Hotels in Hendersonville

Hendersonville sits on the shores of Old Hickory Lake, a short drive northeast of Nashville, and functions mainly as a commuter suburb with a country-music footprint — Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash lived here, and their old lake property draws a trickle of fans. The lake itself is the actual draw for locals and visitors alike: boating, fishing and waterfront parks give the town a reason to exist beyond proximity to the city.

Be honest: there's little in the way of a walkable downtown or standalone attractions, and most people passing through are either headed to Nashville International Airport or using Hendersonville as a cheaper, quieter base than staying in Nashville proper. Stay near the airport side of town if you're catching an early flight or driving in from Nashville; pick something closer to the lake if you actually want a reason to linger.
