With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Cookeville, 30 miles away, has to offer. Golden Eagle Golf Club, Cookeville History Museum and Dogwood Park alone justify the drive out here. Situated 50 miles away, Chattanooga is another popular destination. If you stop by, don’t miss Tennessee Aquarium, Ruby Falls and Chattanooga Riverfront.
