Wellness

Rest • Relax • Rejuvenate • Reconnect

The Highlands Riverbend Wellness Experience

At Highlands Riverbend RV Resort & Cabins, we believe life is meant to be enjoyed, not rushed through. Wellness, rest, and rejuvenation are at the heart of everything we do, and we've created a place where you can take a breath, let go of everyday stress, and make time for yourself.

 

Wellness looks different for everyone. It may be a peaceful morning with a cup of coffee, an afternoon in the garden, a relaxing massage, a walk along the river, or simply doing nothing at all. Whatever helps you slow down, recharge, and feel your best, we hope you find it here.

Wellness Begins With Nature

We are incredibly proud of our eight-acre property, home to a small orchard, native flowering bushes, and gardens that invite guests to slow down and enjoy the beauty around them. Our Therapy Garden offers a garden-to-camp-table experience, a chance to connect with the earth and enjoy the rewards of growing things. We also continually add native plants to encourage pollination and welcome bees, birds, and other wildlife.  From May through September, we host monthly Art Therapy experiences, where guests can explore their creativity and try something new in a relaxed setting.

Nourish the Body & Enjoy the Simple Things

Taking care of yourself includes appreciating the little things. Our Trading Post offers a coffee and tea bar and our very own Apothecary, featuring a wide variety of herbs and botanical treasures.  During our season, you will also find locally sourced raw honey from Hickory Knob Farms, fresh sourdough bread delivered weekly, and free-range eggs for purchase, all reflecting our appreciation for natural ingredients, traditional practices, and our wonderful local community.

Make Time to Rest & Recharge 

Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is take time to relax. Our Relaxation Room is available by reservation, and we're happy to arrange a session with one of our mobile massage therapists during your stay. We are also proud to partner with Mighty Soul Wellness Center, just up Highlands Road. Their wellness experiences and events complement our own philosophy of taking time to care for yourself, so visit their website, explore their offerings, and add a little extra wellness to your getaway.

Find Your Own Way to Reconnect

Nature has a wonderful way of reminding us to slow down, and our eight acres are full of wildlife. In the evenings, you may see deer grazing in our meadows. An occasional bear makes an appearance, our resident eagle can sometimes be seen swooping over the river for its next meal, and birdsong is everywhere.

 

For those who like to explore, Franklin's downtown Greenway is about five miles down the road, perfect for walking or biking along the river, and the surrounding mountains offer an abundance of hiking. Whether you prefer watching wildlife, cooling off in the river, a bike ride, a mountain hike, or simply sitting outside in the fresh air, there is something here for everyone.

Our Mission Is Simple

We want Highlands Riverbend to be a place where you can come exactly as you are. You may come for the outdoor adventures, the gardens, the creative experiences, the natural offerings, or a little pampering, or simply because you need a break. Whatever brings you here, we hope you leave feeling a little lighter, a little more rested, and genuinely glad you took the time for yourself. Wellness is not one activity or one experience. It is the combination of things that help us feel better, reconnect with what matters, and enjoy life. Come slow down with us. Rest your mind. Rejuvenate your spirit. Reconnect with nature.
