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 Farm 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,

Cabin in the woods but easy to get to. Beautiful area. Nice family owned. Dog friendly. BBQ grills, picnic tables, covered circle tables for meals outside. Very updated interior.
Joanne was so accomidating! The property is amazing and so peaceful. The cabins are WELL off the beaten path and are absolutely adorable. We couldn't have asked for a better host or stay!
JoAnne and her husband were AMAZING hosts! We felt like we were right at home and were very helpful with everything during our stay. Already cannot wait to come back!!
The property itself is awesome!, my husband and his grandkids enjoy fishing and we have bbq. The only complaint We have is that the way going in at out of the property is complicated we got lost. But overall it’s awesome place and we are definitely going back.
the host was amazing.. the cabins are very clean
Friendly hosts and a great private pond
Beautiful room with adequate amenities for a short stay to see family. Very much off the beaten path, and therefore very peaceful. JoAnne was a very responsive host and met us upon check in. Would definitely stay here again if ever in the area.
Sitting on the front porch, listening to the quietness and watching the wildlife pass by in the hills, was so enjoyable! Sleeping in a cozy, comfy cabin, that was so detailed with thoughtful items to make my stay very pleasurable! Waking up early to take my dog for a walk to see the sunrise and smell the sweet morning air. What a beautiful and tranquil place to stay and relax!!! Thank you BirdDog Farm!!!
The property and everything about it was stunning. Joanne was super nice. Will definitely be back and have already recommend her place to several people.
These cabins are amazing! Clean and very well appointed. Everything was so beautiful and peaceful. Can't say enough about these hidden gems.
Everything about Birddog Farms is amazing and we hope to return.
My husband and I fish, so we look for places that can accommodate a boat and sometimes a dog. We could not have had better hosts ,as they not only provided excellent accommodations, but also had food and beverages. If you need a quiet getaway,this is the place! Everything worked and it was very clean and most of all comfortable!
Peaceful
Birddog Farm is a treasure. We enjoyed the peacefulness and the beauty of the country. We walked the property often with our dogs and enjoyed it. We needed to get away and this was the perfect spot. The host always responded quickly when we had questions. The cabin had everything we needed. It was clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay with our pups.
The cutest, newly remodeled, extremely clean cabin with the sweetest, gracious, kind and accommodating host EVER! A bit out in the middle of nowhere, and totally worth it! JoAnne is as sweet as pie and so thoughtful. She goes above and beyond to ensure your stay is pleasant and comfortable. Highly recommend! ⭐️?⭐️?⭐️?⭐️?⭐️?
We have been before and it just gets better, the owner instantly make you feel welcomed and a part of the family. They are SUPER...and of course loving my FURBABY is definantly a plus - We plan on going every chance we get...Its a piece of Paradise even in the Winter...LOVE IT
The owners are very nice. We were stuck there for a day due to harsh winter weather and they prepared a delicious hot meal for all of their guests that evening. They provided us with road conditions for the next day and just made our stay very welcoming. The view along with the deer and cardinals were beautiful. It was a fantastic experience. Thank you Birddog Farm.
JoAnne was so very kind and very accommodating! The cabins and property are beautiful!
We absolutely loved our stay! So peaceful and quiet. Cabin was beautifully decorated. Plenty of room for my hubby and I and our little wiener dog. The owner is super nice and friendly. Most definitely would recommend and would visit again.
Such a great place to stay if you need to get away from life for a bit. Great experience and would recommend 10 out of 10!!
We stayed in the cabins for a family reunion in the area. The hosts warmly welcomed us and made sure we wanted for nothing. Their thoughtfulness could be seen from: the carts to move things from cars to cabins, the bug spray, chairs on the porches, the walkie-talkies, and the fishing poles. Each cabin was individually decorated with beautiful furnishings. If you are looking for a quaint place to escape then I recommend you stay here.
