That sweet couple saw an abandoned place (a land mark community hone) and knew they could fix it to nearly the original splendor. It is soooo worth spending the day there, and take advantage of the sweet little cafe. We just loved our lunch. The home was built with all the modern conveniences when indoor plumbing or electric were unheard of! It saw many different owners, including a doctor who turned the home into a hospital! It was even where the first hip surgery was ever done in the county. A must see!!!

It is a nudist resort, not clothing-optional. We loved the way they made posting the rules sort of fun through clever & funny signs everywhere. Everyone seemed to respect the rules. We noticed immediately how clean, quaint, and well-kept the resort was! It's obvious the residents/members there take great pride in decorating and maintaining their lots. There were "yard of the year" award plaques at many of them. One deck was shaped & decorated like an old wooden ship; others had themed frog or fairy gardens. Lots of them had decorative lights. We enjoyed nightly walks there. The owner (Suzie) was super helpful and welcoming. Everyone we met was too. That's what we love the most and have come to always appreciate about the nudist community! After arriving close to dusk and setting up our campsite, a gathering of campers nearby invited us over for steak & potatoes left over from their pitch-in. We were tired from 10 hours on the road, so we thankfully enjoyed the meal while getting to hear the fun adventures they were all on. The common areas were large & open. There were two large covered pavilions for gatherings - one had a kitchen/grill at the end that sells food on the weekends. The other doubles as a remote control car racetrack (very unique) and a dance area. Then there is a separate indoor rec hall with a big rock fireplace, a small gym, a bathhouse, and a little "country store" where you can buy ice cream, snacks, and basic toiletries. Throughout the common ground areas, a kid-sized train track winds through, probably delighting kids and adults alike when running (which it wasn't while we were there). This is a great place during the week for those who like a quieter resort visit, but we heard it gets busier on the weekends. There were lists of regular & special activities posted so you could be as social as you want to be, or not. We enjoyed the great sand volleyball courts, which included a covered area with fans, chairs, tables & a water fountain! There were pickleball, tennis, and basketball courts, and a small playground. The pool & hot tub were small but clean. The pool isn't heated but refreshing when it gets really hot. The campground where we stayed had picnic tables and electricity convenient at most sites. We tested out our new SUV tent, and it worked well. The tent attaches to the open back hatch so we sleep in the back of the SUV on a special mattress made to fit around the wheel wells. Packing for 10 weeks was quite a task, but we got it all figured out. We took a trip to the local downtown of Murfreesboro for dinner and enjoyed seeing a small town. We ate at a great local restaurant called The Alley. We are so glad we stopped here first on our trip as it was a lovely relaxing start to our summer journey.

Every small detail has been carefully thought out. Although it is a treehouse, the bathroom is immaculate. A very large shower, bathtub, and double vanity sink. Super eclectic -- just look at the sink fixtures that look like a giant swan head. They repurposed stained glass from an old Burger King, doors from an 1800s mansion, a vintage jukebox and record player. It goes on and on. The construction is awesome too. This was built by Amish craftsmen and has giant windows, a huge bed swing underneath, and a hot rub and fire pit. There's also a separate deck with an eating area. All of this is carefully curated with nice outdoor lighting and art everywhere. Super private place and very much in the middle of nature. Aside from all that, the complex has a Swedish sauna, cold plunge, basketball court, putting area, and small camper trailers with recreational items like basketballs and games. Overall: VERY cool place if you need to get away from it all. Recommended.

1) Do you like horses?…read more 2) Do you like free entertainment? If you answered "Yes" to both questions, then get thee to the Miller Coliseum. Throughout the year, the Coliseum offers a schedule of events that are mostly free and give you a chance to watch beautiful horses at close range - http://www.mtsu.edu/tmc/schedule.php A couple of events - motorcycle cross tour, truck and tractor pull, etc. - do charge admission fees, but those are still affordable (under $20/person) and the vast majority of horse-related events are free. We visited this past weekend for the Volunteer Ranch Horse Show. The show ran all day Saturday and Sunday. If we had stayed for the whole show, it might have gotten a little repetitive, but it was a joy to be able to drop in for a couple of hours and observe some expert horsemanship. Tip - All those horses, motorcycles and tractors do stir up a fair amount of dirt. The building is coated in dust - literally up to the rafters. Not a deal-breaker, but you may want to leave your tuxedos and ball gowns at home.
