About this property

Unique hand-carved cave house with an amazing view of Lookout Mountain.

This hand-carved, artful cottage has a charming interior and large windows framing scenic views of Lookout Mountain. Inside, you'll find wood ceilings, a huge stone center wall, a full kitchen, and a spa-inspired bathroom with a stone sink and a large tile and stone shower. A queen size bed in the bedroom and a queen size sleeper sofa in the living room provide ample sleeping space for up to four guests. Outside there is a hot tub, fire pit and covered outdoor seating where you can hang out and enjoy the scenery.
You will have the best of both worlds here too! At the cottage, you'll be nestled in a quiet, country setting yet still have easy access to all that this mecca for outdoor enthusiasts offers. Mountain biking, caving, and rock climbing are within 5 miles. Road bike races regularly pass by on the way up Lookout Mountain. Hang gliding at Lookout Mountain Flight Park is just two blocks away and hiking at Cloudland Canyon State Park is within a few miles.
For guests wanting to include a city experience during their stay, the cottage is just a 17-mile drive to downtown Chattanooga with its many attractions, restaurants, civil war sites, shopping and more.
A note about hot tubs. We have three homes for short term rental. Each has it's own hot tub. We maintain them at least every other day and always between guests. This maintenance includes cleaning filters and adjusting chemical balance and chlorine levels. They are drained and refilled often. Sometimes they may not be hot yet when you get there. (A real problem of you're only there for one night) We will always choose "cold but clean" over "hot and green" for our hot tubs. Occasionally, something might go wrong with them that requires parts to be ordered. While we always want our hot tubs clean, fresh and operating properly, we do not give refunds if they are not hot when you arrive or if something has happened that requires repair parts and you can't get the bubbles to blow just like you want them.

Amazing! The rooftop lounge was perfect for coffee in the morning and waiting for sunset in the evening. Hot tub hit the spot after a day of hiking. We were on a mom's trip so we did no cooking - but found great food all around. Comfortable bed..

About the host

Hosted by Rick Gattone

Host profile image
I moved to this area from Atlanta in 1995. I had been coming here to play (caving, hang gliding, mountain biking, rock climbing) since the early 80's and couldn't stand the two hour drive from Atlanta every weekend. Shortly after I moved here, I accidently started Liquid Landscapes Aquatic Design and began building waterfalls and ponds for a living. I also started playing guitar and later, mandolin and get to play with some fine musicians in the area. Bring your instruments or ask for loaners whiles you're here...

Why they chose this property

I bought this property because of the amazing view. Its beautiful and I still appreciate it EVERY day.

What makes this property unique

This is our first of two hand-carved, ruins style cottages. The other one, (The Cavern on The Green, vrbo#1298361) is next door. These cabins are in a private section of a 12 acre property. Both cabins are arranged to have outdoor private areas out of view. The land is at the foot of lookout Mountain and is a great venue for outdoor gatherings. We have a choice of bonfire spots and plenty of room. You'll need to contact us in advance for info on hosting a function here.
