The Neighborhood:
My property is in a rural - not isolated or remote -setting and there are various sounds you might hear at random times.......you might hear other people, pets, birds and animal wildlife, farm sounds, yee-haws, shouts of Go-Vols!, duck hunters off in the distance, boats, thunder, wind chimes, a plane flying overhead and yes random vehicles driving by or close by. My property is not in an isolated or remote area completely free of other humans, nature and associated noises. I have added this "legalese" to my listings attempting to "accurately reflect" what sounds a guest might hear during a stay. Geeeeeessshh! Thanks! Jay.......................................................................................................................... Note about property access, use and risk assumed by all guests: All guests agree to hold host harmless in the event of injury that might be sustained through use of the primitive trails, woods and grounds in general.

Getting Around:
Other than the above options, since my property is in the country there is no public transportation available other than Uber or taxi service. The area roads are not conducive to biking or hiking on them as they are too narrow and there is too much traffic.

4. Distances to Cities, Shops, Restaurants and Nashville. Nashville and surrounding areas are all within an easy and comfortable driving distance and are simple to get to. Twig City is located about 6 1/2 miles from Gallatin, Tennessee; 29 miles from downtown Nashville and 30 miles from Music Row; 24 miles to Nashville International Airport; 16 miles to the Nashville “eastside” city limits. Providence Marketplace is only 12 miles away in Mount Juliet. Mount Juliet is also home to hundreds of shops, restaurants and fun things to do. (Mount Juliet is also a stop for the Music City Star passenger train that runs all the way down to Broadway and 1st Avenue in downtown Nashville. Parking rates are high in Nashville and the train might be a fun and inexpensive option to consider for a trip downtown.)

To Nashville – Follow the directions to go to Mount Juliet by either SR 70 or I-40 but continue west to go directly to downtown Nashville. The SR 70 route is more scenic but more congested with traffic and it will deliver you to the “mouth of the downtown Broadway Avenue” part of Nashville.

Courtney’s Cafeteria is located in Mount Juliet, about 10 miles away and is a great “meat and three” cafeteria style place with reasonable prices. Chinese? I suggest China Moon for great tasting, great value Chinese carry out and to dine in try the Far East Buffet in Mount Juliet, an excellent Chinese buffet with a Mongolian BBQ grill. Mount Juliet also has just about every major franchise restaurant imaginable. Mexican? There are at least 10 Mexican restaurants in a 5 miles radius of Mount Juliet! Hickory Smoked BBQ. This is the BBQ capital of the South! Try Big Al's, Blue Moon BBQ in Gallatin or Lebanon or “BarBCutie” in Mount Juliet. Also, Martin's in Mount Juliet is excellent but a bit high priced.
