The BirdDog Farm Cabin #1

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 60 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.

Beautiful property
My fiancé and I loved our stay at Joanne and Terry's property! It is a beautiful piece of peace out there with all the wildlife and waterways. Every night we heard turkeys outside the cabin in the early morning which was pretty neat! Incredibly dark at night which was perfect for night sky viewing. They gave grills and a counter top conduction plate. My fiancé enjoyed the goodies they left to welcome us in but as a celiac I could only look. It was big enough for the both of us and we enjoyed sitting on the little porch at night. Even met and talked to some of the next door cabin neighbors. We will definitely be coming back!

Cozy and equipped with everything you need!
We were in the area to visit family in Lafayette which is about a 20 minute drive. The cabins are located in the country which we happen to love. They were well equipped, clean, and relaxing for a restful stay. The hosts were very kind and helpful! Would definitely recommend and we will be back again next time we visit family. We did not utilize the grill or fire pit but they were available. Looking forward to this on our future stays.

Breathtaking
They are tucked away back in the woods, not close to any main highway, it was absolute bliss. You couldn't get any quieter. I walked outside to have my coffee the first morning and watched the deer in the field and even heard a turkey gobbling in the woods. The folks who own the property were fabulous. Very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend The Bird Dog Farm. You'll love it!!!!!

A little slice of heaven in beautiful Tennessee
If I am able to stay at BirdDog Farm in the future, I’ll be anticipating it so fondly. There wasn’t a moment there that I didn’t feel taken care of if I’d ask to be and knew my comfort was being thought of always. So many thoughtful touches there both big and small. If anyone reading this chooses to stay, you’re in for a treat. I wish it was just my secret though….it’s like that.

We stayed for only 4 nights and our only regret is we had to go home! Many thank yous to the owners, The Kemps, who live on the property. They were very welcoming and prepared the cabin to be most inviting. Our cabin was cozy and wonderful with a private bathroom and great hot water! The large property is safe and secluded but within 20-30 mins of stores and restaurants and/or outdoor activities like kayaking or canoeing. Although we didn't have time, the owners also advised we could hike the entire property or fish (catch & release) in their pond! We highly recommend staying here and know we'll definitely be back but for a longer visit next time!!

Family get away
The cabins were selected by a family member for a reunion. They were in a beautiful setting at the end of a hollow with hills all around. Parking is near the cabins with a short walk to the cabins. If you have any type of mobility issue then this may not be the best type of setting for you. The owners were accommodating in allowing us to park as close as we could to the cabin. There was still a small incline and 2 steps up into the cabin. The cabin was clean and stylishly decorated to make it feel unique. The outside area is well maintained. We enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the hummingbirds and wide life (deer and rabbits) near by. The Wi-Fi service was good and very useful as there is no cell service for several miles.
