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.

Our New Favorite Place!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean, and it offers a ton of amenities. The best part is the seclusion, and the creek running behind the house is a close second! We are already planning a trip back!

Short and sweet stay

Very clean and cozy. Our family only got to stay one night but we enjoyed our short sweet stay. It overlooks a creek and is so peaceful. It was clean and tidy and the sweet treats were so nice.

Absolutely beautiful and peaceful. I loved my stay here. The house was comfortable and the setting was very private and isolated. Keep in mind that this place is out of the way so you will end up driving at least 20 to 30 minutes to get to Franklin and Lieper’s Fork and 50 to 60 minutes to Nashville. But if you want quiet and peacefulness, this is certainly the place. I loved to sit outside and listen to the creek and watch the birds.

A little slice of heaven

Stayed here for a few days to celebrate my birthday. We were lucky enough to have some beautiful weather so we could sit outside and enough the peace and tranquility of the surroundings. The cottage was well appointed with everything you needed for cooking and bed linen was of high quality. Close to Leipers Fork which is worth a visit. We'd stay here again if we're ever in the area.

Quick Weekend Getaway

What a treasure! Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. Even though we were only there one night, the appointments and amenities made it feel like home, but a step up. More than enough of anything we could need, and a quality that was truly inviting. The descent to the creek was steeper than we expected, but was still enjoyed by all. We are already looking forward to returning in the future for a longer stay!

Beautiful, Rustic, and Secluded

The cottage was just as described online and shown in pictures. All appliances were modern like new. The furnishings and beds were comfortable and our stay was just what we were looking for. The property is at the end of a long driveway and is nestled deep in the woods with a creek running through it. Wear shoes with good traction to walk down to the creek as the descent is steep. You have a true sense of privacy.

Unique, Hidden Hideaway

This is a great place to enjoy some “unplugged” time. Rural setting is breathtaking! The sound of the rolling creek is relaxing. The quiet atmosphere is a much needed break. If you just want some R&R, I recommend. We already want to come back!!

Weekend Getaway

The place was really nice. It’s a bit remote, which is why I gave the location 3.stars. But it was just what I was looking for. The master bathroom was huge, and really nice. it even had a urinal, which I really appreciated. The creek was nice too. It was just what I was looking for.

Great stay with amazing views!

My family and I were impressed as soon as we pulled up to the gate. This property is beautiful and well maintained. The creek flowing through the yard was fun to play in and the house was quite accommodating. We plan to make this our place to stay whenever we are in the area.
