Mother-Daughter Getaway Weekend

near Nashville, TN

Spend Focused One-on-One Time Together at Our Annual Mother-Daughter Getaway Weekend 

September 12-14, 2025
Friday 4 p.m. to Sunday 11 a.m.

 As moms, we tend to be rushed to stay on task. It’s easy for time to pass us by without having spent quality time with our daughter. This special weekend getaway helps you purposely have mother-daughter time together and connect on a deeper level.

Deer Run’s private 150-acre scenic property just south of Franklin, TN, is the perfect setting for your mother-daughter weekend retreat with first-class accommodations and numerous recreation options.

Everything is planned for you so you can fully focus on your mother-daughter relationship without the usual distractions of everyday life … play, learn, and laugh while you enjoy focused time with each other.

Friday evening, plan on getting cozy with your blankets and pillows (and stuffed animals!) for an outdoor movie night under the stars, but first stop by the Camp Store to pick up popcorn, movie snacks and beverages. As the sun goes down Saturday, you will experience fun and laughter at the mother-daughter glow night dance party, then get a thrill out of the nighttime wagon rides, stargazing, and campfire with s’mores.

Moms, don’t miss this opportunity to slow the pace, recapture a bit of the magic of childhood and engage the heart and passions of your daughter. She will see you in a new light, love capturing your attention, and feel deeply loved. This memory-making mother-daughter event is a weekend you will talk about for a long time!

This event is popular for moms with daughters ages 5-14. However, daughters of all ages (and grandmothers!) will have a fabulous time! Aunts, foster moms, or mentors are encouraged to attend with girls whose mom is unable to attend or with girls who do not have a mom.

Glow Night Theme: Go back in time to the Renaissance Era and wear your favorite Renaissance inspired gown and/or accessories for this year’s Glow Night Dance Party!
