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.

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.

I met a college friend to catch up and have a "reading" holiday. This place could not have been more perfect. The weather was great and it was so very quiet and peaceful. The home was lovely, much prettier than the pictures communicate. Particularly impressive was the view. The windows are almost floor to ceiling and looking out the windows, one sees layers and layers of trees with the light dancing through the branches. Makes for a very serene vibe. The was one of the best hosts I have communicated with. He responded promptly to questions. He gave excellent pre arrival instructions. We took two of his restaurant recommendations, and both were most excellent. Mid stay, my friend broke off a loose shower knob; I notified the host and his response was gracious and showed more concern for my friend than the damage. I really appreciated his kindness.Highly recommend and will likely return.

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.

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.

We loved the place. It’s quiet and remote, but close enough to Franklin, Lieper’s Fork, and Nashville. The property is beautiful, and we spent lots of time wading in the creek at the bottom of the hill. Not a soul in sight. The house is very comfortable and well-equipped with a large kitchen and everything you need for cooking. It isn’t a huge house, but it was plenty big for the four of us and you could easily fit in a couple of more if you needed to. We also really appreciated the small touches, like the variety of snacks and bottles of water and ice tea left for us. If you’re looking for a secluded place with magnificent views from both bedrooms, a very comfortable living room and a big kitchen that’s convenient to Franklin and Lieper’s Fork, we can’t think of a better choice!

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!

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!

Cottage by the creek

The cottage was incredibly clean and well-appointed, with every detail thoughtfully considered to ensure comfort. From the cozy decor to the fully stocked kitchen.One of the standout features was the beautiful creek running through the property, adding a peaceful and calming atmosphere to the entire stay. The host was exceptional—responsive, communicative, and genuinely attentive to our needs. It was clear they put a lot of effort into making sure guests felt welcome.A lovely surprise was the thoughtful addition of snacks and drinks upon our arrival. After a long car ride, it was such a welcome sight.Overall, this was an incredibly relaxing and enjoyable getaway, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat.

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.

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.

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!!

Lovely home

This is a lovely cottage and, had it not been so cold, it would have been a perfect location for our family Thanksgiving. I was disappointed to learn that what looked like a roaring fire in the photos was candles burning in the fireplace, but Nathan was kind enough to stop by with space heaters and we warmed up well enough. It was a quick drive off I-840 with a bit of a rough driveway, but the house was worth it.

Leaving the kids behind...

My wife and I just celebrated our anniversary and wanted a quiet day away from "life". The house and property were perfect! We sat outside and read with the sound of the creek in the background. Everything about the house was ideal. From the cleanliness to the layout, it was ideal.
