About this property
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.

We had a wonderful stay. The home was beautiful and the location was perfect. Sarah was the perfect host and responded quickly to few questions. The spa next door was also wonderful. We are already planning our next stay.
Our stay in Leipers Fork was magical starting with this lovely home. This house was stunning with beautiful finishes and everything we needed. The cozy beds, books, and history all around us, provided an atmosphere that wanted for nothing. We had such an amazing time and will definitely be back.
Absolutely loved staying here. The place was perfect for my wife and me and our weekend getaway to the Franklin area. Very convenient to everything locally. We will definitely stay again…hopefully even longer next time!

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!
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!
