Get a taste of Tennessee in tiny Lebanon
No, you're not in Nashville, but a Lebanon vacation rental will put you pretty darn close. The Country Music Capital is about 30 miles west of this sleepy town that residents have nicknamed "Cedar City" because of the area's many cedar trees. Little tributaries that stem from the sprawling Cumberland River wind through the town's peaceful parks and golf courses, where y'all can bask like a lizard in the warm weather. Ultimately, Lebanon's a quiet escape where you can find country music and tasty Tennessee cuisine without the big city chaos.

Are you looking for attractions to see during your stay?

Sip on sweet tea and watch a storm chase the sun away
Spring, early summer and late fall bring warm and comfortable weather and frequent rainfall. If you're one of those people who loves to sip on some sweet tea while you watch a thunderstorm roll on up, Lebanon vacation rentals are for you. The hot summers can get a little muggy and buggy, so bring your insect repellant. August is a popular time for Lebanon, when folks flock to the fair grounds for the Wilson County Fair. In the winter, when temps get down to the 30s (and sometimes 20s), a rare snowfall will send the city into a tizzy.
Nothin' sweeter than Lebanon's scent of cedar
Breath through your nose and you'll likely get a whiff of 1 of Lebanon's many cedar trees. These aromatic pines make the whole area smell and look like Christmas. You've got the massive Cumberland River to the north, and J. Percy Lake to the west, both of which are wildlife havens, with otters, coyotes, migrating birds and more. Central Tennessee is flat, and while there are some gently rolling hills around here, you'd have to drive about 100 miles east to reach the Smokies foothills.
