The Neighborhood:
We are miles from historic Leipers Fork (Distillery tours, Puckett's Live Music - don't miss Thursday night's open mic) and Franklin (old time Main Street, fancy restaurants, boutique shopping). Nashville honky tonks are 23 miles away, midtown is 19 miles away. The best thing about the Neighborhood is that there are not many neighbors! The Fork Inn is a rural paradise of 2000 acres in a protected watershed of Big East Fork Valley. You will be next to an 8-acre lake and beaver habijtat with abundant wildlife and many hiking trails. Bring your bicycles and creek shoes. Fish for small mouth bass and blue gill. Visit the organic farms of Big East Fork Farms across the road and visit the sweet farm animals. Gaze at the evening stars in our night sky. The Center for Sustainable Stewardship is adjacent and has kayaks, paddleboats, and canoes as well as various nature and art programs.
