8 Fall Trips Around Nashville For A Weekend Getaway

If you’re looking for an easy day trip, head southwest of the city about 40 minutes to explore Leiper’s Fork. This unincorporated village is known throughout Williamson County for its boutiques, art galleries, antique shops, and restaurants, all packed into a tiny, walkable strip of Old Hillsboro Road. Book a massage or a facial at The Spa at Leiper’s Fork, an oasis within a historic home, to get in Zen mode. Then, grab a Campfire latte at The RedByrd (a coffee shop in a tiny house) and pop into Leiper’s Fork Market, the most upscale gas station around, with a chandelier above a community table and local treats like boiled peanuts. For a perfect fall afternoon, take a short ride to Leiper’s Fork Distillery to tour the facilities and taste local spirits. If you want to make a weekend of it, the colorful Pot N Kettle Cottages are right downtown and ooze Southern charm—and its latest offering, the Deal Cottage, is nestled in nature and perfect for larger groups.
