A truly stunning historic cottage by White's Mercantile Room and Board! This is the only nightly rental available in the heart of Leiper's Fork village, walk to everything! Built in 1892 for the Carl Sweeney family, these walls and rooms are brimming with stories. Happiness and tragedy, laughter and tears, and generations who loved and lost and lived there.
I have truly enjoyed working on the redemption of this home during the renovation phase and always preserving where I can to let the history shine through this gem. I want to welcome songwriters searching for a creative getaway, families and couples craving quiet and restorative time for themselves, artists needing new inspirations, and anyone wanting to escape for a few days inside inside a warm, curated and welcoming space to find a little peace and clarity from our modern and frantic everyday life! I hope you will make truly amazing memories here that will stay close to your heart...
Featuring a queen bed upstairs in the master, another queen bed in a smaller adjacent room separated by a single original historic door, and a trundle bed downstairs that accommodates 2 twin mattresses for side by side sleeping, up to 6 people can sleep here!
The original 1892 entry doors are painted a calming pink in contrast to the original black screen doors. The tiny, chic kitchen is equipped with everything one could ever need to make a great meal! From the fabulous mint green Smeg refrigerator, to the bertazzoni Italian stove, this is a cook's dream!! The bathroom features a tub deep enough to soak in, and a handheld shower kit, along with a fabulous brass console sink and faucet. The farm table seats up to 8 in the dining room clad with antique plates and mirrors. There is a stackable washer and dryer for any laundry you may need to do! Feel free to bring your furry friend, Harry Barker dog beds which are available at my general store (White's Mercantile) are in the living room for them to get their rest! 2 Gibson guitars are inside awaiting your musical skills, and the fire pit in the back with 6 chairs to accommodate is the perfect place for s'mores or star gazing.
Walk to town for live music at historic Puckett's Grocery, find incredible antiques and a handful of restaurants to keep you moving, then pray for rain to sing you to sleep on the original tin roof of this unbelievably charming home! Only 8 miles to Franklin and 26 miles to Nashville, the day trip options are absolutely endless! When you book the home we will send you my travel guide to keep you on your toes while exploring all that we have to offer down here in Tennessee! Enjoy...
