Weekend Getaway: Leiper's Fork

As I mentioned on Friday, this weekend Craig and I took a day trip to Leiper’s Fork on Saturday.  I fell in love.  Leiper’s Fork is small town living at its finest.  The town reminds you what life was like before we were always on our phones.  You’re reminded that there’s something nice to kicking your feet up and taking a break from your busy schedules.  Everywhere you go, a local tells you their story and wants to know yours.

Grab a sausage biscuit and coffee at Puckett’s.  Still acting as a grocery, Puckett’s sells all of the necessities a local would need to grab and go.  They also serve lunch and dinner.  If you time it right you might just catch some of the local live music.   

Once you have fueled up you can spend the morning or afternoon walking through the local shops enjoying artwork, antiques, and other goodies.  Along the way you can find plenty of spots to take in the beautiful scenery.  You can also take a break around one of the fire pits made locally at The Copper Fox Gallery.  Most of the local businesses have one on their property surrounded by rocking chairs complete with marshmallows and stakes for roasting.  These areas invite you to take a seat and take your mind off of everything else going on in the world.  

After shopping, Craig and I stopped in at Fly South for an appetizer and cocktail before heading back into town.  The food and atmosphere were as inviting as the rest of the town.  We spent our meal talking to the owner and not talking on our phones. The day trip was just a teaser and I plan to go back. Soon.  I can’t wait to stay the night at one of Shelter and Roost’s inviting accommodations. Just 8 miles south of Franklin, TN, Leiper’s Fork would be a great spot for a girls trip, somewhere for you and your spouse, or just a place to unplug.  Get here soon folks.
