Cottage by the creek on 17 acres minutes from Leipers Fork! Writer’s Paradise…

Discover Foreverwater, our cottage by the creek, nestled on 17 wooded acres along side Barren Fork Creek minutes from Leipers Fork Village with direct access to the historic dirt path back roads of eastern Hickman County, Lyles TN. This writer's retreat was once home to guitar maker and author, R. O. Barton (The Tucker Novels).

Leverage this fully furnished home as your seasonal escape to the country, your home between homes, or as your rural office complete with high speed broadband internet. Two large bedrooms, each with their own large cedar closets and full baths, flow into an open plan common area with a large stone fireplace, spacious living room, and a modern eat-in country kitchen. Natural woods and stone abound within this berm house inspired by the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright. This private setting offers easy access to I-840; is central to Franklin, Fairview, Dickson; and sits just 45 minutes west of Nashville.

So unwind, write your next blog or book, explore the back roads of rural Tennessee, and sleep easy next to the calming sound of a babbling brook. Foreverwater awaits.

Really can’t say enough about this place. Super tranquil setting only 40 minutes from Franklin. The place is super clean, well furnished, appears to have a recently updated kitchen and the kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The setting just above the creek is really great. You can hear the water from the patio. Despite the remote setting a DG Market is less than 10 minutes away with anything you might need.

I just spent a very relaxing weekend at this cottage by the creek. It was so nice just to sit in one of the Adirondack chairs while reading a book and listen to the creek streaming down below. The house and grounds were immaculate. The house was clean, well stocked and even had a bowl full of snacks on arrival! The host sent great instructions for the stay and even recommendations of nearby restaurants. I would definitely stay again!
