The BirdDog Farm Cabin #5

The Birddog Farm
Welcome to the Birddog Farm. The farm is our dream and we are proof that it is never too late in life to act on a big, shake you out of your comfort zone, dream. The name Birddog was our pet name for our beloved Black Lab Mix, Birdie. She was given a golfing name as she was rescued by the golf maintenance man from our local golf course. There were two beautiful sisters approximately 12 weeks old being dumped in a shopping mall parking lot.
I tell you this as Birdie was our first dog we adopted as a family. She was there for it all. She grew in to be the matriarch and welcomed all that came into the house, human as well as animal. She sized everyone up, checked everyone out as the protector she was. Every wayward stray she took under her wing and in her old age when you thought she could handle no more, she always seemed to garner the strength to nurture one more, though maybe with slightly less patience. Her love for all of us was so unconditional words could never describe.
For her incredible life we named our Farm and commit to take all that come to enjoy the gifts that nature has to offer under our wings. This beautiful Hollow of 59+ acres is The BirdDog Farm. We have lived here since March of 2018 and hope we can remain, God willing, till it is our time to leave this earth or he makes other plans for us. Our family has always made room in our home for as many as wanted or needed to come and we have been blessed by each and everyone….even those last minute unexpected arrivals.
We have 5 Newly finished Country Cabins on the property each with private on-suite bathrooms and rocking chair front porches. You can rent 1, 2, etc. or all 5. The 5th cabin is our largest cabin and can be used as a dual purpose gathering room with a small kitchenette as well as sleeping accommodations. WHEN BOOKING MORE THAN 1 CABIN, THEY WILL NEED TO EACH BE BOOKED SEPARATELY. Each room is outfitted with a Queen Size Bed with Memory Soft Mattresses, high quality linens, Wi-Fi, Flat Screened TV's, Coffee/Beverage Bars, Toasters, Kitchen Supplies (Stoneware, Utensils, Glassware), Mini Frig/Freezer, Microwaves, Irons, Hairdryers, USB Charging Ports, 1 set of walkie talkies, binoculars for viewing the abundance of wildlife, smoke detectors, and dry chemical fire extinguishers. Property has a 1 acre lake that is fully stocked with large mouth bass, catfish, and Blue Gill. We have plenty of fishing poles to share. Walkies Talkies can be used to contact the main house or each other as you set out to hike the property, walk down to the neighboring Alpaca Farm, or simply for fun. Outdoor Grills and picnic tables are provided for cooking and eating. Property has a firepit for those chilly evenings or roasting marshmallows ***weather permitting******. We also have corn hole boards, plenty of board games for evening fun, and of course plenty of jars for catching fire flies. Cabins are also stocked with bug repellent, anti itch gel, and first aid kits. Since we are out in the country, the owner provides a selection of complimentary snacks/fruit and additional snacks and drinks that can be purchased on the honor system in each room. If you would like for your cabin to be stocked with specific types of snacks/meals/beverages, just let us know ahead of your arrival and we will have those here for you at a reasonable fee.

We are located about 50 minutes from Nashville and 15 minutes from Cordell Hull Reservoir/Defeated Creek Marina. Fisherman's paradise for Lg & Small Mouth Bass. The farm has room for the boats/trailers and a place for you to plug into. Each cabin will also have a marina pass to get you into the swimming area and boat ramp. There are many other things to do locally and still close enough to Nashville to take in the sights and sounds of music city. Each room has a list of attractions, recommended local eateries, watering holes, etc. If you need help planning a day trip just let us know in advance and we'll help you out.

We welcome you as one of our many blessings and invite you to enjoy our home and the beauty of the nature that surrounds it. We hope to share many of our crazy family stories and the opportunity to listen to yours as well. We hope you will enjoy your stay here at the BirdDog Farm and we welcome you back as often as you would like to come.
With Our Warm Regards,

Our cozy cabin was very comfortable, quiet, and well equipped. Very clean. And the surrounding property was just beautiful. Nicely maintained too. It was so peaceful we would have liked to stay longer. We saw deer every day. JoAnne & Terry were super nice. Terry met us at the turnoff into the farm to make sure we found our way, as the road can be a little confusing. JoAnne was quick to respond to messages, though we really never needed anything. We look forward to our next stay there.

If you are looking for the perfect getaway to unwind, this is it! This rural setting is a step away from the hustle and bustle of life! The cabin was comfortable and had everything we needed. You can porch sit in peace and quiet all while taking in the beautiful views. We saw rabbits, groundhogs, turkeys and more deer than we could count during our stay.

Amazing Place For Girls Weekend

We stayed in cabin #5 that was spacious and beautifully furnished. The cabin was clean, orderly and overall comfortable like home. The hosts were friendly, accommodating and helpful with activities we could plan. The location is far back in a hollow nestled with beautiful forest greenery and fields. It’s very peaceful. The nights are dark and quiet which offered a change from city life. We will be back!

PERFECT Escape

Nashville locals. Took a weekend trip out here and could NOT have had a better experience! The property owners went above and beyond to ensure our stay was incredible. It’s a great place for those looking to escape the city for the weekend. Internet in the cabins is blazing fast so you can stay connected when you’re not out exploring. There’s a great fire pit, land to explore and views that are amazing!! If you’re looking for a place to unplug, not be bothered and really slow life down this is the spot!! 10/10 no question!!

Beautiful Tennessee Christmas

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this little cabin in the hills of Tennessee. Cabin was secluded and a perfect place to relax as we visited family in the area. Host was welcoming and extremely helpful in navigating the area. She even ordered up a White Christmas for our visit. We would certainly stay here again on future trips to the area.

Great weekend getaway.

We had a fantastic long weekend. The farm is very much away from the rest of the world but still within a short drive to some great food as well as some beautiful sights. We visited the alpaca farm just around the corner as well as a local waterfall and of course Cordell Hull reservoir. The best part is the beauty of the hills and the quiet relaxation they offer. The cabin (#5) was great and nicely done. No cell service (also great, heh) but fiber internet in the cabin. JoAnne and Terry are fantastic hosts. Can fully recommend a stay and will most likely be a repeat customer.
