It is so difficult to put into words how well this home suited us on our spring break vacation (3/16-3/23/19). We drove from WI and had family visiting us from several locations in waves (IA, MI, FL and Germany), so total throughout the stay the home accommodated 12 people.
The beds and bedding were all EXTREMELY comfortable, there were plenty of bathrooms and showers for people to use and there were enough kitchen supplies to serve at least one meal every day and varying in complexity...there was NOTHING that we couldn't find in the kitchen that was needed for our meal!
We loved having the fireplace and outdoor area to hang out in. The neighborhood was GORGEOUS. I wished we would've rented a boat to use at the home but it was a bit chilly the week of our stay. Otherwise, the covered dock would've been super convenient!! The views from the home from every window facing the lake are beautiful, especially the kitchen and living room. The views alone did me in.
The pool table kept the kids entertained, and we did crash in the main room and watched movies and basketball a couple of the nights. The sun room was PERFECT and my 9-year-old daughter did NOT want to leave the papasan chair in the far left corner! She snuggled up with one of their several throw blankets and knitted, read and talked to her friends.
Last thing is the wildlife viewing from both inside and out. We saw a sandhill crane fishing off one of the docks as we sat on the edge of the water. It didn't notice us at all. We also saw woodpeckers and duck couples, and very low-flying turkey vultures showing off. There are also lots of deer that will come out and graze at night in neighboring homes. The neighborhood is beautiful to take a walk in, and safe. I even ran into the neighbor lady to the left who was very sweet. Great place to live and vacation in Mt. Juliet!
It is about a 25-30 drive to downtown Nashville. Cheekwood and Belle Meade were about 45 minutes away. Nashville's roads wind quite a bit, otherwise it would be much faster as the actual distance in miles is not much.
I absolutely loved our stay and would consider coming back to this home if we don't stay downtown based on the view and care and hospitality by the owners!
