We had a wonderful stay at Valentino's Retreat. The location was perfect for viewing the August, 21, 2017 total solar eclipse. We were able set up our equipment right outside the front door and view the amazing sight in total comfort. The cottage is roomy, and well equipped, in a quiet and secure location close to Goodletsville (which is a 20 minute drive to downtown Nashville). It is tastefully and exquisitely decorated in a country music theme, as our hosts, Jay and Dana, are both professional musicians. They are also very warm and inviting, but never intrusive. (We even met Jay at his recording studio in Nashville for a tour. That was super-cool!) The cottage has a large wraparound deck with tables and chairs for sitting outside in good weather. The farm has two miniature donkeys that you can feed and a small herd of cows in nearby fields. There's also a flock of wild turkeys that visit periodically. We'll happily reserve Valentino's Retreat again if we're ever in the area. Highly recommended!
