We love living near the city of Nashville but not necessarily in it; guess we're country bumpkins at heart. We can pop into the city for music, culture, entertainment, dining, sporting events, theater, and a number of other activities but then be able to go back to the cabin to relax and unwind in the country. There's a lot to do and see right in the town of Gallatin without having to go into Nashville as well. Old Hickory Lake runs through the town of Gallatin and offers parks, swimming, boating, fishing, hiking in addition to other interests such as shopping, dining, theater, and golf to name a few.
