Fairview feels like a cozy retreat rather than a dull layover — anchored by Bowie Nature Park’s 722 acres, 17 miles of trails and a nature center that turn evenings and days off into easy outdoor escapes, and the town has a small, friendly community of roughly 10,000 residents.
You’re also within easy weekend reach of bigger options — about 25–30 miles to Nashville for music, dining and an airport and under 20 miles to historic Franklin for shops, restaurants and festivals, so you can enjoy quiet weekdays and lively weekends without long drives.
