I also bought a sweet horse from him several years ago and he helped me get the appropriate one for me according to my experience. His farrier services are professional and he gets the job done right. Brandon is honest and will never steer you wrong!

Told it takes a year to get your mount .. a year in after asking questions they lost my cape needed pictures of the animal to "locate" the horns. Told me a million different excuses and have promised a million different dates it would be ready only for none of that to be true. I paid for the service in full as I thought this would be beneficial for all involved, I highly recommend you do not do the same!! I highly suggest if you try this lodge do so knowing you will need to have your own taxidermy the "in house" taxidermy sounds great but that couldn't be further from the truth. Oh and yes I still have no mount and the excuses still exist.

Group of 6 of us hunted this weekend. Overall pretty good experience. All 6 of us got our hogs…read more Pro's - lots of hogs to choose from. Many other species to see and choose from. Todd was our guide and we had a great time with him. The staff would bend over backwards to make sure you had what you needed. Scenic views. Con's - the meals were mediocre at best. There was a pretty bad smell near the Razorback Lodge due to being next to the skinning shed. Main hunting area can be crowded with other hunters. Razorback lodge could use an extra bathroom.

This recreation area has some great views and some good picnic areas, however the island across the…read morebridge is completely neglected. Facilities are ok. There are lots of picnic tables in a variety of settings, from open field to hilltop shaded, and some have grills nearby. As you cross the bridge to the narrow island, you will find a mostly secluded trail that runs in a loop along the sides of the island. The further you go, the more neglected the trail. Wear closed toed shoes, as there are some small washouts and lots of poison ivy just off and sometimes on the trail. On the north side, there are small caves and cliffs that make a beautiful juxtaposition with the lake and woods. I recommend sticking to the north (left) part of the trail and going to the small caves and then turning around from there. The deeper you go, the more neglected the park, including ruins from a campground. Near the bridge there are rock shelves that make swimming or wading easy for all skill levels and ages, just be aware that the rock shelves create sudden drop-offs into deeper water. The swimming area is roped off on one side to minimize concerns about boat traffic. The lake is refreshing on hot days, so have a picnic and then dip your feet. All in all, this park could five stars if it wasn't so neglected. It's still a nice place for a picnic and a swim or a boat trip from the ramp.

We made the 25-minute drive from Cookeville based on a friend's recommendation--and we're so glad…read morewe did! The short hike up to the overlook took about 5 minutes, and the view at the top is absolutely breathtaking. It's a great little adventure and well worth the drive. I was wearing sandals and made it just fine, but I'd definitely recommend closed-toe shoes for better grip and safety. Also--don't forget the bug spray! We got bit by some gnat-type bugs while taking in the view. Can't wait to come back when the weather cools down. It's one of those spots that's beautiful now and will be even more amazing in the fall.

We drove from Hendersonville Tn to Bee Rock Overlook 11/4/2025 that took us over two hours. When we…read morearrived there were people warning about the Asian Lady Bugs. They were covered and trying to knock them off before getting in their car. We walked up to the overlook anyway since we drove so far. Man, they weren't kidding! There were swarms of these things everywhere. It was awful and we had our dog with us. While I was getting the dog back in our truck these pests were all around and a bunch got inside the cab. We had them flying around inside the cab on the way home and even finding more the next day. Not a fun day at Bee Rock. If the lady bugs weren't there it would be a nice place to see, a very short walk to the overlook but a little tricky in a couple of spots. I had to photoshop the swarming bugs out of these pictures.

Dogwood park playground was amazing! The kids had a fantastic time on the playset. There was a wide…read morerange of activities for the kids to enjoy. Including swings, slides, tunnels, balance beams etc. There was even a little tots area just for toddlers. We spent a lot of time here and the bathrooms were very clean and had baby changing tables. Highly recommend checking this place out if you are in the area.

My friends and I are working at a local camp, and tonight we had the night off. :)…read more We discovered a charming local park and spent several hours soaking in the sunshine and soft green grass. I found a shady spot under a tree and quietly watched the world go by--kids zipping past on scooters, dogs enjoying their evening walks, and a couple sharing a quiet picnic in the grass. A walking path loops around the park, perfect for a stroll, and there's a splash pad that keeps kids of all ages squealing with happiness. It's the kind of place where the simple sounds of laughter and conversation remind you how beautiful the little moments can be. If you're ever nearby, bring a book, a blanket, and maybe your pup. Settle in, slow down, and let the park work its quiet magic

Secluded. Private. Girls only. Been around since 1945. Overnight summer camp in 4, 8 week sessions…read more I attended for 20 years, both as a camper and on staff, and it helped shape who I became. Not only does a young girl learn to live with other girls in nature, but she learns to live simplisticly and without the worldly distractions and pressures. Morals are instilled. Athletics are taught. And a girl leaves summer camp with an abundance of friends, love for the outdoors, and a sense of being a good, moral person with good sportsmanship, skills and talents. Please, if you have ANY questions, let me know.

I went to Monterey for 6 years in the early 60's and I truly think that it made me the person that…read moreI became. I learned things to do there that I never would have learned anywhere else. When I went you could go for either 4 or 8 weeks. Because I was 7 or 8 the first summer my parents sent me for 4 weeks thinking that it was a long enough time. Wrong! When the time came to leave I didn't want to go so.....I didn't get on the bus! Miss Dollie called my folks to explain and they let me stay the whole time. It was wonderful! So - what do you learn beside the usual camp activities? Looking back I can honestly say that I learned teamwork, independence, honesty, diligence, compassion, leadership, how to win - and lose - graciously, introspection, spirituality, self-confidence, this list goes on and on. When I had a daughter of my own she also went to Monterey. She now has a daughter and guess who's going when she's old enough? Monterey was founded by a wonderful woman named Dollie Williams. We all called her Miss Dollie. For those of you with sons, do not despair! Miss Dollie had a son - Malcolm - and he founded the boys' camp - Camp Country Lad. It's close to Monterey and is a mirror of Monterey built for boys. I'm older now and the world is a different place. I urge you to consider this opportunity for your daughter. It will definitely make a difference in her life. Be prepared - you may not get the same girl back that you send but what you will get is a wonderful child that will be source of pride and love forever. She will shine!
