History Meets Luxury - Dreamy Sweeney Cottage
Found in the heart of Leiper’s Fork Village, Sweeney Cottage is a beautifully restored 1892 home that invites you to experience the charm of Tennessee’s most vibrant creative community. With its unique history and stylish updates, this cottage is the perfect base for artists, musicians, couples, and friends looking to immerse themselves in the village’s artistic energy. Enjoy local shops, live music, and nearby dining, or simply relax and take in the village vibe from the porch or fire pit.
Built in 1892 for the Carl Sweeney family, Sweeney Cottage is filled with the echoes of those who have lived, loved, and left their mark here over the years. The home was thoughtfully renovated with a focus on preserving its legacy, while incorporating modern conveniences. This charming 2-bed, 1-bath gem, with its rich history and timeless character, is perfect for up to four guests. The primary bedroom features a queen bed, while a second queen bed is tucked away in a lofted space at the top of the stairs, separated from the primary bedroom by a beautifully preserved original door.
The chic kitchen, equipped with a mint-green Smeg refrigerator and a Bertazzoni Italian stove, is perfect for preparing home-cooked meals. The antique farm table in the dining room is surrounded by vintage décor that tells a story of its own. The bathroom boasts a deep soaking tub and a handheld shower, as well as a stunning brass console sink. The original 1892 entry doors are painted a calming pink in contrast to the original black screen doors.
Relax in the sunlit sitting areas, strum on two Gibson guitars while studying the historic photo wall in the music room, or take in the view from the porch, where you can people-watch and enjoy the charming village atmosphere. The backyard fire pit is ideal for stargazing or gathering around for s’mores after a day of exploring. Whether you’re here for inspiration, relaxation, or connection, Sweeney Cottage offers a welcoming space for it all.
What You’ll Love: - Walk to Everything: Located in the vibrant center of Leiper’s Fork, Sweeney Cottage is just steps away from the village’s boutique shops, live music venues, and farm-to-table dining. - Historic Charm, Modern Comfort: A lovingly restored 1892 home with antique décor, modern amenities, and an inviting atmosphere. - Creative Space: Two Gibson guitars await your musical touch, and the peaceful vibe makes it the perfect spot for artists and songwriters. - Outdoor Relaxation: Unwind in the private backyard around the fire pit, or relax on the front porch swing and rocking chairs, watching the village life go by and watching passersby.
What Guests Are Saying: - "The ideal getaway—so much character, comfort, and the best location for exploring the village.” - "Floor to ceiling, the cottage’s ethereal and romantic interior welcomes visitors from all over with warm hospitality.

we had the best time in the dreamiest sweeney cottage! location is perfect, we had fun at the winery & dinner at fox and locke. the house was beyond cozy and full of charm and history. can't wait to come back again!
This house is nestled in the perfect spot in location in Leiper’s Fork. The property manager went above and beyond to make our stay extra special. We will definitely be back!
Absolutely perfect for our short overnight in Leipers Fork. Very clean, plenty of parking. 2 minute casual walk to Fox & Locke. We will definitely be back!!!
This cottage was so charming! We simply don't have words to describe this beautiful area in the country with its friendly people and cool laid back vibe! Everyone walking by the beautiful porch, complete with a swing, stopped to chat! The inside of the home was beautifully done marrying history with a touch of modern. The bedrooms all completed in charming beadboard were so inviting and so comfortable. The bathroom (only one in the house) was completely remodeled and so charming. The house was made more perfect by a fire pit out back perfect for conversation and laughter after an evening at the Fox and Locke. Totally cannot wait to return to this magical place!
We absolutely love Leiper’s Fork and could have stayed in this cottage for weeks. It has everything you need and is so relaxing, clean & quaint. I’ve stayed here multiple times with my family and was lucky to bring a few of my best friends along this time around. We had the best experience!
Leiper's Fork is a charming small town with lots of personality and things to do. I wish we had the opportunity to stay longer but we were just passing through overnight. The house was very clean, everything was in order, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Charming cottage!
We really enjoyed our stay at Sweeney Cottage in Leiper’s Fork. Cottage was well appointed and convenient to Franklin and Nashville. Puckett’s Grocery is a must do on your visit. Great live music and southern comfort food in a historic intimate venue.
What a lovely getaway! Drove in for a mid-week concert in Nashville and lucked out finding this most precious property, for a couple extra days, just a short drive south. It is as picture perfect as the listing shows, literally steps away from all that Leiper’s Fork has to offer and just a short drive to Franklin and its beautiful downtown. The home is so quaint and beautifully decorated, comfy beds, all the amenities… every door and step and window telling the remarkable story of its history. My favorite part was getting to listen to my son play one of the Gibson guitars while I sat on the porch swing in the evening! Would definitely recommend and visit again!
