Welcome to a 2500 acre nature sanctuary and the protected headwaters of Big East Fork Valley.The LakeTrail House is right in the middle of abundant nature, home to spiders, moths, caterpillars and a riot of diverse wildlife. These natives occasionally explore the house and end up stuck; please let us know if you should encounter any of these critters. If you do not LOVE nature, please do not come. We choose to be surrounded by nature and sometime it walks into the house on 2, 4, 6, or 8 legs! Mice (cute country ones, not mean city ones), may be living nearby so don’t leave food outside of containers at night. At certain times of the year we may be invited by hoards of millipedes or asian beetles. They come, they die, we sweep them up, and we wait for the next round. Country living is not for everyone!The LakeTrail House sits on Backbone Ridge outside Leiper's Fork. Lake Gratitude Natural Area is just down the hill and has great hiking trails and picnicking. Contact the non-profit Center for Sustainable Stewardship for access to watercraft and bicycle rentals. We generally leave our guests alone, but may visit at an appropriate time to say hello.There is convenient bicycle and walking access onto the scenic Natchez Trace Parkway. This lodging is near Lake Gratitude, which lies at the beginning of a pristine creek within a gorgeous valley. The CSS Adventure Center (just down the hill} services bicycles and watercraft in exchanges for donations. 20 miles from downtown Nashville and 8 miles from historic Franklin and light years away from the stress of city life. The Fork Inn is part of a 1400-acre Conservation easement and features a 6-acre lake and many hiking trails. Enjoy biking, hiking, canoeing, massage and more! Nearby Big East Fork Farms is just down the hill and provides organic produce and sweet animals (donkey, cow, pigs, goats, chickens) for petting and interaction. Rosie the donkey and Winston the cow love attention (and veggies)!THE BASE PRICE IS FOR FOUR (4) PERSONS. There is a $40/person/night additional charge for the number of persons over four.Please note that the LakeTrail house is a COUNTRY RETREAT; we do not have cable internet. We use satellite internet that may not work as fast as you are used to, especially during stormy weather or if you use multiple devices simultaneously.

In summary we have internet and it works, but if you are in need city speeds and bandwidth, you may wish to rent elsewhere.
