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 fantastic stay at this charming cottage in Leiper’s Fork, Tennessee. The location truly couldn’t have been better, everything you’d want is just a short walk or drive away. We loved being so close to a fun speakeasy with live music, and starting each morning with an incredible breakfast at the Country Boy was a highlight of the trip.There always seemed to be something going on in the evenings, which gave the whole area a great energy without ever feeling overwhelming. One of my favorite parts was morning jogs, beautiful scenery and such a relaxing way to start the day.The cottage itself is older, but that’s part of its charm. It’s full of character and has a cozy, lived-in feel that made it easy to settle in and enjoy. Plus, being just about 25 minutes from Franklin made it convenient for anything else we wanted to explore.Overall, a wonderful stay, we’d absolutely come back again.

We celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary and our daughter’s 22nd birthday in this cozy little cottage, it was such a fun weekend being right next to everything. The spa is just next door which we all enjoyed massages! I highly recommend stopping by Patina just across the street! We all took home treasures we found! The cottage is cozy and has pretty much everything you need in the kitchen, bath, and laundry. I highly recommend staying in this beautiful historic home if you are wanting to stay close to restaurants and entertainment. Despite being so close to the action which was mainly in the daytime, the house was quiet and we all rested good! The host is also awesome and was quick to respond. Also, if you are looking to hire a private chef I recommend Tyler King at Tastify! He made us an amazing dinner in the Sweeney Cottage!

Simply lovely!

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!

Sweeney cottage

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!
