Summary Summary
This hidden gem set amongst the rolling hills and historic charm of Franklin is truly a sight to behold, where southern hospitality meets modern luxury to provide the perfect family retreat, romantic getaway, or simply an escape for peace and tranquility.
Description Description
Located on an almost 3-acre secluded lot, privacy is in abundance at this historic 1930s home, in a location that places you within the sought-after arts district known as Leiper’s Fork. Here, you’re only a 40-minute drive from the heart of the dynamic city of Nashville, and under 20 minutes to downtown Franklin offering trendy boutiques and award-winning restaurants. Immerse yourself in the city's rich heritage with a visit to landmarks like the Carter House and Carnton, or take a leisurely stroll along Main Street, soaking in all the sights and sounds. The home’s shaded front porch with built-in wood fireplace will be your go-to spot for your morning coffee or an evening cocktail, enjoying the panoramic views while turning the pages of a good book. To get the adrenaline pumping, grab a ball and shoot some hoops on the basketball court, providing hours of competitive fun.

This craftsman-style home has been completely renovated through the vision and talents of two local historic preservationists. As it was completely rebuilt, parts of the original structure were reincorporated into the new design. Antique hand-picked doors, handles, and more were repurposed throughout the home along with repurposed bead board to create a rustic feel. The fireplace was recreated with Indiana limestone that was hand hewn on site. Custom windows were designed to replicate the original windows and the two-story garage was inspired by a barn at Roosevelt's home at Hyde Park. It’s truly a work of art at every turn!

Cozy in to plush living room sofa seating as you stream that new movie you’ve been saving on the smart TV, keeping yourself surrounded by the scenic outdoor vistas. The modern kitchen, with its stainless steel appliances, glossy stone countertops, and sleek white cabinetry, has everything you need for the convenience of preparing meals at home. You’ll have your choice of where to take your meals between the kitchen nook with bench-style seating, the dining room with formal seating for 6, or even al fresco on screened in patio with outdoor seating for 4. A grill provides a vessel for an additional mealtime offering where you can stay true to the southern heritage of whipping up a delicious afternoon barbeque.

This home comfortably sleeps 8 guests between 3 private bedrooms.

Bedroom #1 includes a king size bed and ensuite bathroom with a dual vanity and walk-in shower.

Bedroom #2 includes 2 twin size beds, 2 twin trundles, and a smart TV.

Bedroom #3 includes a king size bed.

The home also includes a half bathroom as well as an additional full guest bathroom with a pedestal sink and shower/tub combo.

The location of this Airbnb was great and convenient. However, our stay had several challenges. There were issues with bugs, and when we arrived the house smelled strongly of ant spray. The second day when we woke up the house smelled like campfire and we didn’t use the fireplace. We did have to replace the battery in a smoke detector because it was chirping the whole time. The kitchen was very minimally stocked—only two knives and no serrated knife for cutting bread—which made cooking difficult. There were also not enough towels provided, so we had to do laundry daily just to have clean towels. Additionally, there was very limited storage space for food. Overall, the location was nice, but these issues impacted our comfort during the stay.

My wife and I loved our stay! The home was perfect for the two of us — very clean, with an updated kitchen, and surrounded by beautiful countryside. Evenings were spent enjoying fires at the front of the home, and mornings on the screened-in porch out back, taking in the peaceful view of the hills and forest. We’ve stayed in Franklin before, but this spot in Leiper’s Fork is our new favorite. Comfortable bed, great location — less than a mile to town and only about 20 minutes to Franklin. We’ll definitely be back!

My son and I had a great time! The place was exactly as depicted. Beautiful and spacious on the inside with a nice screened in back porch overlooking a pretty, well manicured backyard. Only a mile away from Leiper’s Fork, which I find quaint and rustic and just lovely. I highly recommend this place for a quiet getaway!!

