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. We welcome families, children, and pets (although need to be aware it is on the river- so safety for children and pets important). This cabin does rent through CRAIG's List.

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!

Great seclusion but access to Chattanooga

Everything was great for what we needed. 4 things one might not be prepared for, steep driveway I have 4wd so no big deal, rwd maybe stay at the top lot. 2 - Tennessee river had lots of algae around dock. Again I didn’t mind great for fishing but I was not jumping in. Not sure if this is seasonal, or what. 3- kids futon was squeaky, older son chose to sleep in loft, and lastly I could have used a couple more pots and pans but I was cooking for 7 and made due so not huge. Never had any problems and never had to call the owner. Very cool location - very calm and serene. I would go back and recommend. Thanks for the stay.

Nature at is Best

The property offered everything we were looking for, quiet and an escape from the hustle and bustle of life. The cabin offered everything needed for our stay and the best thing were the sights and sounds of nature. The location was perfect close enough to some of the tourist spots, but far enough for the quiet we were looking for. Our host was easy to contact and recommended several points of interest in the area. Looking forward to book again and highly recommend the area and cabin.

Secluded getaway!

Stayed with a group of old friends plus our children for a long weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our time! The location provides the opportunity to split your time between the city and the country and truly get the best of both worlds.I have never had more attentive hosts than we did here -- so helpful and available. The cabin itself is clean and beautifully furnished. We got rained out during much of our stay, but still found time to sit outside to take in the view and watch deer, turkeys, and a pair of bald eagles. We would love to come back in warmer weather so we can take advantage of the water as well!You won't regret booking this gem!

The Best Yet!

We met our 3 sons & their families at this riverside retreat, for Thanksgiving weekend. This residence felt like home from the moment we walked in! Everything we needed, was there. The peace of the river; the hot dog roast & s’mores at the fire pit was perfect. And plenty of space to ‘hide away’ a bit when needed. We’ve stayed in quite a few rentals over the years & this one is the best so far. Thank you for opening your home up!!

Quite Cabin

We enjoyed our stay. The house was exactly as described online. It was very quiet. Hardly any traffic down the horribly curvy road but it was nice. It took a long 30 minutes to get to anything, so make sure to get groceries and supplies before getting to the house. The river traffic was quiet too. We saw a couple of barges during our stay, which was neat.

Great Spot on the River!

We booked this location for a family getaway in Chattanooga. The location is great for relaxing and taking in the river. We enjoyed canoeing, building a few campfires, and watching the river traffic. The house is well appointed with everything you need and very accommodating. The house is about 45 minutes from downtown Chattanooga. The location is remote and very quiet once you get there. The view and house were better than what the pictures on the listing present. We had a few minor recommendations on cleaning/supplies that we will pass along to the owner. Our overall rating is a solid 5 and we would recommend as a great spot for a quiet getaway.
