Twig City Farm has a brand new, state of the art Mesh Wifi system! This is great news for everyone (including me) because the old system drove me totally batty! There are several Twig City networks but your best bet is probably the Twig City Main network. The password for all networks remains "greensnake088".
Thanks!

The Neighborhood:
The Backstage tiny house is located on a 10 acre wooded property, six miles south of Gallatin, TN 100 yards east of the intersection of SR 109 and Academy Road.
Along those lines....please forgive our 'in progress work" that we do trying to make the grounds better and better. We will make every effort to respect your peace and privacy. I promise.
The Backstage is about 30 miles and a 30 to 40 minute drive (depending on traffic) to downtown Nashville, Music Row, Gulch, SoBro and Vandy areas of the hottest town on Planet Earth - Nashville, Tennessee!
Getting Around:
Uber X is around $40 each way to downtown Nashville. Uber Black is around $90 each way.
For something different, I suggest the Music City Star train that takes you to downtown Nashville. The depot is 5 miles away and it is a fun trip. The last time I checked it is $5 per person each way!
If you really want to ride in style check out LIberty Limousine Service!
Other than the above, the Backstage is not located close to public transportation, so you will need to have your own transportation available. There is ample, off street parking in a spot of your choice!

1. Driving Directions – Traveling TO the Property: From Tennessee State Road 109 you will turn east on Academy Road and travel approximately 500 feet to the entrance. The property address is 2892 Academy Road, Lebanon, TN. After you turn onto Academy Road look for the second gravel driveway on the right, turn into the driveway, through the double gates and follow the driveway back to the Tiny House.

3. ¼ Mile Walk to Old Hickory Lake Old Hickory Lake is accessible by foot on undeveloped walking trails that travel north to south on the Property or, for those less adventurous, by car. (Exit the Property and turn left on Academy Road, then left on SR 109 and then make an immediate right into the park.) Beaches, boat ramps and outdoor family areas are also within walking distance from Twig City and are available at Laguardo Recreational Area on Old Hickory Lake located less than ¼ mile from the Property.
4. Distances to Cities, Shops, Restaurants and Nashville. Nashville and surrounding areas are all within an easy and comfortable driving distance and are simple to get to. Twig City is located about 6 1/2 miles from Gallatin, Tennessee; 29 miles from downtown Nashville and 30 miles from Music Row; 24 miles to Nashville International Airport; 16 miles to the Nashville “eastside” city limits. Providence Marketplace is only 12 miles away in Mount Juliet. Mount Juliet is also home to hundreds of shops, restaurants and fun things to do. (Mount Juliet is also a stop for the Music City Star passenger train that runs all the way down to Broadway and 1st Avenue in downtown Nashville. Parking rates are high in Nashville and the train might be a fun and inexpensive option to consider for a trip downtown.)
5. Directions:
To Gallatin – exit Property by turning left out of driveway to SR 109, then turn right on 109 and Gallatin is located about 6 miles away.

(An alternative route to Mount Juliet is to take SR 109 south to where it intersects with Interstate 40 and then take I40 west 5 miles to the Mount Juliet exit, which is exit 226.)
To Nashville – Follow the directions to go to Mount Juliet by either SR 70 or I-40 but continue west to go directly to downtown Nashville. The SR 70 route is more scenic but more congested with traffic and it will deliver you to the “mouth of the downtown Broadway Avenue” part of Nashville. If you choose to travel I-40 it is typical interstate and you can exit at any number of Nashville exits.
Great local “Mom & Pop” restaurants: Cherokee Steakhouse is located at the marina about 4 miles to the north just off SR 109 and has excellent steaks at very reasonable prices. Big Al’s BBQ is located about 4 miles south on SR 109 and has excellent hickory smoked BBQ. Courtney’s Cafeteria is located in Mount Juliet, about 10 miles away and is a great “meat and three” cafeteria style place with reasonable prices. Chinese? I suggest China Moon for great tasting, great value Chinese carry out and to dine in try the Far East Buffet in Mount Juliet, an excellent Chinese buffet with a Mongolian BBQ grill. Mount Juliet also has just about every major franchise restaurant imaginable. Mexican? There are at least 10 Mexican restaurants in a 5 miles radius of Mount Juliet! Hickory Smoked BBQ. This is the BBQ capital of the South! Try Big Al's, Blue Moon BBQ in Gallatin or Lebanon or “BarBCutie” in Mount Juliet. Also, Martin's in Mount Juliet is excellent but a bit high priced.
