The Space:
The Love Shack is an absolutely charming cottage (2BR/ 1.5 Bath) far removed from the stress of city life but located 6 miles from downtown Franklin. An isolated getaway for songwriters, novelists, a romantic couple, or the recently disconnected to mend a broken heart.

Located at the end of a mile long drive through the woods, Love Shack gives absolute privacy and isolation amidst abundant nature.

The Love Shack 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. Internet and data service is through very fast fiber-optic cable . The couch in the first floor living room folds out to sleep two with adjacent half-bath. A second bedroom on the second floor has a queen bed. Folks sleeping there must go through the master bedroom to access the full bathroom on that floor as well as to go down to the first floor. If folks wish to sleep downstairs they have direct access to a half bathroom on the first floor. Data is very fast fiber-optic wifi.

Guest Access:
You will receive the door punch code before you arrive on-site. The Fork Inn offices are located nearby 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 windshield.

The Neighborhood:
This cottage located on a ridge adjacent to the Nachez Trace National Park. It is an isolated getaway in Leipers Fork, home of 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, and use the Lakeside Shelter, and hike the numerous trails.
The Center for Sustainable Stewardship (membership required) is located in the nearby valley and offers a host of trails and outdoor experiences.

Uber operates here. But a personal car is highly recommended.

Other Things to Note:
The price quoted is for Lodging only. If you are having an EVENT (people invited who are not Lodging) you must send a message to receive permission and pricing). Data is very fast fiber-optic wifi. Love Shack is at the end of a winding mile long driveway through the forest.

Interaction with Guests:
Absolute privacy and isolation amidst abundant nature is the main charm of the Love Shack. But if you're looking for new friends or fellowship, c'mon down to the nearby Big East Fork Retreat. Don't be a stranger, y'hear.
Unless you want to be.
