Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Millington appeals to a range of travel interests: Meeman-Shelby Forest State Natural Area offers a nature-focused experience, Glen Eagle is known for golf, Lightfoot Farmstead for hands-on courses, and Jones Orchard for farm-market foods. When looking for a hotel in Millington, it helps to first decide on the purpose of your stay. The offerings also differ in their timing: birdwatching is possible year-round, while course schedules may change.

Scenery and Birdwatching

Meeman-Shelby Forest State Natural Area is located within Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park; its address is 910 Riddick Road, Millington, Tennessee. The area includes approximately 7,000 acres of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain and approximately 4,000 acres of the Chickasaw Bluff. Both figures are estimates. They give a concrete sense of the area’s scale while distinguishing two named landscape units within it.

Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park offers year-round birdwatching opportunities. This brings together the experience of the landscape and an activity that is not limited to a single part of the year. If nature observation is your main focus, you can take this flexibility into account when choosing when to travel.

Golf as a Travel Purpose in Its Own Right

Glen Eagle Golf Course is an 18-hole championship golf course open to the public. Its format and public access are clearly specified. If golf is the reason for your stay, check the latest access information before visiting. This lets you plan your golf outing specifically, rather than treating it as just a general leisure interest.

Hands-On Courses and Farm Markets

Lightfoot Farmstead offers hands-on self-sufficiency courses. These include courses on processing chickens and pigs. Their practical nature and specific topics make them a learning opportunity distinct from a golf outing or a market visit. Since course schedules may change, check the dates before making a course the fixed purpose of your trip.

Jones Orchard operates two roadside farm markets in Millington. Fresh produce, jams, jellies and relishes are available there. The selection combines fresh goods with several processed products, adding a food-related option to the possible travel interests. For visitors interested in these products, the focus here is on the food, rather than on a hands-on learning activity like the farm courses.

Plan a Stay That Suits You

For your planning, it is worth separating the time required from the main focus of your trip. Birdwatching is possible year-round; for a particular farm course, check the changing schedule, and for golf, check the latest access information. If a course is your main reason for traveling and your dates are flexible, check the course schedule first.
