About this property
The Crow's Nest: huge balcony, fire pit, pets welcome, fireplace, stunning view!
Welcome to The Crow's Nest, a tiny home with a big view!
Situated off the side of the brow of Lookout Mountain, The Crow's Nest was built for peaceful nights, breathtaking views, and great proximity to amazing hiking, rock climbing, and many other outdoor activities.
Inside, you'll enjoy a comfortable living area with smart TV, queen-sized sleeper sofa, electric fireplace, and a well-equipped kitchen with all needed items for meals/snacks and all appliances, large and small. We have a washer and dryer for your convenience, and complimentary wifi is available. The primary bedroom is on the main level and offers a king-sized bed with smart TV. Up a ladder into our loft, you'll find a queen-sized bed. There is a single bathroom with a large walk in shower.
Step outside to one of the most breathtaking parts of The Crow's Nest: our partially-covered balcony with loads of seating, dining table, and an unmatched view of miles and miles of the Lookout Mountain valley. Step down from the deck and take a seat around our firepit to continue enjoying the mountain atmosphere long after dark.
We also have a level 2 electric car charging station for guest use.
Mentone, Alabama is very nearby with a huge arts and crafts presence in a laid-back mountain community. McLemore Golf Resort is just down the road, and Cloudland Canyon State Park, Desoto State Park, and Little River Canyon are popular nature destinations ready for hikers of all skill-levels. When you're ready to escape the hustle and bustle of city life, The Crow's Nest is ready to be your oasis of peace.
Primary renter must be at least 25 years old, sign a rental agreement within 48 hours of booking, be present for the duration of the stay, and agree to provide the host a credit card on which a $200 damage deposit hold will be placed prior to arrival and then released after his/her uneventful stay. No smoking or parties allowed. Pets are limited to two with a nonrefundable pet fee.

About the host
Your host
Why Wait Just Book It is a family-operated vacation rental business founded by Haley, Jared, and Zack. Our mission is to provide unforgettable vacation experiences that encourage families to embrace the present, create lasting memories, and enjoy life together.
The name Why Wait Just Book It was inspired by the idea of seizing the moment and traveling now rather than waiting for “someday.” It’s a playful nod to Nike’s iconic “Just Do It” slogan, but with a twist that ties back to our faith. During brainstorming, the question “What Would Jesus Do?” (WWJD) sparked a lightbulb moment, leading us to this meaningful and unique name.
Our journey to starting this business was born out of both challenge and blessing. In 2023, our lives were turned upside down in many ways, which deepened our appreciation for the importance of family, faith, and creating special moments together. Through those experiences, we were inspired to help others do the same by offering welcoming, family-friendly vacation rentals where unforgettable memories can be made.
We feel incredibly blessed to embark on this adventure as a family and are excited to share our homes and our story with you. Why wait? Just book it and start making memories today!

Why they chose this property
The view plus the peaceful tranquility of the Lookout Mountain area.
Welcome to The Crow’s Nest—a tiny home with a big story. The name was born from a blend of passion, sport, and cherished family memories.
For Zack, basketball isn’t just a game—it’s a way of life. As a devoted Duke fan, he was inspired by the unique term used at his beloved university: “the crow’s nest,” a special seating area that elevates the experience of the game. His love for basketball extends into his work too, as he coaches varsity girls basketball and affectionately refers to a key spot in the gym by that very name.
The inspiration didn’t stop there. A treasured photograph of our Mawmaw and Pawpaw captures a moment of warmth and whimsy, with them holding a sign that proudly declared, “one old crow and one cute chick live here.” Though they have since passed on, their spirit, humor, and love continue to fill our hearts and remind us of the importance of home.
By blending these two worlds—the spirited energy of the game and the enduring legacy of family—the name The Crow’s Nest became a perfect symbol for our tiny home. It’s a place where memories soar, passion is celebrated, and every corner tells a story.
