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. There is endless hot water, an indoor bathroom, fresh spring water from the tap, a full kitchen, but no TV. Cell phone and internet usage are limited. Some phones have a bar or two on the corner of the porch, otherwise, phones work in the hayfield, or at the end of the drive. 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.

Serene and solidtude

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

Total R and R

Daisy and Tony are the greatest host and hostess. They helped and accommodated us with a few major needs. Hummingbird Haven is true to its name. Coffee on the front porch in such a relaying atmosphere. Thank you both for sharing your cabin. Hummingbird Javen

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.

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.
