Perfect Getaway on the Water Beautiful Gorge Views Complimentary Kayaks & SUPs 11 miles to Downtown
A Perfect Getaway on the Water with Beautiful Gorge Views! Complimentary Kayaks & SUPs!
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.
Things to Note:
The road to the house winds along the river and can get narrow and curvy in places - please drive with caution! If narrow winding roads intimidate you, this may not be the best place for you.
The house has neighbors on either side that are sensitive to noise disturbances. If your plans include late night partying , this is not the place for you.

About the host
Hosted by Aaron Wilburn or Vincent Beasley

Just a couple of families that enjoy getting outside or taking a relaxing boat ride up the river to enjoy a meal at a downtown restaurant. The Beasley's and the Wilburn's have a passion for having fun outdoors and teaching their children the same.
When they are not providing healthcare services, putting people under anesthesia, preparing tax returns or engineering electrical stuff, they are spending time with family and friends or trying to fit in the next mountain bike ride between soccer practice and swim lessons.
