We stayed at Mari's place during our recent trip to be in the Nashville area for a family wedding and then a relaxing time at the lake. The apartment with its amenities was perfect for what we needed...comfortable king bed, great shower, and plenty of seating for our adult sons to come visit. We were initially disappointed with the look of the area as we drove in (more industrial than quaint town), but we had brought our bikes and as we biked around town and down to the marina, we found the charm and beauty of the lakefront homes and the peaceful setting to be just what we needed. We initially drove to the nearby lake access at Old Hickory Beach, but later found we preferred to drive a bit farther around the lake to the Rockland Recreation Area which was beautiful and set up with lots of picnic tables, grills, and easy lake access for fishing. All in all, a wonderful stay, and Mari's well-stocked and comfortable apartment was a key part of our enjoyable vacation. Thanks Mari!
