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. We have outside security cameras for parking area.

The property was perfect for our stay. The layout of the house allowed us each to have our own section and bathroom… allowing for privacy and comfort. The house wa beautiful and beautifully decorated. It was the best stocked vrbo we’ve ever encountered. The setting was amazing. Overall, just an amazing place.
This was a great choice on where to stay. We were looking for a place on the river with some privacy and that is exactly what we got. Cabin was clean and nicely stocked. The master bedroom on the main floor didn't have a lot of lighting but besides that we loved the cabin. Sitting on the dock was very relaxing and the morning sunrises were amazing.Highly recommended!
This is a beautiful property on a beautiful, lonesome bend in the Tennessee River. The riverfront setting is silent at night, allowing for picturesque photos of the mountains reflecting off of the still waters. Great location! Highly highly recommend!Do note that there is a bit of a drive from Chattanooga to the cabin; however, the property is worth the drive. I will be staying here again for future trips to Chattanooga.
What a beautiful home! The view over the river is amazing, the house is well stocked, and there are plenty of comfy places to sit and relax and sleep. Great place! I’d stay again if we come back to this area.
This home was gorgeous and the views were incredible. Very peaceful and secluded. This is one of the most well-stocked cabins I have ever stayed in. It included everything we could ever need in the kitchen. It does take about 30 minutes to get down the street out of the neighborhood but that is part of being secluded on nature. We loved all of the separate areas for guests to sleep and there was plenty of seating everywhere. Our family had a wonderful visit.
We had a great time. It was right on the river which was wonderful. We had a couple of mechanical issues, but the owners were very responsive to questions.
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.
Very beautiful and clean property! Well stocked with anything you might need to cook or play in the area. Host was extremely responsive and the view was spectacular. The only room for improvement was that we had to make some of the beds ourselves and the sheets and blankets were not very good or very many. It got cool in the evening so having access to more bedding and blankets would have been nice. Also, each registered guest got one towel- I totally understand the reasoning for this, but we had 5 girls with long hair so having some extra towels would have been very helpful.

Thank you for your review. We have plenty of extra blankets/quilts in the basement bedroom closet.
The cabin was very cozy and clean. The kitchen was stocked with everything we need to prepare and cook our food. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting around the fire pit at night.
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.
Beautiful, quiet absolutely breathtaking view. Owners were Amazing and nice and quick to respond.

We are retirement age and wanted a place to get away for us and family and share the quiet solitude with others looking to escape the rat race and social media craze. Relaxing by the waters edge of the Tennessee River. Also chose this location because of close proximity to multiple attractions.
