The home itself is a mesmerizing blend of midcentury nostalgia and contemporary elegance. The owners have lovingly restored many original features, preserving the decorative and functional partitions in the dining room and stairwell, the wood paneling in the bedrooms, and the funky roofline that defines the home's character.

With its giant marble island, bar seating, endless countertops, and cabinets, it's a dream come true for cooking enthusiasts.

Heading downstairs to the lower level, you'll discover a treasure trove of entertainment and relaxation. Natural light bathes the rooms thanks to the clever hillside construction. A cozy hideaway with a queen bed and TV awaits, along with a well-appointed Jack and Jill bathroom. The nostalgic rec room is a delight, complete with a ping pong table, arcade basketball game, TV, sitting area, and fireplace. Feeling like a bartender? Slip behind the bar counter and whip up some cocktails with the convenient fridge and wet bar. But the real pièce de résistance is the library and projector movie theater room, offering the perfect escape for film lovers and bookworms alike.

Are you yearning for an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life? Welcome to the Hilltop Hideaway - a secluded oasis nestled down a serene country lane in the Tennessee hills. This enchanting retreat offers the perfect opportunity to catch your breath and unwind. Whether you explore the nearby village of Leiper's Fork, venture to historic Franklin, or even make a day trip to vibrant Nashville, this three-bedroom home will tug at your heartstrings and beckon you home to this cozy respite. With the picturesque pastures surrounding the home, it's the perfect haven for anyone seeking an inspirational getaway.
We love that you step into the lap of luxury as you enter this charming cottage, and bask in the warmth of natural light that floods the living spaces. Every room has been thoughtfully furnished to create an ambiance of comfort and elegance. Amidst the beauty, awaits a baby grand piano, tempting you to unleash your inner musician and create soul-stirring melodies.
As you explore the home, you’ll love how the home marries modern luxury with a cozy, cottage feel.  The claw foot tub in the primary bedroom is a personal favorite of ours. It adds a touch of vintage elegance, and there's nothing quite like indulging in a long, relaxing soak to melt away all the stress and worries. As you explore the spacious rooms, you can't help but be drawn to the inviting outdoor area, perfect for soaking in the breathtaking surroundings. ​
Venturing into the nearby village of Leiper's Fork is a must during your stay. Just minutes away, this charming town will enchant you with its Southern charm and welcoming atmosphere. We particularly love finding some treasures at Props Antiques, checking out art at David Arms, taking visitors to the Leiper’s Fork Distillery, grabbing a cup of coffee at RedByrd and even catching a local band at Fox and Locke. You can easily spend an afternoon exploring this small, picture perfect town! For dinner, I would grab some barbeque at Fox and Locke or I would head back to Nashville and stop in Franklin to grab a bite at Gray’s on Main. If you prefer the great outdoors, the scenic trails around Leiper's Fork offer endless opportunities for exploration, leading you through lush fields, peaceful forests, and babbling creeksides. ​

3 New Years Resolutions to Be an airbnb champ

It's the beginning of a New Year, and so many of us are committing to improvement- personally AND professionally. Airbnb hosts are no different! Whether you'd like our help to fully manage and market your vacation rental, or you want to do it yourself, here are 3 quick tips to help make 2017 your most profitable year yet!:
  1. Streamline your communication!  In our experience, regardless of what amenities your home may offer, perhaps the MOST important step in being an Airbnb champ is communication. We've found that guests can be forgiving of ALMOST any shortcoming your property may present if they're given fair warning. So many hosts we've seen try to downplay the negatives of their property by NOT talking about them, but ultimately, this just makes for a disappointing experience for guests with too-high expectations. Develop a great strategy to communicate with your potential guests from message #1 all the way through AFTER your stay. Every guest we've ever hosted (and we've hosted about 40,000 guests so far) has REALLY appreciated knowing exactly what to expect at each turn of their travels. When in doubt: OVER communicate! 
  2. Ask for reviews...strategically! Reviews are KING and without them, your listing will get lost in a sea of Airbnb properties. Start asking for reviews before the guest even books their trip, and impress upon them just how impactful a good (or bad!) review can be for your business. Make sure guests feel like they have the ability to communicate NEGATIVE experiences to you DIRECTLY and PRIVATELY, so when it's time for them to post something about their experience PUBLICLY, they, at bare minimum, feel as if their concerns have been heard, and hopefully addressed. When guests know how important their feedback is to you, they'll be much more upfront and honest with you about their experience, giving you the opportunity to make things right when things go wrong, and celebrate when things go right!
  3. Update and Upgrade! Just like ANY business, your Airbnb should be evaluated at LEAST yearly, if not weekly, monthly or quarterly. Look around at decor that might be outdated, furniture that may be falling apart, area rugs that might be stains, dishes that might be cracked and commit to investing some percentage of your earnings into consistently tending to your property. Pro Tip: When you make big, impactful changes, make sure to take new pictures to upload to your listing and allow viewers to see you're an involved host. 

Hosting is half art, and half science, and we're always here and happy to help find, furnish, market or manage your Airbnb vacation rental. Whether it's full service management, or a la carte consulting, we can help make your Airbnb the best it can be!
