Great Thanksgiving

Cardinals Nest is Beautiful. The scenary is breathtaking. It is within 10 minutes of places to eat and shopping. Also, 40 minutes to Nashville. Great location!

A Wonderful Place

The Cardinal's Nest is a beautiful property, we enjoyed it immensely. We were in town 5 days for a wedding and the house was a perfect setting for a lot of family visiting time. Very comfortable and private, yet close to Columbia with fun dining and shopping. Our host Daleen was great about answering any questions and ensuring we had a nice stay. Really nice place, we'll be looking for an excuse to come back!

Perfect for our large family to rest and recharge

We had a wonderful time! It was a very peaceful stay. Plenty of room for everyone to enjoy each other’s company and also to separate for rest and downtime. The only complaints were there was a strong musty/moldy smell in the basement areas. Taking showers in the primary bathroom was interesting and uncomfortable with the extra shower heads that were awkwardly placed. There was no shut off for those and the water pressure was a bit much. Other than those things everything else was great! It was a very stocked & accommodating property. The owner was very thoughtful, kind and available for any questions we had.

Peaceful Spacious Family Getaway

The home was perfect for my large family to gather for a family wedding nearby. The home is well equipped for entertainment and cooking. There is plenty of space for those who need some quiet solitude or for several to gather for conversation and games. Plenty of outdoor seating and space to roam. The host quickly and kindly responded to my questions which was greatly appreciated!

Great family house!

We had a wonderful time at this lovely home. As frequent renters of vacation homes we were really impressed by all the amenities. Stocked well with paper products, baby items such as a stroller and pack and play, and plenty of towels and extra blankets. The privacy is really nice and the game room and movie room were a really nice bonus! Would highly recommend and would stay again!

Great stay for all ages!

We traveled to TN for a softball tournament and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The four 13yr olds loved the theatre room along with the game room. The 6 adults stayed very comfortably and it’s a very peaceful stay with the house being tucked away in the woods. We would definitely stay again if we make it back out that way.

Wonderful family getaway!!

Cardinal’s Nest is just “as advertised!” Beautiful property, clean home, easy check-in and out, and very comfortable accommodations. Our family loved the view, the home, the fire pit, the theater room, the game room and close proximity to plenty of restaurants, shops and trails around Columbia. Perfectly secluded and 5 mins from town. And Daleen was very responsive to any questions we had. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!! Thank you for the wonderful family getaway!!

Such a beautiful property. Seemingly isolated but very close to town. The house was perfect for our family Thanksgiving gathering considering the wide range of ages. The game room and movie theater were well used by our group and much appreciated. The house was beautifully furnished and the kitchen well stocked. Communication with the owner was EXCELLENT.

We have stayed at lots of vrbo houses and it just seemed like they thought of everything. The kids loved the movie room and popcorn machine along with exploring the property outdoors. The internet was excellent and all rooms have smart TVs. If you’re looking for a place that’s close to Nashville but you want to enjoy the peaceful sounds of the country, then this place is for just right for you too!

LOVED this house!!!

This house was everything you see in the pictures and more. It was so inviting and relaxing, it felt so much like you were at home! It was secluded in the woods that you couldn’t see other neighbors, but close enough to Columbia, TN to enjoy the small town experience. What we loved most was being around the fire pit at night roasting marshmallows and visiting with our family and friends. I hope to visit the home every year for our family vacation!!

About the host

Hosted by Daleen O'Dell

Host profile image
I am a Michigan Native but reside in Cape Coral, Florida. I am a real estate agent in SW Florida who is now wishing to travel and visit this beautiful area of Tennessee when the property is available. We spent an early family Christmas there in 2020! I hope you get as much enjoyment and find the tranquality as relaxing as I do.

Why they chose this property

As soon as I laid eyes on this home I knew it was the one! The beautiful windows, abundant wildlife, seclusion, and space to relax and enjoy your surroundings. We have regular visits from deer, so secluded but only 7 minutes to McDonalds one direction and Cracker Barrell the other. Rolling hills, historic sites, wineries, antique shops, parks & walking trails are available for your pleasure.

What makes this property unique

Near Nashville, Spring Hill and Franklin area but far enough to avoid the traffic of city life.
