What a great experience! Adorable tiny cabin in the woods. My friends and I had a wonderful time staying the night here. The cabin was so clean, cute, and cozy. Communication with the owners was easy and seamless. The location was perfect for what we needed. We definitely hope to come again!

Thank you for choosing Sophie Cabin again, Hannah! We're so happy to hear it was just as clean and cozy as you remembered. It’s great to know you’re planning to bring your kiddos next time—sounds like a wonderful trip in the making! We’d love to host you again and again with Timberroot Rustic Retreats.
Was a great stay! Close to the aquarium and downtown! Loved the trains and over all a nice place. I wouldn’t want to go when it is busy season do to how close the cabins are together! Over all a great place for family!
Sophie cabin is a perfect setup for a family of four. We stayed for two nights and the cabin was very well appointed, clean, comfortable, and perfectly located right near downtown.

Corey, we appreciate your awesome review. We work hard to make sure everything is just right for our guests and we are so glad you were not disappointed! We look forward to having you back and tell your friends and family! See you soon!
We loved our stay at the Sophie Cabin. It was a beautiful cabin and very close to downtown but private enough away to feel away from the city. Highly recommend!

We found the Sophie cabin to be very comfortable. Perfect location. Close to all the sites in Chattanooga. Thank you for sharing your property with us.
We stayed overnight for a trip to the local aquarium. We arrived and had a lovely time. The kids loved the hot tub and the choice of a bunk house or a loft. We loved the space was clean, had everything we needed and felt cozy and comfortable.

Laura, Thank you for reviewing your stay with us! We are so glad to hear you had such a wonderful time with us while visiting the Aquarium. Thank you for mentioning how clean and cozy the tiny cabin was. We are so glad that the kids loved the hot tub and loft/ bunk beds. We hope you all will join us again on your next trip to Chattanooga!
We were stopping through the area during travels and had a great stay. It was perfect for our family of 4 and would be great for even a large family. We had so much extra space and our one and three year old had several great places for sleeping.
We stopped here for one night on our way to Florida and really wish we would have had more time there! My 8 year old daughters loved the loft area , the cabin made great use of the small space, it was clean and surrounded by nature. We hope to be back!
Easy to find and a nice place. I thought it would be more difficult to get back on the main road but it was easy. My kids loved the little trail and bridge. Will stay here again when we come back to Chattanooga!
The tiny cabin was in a great location. The property was clean and they had all the necessities. The only negatives we encountered were a dirty hot tub and and some bug problems (I think mostly due to the heavy rains in the area). But overall, the loft space was great and the cabin met our needs for our short vacation!

About the host
Hosted by Timberroot Rustic Retreats
I have loved world travels entire life though as father of 8 kids, having 3 in the past 3 years, our movements have been more limited of late. I am an entrepreneur and business owner, lover of history, plants, nature, my faith, philosophy, and my family. We love Chattanooga for too many reasons to list, but also cherish variety and the beauty so many places in the world have to offer.
As hosts, my wife is home alot with our 3 Littles (and 5 not so Littles in the summer) during the day, and we live on the same property as our offering. So you will find us responsive and accommodating and eager to share the treasures of our town and learn the treasures of your own. We know the trails, many waterfalls, parks, restaurants, and attractions of Chattanooga quite well and are willing to be a resource for our guests, offering an intimate knowledge of the area.
As a traveler, on business I tend to work, read and rest if I can, and prefer to travel with associates or family when I can. As a vacationer, I am eager to share and celebrate the diversity of creation and humanity with my family and to give them an explorers heart, a warmth for difference, and a bit of zeal for travel too. I prefer National Parks to cities, but cities carry their own attraction. I prefer mountains to beaches, forests to fields, and local to corporate or suburban.
Why they chose this property
This was an old trailer park. We saw great potential for it, as a gem of a natural setting so incredibly close to the city. We offer a natural escape right on Lookout by the beautiful city of Chattanooga with unique and modern rustic comfort for the perfect mountain side stay.