We had a mother- daughter weekend at this beautiful home. We totally loved our experience . The house was immaculate, beds were very comfortable, and the setting was perfect. We had a little issue at check-in regarding an electrical breaker and someone responded in person almost immediately to fix the issue- really first rate service and hosting . On top of it all , the house and decor were inspiring - a style all 4 of us loved. Truly one of my favorite airbnb stays! As a former host, I appreciate how much work goes into delivering this high- level property and experience for guests. Thank you!

Can’t think of a nicer place to spend a rainy summer day with friends. The very nice interior design really compliments the style of the home. Peaceful and private, yet just a short drive to Franklin with many places to eat and interesting things to do. Don’t miss the bookstore! Also, easy to get to Nashville, see the sites there, enjoy a show and then return to serenity. Just one very small comment - if there was a hair dryer for the upstairs bathroom we could not find it. There is lots of closet and storage space up there, so it is possible we just did not peek in the right place.

We rented this charming home on the outskirts of Leipers Fork for a family reunion. Our children who stayed there loved the house and all of its amenities and even said that they would love to stay there again! The big swing in the front yard especially captived the grandchildren and we have sweet photos of them swinging in this beautiful and tranquil setting. We would highly recommend this as a base for exploring middle Tennessee!

We overall had a pleasant experience at this property. The house was charming with a peaceful creek that our kids loved. The setting is serene—perfect for a relaxing getaway in the country. There were, however, a couple of things that impacted our stay. There is a significant ant problem in the kitchen; even small amounts of food left out for a short time would attract them. On our last evening, a mowing crew arrived unexpectedly. It caught us off guard and made us feel a bit uneasy, as we weren’t informed anyone would be coming to the property. I contacted the management company, and while they were apologetic, they stated they don't even know most the time when mowers are coming. Still, we feel this is something that should be communicated ahead of time or scheduled between guest stays-especially since there was a 5-day window after our checkout. All in all, this is a lovely property in a beautiful location, but a few communication and maintenance issues kept it from being seamless.

My family and I stayed here for a week and absolutely loved it! The home is stunning with so much character and the location is very peaceful. We loved swinging on the swing in the front yard and visiting the horses and donkey across the street! One morning we even had about 15 deer playing in the backyard near the beautiful creek. This home was extremely clean and well kept. The mattresses were the most comfortable i've ever slept on! The beautiful fireplace out front was perfect for cozy nights and the rocking chairs were the best spot for morning coffee outside! The location is great, only a 2 minute drive to the center of Leipers Fork which had wonderful shops, the Fox & Locke for live music, Hank's Coffee Station and restaurants. It was such a relaxing and beautiful place to stay, and we all miss it so much! My family and I made such great memories in this cozy home and we all highly recommend it! Tennessee is so beautiful!

Beautiful Cottage!! It is only a short several minute drive to the quaint, beautiful town of Leipers Fork with cute shops, coffee and restaurants. Also, a short 15 minute drive to Franklin. The home is so cozy & relaxing with a lazy creek in the back and gorgeous yard. We enjoyed the outdoor fireplace & rocking chairs & the beds were very comfortable. Our party of 5 had plenty of room to spread out and also gather in the living room. It felt very private and peaceful. We would definitely return in the future!

Serene and cozy home that was perfect for a girls getaway. It had everything we needed. Loved the tree swing and the rockers on the front porch! The beds were very comfortable. WiFi can be a bit spotty, at times, but wasn’t a bother. One note, there are not 4 twin beds upstairs, just two and a king bed. But there is a den area upstairs. We highly recommend!!!

LOVED our stay at this beautiful house in Leiper’s Fork!!! My family and I stayed to check out the area for consideration for relocating. We fell in love with Leiper’s Fork and with this house!!! The house is the perfect blend of new blended with old. It’s very tastefully decorated. The beds, pillows, and sheets were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, my girls loved playing basketball, the location to town was great, and it was the perfect house for unwinding! The communication was great with the host and he was very accommodating. I hope to return one day!!!!
