Return visit - So Lovely!
We had a fantastic relaxing weekend at Storybook Cottage. We last stayed here 9 years ago. Such a great space for enjoying your family, reading, relaxing outside, and enjoying quiet meals in either the quaint breakfast nook or fabulous sun porch!

Great country character and charm
The pictures don’t do the property justice. It is set in the country and detailed with simple elegance. It is absolutely a couples retreat house. The outdoor firepit ready with kindling and logs is a nice touch and the s’mores kit ready to go in the kitchen was a nice touch. My wife is interested in a return trip during fall colors to relax and read a book.

Our favorite Tennessee getaway by far!
This cottage is picture perfect! We had all of the amenities that we needed. The bed was extremely comfortable. The setting is beautiful and the location is ideal if you are wanting to be close to Leiper’s Fork. Just a couple of miles away. It is also about a mile 1/2 from the Natchez Trace Parkway. We spent every morning drinking coffee on the porch, listening to the leaves fall. This area is so beautiful in the fall! We will definitely be back!

Beautiful home
The house was perfect! It’s stunning with amazing attention to detail and in a quiet location! Great for a getaway but not the best if you’re wanting to go to/from Nashville several times. Otherwise, we loved it!
