🏡 The Experience

Inside the home, an open-concept living area welcomes guests with soaring wood-beam ceilings, comfortable seating, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace—perfect for gathering together after a day on the water.

The fully equipped kitchen features granite countertops, a gas cooktop, double ovens, and a beverage station so the cook never misses the fun.

Step outside onto the large wraparound deck where you’ll find multiple seating areas, outdoor dining space, and a covered patio complete with café lights, a grill, and a TV for relaxing evenings outdoors.

Hidden Gem Lakeside Retreat comfortably accommodates up to 16 guests with spacious bedrooms and thoughtfully designed sleeping arrangements.

Each bedroom includes comfortable mattresses, soft linens, and welcoming touches that help guests unwind after a full day of lake adventures.

About the host

Hosted by Beth

Host profile image
I grew up in a home where guests were always welcome, so my love for providing hospitality started at a young age. Being your host is fun and meaningful because I love providing a beautiful space where you can relax, make fun memories with those you love, and find rest for your heart, soul, and mind.

I started hosting our first rental as a fun side project, but soon discovered that we wanted to keep growing our business through building new homes that are specifically designed for our guests. We took 6 of our 8 North Ridge Escapes properties from empty lots to the beautiful furnished properties available today! It’s a new found love and form of art with a meaningful purpose.

My husband and I have been married for over 16 years and love living in Chattanooga. We are enjoying these short, sweet, and crazy years as parents of four tiny humans! We love our church, Calvary Chapel Northside, and enjoy family adventures outside as much as possible.

We are honored to have you as our guest and I'm happy to answer any questions you have!
