About this property

Private Multi Family Retreat on 5 Acres!

Our unique experience isn’t easy to find — and it books quickly! Create memories, reconnect with your people, and escape the noise at one of the few properties within driving distance of Nashville, Chattanooga, and Huntsville.

Imagine watching deer wander past the sauna window after a hike on one of 30 nearby trails just minutes from our private 5-acre retreat.

Imagine sipping a glass of wine in the hot tub or a margarita in the plunge pool while the kids play ping pong just steps away.

Guests will not have interaction with the hosts. However, we are available whenever you need us!

Walk out of our door and enjoy light hiking trails in the neighborhood or hop in the car to do more difficult hikes within 15 min!

Think cute mountain town meets sophisticated artist's retreat. The liberal arts college in town, University of the South provides incredible artisan culture that can be felt throughout the town.

Our neighborhood is called 'Deep Woods' for a reason. Secluded and quiet, it's almost impossible not to relax when you arrive!

Guests will access the property using smart locks.

"I've stayed at 100+ Airbnbs all over the world. And Rachael and Steph's place is my favorite. If two sisters running an Airbnb wasn't enough of a fun origin story, who they were throughout the process and how thoughtful, conscientiousness, and articulate they were made this a remarkable experience." -Recent 5 Star Review

Our home is a truly unique blend of space to be together while still having privacy when needed. The home features a large open concept living/kitchen area to be together in the 'main cabin' as well as 3 additional private guest quarters for couples to escape to at the end of the night.

GUEST COUNT GUIDE:
Check floor plans for details. Bedrooms 4, 5 & 6 are all private studio containers with a bathroom, kitchen area and private viewing deck. Our home is comfortable for 11 people and tight for 16. If you have 12 + in your group, please note that you will be using futons & cots in addition to the beds.

FIRST TIME STAYING IN A SHIPPING CONTAINER HOME?
We get tons of questions - Many asking, "Is this a 'normal' home?" - The answer is, yes! The outside looks extremely unique, but once you're inside, you'll forget you're in a shipping container because of the comfortable design and thoughtful touches throughout the home. Split units keep our home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Please note, all of the bedrooms are single containers and therefore, are narrow. The photos show this as the containers are the width of queen/king size beds. Additionally, this is still a cabin in the woods! It is an upscale cabin, yet imperfect. If you are looking for hotel quality perfection, please consider booking elsewhere.
