About Sandy Dorris
Living in this area for years now has been such a wonderful experience for me. I am so happy to now have LOAFER'S GLORY to share with others so they too can enjoy stepping back in time in the quaint little Village of Leiper's Fork. Down home feel, live music in the village, quaint shops , art galleries, good eating, friendly people, close to downtown square of Franklin, peaceful and quiet times sitting on front porch sipping your morning coffee, or sight seeing to Natchez Trace, downtown Nashville....wineries close by.. trail riding, you name it.
I am looking forward to sharing my little piece of heaven with others so they too may experience what rural Leiper's Fork has to offer.
Being retired now gives me more opportunity to share my cottage and village with you....LOAFER'S GLORY is waiting to give you the royal pamper experience. I am all about sharing the "glory!"

Why Sandy Dorris chose Middle
This property has everything to offer you, my guests, the best of everything. It is located in the quaint little village of Leiper's Fork which is know "world wide" as the place to visit. People come here from far and near just to experience the down home feeling of staying in a rural town yet so close to so many things to do. Everyone who visits always tell me they wanted to stay longer, they want to come back for a return stay, and yes "they want to move here." It happens over and over and I do get many return guests. So my little stone cottage, LOAFER'S GLORY, lets me share everything about this area with all who choose to stay here. My cottage has been designed and appointed with YOU in mind. Great thought has gone in to making it warm, comfortable, and inviting. It sits nestled back on the property making it very quiet and peaceful, allows you to sit on front or side porch and no one sees you enjoying your relaxing time, and is 2 minutes from all that goes on in the village ie: live music, quaint shopping, a variety of places to eat, trails to ride or hike, wineries, art galleries, sightings of many famous artists who have chosen this community to live in just because they can appreciate it's beauty and the people here who allow them their personal privacy . LOAFER'S GLORY is situated right where it needs to be for the perfect get away for my current and future guests. Wanna drive to the square of downtown Nashville then you can be there in 8 minutes, wanna drive to downtown Nashville then you can be there in 25 minutes,,,,,but guarantee you will always want to return to Loafer's Glory Cottage to just chill and relax...until time to get up and go again or just sit a spell. i look forward to sharing my gem of a cottage with you soon.
What makes this house unique
Fantastic views, cool shade from the many trees, garage parking for guest cars. Private setting nestled back from the road. Close to all that goes on in the village of Leiper's Fork.
Totally renovated and updated with everything one could wish for in their VRBO get away. It was truly designed with my guests in mind.... Come and see for yourself and you will find it is exactly as you see in the pictures.

Quintessential cottage weekend
This cottage was absolutely adorable. It was whimsically decorated, but extremely functional. The bathroom was well appointed and the living space was a nice place to gather. Since it rained all weekend, we were grateful for the extra space and driveway parking. It is definitely a little ways from Franklin, but we appreciated the style and amenities of this property so much that we didn't really mind the commute!
THE Perfect Getaway
As so many do, we live very busy, hectic lives. The chances to slow down and take a deep breath are few and far between. When deciding where to go on our next vacation without kids, we stumbled across this gem on our VRBO search--and boy are we glad we did! The house is THE perfect setup for an escape from all the craziness life brings. It is beautifully furnished and cozy. The moment you walk in the door, you immediately relax. Clean, quiet space with tons of natural light and all the amenities you could need--what more could you ask for? We ate our fill of local food at Granite City Brewery, The Tailgate Brewery (we're beer people--can you tell?), Oscar's Taco Shop, The Country Boy (best breakfast we've ever had), and Puckett's. We also visited the Leiper's Fork Distillery and had a wonderful tour/tasting with Matt "Pops" Mayo, our new favorite person! Our only complaint is that we couldn't stay longer! The owner was so understanding as, on our way out washing dishes this morning, I broke the coffee carafe for the coffee maker. I was mortified, but she was so sweet about it. We are already checking our calendars to plan our next trip. Whenever we are able to go back to this hidden paradise, it won't be soon enough!
Perfect in every way!
This cottage is just perfect! You can see the attention to detail in every room. The room design and decor reminded me of something that Joanna Gaines from HGTV might do. Very comfortable and functional. And, the bathroom shower is heavenly! The location is perfect too, close to Leiper's Fork and just a short trip in to Franklin and near the Natchez Trace. The owner really made us feel welcome, and we can't wait to go back.
Absolutely Wonderful
Absolutely loved the cottage. It was very well decorated and felt like home! The beds were so comfortable, and the shower is amazing. The property manager was quick to respond when we had a power outage due to storms! The cottage was close to Leipers and Franklin! Lots of good local places to eat and shop!! Highly recommend!!
A Little piece of heaven
Just wanting to share how fabulous our stay in this cottage was, I personally know the area very well as I am local realtor but my guest was from Germany and they did not. They had one request - country side living, peace and quite with personality. Tahhhh Dahhhh this was it !!! We booked for 4 nights and were able to extend the stay an additional ....it was so fabulous we did not want to leave. The cottage was so much more than we expected and the town Leipers Fork is simply adorable - we will do this now every year - Thank you Sandy ;-)
