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.

Wonderful host and location! Highly recommend.
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!
We couldn't be happier with the house and location! We had no trouble with check in and communication was great.
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!
Loved our time in Leipers. This place makes you feel like a local.
Perfect property and perfect location!
It's just the most magical home. All the details are perfect. I couldn't be happier with a place - so much soulful energy and good vibes - felt so lucky to be there!
Sarah was amazing! The space is stunning and the perfect location. Everything you would need. Sarah was so responsive and helpful, will definitely be back!
Sarah is a gem!! And her cottage was the perfect one night getaway for my husband and I. We're local and just needed some time away to reset. The cottage is beautifully decorated in a fantastic location. Walkable and a short drive to Franklin. The sectional is super comfortable we were able to hang out inside and on the porch which was nice. You can walk right out the door and be in the gallery and grab a bite to eat. It's an incredibly warm and inviting space filled with unique details. My only wish is that it would have a king sized bed upstairs that might be a little bit more comfy. One note is the stairs are narrow/steep and there's no bathroom upstairs. It's an extra special Airbnb! I'd happily book again and recommend to friends!
Staying at this cozy cottage in Leiper's Fork was an absolute delight! The place is a hidden gem - beautifully kept, full of charm, and perfectly located in this quiet, artsy little town. Everything was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared for guests. Sarah was incredible - super responsive, friendly, and made sure everything was just right throughout our stay. We even had to change our dates several times and she was always warm and understanding. You can really tell they care about creating a special experience. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway with small-town charm and a place that feels like a true home away from home, this is it. We can't wait to come back!
