About this property
Private wooded escape on 10 1/2 acres. Views, hot tub, trails, and more!
Welcome to our Why Not Woodland Escape—where luxury, whimsy, and the wild all meet on 10 ½ private mountain acres. We love this house deeply, and now we’re sharing it with you.
We asked ourselves: Why not build a dream where we can have it all? And by golly, I think we did it (or have come darn close!)
-- Window-wall with mountain and treetop views
-- Outdoor shower
-- Hot tub under the stars
-- Firepit (and s'more sticks of course)
-- Peaceful road walkable to hang gliding launch
-- Two kitchens: Indoor chef's kitchen and outdoor grilling kitchen
-- Outdoor screened living room with TV
-- Private, peaceful, and quiet
-- High-speed fiber internet
-- Dedicated work space
-- Game room with darts and ping pong
-- Workout room with weights, bench, boxing bag, and pull-up bar
-- Seasonal take-what-you-need herb garden for cooking and cocktails
-- Dedicated bar with barware
-- Nearly 1/2 mile private trail with a seasonal creek
--Binoculars for wildlife and bird watching (and bird feeders)
-- 2 kayaks to use (ask us for great recommendations!)
-- No light pollution or road noise
A true escape yet close to it all:
15 min to Dunlap, 35 min to Chattanooga, 10 min to epic hiking, 2 hrs to Knoxville, Atl, and Nashville. Walkable to the Tennessee Treetoppers paragliding and hang gliding launch.
Here, choice is part of the adventure. Want to shower inside while treetops frame your view? You’ve got it. Or, why not step onto the private deck and let the birds and cicadas set the soundtrack with a hot shower under the sky?
Hungry? Cook inside in the chef’s kitchen with sharp knives, ample counter space, and everything you need within reach. Or take it outside—grill, chill, and prep at the outdoor kitchen, or go rustic with fire pit hot dogs and gooey s’mores.
Rest comes easy in three dreamy bedrooms: a king suite with deck access to the hot tub and outdoor shower, a cozy queen upstairs, and a two XL twin room (perfect for kids or adults). Every bed is dressed with deluxe mattresses and 100% organic cotton percale sheets for that slip-right-in sleep.
The screened outdoor living room—with TV, comfy seating, and a pass-through to the kitchen—blurs the line between indoors and out. And don’t miss the private trail (nearly 1/2 mile) winding through the woods, complete with a seasonal creek and “eye spy” surprises for explorers of all ages.
We love pups and are happy to host them! To ensure a comfortable stay for everyone, we ask that our furry guests be well-behaved and house-trained. There’s even a crate for anxious pups so everyone can relax.
Peace, play, and possibility—it’s all here. Because really… why not?

About the host
Hosted by Kelly Summersett
Why Not Woodland Escape got its name because we literally said WHY NOT move from the city and live on-site in a camper while we design and build our dream home?
WHY NOT also gets its name from the countless branches and trees we handled in the shape of 'Y's' and of course, all the knots in the trees.
