Family-friendly vacation home in Franklin

The words of a song, the lyrics, have a way of evoking emotion, inspiring us and even taking us back to a certain place or time in our lives. This is the same feeling we get when we turn onto the winding country roads that lead to Leiper's Fork and eventually to a secluded home set on 12 acres. We imagine it is these same back roads and this type of setting that inspire the lyrics for many a songwriter here in Tennessee. In fact, it was on this drive that we had the inspiration for our home's name, Lyric. Lyric is locally owned and operated by Southbound Stays.

-- Important Considerations... let's be sure Lyric is the right fit for you and your group:

Rental agreement: All guests will be asked to sign a rental agreement within 48 hours of booking (or immediately if arrival is within 48 hours of booking). If not signed, reservation will be canceled and considered a guest-initiated cancelation with applicable penalties.
* Cancelation Policy: when establishing our policy, we chose what we felt was a fair balance in shared responsibility between guests (moderate policy). Upon booking, you will be provided a link to purchase a 'cancel for any reason' trip insurance policy. We have lowered our rates to encourage our guests to purchase this policy. Therefore, we will be upholding our cancelation policy. If you are unwilling to have this risk, then we suggest waiting to book your stay until you are sure you are able to stay with us.
* Lyric is a place to escape the daily grind and while there is much to do in surrounding areas the home sits far back from even the backroads.
* Only accessible via small flights of stairs (both front & back entrances).
* It is absolutely necessary that you have a vehicle to get around. A small (or large) SUV would be encouraged however it is not necessary. The roads leading to the home are all paved however there is a GRAVEL ONLY easement that takes you back to the home.
* The nearest gas station/ market is located about a 10-15 minute drive down the hillside and the nearest grocery store is about a 20-25 min drive down the hillside.
* If you do not like nature or bugs, we suggest looking outside of Tennessee for your stay. This is the South and the home is completely surrounded by wooded area. We take every precaution to prevent critters from making their way into the home (we regularly treat the interior and exterior of the home), however it is inevitable they will make their way in on occasion. Around the property it is quite possible you will see a variety of critters, snakes, mice and other wildlife. This is especially important to consider if you are bringing children and/ or dog(s)- or anyone with a strong dislike of such things. :)
* There is no fencing around the home nor the property.
* Our rates are dynamic which means that they change based on day of week, season, etc. Please enter your exact dates and guest count to calculate pricing. We charge an extra guest fee of $25/guest/ night for any guest count over 8 (our max guest count is 12). This includes infants and children.
* Pets: We welcome POTTY TRAINED dogs with a fee of $25/ day/ dog- up to 2 dogs per stay with these conditions:

* Please let us know ahead of time if you plan to bring them
* Avoid having them on the furniture or keep furniture covered with blankets/covers brought by you
* Utilize the pet waste bags we have provided and pick up after your pets once they have done their business outdoors
* We do not allow any other types of pets, reptiles, or anything non-human with a heart beat. :)
* Our home is smart home enabled and has security & safety devices throughout. This includes the use of security cameras (EXTERIOR Only, NO interior) around the property & echo devices which are considered to be listening devices inside the home. The echo devices can be unplugged if you prefer.
