Butterfly Hollow is located in northern middle Tennessee, only fifty minutes East of Nashville. It is where the Nashville Basin begins to roll and forms the foothills to the Cumberland Plateau. Butterfly Hollow is centrally located between beautiful lakes, pristine rivers, some of the area's best State Parks and within a ten minutes drive to the historic towns of Carthage and Gordonsville.
