    "They’ll hate there’s no where to walk the dog except for the front yard. I love on the highway. It’s rural and difficult to find dog-friendly places."

    "I have lived in this area for almost 6 years. The Savannah Heights (Cheyenne Trail) Subdivision is very nice. This area is quiet, composed of a good mix of families and couples. We are nicely located near I-40 in 2 directions. There is a state park within a few miles drive, and Cookeville is just minutes away. "
