Beautiful river cabin in the heart of the Tennessee River Gorge.

Beautiful place to take a break, in solitude,...fish, swim, no neighbors next door. Kayak rentals nearby. Just sit on the dock and enjoy the river, the view across the way, stars at night.
Enjoy our peaceful woodland cabin in the heart of the Tennessee River Gorge with beautiful views of the river and gorge...Sit by the fire pit and watch the sunset roasting marshmallows or hot dogs...watch the barges, kayaks, and boats go by...or geese, waterfowl, and wildlife. After cooking out on grill...dine out on the spacious screened in porch overlooking the river. Gather together in the evening and play games or cuddling up next to the fire with a book and/or loved one. This is a restful place surrounded by nature with all its beauty. Kayak the river or hike nature trails to the Prentice Cooper State Forest (part of the Cumberland Plateau). Enjoy all this within 30 minutes of downtown Chattanooga to explore. Our 3 bedroom/3 bath (with bunk room and loft) will sleep 10...accommodating family get togethers.

Our stay at this cabin was absolutely wonderful. Nestled quietly in the mountains, it offers the perfect balance of peaceful seclusion and convenient access to town. The setting creates a relaxing, getaway feel without sacrificing proximity to restaurants, shops, and activities.Upon arrival, the cabin was exceptionally clean and well-maintained, which immediately made us feel comfortable and at home. Every detail was thoughtfully prepared, and it was fully equipped with all the amenities needed for a cozy and enjoyable stay. From start to finish, it provided the perfect retreat, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing mountain escape.

This house is in a beautiful location. It is a 30 minute drive down a narrow, winding road but well worth it. The house was well stocked with amenities as well as being clean. It felt like a home away from home.

It was a beautiful cabin! Great views! We enjoyed the fire pit, firewood was supplied!The driveway was a bit steep as someone else stated, but we made it and we were in a Murano SUV. The beds were comfortable and the loft and basement had their own AC units. So everyone was comfortable there. It is a long winding road to get to the cabin, from either direction you come in. So just get up in the morning and go on your excursions, and pick up food on way home for dinner! They have a gas grill with lots of propane refills. I guess my only complaint would be the towels, we had to wash those every day, but they do have a washer and dryer and supply detergent. I would definitely stay here again! Enjoy.

It is a lovely home on a beautiful property. The area is quiet and peaceful. While it is a bit of a drive to get anywhere, we already knew that from the very representative listing. The kitchen is well stocked with essentials and cleaning supplies. A great and comfortable get away!

Quiet week on the water!

Property was great for our family! We saw lots of wild life including eagles catching their breakfast most mornings and several herons hanging in the shallow water. Wonderful views of the river and mountains. Well stocked kitchen. Easy check in and check out. Would recommend 4WD/AWD as the driveway might be challenging without. Cabin is 25-30 minutes minimum from main roads and access road is narrow and windy in some spots.

Amazing view

It was a beautiful view and very nice cabin. Wish we could have fished and hung out in the river in front of the cabin but the weeds in the river made that impossible. We tried to rent kayaks but you definitely need to do that in advance they were booked! Regardless we really enjoyed our time here!

Bring your toys and enjoy the water !

Wonderful setting. Saw lots of wildlife. River is great. Fishing is good. Coffee on the deck overlooking river so relaxing.Plan your drive to town due to the scenic road where wildlife is bundant. Cabin lacks overhead lights in most rooms (table lamps ate there) but all else was great.

Wonderfully Relaxing Getaway

Our stay was wonderfully relaxing! We were able to meet up with relatives to visit and do some sightseeing in Chattanooga and the surrounding area!The house was perfect for our family and a great place to sit and embrace the beauty of nature surrounding us. We did a puzzle on a rainy day, sat on the deck for hours chatting, made meals together in the kitchen, tried fishing off the dock but weren’t successful. All in all everything you need is right at the house for the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Thanks for the memories!
