Beautiful home tucked away on a mountain road. Nicely decorated, well stocked, comfortable beds and a great fireplace with wood provided, all made for a wonderful stay to catch up with long time friends.
We had a wonderful stay at this mountain house. We were close enough to the downtown Chattanooga area to go do things, but far enough away to be in a quiet area.
What a great place to be still and reflect. Quiet, peaceful and yet close enough to get out and enjoy nature and the city. Highly recommend this place.
We really enjoyed this property. The house was beautiful and had more than enough room for our family of eight. It was very clean and comfy and the atmosphere was just what we wanted. The house also had everything we needed for our stay. Thank you for your hospitality!
We enjoyed the kitchen as well as eating in Chattanooga at some nice restaurants. It was about a 30 minute drive and we spent a lot of time in the city. The house was very comfortable. All the beds and bathrooms were well equipped and nicely done. We played some of the board games that were provided by our host and had a wonderful time!
Overall we had a great stay! We loved the accommodations as each couple had their own room and bathroom. This home is on top of a mountain and has wonderful views very nearby. The only problem we had was poor communication with the host. We reached out a few times before our stay and once during and never heard back. Would recommend this home to any large family or group looking for a quite rustic stay.
A great property for our three generation family Christmas in January. There was even a beautifully decorated tree in the living room. With three levels, there was plenty of space for eight adults and three toddlers. The fireplace was an added bonus
We had a family vacation with 7 adults and 4 children. Everyone had ample space, the kids enjoyed playing outside and with the provided games. Host responded quickly to small issue and corrected it.
This is our second stay at the property. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. It’s perfect for a group. Host is very responsive and helpful. All of their efforts are very much appreciated. It’s a beautiful place.

Lovely home
Lovely home, great set up for multiple families. Spacious rooms and great bathrooms. Well furnished but could use a cookie sheet or baking pan in the kitchen. Was hoping for something a little more secluded feeling and further off the road, but road is relatively quiet. Overall I would recommend and would stay again.

Lots of room for all of us, 6 adults and 2 kids!
The cabin was spacious and already decorated for Christmas when we arrived, which was a nice touch. Would have like to had extra blankets as the basement bedroom didn't heat very well and extra towels would have been a plus as well. I would recommend this property for large groups looking for a peaceful getaway.

The pictures don't do it justice!
Wow! What a beautiful home! Perfect spot for a girl's weekend, or family getaway. Plenty of amenities, easy drive to downtown Chattanooga, nearby grocery options. We LOVED the front porch fireplace! Owners super responsive and easy to work with. Would definitely come back!
The property is spacious with 5 bedrooms. Bathrooms lack vanity space and the main floor bathroom sink needs updating. The size worked for our family. The owner was very nice and helpful with any issues we had.
Contact free check in with a door code. WiFi worked great. It’s about 30 minutes away from any restaurants or grocery stores. The house is super cute with a cottage feel. The showers did have mold growing in the caulk in the upstairs bathrooms. One of the bed sheets weren’t washed and we found dirt and Bobby pins in it. And we found an old yogurt container under the couch when we first got there. Overall, it was a nice place, just needed a little more attention to cleaning details.
Simply the best stay we've ever had and the nicest hosts
So let me start off by saying I got the dates wrong for for our stay. The hosts were so accommodating and kind and trying to work with us. He's probably the only reason my wife and I are still talking:-) their home is absolutely gorgeous and one of the nicest areas of Chattanooga. If I could have I would have stayed a month. The home was clean very, very well equipped, and gave you a sense of Mountain life with all the amenities.

Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Close to the road and other houses
This property is not as secluded as it appears in the pictures. We didn’t ask if there were close neighbors, so that’s on us. House is very close to the road and other houses. Beds are comfortable and house is spacious.

Absolutely amazing!
This cabin is amazing! It has so much space over 3 floors. Each bedroom has a full attached bath and most have huge jetted tubs. We stayed with 7 young kids and 3 adults and 2 beds were still unused. The property is beautiful. We spent our last night roasting smores on the porch fireplace while the kids played tag and ran around in the woods. It is just 20 minutes to downtown Chattanooga making for easy trips to local attractions. We did the aquarium, incline railway, caverns, and local hiking. We will definitely be back!
Our family loved it! Each bedroom had their own bathroom! Camp feeling but house amenities. Wish we had more time to explore the area as many locals played in the creek / water area leading up to the house. Great communication beforehand - they gave us a list of items to do and answered questions.
We also loved the porch and fireplace! There were a lot of wood bees on the porch …. They didn’t bother us but kids were a bit skiddish.
