We had such a wonderful experience here as a family of 3 and will definitely be back. The amenities are perfect and location is quiet, yet close to the local attractions. Our kiddo loved the loft and hot tub. Be back soon!

What a pleasure it was to host you! Thank you for the glowing 5-star review! We're delighted that you had a wonderful experience at our property. Your feedback means the world to us, and we can't wait to have the opportunity to welcome you back for another exceptional stay!
Most of our planned activities this time were for the Point Park area and this location is perfect for that. It is also a very short trip into Chattanooga. Cabin was very clean. All the appliances worked and had dishes and such for our stay. We would book here again.
Thank you for the glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay at our Timberroot Rustic Retreats property. We appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back soon!
This place is amazing!! My husband and I enjoyed a weekend get away for our anniversary. It’s small, but you never feel enclosed. It’s beautiful landscape and the convenience to literally everything. We can’t wait to come back!
We had a great stay at Stefan, the cabin had everything we needed and more. The proximity to attractions was convenient. There was a close by train that was loud, but after a few times you don't even notice it anymore. Highly recommended, we will be back!
I am in love with this property! It was beautiful, relaxing (even with a 2 year old and 6 month old in tow) everything you need plus some. I wasn’t bothered at all by the trains, peaceful quiet and outstanding response and service from the staff! We will be back!

A stay in the woods
A great back to nature experience within 5 minutes of a Publix! The hot tub was great. Comfortable bed with a well equipped kitchen allowing us to self cater. The check in procedure was a bit off - we had to ring the contact number for the entry code to our cabin but this was speedily resolved. We would return.

We loved this place and will be back! We were sad that this unit didn't have a hot tub yet, but I am sure they will soon! Perfect place to get away and everything was very organized! Only thing I would have loved would have been a couple extra towels (but we were only there 1 night this time so we made do). Thank you!
It was over a pleasant experience. My only complaint was the entrance into the property. There should be more define entrance signs.

Hi Dorothy. We understand about that request. We have chosen to keep it this way so that we don't have unnecessary traffic coming through and the only people in the park are our guests. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay.
The place was described perfectly online. It was beautiful and had everything we needed. Beds were soft and comfortable. The hot tub was clean and enjoyable. Tv was good, with plenty so watch. Bathrooms were clean. The view was amazing. We were even able to walk down to the railroad tracks. The only complaint was my son kept hitting his head upstairs. We loved our stay and would definitely be back. Thank you!

It was very restful, jacuzzi was great, but smaller than pictures. Jets weren’t all on and you were all closed for the night so first night wasn’t enjoyable as all the others. Overall it was very relaxing and good looking place. Paid for Stephen and last minute change to Nana was a bummer but we understand due to unexpected maintenance.

Thank you for your understanding and for sharing your feedback, Maggie! We're glad to hear you enjoyed a restful stay and had a relaxing experience overall. We appreciate your flexibility with the change, and we hope to welcome you back for an even better experience next time!
We loved staying at this cabin! The check-in process was extremely easy thanks to an email the day before we arrived with ALL the important information. We were able to drive up to the cabin and enter our code on the door without any problems. The location of the cabin is PERFECT for someone wanting near the downtown area but distanced enough for nature. We were able to get to everything we wanted within 20-30 minutes, including the aquarium, Ruby Falls, and Rock City. The staff are extremely helpful and kind. Our trash can outside was emptied daily and when we reported a limb hit the neighboring cabin during a storm, they were there cleaning and repairing within about ten minutes. The beds were comfortable, even upstairs in the loft. The water pressure was perfect. My favorite part was the hot tub, especially after a day of hiking in the mountains. There are busy train tracks behind the cabins, but we only heard them when outside it the hot tub. We will 100% stay there again if we come back to Chattanooga.

Thank you Jennifer! We would be so grateful to host you all again next time.
Cabin was cozy but had plenty of space and all the amenaties you would need. The owners are extremely thoughtful to the needs of there guests even leaving pods for dishwasher and laundry. Close proximity to all Lookout Mountain attractions. Everything was above and beyond. Would highly recommend to anyone searching for cabin in Chattanooga area.

About the host
Hosted by Timberroot Rustic Retreats
I have loved world travels my entire life; though as father of 8 kids, our movements have been more limited of late. I am an entrepreneur and business owner, lover of history, plants, nature, my faith, philosophy, and my family. We love Chattanooga for too many reasons to list, but also cherish variety and the beauty so many places in the world have to offer.
As hosts, you will find us responsive and accommodating and eager to share the treasures of our town and learn the treasures of your own. We know the trails, many waterfalls, parks, restaurants, and attractions of Chattanooga quite well and are willing to be a resource for our guests, offering an intimate knowledge of the area.
As a traveler, on business I tend to work, read and rest if I can, and prefer to travel with associates or family when I can. As a vacationer, I am eager to share and celebrate the diversity of creation and humanity with my family and to give them an explorers heart, a warmth for difference, and a bit of zeal for travel too. I prefer National Parks to cities, but cities carry their own attraction. I prefer mountains to beaches, forests to fields, and local to corporate or suburban.
Why they chose this property
This was an old trailer park. We saw great potential for it, as a gem of a natural setting so incredibly close to the city. We offer a natural escape right on Lookout by the beautiful city of Chattanooga with unique and modern rustic comfort for the perfect mountain side stay.
