BirdDog Farm Cabin #3

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.
With Our Warm Regards,
The Kemp Family

Bird Dog Farm is by far one of the coolest rental experiences I have ever booked. My wife and I were looking to get away from the city and escape everyone. The pond is plenty stocked and there was never a dull moment catching bass and brim. If you’re not into the pond fishing vibe then there are tons of hot fishing spots in the area as well. The cabins themselves are decorated beautifully and are stocked with anything you could think of. There is a fire pit set up to gather and socialize in the back. Plenty of chairs to go around. Ms. JoAnne and Mr. Terry are the best hosts anyone could ask for. They just love to host and meet their renters. I could talk to them forever. There is not a single negative thing I could say about these cabins and its location. We will definitely be returning.

Incredible Experience

Jo Anne and her husband was especially inviting and courtesy. Communication was top notch and she met us several miles outside of the farm to chaperone us through some tricky roadways. We felt at home. Southern hospitality is real. Thank you!

Absolutely Amazing

Tucked back in the hills of Tennessee it’s the perfect getaway! Away from the hustle and bustle of the city. A beautiful little cabin with everything you need for a nice little vacation! Reminded us of where we grew up in West Virginia. The mountains all around on a country road! Our host JoAnne was very welcoming and had a packet for us with all the local eateries and places to go and see! She even had a little bowl of fresh strawberries in the mini fridge for us to enjoy! Would definitely recommend her for a host and the cabin for a nice getaway!

Piece of Paradise

I came into town to visit my grandmother and Cabin 3 was the perfect place! It was just me so there was plenty of room, though I'm sure having my partner with me would have been fine too. The cabin was well-appointed with all that one needs to relax in the peace and quiet! I would absolutely stay here again!

Relaxing and Enjoyable

Everything was perfect and it felt just like home. I've always stayed in hotels for years when traveling to Kentucky to visit my now 5 year old grandson. He now lives in Tennessee and I found this hidden gem! This place reminds me of my childhood and visiting my grandparents farm. I will never stay in a hotel again if the Kemp's have availability. I had no idea what I have been missing.

She makes herself available and goes above and beyond to make your visit perfect. The cabin exceeded my expectations. It had all the amenities of home, it was exceptionally clean, the bed was very comfortable and the cabin was decorated so lovely. Bonus: the hot water and shower pressure were excellent. Thank you JoAnne for sharing your dream with us. I've never felt this comfortable and slept so well on any other trip I've taken.

A slice of paradise!

From the moment we passed the Bird Dog Barn we new we we in for a special time and it did not disappoint! The cabins were clean and afforded us the ability to “cook” (microwave) the fixins for our smoked (on the grill) turkey! Joann surprised us with potatoes, dressing, and gravy to complete our turkey feast! The property is tucked at the head of a Tn hollow and deer, wild turkeys, and horses all complete the pristine scenery. We were all overdue for some uninterrupted sleep and the quiet of the area was perfect for getting some zzzz’s. The only missing piece is lack of a fire pit for the chilly evenings but they are working on it and our hope is our next visit it will be in place. If you are looking for a quiet, clean, ‘glamping’ experience- this is it! Thank you JoAnn and Brandon (another guest) for your hospitality, kindness, for sharing this piece of paradise!
