I have had the honor of investigating this hotel for paranormal phenomenon, and this is by far the most haunted location I have ever visited.

Clint Ferguson

We have thoroughly enjoyed every visit to the Walking Horse Hotel, Chais Music Hall. The performances are top-notch and it's so nice to enjoy this quality entertainment inside an elegant historic building in a beautiful setting. We are looking forward to hearing the Beatles' music by The Mystery Trip Band this Saturday night....we just keep coming back for more!

We have been to several concerts/dances at the Walking Horse Hotel Chais Music Hall. The music is extraordinary, the quality is better than most and everyone is treated as VIPs. No one will be sorry once they hear the various groups. We saw the first the Mystery Trip Band's Beatles tribute performance and was blown away. We hope to make the next one. We also totally enjoy the Midnight Special Band and a chance to dance and have fun. Thanks Joe Peters for giving Murfreesboro, Christiana, Wartrace, BellBuckle and Shelbyville residents such an elegant and magnificent place to party!! ROCK ON...

My first encounter with real session players. Guys who can play just about anything by ear. Loved it! This is a place to come and really enjoy one of the best bands I have ever heard. Everybody should come out and enjoy and dance the night away. Jane

I wanted to thank you again for having us, in one of the best music halls I've played in. Not only was the place so beautiful, but the acoustics, the experience, and the staff, yourself included, were all very accommodating. I would encourage anyone to come to this hidden jewel to perform!

Had a wonderful time today at your hotel. Enjoyed listening to gospel music in Chais Music Hall--what great acoustics. I know Chais is smiling down from Heaven. Enjoyed getting to know you. Thank you from the Sargents for the opportunity to minister in song.

Chris Sargent

The accomodations and the music were great! You run a class act, Joe!

Jerry Singleton

It's a great honor to be one of the artists that is performing on Inspirational Sundays at the Walking Horse Hotel. The sound is fantastic and the atmosphere just super friendly. Joe has started a great work with his family friendly music of all genres. Keep up the good work. Deon Unthank The Sunday Edition

Deon Unthank

To say I was impressed with the Walking Horse Hotel and the Chais Music Hall would be be an understatement. The atmosphere, lighting and sound were fantastic, but more than that I felt welcome, comfortable and appreciated. I would highly recommend this establishment to any musician or to anyone looking for a quiet laid back evening in a beautiful environment. I can't wait to bring my music ministry back!

Rick Alan King

We had a great time performing at the Chais Music Hall and jamming with Joe! The venue looks (and sounds) wonderful, the staff was first-rate, and you even had a piano available for us! We're looking forward to a return visit to the Walking Horse Hotel.

Carolyn Martin

My experiences at the Chais Music hall are always extremely enjoyable. The place oozes with class and style and the audiences always have a great time. The sound, the food and the decor are all handled with love and that's why I always look forward to playing there.

Drove 4-1/2 hours to Wartrace to stay at the Walking Horse Hotel and hear Beppe Gambetta work his magic on the fretboard. WOW! While there is nothing much in Wartrace, this venue is all it needs! The acoustics were superb, and the venue lends itself to meeting other people including the artists. The hotel is a B&B on steroids. Not your usual hotel, Joe runs a beautiful old place with a B&B intimate feel. He is there and always helpful, but not at all overbearing. We'll make the drive again! Big town entertainment in a small town venue, with friendly folks. You can't go wrong. And by the way, be sure to see the countryside. It is beautiful!

Nick and Lynn Ware

The Chais Music Hall is an acoustic dream come true for the artists and audience. State of the art all the way.

Don Ray

I was attending a family reunion with a friend in Wartrace, 7/31/10. When we left, we wanted to explore the beauty and rich history of the area. I live in Huntsville, Al and this was such a thrill for me. We got into the middle town and saw this incredible old building and realized it was an operating hotel. We looked at each other and said, we want to take a look inside. As soon as we opened the door, there stood the owner Joe and he welcomed us with open arms even though there was a wedding reception close behind. He not only gave us a tour of all the incredibly beautiful renovations he has done but, gave us the run of the hotel and allowed us to tour the 2 floors. My friend and I were almost speechless as we walked around and I could actually feel the history and magnificence of this historic hotel. We definitely go back for a weekend stay and enjoy being in the Chais Music Hall listening and dancing to great music. Thank you Joe for your warm hospitality and I know your dream will come true.
