Whether you are coming down for hiking, relaxing or just to get away from the work hustle, this home is for you.
The kitchen has all the essentials for cooking, etc. Please note, there is not a dishwashing machine so dishes will need to be washed by hand. NOTE: There is limited cell service at the house
Attention guests: We have some local celebrities in the area - our neighbor's dogs! They're big fans of impromptu visits, so don't be surprised if you're greeted by some enthusiastic furry friends. Consider it a special perk of our neighborhood!
There is NO direct access to the water from this property. The water is visible from the home but in order to walk to it from the front of the house you would have to cross onto private property that does not belong to us. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS - it is trespassing. Directions to a nearby (5 minutes away) public access boat ramp will be provided upon booking in your check-in email as well as on a print out in the home.
PLEASE NOTE: Although we are DOG friendly, we do NOT allow cats. For dogs, we charge pet rent of $25/per night per pup. (THIS WILL COME AS A SEPARATE CHARGE AFTER BOOKING AND IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDED WHEN YOU BOOK YOUR TRIP). If you have not disclosed that you will be bringing a pet in the booking process, please let us know. Although we are a pet friendly home, due to allergy issues of future renters we request that pets not be allowed on furniture (particularly in the bed). We also prefer pets be crated if left alone. Please pick up after your furry family member!

This host is amazing great communication let us check in early checkout process was great also checked in on us every now and then to ask if we needed anything I have never stayed somewhere they did that and thought it was amazing
Had a great time over a getaway weekend with my wife and small dogs at this great property. Perfect location for what we needed in the area and a short distance to Chattanooga and all of the area attractions.
This is a great spot. This is the second time we’ve stayed here. Both times have been great!

Thank you for choosing to stay with us again and for taking the time to leave such a positive review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay once again and that our property has met your expectations. We appreciate your continued support and hope to have the pleasure of hosting you for many more stays in the future.
The a frame house was so cute and very comfortable. The views from the porch were beautiful. The owner was very easy to communicate with. I'd stay here again if I was in the Chattanooga area again.
Everything was great. All accommodations were met. The property had all necessary items needed for the weekend. Would certainly book again if I come back to the area.

That's fantastic to hear! We're thrilled you had such a positive experience and that everything met your expectations. We'd be absolutely delighted to welcome you back anytime you're in the area!
We enjoyed our short stay at the Tiger Lilly. Location is quiet and remote, yet a good base camp for exploring Chattanooga area. Our kids called it "the triangle house" :) The upstairs access stairs are a bit cramped for tall people but otherwise the house was perfect. Excellent fiber wi-fi, which was helpful as cell service was spotty. The grounds and green lawn nextdoor were fun fot both kids and dog to roam. We enjoyed a dinner out on the porch and watching the river barges.
It was a nice location if you're trying to relax, and such a pretty drive to the house! We have a 3 year old, so we did go to Chattanooga a couple days during our stay to ride a train and do some hiking! We also went to the Cloudland state park which is nearby and that was nice too! Just drive around and you will be amazed, if you're not used to seeing mountains every day!
Overall its very nice, but small, 4 people MAX, Great views of the lake right out the front door. Huge front deck. Big driveway for your cars. Very clean, sharply refurbished in most areas. Beds need updating and the water pressure from the artesian well is pretty low - you might want to run up the PILOT for a quick shower.

Thank you Richard! Based on your feedback we just replaced the bed and have been looking into ways to increase water pressure!
Cute a-frame with lake view; clean but smallish.
Beds were comfortable but no door on one bedroom so not very private. Kitchen is small - no dishwasher; no bakeware other than cookie sheets, no storage bowls, etc so plan to bring your own or purchase locally like we did. We liked the property but would probably try another location if we return.
My family of 3 enjoyed our stay. Its fine for chilling and as a base for going into Chattanooga. As other reviewers have mentioned, understand the size of this place before you book it; the water pressure is a real challenge; the dogs mentioned in the description are dirty, outdoor living, country dogs who can/will bark morning, noon, and night, and will camp out right in front of the front door if allowed. This house is on a populated street so you will hear/see the neighbors and their motorcycles, boats, parties, etc. Like with anything, manage expectations and you might really like it here.
Big credit to the host. The listing is accurate. Poor cell service and no dishwasher. The checkout process is a little more labor intensive than most vrbo’s as they want all dishes cleaned before you leave. But they’re up front about that. The WiFi is great.
Beds are comfy. A couple of neighborhood dogs like to come visit. But don’t worry; they are very friendly.
We found the cabin to be clean and updated with modern touches. The gps would have taken us past the house but it was easy to find. It is close to towns and attractions. The lake view was nice and we had a couple of black dogs say hello to us in the morning. After we gave them some love and back scratches, they laid at the door for a bit before meandering off. We are dog owners ourselves so we did not mind. It was our first time in an A-frame house. There is a bit of low head clearance at the bottom of the stairs to watch out for but it wasn't an issue for us. The fas fireplace was nice and it did put out some heat. All in all, we had a great weekend staying there.
We had a great stay. I have recommended it to my friends.

Cute and Cozy
Decor was cute and Cozy good for a family of 4. Place was stocked well. There is no direct lake access and the house is not on the lake. The house is not the best outside setup if your going to vacation to chill and sit outside for a wonder picturesque view in the woods or on a lake, but we were out adventuring most of the time so it was perfect. Super clean and was big enough for me my husband and teenager to return to at night watch some tv and hang out.
What a wonderful little lake spot. Great spot across from The lake. Finishings are getting nice.
Would recommend this for a family of 4 or fewer.

Weekend getaway
This property felt very home-like & we were comfortable. Water pressure was not great in the shower. Farther out of town than what we had originally planned, the neighborhood was quiet and the home met our needs.
This cabin is very sweet. It was very clean and comfortable. The view is amazing. We had a lovely time and very much enjoyed our little get away. Ian was very helpful and kind. Thank you for allowing us to rent your cabin!
Quiet area to get away from the hustle and bustle of life and close enough to experience the city if the want is there.
