Wauhatchie Blue Pool House with Private Spa

Summary:

Like all of our Wauhatchie Woodlands rentals, the Wauhatchie Blue House is your basecamp for adventure in Lookout Valley. This charmingly renovated 100-year-old home is just 5 minutes from downtown Chattanooga. It comfortably sleeps up to 8 people and shares a resort-style pool and patio with two other homes. Please note that the pool is a shared space, and parties are prohibited.



The Space:

The Blue House is part of Wauhatchie Woodlands, a collection of quaint, tiny-home, rustic-comfort log cabins on a 14-acre wooded property surrounded by National Park land. The property is owned and operated by Timberroot, a small, family-owned business that specializes in creating rustic spaces that allow you to relax, recharge, and reconnect with nature.



This natural setting is nested less than a mile from the city, with quick access to downtown Chattanooga, Ruby Falls, Lookout Mountain, and the surrounding area.



We've lovingly updated this historic home while retaining all of its original character. An open floorplan and an abundance of windows make for a bright, airy space, with beautiful forest views on all sides. The high plank ceilings enhance the space and make bunk beds cozy and very accommodating.



The main room features a galley kitchen, dining room, and living area with Smart TV. A stained dining deck off of the kitchen offers outdoor dining space for six and a charcoal grill (charcoal not include). Behind the home is an intimate outdoor living space with a cushioned sectional sofa and the large private Hot Tub.



The main bedroom features a king bed, Smart TV, and ensuite bathroom. The bunk room has one full and three twin beds. Parents will love the privacy of the main suite and can easily sleep up to five kids in the bunk room.



The Blue House is in a compound with two other homes, the May Family Home and Skyuka Chalet. The homes share a stunning, heated resort-style pool with an expansive flagstone patio. On the patio, you'll find lounge seating, an outdoor fireplace, and an outdoor kitchen with a covered dining pavilion.



The pool is closed during winter, typically from October to March.



The ground floor of the Chalet serves as the poolhouse for all three properties. Guests have access to a shared washer and dryer, a workout room, poolside showers, and toilets.



The Blue House is more than just a house; it's a true forested resort just a tiny hop from downtown Chattanooga.



Chattanooga is a city known for its railroads. There are active train tracks that border the property to the north and I-24 is about half a mile away. Please note that light sleepers may be affected by the ambient city and train noise. Each cabin has been equipped with a white noise machine to help minimize any disturbance.



Pack' n Play Travel cribs are available upon request.



Sprout General Store recently opened on the Wauhatchie Woodlands grounds. Grab a coffee (fueled by Roasted Root Cafe) to start your morning, treat yourself to ice cream, pick up a map with activity ideas, and browse Timberroot merch and local goods—everything you need is within just steps of your cabin.



To make sure your stay at the Blue House is perfect, our locally based Guest Services representatives are on-call from 8:00 am to 11:00 pm, seven days a week.



Guest Access:

You'll have the entire home to yourself during your stay.



The pool area and amenities are shared with two other properties, the May Family Home and the Skyuka Chalet. The ground floor of the Chalet serves as the poolhouse and also shared.



The Blue House is located on the edge of Wauhatchie Woodlands, a 14-acre property surrounded by National Forest. Guests have access to trails around the grounds, as well as shared pavilions, community fire pits, and playground. Please be respectful of other guests during your stay.



The Neighborhood:

Wauhatchie Woodlands sits in Lookout Valley, a scenic pocket of Southeast Tennessee tucked between the Tennessee River and the base of Lookout Mountain. It’s close enough to Chattanooga to explore, yet far enough to feel like you've escaped the hustle and bustle of the city. Reflection Riding Arboretum and Nature Center is nestled right at the base of the mountain with 12 miles of hiking trails and canoe rentals to paddle scenic Lookout Creek. Those trails connect directly up the mountain, where Rock City, Ruby Falls, Chickamauga & Chattanooga National Military Park, and Raccoon Mountain Caverns round out the adventure. When you're ready for a bite or a night out, downtown Chattanooga is only minutes away.



Fall is a full season in Lookout Valley. September brings Ironman Chattanooga through downtown, five minutes away, and Rock City opens its Enchanted Pumpkin Patch up the mountain from September 18 through October 31. Mid-October through early November is peak leaf season here, with the valley's pastures and foothills making for an easy scenic drive. Downtown fills up too, with Wine Over Water at Renaissance Park on October 10, World of Bluegrass October 20–24, and Head of the Hooch at Ross's Landing the first weekend of November, one of the largest rowing regattas in the country. Wauhatchie Woodlands keeps you close to all of the autumn action.



Getting Around:

To make the most of your stay, we recommend a car to get around. Each of our tiny cabins can accommodate two cars in private driveways.



UBER and Lyft are available throughout the Chattanooga area, in addition to a number of local taxi services. Please note that availability may be extremely limited during peak times.



The city of Chattanooga offers reasonably priced parking on the street and in several public parking lots.



A free electric shuttle bus runs between the Chattanooga Choo Choo and the Tennessee Aquarium with stops at every block. The buses run every 15 minutes, Monday through Friday from 6:30 am to 10 pm, Saturday from 9:30 am to 11 pm, and Sunday from 9:30 am to 8:30 pm. Bus schedules may vary, please consult the Chattanooga Area Regional Transit Authority website for the most up to date schedules.



Bike Chattanooga offers bike share rentals at 42 self-service kiosk locations all around downtown Chattanooga. With over 300 bicycles and 50 e-bikes this is a great way to explore the city. Visit Bike Chattanooga’s website to learn more.
