About this property

Perfect Getaway on the Water~Beautiful Gorge Views~11 miles to Downtown!

A Perfect Getaway on the Water with Beautiful Gorge Views!
Unbelievable location right on the Tennessee River in the heart of the Gorge. This property features an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings in the living room and kitchen and large spacious bedrooms with plenty of room to sleep everyone. Enjoy views of Raccoon Mountain and the River gorge from the living room, kitchen and sun room or step out onto the massive covered porch to enjoy the sunrises and sunsets.
We have 3 Bedrooms with the following setup:
Bedroom #1: King Size bed
Bedroom #2: Queen Size bed
Bedroom #3: 2 Sets of Full over Full bunks (that is 4 full size beds total)
Rec Room: 2 full size sleeper/convertible sofas.
Walk down to the water and experience the river for all it has to offer with swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, canoeing paddling, and fishing or bring your boat and take advantage of the fully covered boat dock and slip. If staying on land is more your style you can hang out and play some games in the large, flat backyard or go and check out some of the nearby hiking and climbing. The Pot Point Nature Trail is just 1 mile down the road or head back towards town about 3.5 miles and take a hike up Middle Creek.
Make sure to visit downtown which is only 11 miles from the house and features the Chattanooga Aquarium, Creative Discovery Museum, Chattanooga Lookouts, Historic Bluff View Art District, Hunter Art Museum and numerous excellent restaurants. If you are lucky you might catch one Chattanooga’s many festivals or events which are a weekly occurrence most of the spring, summer and fall. Just a little past downtown on Lookout Mountain you will find Ruby Falls, Rock City, and the Incline Railway.

If you're looking for a getaway that feels like you are miles away from anything, but actually only a few miles from everything, then the River Bunker House is just for you!
The place is all yours, but feel free to reach out if you have any questions or issues.

The property was a 10/10. It was clean and spacious. It was only a couple hundred feet from the water. The view was amazing. The lake is beautiful. And only about 20 minutes from Chattanooga. Loved the stay.

The highlight of the property is the covered back porch, which has lovely views of the river. The living room and dining area are also comfortable for the group to sit together. The house has original features that are generally well-maintained as well as several updates such as new windows. The hosts were very responsive to a question we had soon after checking in. Our group thoroughly enjoyed the natural beauty of this riverside retreat.

This place was simply amazing. We arrived in the middle of the night so we couldn’t really see outside until the next morning. When we woke up and went out on the back deck we instantly knew this was one of the best places we have ever stayed at. The view was simply breathtaking. I don’t think we will stay anywhere else when we visit Chattanooga. The sun coming over the mountains looking down on the water with picturesque smoke on top of the water was amazing. If you’re visiting Chattanooga this place is worth every penny. Can’t say enough about how relaxing this trip was.
