Cottage in Franklin, TN

4 guests • 1 bedroom • 5 beds • 1.5 bathrooms

This is an absolutely charming cottage (2.5 BR/1.5 Bath) far removed from the stress of city life but located just 6 miles from downtown Franklin. Located on a forested ridge deep in the forest. A shy country mouse might drop in for a visit. This cottage is a getaway for romance or serenity. Optional outside Hot tub ($50 cleaning and setup fee).

NO PARTIES. THE BASE PRICE IS FOR TWO (2) PERSONS. Small additional person/night charge for the number of persons over two.

Located at the end of a mile-long drive through the woods, glampers here have absolute privacy and isolation amidst abundant nature.

The cottage is in a very safe location but can be scary to some folks who need other folks close by. Deer and turkey will visit you. A beautiful waterfall, accessible from a nearby trail runs after recent rainfalls.

The wooden interior is quaint and fits well in its surroundings. The first-floor family room has a TV with satellite signal and a DVD player. The couch there folds out to sleep two with an adjacent half-bath. One must go through the master bedroom to access the full bathroom upstairs. Add additional room off the master sleeps two more.

You will receive the door punch code before you arrive onsite. The Fork Inn offices are located at 5528 Big East Fork Rd. Registered guests of the Fork Inn may park at the Lake Gratitude Natural Area parking lot. Car passes must be visible on the windshield.

This cottage is located on a ridge adjacent to the Natchez Trace National Park. It is an isolated getaway in Leipers Fork, home to many country music stars and media personalities. The land is gorgeous and contains miles of hiking trails with access to small waterfalls, lakes, ponds, meadows, and woods. Deer, turkey, coyote, osprey, hawk, and bobcat, are numerous.

All Fork Inn guests are able to walk around Lake Gratitude, use the Lakeside Shelter, and hike the numerous trails.
