About this property

Tin Roof Cottage: Timeless Retreat in Leiper's Fork

Found on a corner acre lot in the heart of Leiper’s Fork, Tin Roof Cottage is a storybook retreat with a striking red tin roof, charming wraparound porch, and spacious comfort inside. Enjoy your morning coffee on the porch swing, then stroll just three minutes into the village to explore the art galleries, antique shops, boutiques and live music. In the evenings, unwind by the fire pit beneath the stars. Whether you’re seeking inspiration or relaxation, Tin Roof Cottage is the perfect escape.

Nestled just a stone's throw from Leiper’s Fork Village, this Victorian gem invites you to unwind, reconnect, and soak in the magic of Tennessee’s most charming small town. Once a beloved local farmhouse, the 1,700-square-foot home has been thoughtfully restored to retain the welcoming charm of its history - featuring stunning stained-glass windows and filled with antiques and gorgeous decor.

The spacious, open living and dining areas offer plenty of room for gathering, while the updated kitchen provides all the modern comforts needed to prepare a meal to enjoy at the antique French dining table. The primary bedroom, located on the main floor, features a king-sized bed and en suite bathroom for ultimate comfort. Upstairs, you'll find a cozy loft with two single beds tucked away beneath the roof pitches, offering a sense of privacy, along with a private bedroom with a queen bed and an additional bathroom.

Whether you’re curled up with a book in the sunlit sitting room, savoring a home-cooked meal, or watching the sunset from the rocking chairs on the wraparound porch, every moment here feels like a step into a simpler way of life where time moves just a little more slowly.

Just a short walk from the village’s boutique shops, galleries, antique treasures, farm-to-table dining, and renowned live music, Tin Roof Cottage offers the perfect balance of peaceful privacy and easy access to Leiper’s Fork’s vibrant creative community. Plus, with historic downtown Franklin only 8 miles away, you’ll have even more boutique shopping, acclaimed restaurants, and scenic countryside to explore.

What You’ll Love:
- Walk to Everything: Just a 3-minute walk to local boutiques, antique shops, art galleries, charming eateries and live music.
- Historic Meets Modern: A beautifully restored Victorian cottage with a fully equipped kitchen, cozy living spaces, and plush bedding.
- Outdoor Relaxation: A private yard and charming wraparound porch, perfect for sipping coffee or a glass of wine under the Tennessee sky. After a day of exploring, gather around the fire pit in the evening for some warmth and stargazing.
- The Spirit of Leiper’s Fork: Experience the town’s rich musical and artistic heritage—the same energy that has drawn and inspired songwriters and creatives for generations.

What Guests Are Saying:
- “Absolutely magical. The perfect mix of historic charm and modern comfort!”

Back to a simpler time

We enjoyed our stay in the Tin Roof Cottage on Sycamore Street. The location was perfect for our needs. The property was well kept and spacious. Everything about this place speaks to a time when things were simpler. Every room told a story of the areas past and we were amazed. Truly a beautiful gem of Leipers Fork.

Charming Retreat: A Delightful Stay at Tin Roof Cottage

The Tin Roof Cottage in Leiper's Fork Village exudes charm with its delightful style and exceptional comfort. During our four-night stay, my friends and I found it to be the perfect setting for catching up and immersing ourselves in the beauty of the area. Sarah, the property manager, impressed us with her efficiency, accuracy, and pleasant demeanor in all communications. The cottage is well-equipped with kitchen supplies and general provisions, making our stay hassle-free and enjoyable. Its proximity to the town allowed us to easily walk to restaurants and shops, while Franklin, just a 15-minute drive away, offered even more options for shopping and dining. The bedrooms were cozy, comfortable, and elegantly furnished, contributing to a restful atmosphere. We particularly adored the kitchen, with its charming red appliances and stained glass windows adding character to the space. Overall, our experience at the Tin Roof Cottage was delightful, and I would not hesitate to book it again in the future.
