Return visit - So Lovely!

We had a fantastic relaxing weekend at Storybook Cottage. We last stayed here 9 years ago. Such a great space for enjoying your family, reading, relaxing outside, and enjoying quiet meals in either the quaint breakfast nook or fabulous sun porch!

Great country character and charm

The pictures don’t do the property justice. It is set in the country and detailed with simple elegance. It is absolutely a couples retreat house. The outdoor firepit ready with kindling and logs is a nice touch and the s’mores kit ready to go in the kitchen was a nice touch. My wife is interested in a return trip during fall colors to relax and read a book.

Our favorite Tennessee getaway by far!

This cottage is picture perfect! We had all of the amenities that we needed. The bed was extremely comfortable. The setting is beautiful and the location is ideal if you are wanting to be close to Leiper’s Fork. Just a couple of miles away. It is also about a mile 1/2 from the Natchez Trace Parkway. We spent every morning drinking coffee on the porch, listening to the leaves fall. This area is so beautiful in the fall! We will definitely be back!

Beautiful home

The house was perfect! It’s stunning with amazing attention to detail and in a quiet location! Great for a getaway but not the best if you’re wanting to go to/from Nashville several times. Otherwise, we loved it!

A favorite chapter

Storybook cottage was the perfect place for us to revisit our Tennessee roots while celebrating our 35th Anniversary! The peaceful setting and close proximity to Leiper's Fork and Franklin gave us the opportunity to hear some fantastic country music and enjoy great southern foods. In our book of travels, our time at the cottage will always be a favorite chapter.

Perfect Retreat

This was the perfect place for us to retreat and do a Reiki training. It was away from all the typical distractions but close enough to Leipers Fork where we could leave Saturday night for dinner and hear some live music. Great property and outdoor spaces.

Beautiful cabin in woods!

Beautiful cabin in woods about 5 minutes outside of downtown Liepers Fork. Our family enjoyed the beauty of the forest and easy access to the local landmarks like Fox and Locke, where my husband even got to sing on stages during their open mic. Great experience all around.

Awesome cottage, great property manager

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the cottage. A friend and I took a girl's getaway and couldn't have been happier. The grounds were pristine, and everything was clean. We didn't have any issues. The property manager Matt was very accommodating and even let us check in early. We will be back for sure!

Celebrating Retirement

We took a 4 day trip to get away from stress and some relaxing time. The cottage was perfect surrounded by woods and so comfortable. We took a walk in the woods and drive to Leibers Fork, and hiked a little on the Natchez Trace. We enjoyed sitting and planning trips we want to take. Everything about it was great. Comfy bed, quiet, the added Christmas touches was so thoughtful. We enjoyed the book of past guest. Had a little issue getting hooked up to internet and owner responded quickly and problem was solved. We hope to visit again soon.
