The Big Blue House - 6000sf of Luxury in Leiper's Fork
The Big Blue House just isn't a place to stay... it's an experience.

Sitting on five beautiful acres this stunning property offers privacy, serenity, and luxury. The house can include five bedrooms; four with en-suite bathrooms, plus an optional bunk room that has four additional beds for larger parties (at an additional cost).
Enjoy blissful tranquility among nature seconds after stepping outside your front door. Wake up with a cup of coffee or tea on any one of the three porches. Wander the sweeping grounds of this property and you’ll also find a breathtaking stocked pond bordered by one hundred year old majestic pine trees. Enjoy s'mores over the crackling fire in the outdoor fire pit after a family meal seated around the long farm table on the back deck. Trust us, you are not going to want to leave!
Elegant at every turn, your gorgeous rental features all new furnishings mixed with hand picked antiques, five separate living areas, a gourmet kitchen, two patios and a huge front porch to enjoy the changing leaves in fall, or gather and relax on warm summer days.

Outside the house, hear nothing but the rustle of leaves and birdsong as you walk among its rambling grounds. Enjoy your morning coffee or your favorite drink relaxing in a rocker on the front porch, or take in the sun and country view on one of the two patios, one of which has a 12-foot farmhouse table that seats 14 – a truly scenic spot for alfresco dining.

A Place to Gather
There were 10 adults and two kids, 2 & 3yr. Every one had their own space with the exception of the 3 people in the 3rd floor bunk room. Their 1/2 bath was on the 2nd floor and they used the showers of other guest. Other places can sleep a large group but yet they don’t have a common space or dining that fits that large group. This is the first house we’ve stayed where everyone could enjoy meals together at the same time. The large dining table was a main gathering spot. It was perfect. The front porch was utilized every morning and most afternoons. There was a side deck area that could’ve accommodated us but between the rain and the bird droppings the cushions weren’t usable. We enjoyed the fire pit a couple nights and took walks around the property almost daily. The portable crib, having enough linens for everyone, a well stocked first aid kit and the washer & dryer was appreciated. We weren’t comfortable using the kitchen our last two days because of the ants. Evidently the spotty wi-fi delayed our text to the host but once she received it she responded promptly. Unfortunate for us, it was too late to be able to do anything. The ice maker didn’t work but the host kindly provided a bag of ice. A side warning - when enjoying the lush beauty of the outdoors be aware of ticks. 11 days later and we are still dealing with the 3yr olds tick bite. Obviously, the host has no control over ticks and I wouldn’t let it prevent you from enjoying the property-just be aware.

Brilliant Location, Layout and Top Scale!
Pictures never do a property justice and this home was no exception. It was so wonderfully decorated with high end furnishings, sheets, bedding, towels, etc. You can tell this home is loved and well cared for. Jamie was a delightful host and was always so quick to help and answer questions. I had a wonderful group come and stay to create art and connect, some strangers, some friends but we all left feeling spoiled and cared for. I highly recommend this property and will be back! The only, if I had to say anything I'd like better, is if there was a downstairs bedroom option for those that cannot climb stairs but with historial builds like this, I'm sure it couldn't be helped. Tons of space available to spread out and get quiet time from a group but intimate rooms where all can come together and create memories. Completely happy with this place!

This property is a dream!
I rented this property for my parents and their friends to stay at while at a wedding in Franklin. They called me as soon as they arrive to tell me how incredible the house was! I think my dad‘s exact words were “it has 5 living rooms and it looks like it’s out of a magazine!”. I’m not sure how true the first statement is, but clearly the home made an impression on him and all of the guests. They keep telling me what a wonderful stay it was. Beautiful home, perfect location, every detail thought of. So glad we found this place and can’t wait to come back soon!

2nd stay at the Big Blue House
This is one of my favorite houses I rent for hosting my creative retreats. The setting is just perfect with views out of every window (and there are many!) and so many bedrooms and bathrooms it can accomodate a large group and the 4 different living rooms works perfect for larger groups too. One of my favorite rooms is the enclosed back porch that faces the pond...such a beautiful scene and at night there are trees that are lit and it looks so pretty! The kitchen is very well stocked and the plates she uses are just beautiful...my favorite pattern. The setting is very special sitting way up high on a hill overlooking rolling hills and fencing for horses. Located half way between Franklin and Leipers Fork makes it the perfect spot for shopping and fabulous restaurants! I will be back again....I look forward to my stay every time I book!!!

Incredible Property and Experience
My family rented this property to celebrate my mother’s 60th birthday, and every single one of us were blown away by its grandeur, beauty, comfort, and surroundings. The house is wonderfully decorated and well appointed. The pictures are great, but don’t do the house justice (which is a good thing)! It’s something you just have to see for yourself.
The fishing pond is serene and beautiful, the fire pit area is built into the side of natural rock, and the views from the front porch are breathtaking.
The home is also large enough to where you can easily slip away for some “me” time without anyone disrupting you. This home is perfect for groups and families, so if you’re thinking about booking, do yourself a favor and make it happen!

Amazing property
The big blue house was everything we hoped for and more! It's a huge space with lots of room to spread out. I was there with 11 other women and we all had a bed to sleep on and had plenty of showers and toilets for everyone. Something we didn't realize going in was that it would be difficult to get rideshares/ubers since it's a pretty remote location, so I'd suggest having a rental car as back up! The host communicated with us throughout our stay when we had questions and check in/out was very easy. Leipers Fork historical district and Franklin's downtown are only 3-4 miles away and have many fun restaurants and shops.
