About this property

Tucked off of a secluded back-road - a perfect place for a get-away.

Hummingbird Haven is tucked off a secluded, dirt, back-road. This log cabin, build in 1952, is peaceful and quiet. Birds entertain as you have morning coffee on the screened in porch. In the evening, watch lightning bugs dance. A haven with comforts of a forgotten time, and some modern amenities - just enough to be comfortable. Internet & Wi-Fi. There is endless hot water, an indoor bathroom, fresh spring water from the tap, a full kitchen, but no TV.Hummingbird Haven invites you to disconnect and slow down for a moment. Take a break from hustle and bustle, walk back in time when life didn't move so fast. Leave feeling rested and happy about unexpected delights of your time here. Civilization isn't so distant. We are just 30 miles from downtown Nashville, 15 miles from historic Franklin, 10 miles from charming Leipers Fork, and 4 miles from the grocery in Fairview. This area, Fernvale, was once known as a much sought-after retreat. . We can promise hummingbirds. We do our best to create the experience you hope for when you take a holiday. For cyclists, we are 8 miles from the Natchez Trace. We have safe parking for your vehicle while you enjoy your ride. We hope you will come visit, time and time again.

P.S. We have a dog with a big bark. Her name is Patches and she's friendly, but could be skittish with you at first.

As always a great place for a get away . Third time here and never a disappointment. Watching the birds and listening to the rain was just what the doctor ordered. Perfect mixture of sun and rain, thunder and lightening.

My stay at this cabin was absolutely amazing. The perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle, I loved enjoying nature, the birds and having no cell service, tv or WiFi. It was a dream! I recommend staying here if you need to escape the busy world, and I will be returning!

Cabin life

The property owners were super nice and provided a very clean cabin and well stocked pantry for our stay. They provided eggs, cereals, coffee, etc at no extra cost which was a pleasant surprise. We spent hours on the screened porch drinking coffee and watching the hummingbirds and cardinals at the feeders. Unfortunately we had to do a lot of driving to attend little league baseball games near the Nashville airport but the time we spent doing nothing at the cabin was wonderful.

Excellent !!!!

We stayed in 3 properties on a college visit vacation. This cabin was by far THE BEST of all the other properties. The hosts were fabulous easy to chat with and great overall people. They had supplied us with enough food in the pantry and the very cool refrigerator that we only ate our leftovers. The farm fresh eggs were so good. Definitely stay again. Next time even longer. If you ever want to totally unwind stay here. The history behind the cabin is fascinating.

Great get-away! Amazing birds. Quiet spacious yet comfy.

Tony and Daisy are terrific hosts. They were open for a visit on their porch or suggestions for local destinations, but also gracious about our quiet space at the cabin in back. This is a fabulous spot for birders. We counted more than 40 species in the property- many viewed from the front porch at the feeders. We left a list. Also very close and easy access to the northernmost end of the Natchez Trace. There is a nice firm bed, full kitchen, gas grill, friendly outdoor dog, and very nice cabin furnishings. The original wood paneled walls and ceilings are exquisite. We were delighted also by the fresh home-made biscuits and local eggs stocked in our cabin as well as good coffee and fresh OJ. We can't wait to return. This is maybe our best ever VRBO experience.

Quiet Nights in the Valley

This is an absolutely wonderful property operated by kind and welcoming individuals! We took a break from my wife’s PhD studies to travel for a concert in Nashville, this lovely home was exactly the space we needed to unplug and unwind. The cabin is neat and cozy, with fascinating antiques and interesting pieces throughout - the care and creativity in the home decor is obvious from the moment you step in the door! The beds and furniture were all clean and very comfortable, terrific linens. It was quick drive into the city for the show, and Franklin and Leiper’s Fork offer nearby food and shops - Leiper’s Fork Distillery is a must try! We didn’t get a chance to dig into the history of the area, but obviously there is tons and Tony is so knowledgeable about local stops! Thr hosts have a true open door policy and we’re available for any questions we had or just a nice chat! The space was awesome for our anxious dogs, the seclusion of the property allowing them comfort and freedom when we went into town. We all loved watching the birds buzz around the screened in porch and the stars on a clear night are magnificent. We will definitely be returning in the future! Couldn’t recommend this stay enough for anyone looking to step away from the business of life for a bit. Thank you Tony and Daisy and Patches!

I booked at the last minute and asked if I could come on a night that I could not pick due to last minute. I left a note for property owner and he replied that I could show up because cabin was available. They also called me the night before check out and said I could take my time when leaving. The cabin was clean and well maintained. They supplied linens and even coffee and had a few things for cooking. Spices very nice owners and wanted to make sure your stay went well

Such a perfect place to stay! Quite, comfortable, and beautiful. Tony and Daisy have the perfect place in the perfect location to enjoy the fun of the surrounding areas and get to relax and unwind afterward. The cabins porch was a delightful place to bird watch and sip a cup of coffee. With all the thoughtfulness that make a place feel like home this property made our trip to TN a wonderful experience.

Wonderful Extended Weekend Getaway

We stayed at Hummingbird Haven for an extended weekend getaway. Wonderful, peaceful and relaxing. Lovely little cabin escape from technology, but close enough to reconnect and enjoy the close areas of Leipers Fork, Franklin, and Nashville. We would highly recommend and would come back.

Tony and Daisy are wonderful hosts. The cabin is very clean, and much attention to detail has been made. We lived watching the antics of the hummingbirds, squirrels and other critters. When we return to Nashville, we will definitely try to stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Daisy Jabas or Tony Vincent

Host profile image
We have had a lot of our own travel experiences. Our goal is to make a restful renewing getaway for all that gift us with a visit. Daisy is a retired nurse, mental health advocate, likes to garden and quilt. She's a bit of a mischief maker, known as 'the straw that stirs the drink" of our Fernvale community. Last year she hiked 90 miles on the Appalachian Trail and is planning to do more this year. Tony, has a great sense of humor. He is a retired systems analyst/programmer, Montessori teacher, song writer/folk singer, bottle washer, supervisor and cohort.

Why they chose this property

Not fancy, clean and safe. Old fashioned, allows for a time to reconnect, to family, friends, yourself, and the quiet joy of life. A low stress community, where neighbors are friends. Limited internet and phone service does make it easier to disconnect. (There may be a little reception on a corner of the porch. There is good reception at the end of the drive).

What makes this property unique

An entire log cabin to yourself, with only birds to wake you. The cat probably will ignore you. We are friendly. The Innkeepers that are ever so happy to make sure you have what you need, as well as to sit on the porch and talk.
