This charmingly renovated 100-year-old home is just 5 minutes from downtown Chattanooga. It comfortably sleeps up to 8 people and shares a resort-style pool and patio with two other homes. Please note that the pool is a shared space, and parties are prohibited.
The Space:
The Blue House is part of Wauhatchie Woodlands, a collection of quaint, tiny-home, rustic-comfort log cabins on a 14-acre wooded property surrounded by National Park land. The property is owned and operated by Timberroot, a small, family-owned business that specializes in creating rustic spaces that allow you to relax, recharge, and reconnect with nature.
This natural setting is nested less than a mile from the city, with quick access to downtown Chattanooga, Ruby Falls, Lookout Mountain, and the surrounding area.
We've lovingly updated this historic home while retaining all of its original character. An open floorplan and an abundance of windows make for a bright, airy space, with beautiful forest views on all sides. The high plank ceilings enhance the space and make bunk beds cozy and very accommodating.
The main room features a galley kitchen, dining room, and living area with Smart TV. A stained dining deck off of the kitchen offers outdoor dining space for six and a charcoal grill (charcoal not include). Behind the home is an intimate outdoor living space with a cushioned sectional sofa and the large private Hot Tub.
The main bedroom features a king bed, Smart TV, and ensuite bathroom. The bunk room has one full and three twin beds. Parents will love the privacy of the main suite and can easily sleep up to five kids in the bunk room.
The Blue House is in a compound with two other homes, the May Family Home and Skyuka Chalet. The homes share a stunning, heated resort-style pool with an expansive flagstone patio. On the patio, you'll find lounge seating, an outdoor fireplace, and an outdoor kitchen with a covered dining pavilion.
The pool is closed during winter, typically from October to March.
The ground floor of the Chalet serves as the poolhouse for all three properties. Guests have access to a shared washer and dryer, a workout room, poolside showers, and toilets.
The Blue House is more than just a house; it's a true forested resort just a tiny hop from downtown Chattanooga.
Chattanooga is a city known for its railroads. There are active train tracks that border the property to the north and I-24 is about half a mile away.

Cute house, great amenities, beautiful location and world-class hosts. I was most impressed by the host reps who not only talked me through finding the house late at night when we arrived but also quickly got folks out the next day to trim some low hanging tree branches along the driveway that were hitting the roof of our van. My family and i had a great time and appreciate the great service we received!

Thank you for visiting us again and sharing this valuable feedback, Bob. We appreciate your loyalty and appreciation for Wauhatchie Woodlands. Our entire team here at Timberroot Rustic Retreats works hard to deserve your loyalty.
We enjoyed our stay for one night at this house. The property entrance is strange to get to but the directions provided by the host help. The hot tub was wonderful and clean, sound machines for the constant train noises were a great touch, extra mattress and fans were unexpected and nice to have access to. Would stay again!

Nice house with a big relaxing hot tub. The pool is was shared, very nice, and is right across the driveway from the house. Location was a little hidden but close to Chattanooga.
The place was very nice. As others have mentioned it was a little tricky to find, but we managed. Highly recommend.

The house was clean and well prepared. The property was nice. Kind of hard to get to the house but the directions given helped a lot. The trains passing were loud.
Great location. Nice, comfy, clean and all the necessities needed. We used the pool and jacuzzi. Saw squirrels and crows on the property.
Visited Point Park, Rock City, Lookout Mountain, Tennessee Train Museum, Aquarium, Art Museum, Incline Railway & the Carousel at the park. Ate at Odell’s x2, Pucketts, Flaming Rooster & Clumpies Ice Cream. I ran the Skyuka Springs Trail, Walnut Street Bridge area & Mr Ts pizza area.
