Fork Inn's Love Shack in the Woods, Hot Tub opt LS

Summary:
The Love Shack is an absolutely charming cottage (2.5 BR/1.5 Bath) far removed from the stress of city life but located just 6 miles from downtown Franklin. Located on a forested ridge deep in the forest. A shy country mouse might drop in for a visit. The Loveshack is a getaway for romance or serenity. Optional outside Hot tub ($50 cleaning and setup fee). Hiking trails.
NO PARTIES. THE BASE PRICE IS FOR TWO (2) PERSONS. Small additional person/night charge for the number of persons over two.

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. The first floor family room has a TV with satellite signal and DVD player. The couch there folds out to sleep two with adjacent half-bath. One must go through the master bedroom to access the full bathroom upstairs. Add additional room off the master sleeps two more.

Guest Access:
You will receive the door punch code before you arrive onsite. The Fork Inn offices are located 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.

Getting Around:
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). Up to 10 gigabytes of Satellite internet data are provided monthly. While this is enough for browsing, email and apps, streaming video will use up this allotment and you will be required to buy additional data ($30/10GB). 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.

Disappointing
Check in was non existent. Wade was to send me instructions via text and did not. But for a neighbor out walking his dog we would have never found it. Upon arrival I found an empty coffee jar and reached out to see if anyone could bring us some since going to the store was not easy. Again received no help. Per the listing there is a balcony- there is not. King size bed- again there is not. We were given old beach towels for the hot tub and 1 towel each for our 4 day 3 night stay. The numerous fluffy white towels in the pictures don’t exist. Also no washer or dryer unless they were behind a locked door. Dishwasher was filthy as was the stove top. Dirty pans were in the oven. This place needs a deep cleaning.

Was not what we thought it would be
This was our honeymoon. We started out with the love shack. The hot tub did not work for the first three days we were there, then because I guess lack of rain we had sediment from the wells coming up through the toilets and the showers. The first three days at the shack, we were plunging the toilets and the showers. They moved us to a different cabin. That cabin was a bit nicer, but we went through an hour and a half of stress with Jonathan The owner because he did not want to give us an extra night of stay for all of the inconvenience we had gone through Including the extra expenses we paid for. Finally, he did and probably because of his wife. There was a gentleman who did everything in his power to help us. his name was Wade. He is a wonderful wonderful person on that property. We also had to supply a tank of gas for the outside gas grill at the love shack that we never even got to use. And the grill in the kitchen in the new cabin was absolutely gross and dirty. Leanne was a very nice person to deal with as well. We probably will not return in the future.

Awesome Getaway
The cabin was very clean. Loved the location. Very secluded. Would have liked some sort of covering over the patio and hot tub. It rained while we were there, would have been nice to sit out there and watch the rain. Great place to stay.

Great Cabin
Great remote cabin. Quiet and relaxing. The cabin was furnished with everything we needed for a great stay. The listing was very misleading with included amenities. Listing indicates a redneck pool and I confirmed with the host there was a pool onsite. However, there is no pool (there was a Rubbermaid tub smaller than a kiddie pool or bathtub) and the amenities are not on the property. You have to partner with a local organization to get access to rent paddle boats, canoe or other amenities. Aside from misleading amenities, I enjoyed and would recommend.

Absolutely perfect getaway
Stayed here for a week and it was absolutely wonderful! The cabin is perfect and cozy and tucked into a little pocket of nature out in the woods. Not to mention its a short distance from Nashville which is an excellent city with tons to do. Staying here at the Love Shack has been one of the best vacations ive ever been able to experience, if you want a place to get away from it all and have a wondeful time, this is it.

Excellent hideaway.
The property's manager, Wade, greeted us and throughout our stay was available if we had any problems. We enjoyed a tour of his greenhouse where he grew a variety of tomatoes some of which we were invited to take home. The Love Shack was not far from the quaint town of Leipers Fork. If you want seclusion and natural beauty the Love Shack comes highly recommended.

Love Shack didn’t disappoint!
Our stay was romantic and amazing! We stayed for 5 nights so that changes logistics for a hot tub a bit. After day one it started to cloud so some pool chemicals were brought over for us to use. All other minor issues were addressed immediately! We enjoyed our stay to the point that if we are in the Nashville area again we would consider this property as an option!

A wonderful hideaway
My new wife and I needed the weekend away since our honeymoon was dismantled by Covid. This place was perfect, and paying the extra for the hot tub was exactly what we needed. My only comment on the location is that we went during a dry season, so the waterfall was lovely but nowhere near the levels in the pics. (Watch for ticks and poison ivy during the hike.)

Great private stay in the woods. The cabin is even nicer then the pictures indicate. Check in was very friendly with great options in the area recommended. I would advise tacking down the rug in the main bedroom as it does slip.

This cabin is the perfect get away for anyone. The owners are amazing and hospitable and make you feel right at home. They even gave of a tour of their organic garden and their wonderful farm life. The cabin is located in a secluded location away from everyone for a romantic get away. Only minutes away from some very posh restaurants and country stores and shopping. Love, Love, Love this place.
