There are 3 acres of front yard space for kids to roam and play games as well as the woods to explore. Take a mile hike on the property that goes through the woods and across the lower pasture to Chickamauga Creek which is on the property. The creek is 30 feet wide and usually is only a few feet deep. The kids love to play in the creek and look for animals and their footprints. Also, searching for arrowheads is a popular endeavor around the creek as well. The Lodge of McLemore's Cove is a custom built 6,000 square foot log home that has many unique features that will make your stay memorable. The 28 ft. cathedral ceilings and the massive 10 foot front doors are a glimpse into what is in store for our guests.

The early risers can watch the sun peek over Pigeon Mountain and everyone can watch the beautiful sunsets over Lookout Mountain. And the best is yet to come as once the sun sets the spectacular night sky puts on a show that is breathtaking. If you love nature's beauty then you will be at home here and if you enjoy real log homes this is the place for you. If you want the big city and parking lots then you may have a change of heart after your visit. Whatever your preferences we will welcome you to a beautiful log home that is in a gorgeous setting.

The property is huge and the lodge very spacious and interesting. Jon is a very attentive host and ready to help with any need. We enjoyed the available games and outdoor activities- creek, hiking, corn hole, pool, hot tub. Our family of 19 from SC, NM, and Germany enjoyed our time together there.
Jon was an incredible host. Kind, communicative, eager to help. The location is absolutely beautiful; the property is well-maintained and fun to spend time on; the rooms are comfortable. I would absolutely recommend.
Our group of 18 had an incredible stay and cannot say enough good things about this home. The layout was perfect for us; we shared so many wonderful conversations across the various living areas—memories we will truly cherish for a lifetime.The amenities were a huge hit with everyone, and the views are simply breathtaking. For those looking to get some tee time in, the location was exceptionally convenient for golfing at McLemore, and we loved how easy it was to grab local brews nearby.The host was fantastic—friendly, thoughtful, and very attentive. They met us on-site to give us a warm introduction to the property and even checked in later to ensure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. We highly recommend this spot for any large group!
Really enjoyed the stay at this lodge. The owner Jon was fantastic in all aspects. Communication, walk-through of the house, checking in during our stay, flexibility on check-in and check-out times. Great location for large groups. Would definitely stay here again.
Beautiful location; comfortable accommodations/beds; slept 13 women comfortably. Close to hiking which was great. Property manager was so amazing and helpful!
The House was everything we wanted and more. Everything was well stocked and the host was very accommodating. Our whole group was very pleased and would not hesitate to stay again
We had a blast and the owner is so friendly and helpful.

Amazing property with so much to do and was perfect for a bachelor party. Also had a day trip to Chattanooga that was a very easy drive. However, the host was incredibly involved in our trip. I had to do a 20 minute tour with him the moment I arrived. This tour could have EASILY been an Instructional printout like all reputable rentals use. He then he stopped by everyday. The first time he came it was to ask us to help move an arcade machine while we were playing yard games and then he hung around a bit moving stuff in and out of the basement. The second time was our last day where he was leaf blowing while we were about to go in the pool. Very very unnecessary and he should change all communication to digital. When I rent a property for several thousand I don’t want to even know what the host looks like.
We brought a group of 13 people out ans it was absolutely PERFECT! Jon greeted us and was so kind and accomidating. I will certainly be be back to this property!
The property was better than advertise. The owner took good care of us and everything was better than advertised. This is a perfect to get away for a large group.
Our three families had a wonderful stay.
There were so many activities to engage in right on the property - which was perfect for active families.
Beautiful, spacious home and property.
The owner was very helpful and attentive.
We had a great time! The house was clean and everything there that we needed to have a great stay. Jon is very attentive and goes out of his way to ensure guests have a good time. There were plenty of games and activities to keep all ages busy. The only suggestion I would have is to have the volleyball net and horseshoes closer to the house. I would definitely visit again.
My group and I had an amazing time here! We had friends and family fly in from all over to enjoy a weekend birthday getaway. Plenty of space for everyone. The location was beautiful. Jon was super helpful through the whole process and very friendly and informative about the surrounding area. Would definitely recommend it for any group!
Our stay was beyond perfection. Jon was so communicative and kind and went out of his way to make sure the hot tub was on for my group who was doing a long running race that morning. He was available to answer any of our questions and made sure we knew we could contact him if they were ever any issues. There weren’t any issues. The house was beautifully decorated for Christmas and so warm and inviting. Our group of 20 ladies was more than comfortable And if we run another race in Cloudland, we will certainly stay there again. This spot is perfect for a party, family union, company event, friend weekend. It’s just perfect
Could not have been more happy with the property. It was perfect for our group of 12 people. We golfed at McLemore and it was an ideal location for that.
100% would stay again. Jon was a pleasure to work with.
My women retreat was a success at this cabin there are no bad words I can say. The stay was awesome and the grounds were very well kept. We felt really comfortable there. I will be using this cabin again.
