The Rock House is a perfect place to relax and unwind. It is close to amenities, attractions, and the interstate, but feels secluded and private. Come here to rest, play, and soak in the views with your family and friends and find peace, healing, and restoration.
The Rock House is setup to host your family, small group retreat, or crew weekend of mountain biking, hiking, or trail running.
Located 10 minutes from the Trenton, Georgia exit on I-59, and less than 2 miles from the entrance to Cloudland Canyon State Park, the Rock House is set on the western brow of Lookout Mountain, with a perfect sunset view across the valley.
The house is spacious, with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and 3 loft spaces with beds. There are 10 beds, including 1 king, 3 queens, and 6 twins. Relaxing indoor spaces include the large living room, cozy lofts, and a library off of the kitchen with many specially selected books, board games, and card games. There are multiple levels of deck overlooking the views, with furniture for relaxing, outdoor dining, and entertaining.
Across the street, the sun rises over a beautiful farm and a quiet lake, and the flat road is perfect for a morning or evening walk, often with the company of horses, cows, bunnies, and wild turkeys. (Farm and Lake are private and not part of this property.)
After watching the sunset, the stars come out over the twinkling city lights of Trenton, and a Victorian lamp post lights the deck for nighttime activity. Indoors, watch a movie on the 86” TV, or plug your gaming system or presentation laptop into the HDMI wall outlet.
Many miles of hiking, running, and mountain bike trails are available minutes away, including at the main Cloudland Canyon Overlook Trailhead, the West Rim Trailhead, the Backcountry/Cloudland Connector Trailhead, the Ascalon Trailhead, 5 Points Trailhead, Nickajack Trailhead, and many more. The house has a shed for secure, covered bike storage, with a rack, pump, tools, and work stand. A hose is provided out front to wash your bike.
Additional Details:
The location is less than 2 miles from Cloudland Canyon State Park, 18 miles from Covenant College, 27 miles to downtown Chattanooga, and 9 miles to Lookout Mountain Flight Park.
Outside, Adirondack chairs, an outdoor dining table, and a cliffside bar table with four chairs offer the ability to enjoy the large deck, which has incredible views of three states, with the clouds and sky keeping you mesmerized while they shift continuously from fog to clear to cloudy skies.
The living room and dining room face the cliffside view as well, with large windows and plenty of seating. The fireplace is not available for use for fires, but does house a candelabra that you’re welcome to light for ambiance.
The library houses 400+ books, curated to be the best of the best from many different genres. As an amenity, each book has a sticker in the front cover offering purchase of it for a small replacement fee, so you never have to be afraid to start a book that you won't have time to finish.
The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, and utensils, and includes a table with a view of the farm and lake across the street. There's a Keurig and regular pot coffee-maker available.
Each of the bedrooms has a theme based on the owner's favorite places to travel, and decorated with their professional photos of those places.
The Maine Room is the Master Bedroom. It houses a king bed, a desk, and two barrel chairs facing the view. Please note that there is a sliding door in this room, and it is directly facing the cliffside with no fences, so use caution. The Maine Room has a large ensuite bathroom with a shower, and a walk-in closet off of the bathroom that is large enough for a pack and play, if you're traveling with a baby.
The Jekyll Room also faces the view. It has a queen bed with storage drawers, a chair and ottoman, and a wardrobe for your clothes (no closet.) Right outside the door of Jekyll is a bathroom with a tub and shower. Though Jekyll has a sliding door that is great for the view, it is not to be utilized to go outdoors.
The Montana Room has a queen bed on the ground level, and a twin bed in the Magical Loft overhead. The Magical Loft is the perfect place to curl up with a fantasy novel, letting the ceiling of stars immerse you into your story. The Montana Room has a closet, a storage ottoman, a storage bed, and two chairs.
The Saguaro Room has a queen bed on the ground level, and a twin-sized bed in the Desert Loft overhead. The Desert Loft has a window facing the street and is another great place to read, nap, or sleep. The Saguaro room has a closet, a storage ottoman, and two chairs.
The third loft is open to the living room and has two twin-sized trundle beds, for a total of 4 twin beds. The view is fantastic and the space is set apart, making it a perfect place for kids and teens to hang out, with their own couch, bean bag chairs, and a game table made from a safe.
Safety and Mobility: Aside from the staircases going into the three lofts, there are multiple sets of 2-3 stairs (without handrails) throughout the house, so be aware of that for mobility needs. There are also multiple places where the house property has direct drop-offs. The views are incredible, but please use care, especially with young children.
