Jay, why did you name this stall "Sun Glo"? In the late 30's the country was in the throes of the great depression and Jay's father George Wilfong found himself being the breadwinner for his mother and 9 siblings. Doing what he could, with what he had, Wilfong drove his old truck to Indianapolis, Indiana and bought a barrel of gasoline and then started his little "Sun Glo Oil Company". Sun Glo eventually grew into one of the Midwest's leading gas and oil distributors, with his Sun Glo gas stations dotting the region. Good job at that, Dad.

Guests stay in one of a kind, converted horse stalls! Truly a unique, fun life adventure! You also have over 40 acres of beautiful farmland to hike on and enjoy, with farm sights and sounds, picnic areas and snoozy hammocks! Walking distance to Old Hickory Lake, Martha Gallatin Recreation Area and the famous Cherokee Steakhouse & Marina!

It is one of Tennessee's most beautiful and iconic structures, which was originally constructed and owned by Reba McEntire! Thank you Reba! The barn sits in the middle of 46 acres of beautiful Tennessee farmland, complete with trees, ponds and wildlife. Guests are welcome to to walk or ride bikes around the farm. The farm is located just 200 yards from Old Hickory Lake. Cherokee Marina, Gallatin Marina and Martha Gallatin Rec Area are all very close by. Come visit! Hang out and "demateralize" for a day or week or two! See you soon!

It is located just south of Gallatin, Tennessee and 1/4 mile from the Cumberland River. Nashville is an easy drive of 35 miles to downtown. Lots of great country restaurants and shops in the area. Boating, hiking, fishing and more close by......

It is serviced by local taxi companies, Uber, Lyft and we even have our own stretch Limo service available to guests at discounted pricing.

Important Note: Please consider that you are reserving a listing located on a farm and in the country. It is not unusual to see an occasional insect or small Tennessee wildlife (including Stuart Little on very rare occasion) during your visit. If this is an issue for you or anyone in your party please do not make a reservation. I am not able to provide a full or partial refund.

Perfection, Comfort, Luxury, Rain and Leaky Roofs: We are “Perfectly Imperfect” and cannot guarantee that you will be in perfect comfort and luxury. Don’t make a reservation if you expect a Hilton type experience. We are not in that business. During heavy rains, there might be a roof leak particularly in teepees and glamping tents. There could be occasional maintenance issues and we will always resolve them in the quickest timeframe possible. We will always do our best but don’t expect perfection please.

Hunting: We do not permit hunting of any type of either property and in fact consider the farms to be Tennessee Wildlife Preserves. However, you could hear occasional gunfire off in the distance because hunting is legal in Tennessee and is an integral part of the Tennessee heritage and culture.

Fireworks and Farm Noises: You are likely to hear typical farm noises during your visit. We also have fireworks periodically throughout the year, on holidays and special events.

After Hours Guest Services: Also, we cannot be responsible for being “on-call” after 6 p.m. for minor guest needs and services. Repair of maintenance issues might not be possible until the following morning. Upon your arrival please inspect your listing inside and outside and let us know then, if something needs to be addressed, rather than late at night. Please arrive before dark to become acclimated and to enjoy the properties.
