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

The home was just as advertised. My family (ages 65 to 6) had a wonderful time relaxing and fishing. There was enough space in the house for everyone to spread out and find an activity. The property down to the dock was very level, and the view was spectacular. The home was also an easy drive into Chattanooga and close to a grocery store. The only negative, which is out of the owners’ control, was the road to the home. It is narrow. If you are bringing your own boat, be prepared to back it into the drive from a narrow road.

We really enjoyed the property! Being right on the river and secluded from the city, but still within 20-30 mins of just about everything was perfect!We do feel the house looked more dated in person than in the photos, but the beds and bedding were all very comfortable, the kitchen worked well for everyone in our family (ranging from 11 to 81 years old) and we all enjoyed our time there. Though the house is dated it is very obviously well cleaned regularly which is very important to us!Important note unrelated to the property: Be sure to eat at Uncle Larry’s on E MLK Blvd when you visit Chattanooga! It is absolutely stellar, delicious, fresh soul food.

Great location, really enjoyed being right on the river. Short drives to both great hiking trails and downtown Chattanooga. Snoopers Rock is a must see, absolutely amazing view.

Great location. We had a great time. Lots of room for everyone

Great place to stay. Lots of room for everyone. Beautiful view of the river. Grandkids loved kayaking and paddleboarding.

The view and cleanliness at this place was great, however, the reason for the 3 star review was for a few reasons. First, when we first arrived, it was hot in the home. I mean sweating hot and they have a lock on the thermostat so there is no way to make it cooler. I even notified the owner and all he told me was that it was hot at his house too. The second issue we had was that there was no water pressure when trying to take a bath. The third issue was that this place is dated, it needs updating bad. Was definitely not the 5-star experience they say in the information for this place.

This property was great for our family with young kids. The house was spacious and as described. Our kids loved the patio and waterfront/dock - fishing, kayaking, and swimming every day. The path to the house is windy, as noted, but not problematic and otherwise a short drive to downtown and other attractions. Thanks for having us.

We went to celebrate my dad’s 70th birthday and this property did not disappoint. We all left feeling refreshed and took home a lot of memories.

Quiet, relaxing home was perfect to spend time with family. Close enough to town that a day trip isn’t a huge ordeal.

We had an amazing time from start to finish. Fishing in the mornings leisurely boat rides to Chattanooga for lunch, all around a perfect week. Already planning our trip for next year.

A wonderful experience with family. The communication was excellent; host was responsive to inquiries. It was spacious and lots of bedding and towels for our large group. We fished everyday and used the kayaks. They have SUP too! Plenty of inner tubes so a large group can use the river all at once.

We enjoyed our stay here. The location is perfect for families - it's right on the river with plenty of yard to play in. It's also only 15-20 minutes to downtown and even less to grocery stores (food city and whole foods are super close), coffee shops and a handful of breweries / restaurants. My daughter and I loved using the kayak and had fun trying to spot the bald eagle that nests nearby. The house is stocked with kayaks, SUPs, paddles, and life vests. The home has a solid layout - 2 beds upstairs and a basement with bunkbeds and a playroom. Kitchen is laid out well but doesn't have a ton of amenities. The home broadly could use some updating to make it 10/10 but it's hard to judge a cabin based on paint, so still perfect marks in our book.

We loved it.

Wonderful property has everything we needed for a relaxing weekend!!!

I got married at Snooper’s Rock. This was a great location with a great view! We loved the quietness by the river. The only complaint we had is that there were dogs everywhere. One dog came on to the property multiple times during our stay, it was very nice but there were a few small children around. There were dogs that chased our car down the road a couple times as well. Overall, we couldn’t have loved the property more. The host did a great job making it feel like a home away from home. We will definitely make another trip to this area!

The location in relation to Chat and being right on the river is amazing! It’s so beautiful and peaceful. There were a couple of dead roaches laying around. The layout of the house is awkward in that the entrance is on the second floor, up stairs, but you can’t get to the river or yard from the ground floor, you have to go up Stairs and then down again. So there are a lot of stairs. And the inside is a little dark and outdated. But it’s a wonderful place nonetheless! We put our jet skis in at the boat ramp a couple miles up river. The road to the place is extremely narrow and curvy so carrying a trailer can be tough. Would stay here again!!

views of river were great! enjoyed coffee on porch. children enjoyed paddle boards and I (grandmother) enjoyed them paddling me around. A+ place

Overall we enjoyed this property! The backyard space, porches and use of kayaks/paddleboards were the highlights. Close to hikes and not far from the city. Kitchen was well-appointed. My BIL planned to sleep on the futon but when we got there it did not look comfortable enough so he shared the bunk room with another family. The king bedroom smelled a little musty and there was a fair amount of dust in the corners and on top of some surfaces throughout the house. There were a couple dead cockroaches on the property but we were honestly surprised that there weren’t more bugs since the house was pretty surrounded by nature. Some pretty sunsets! Nice place to stay as long as your expectation isn’t for it to be immaculate or recently updated.

5 of us adult siblings/inlaws (2 couples & 1 single) recently stayed here for a week. The gorge view from the back deck was utterly beautiful & peaceful, serenaded by a symphony of diverse birdsong all day long. And the deck itself was brilliantly designed, its clever roof allowing light and airflow, and yet keeping one dry even during significant rainfall. The only thing missing was an outdoor outlet, to plug in a fan on a breezeless, warm afternoon. We rented a pontoon from the wonderful folks @ the downtown Erwin Marine, and it took only 37 mins (@ 25 mph) to get it back to the house - a pleasant, pretty trip along the river. The house itself was spotlessly clean, and well supplied with towels and linens. The kitchen was fairly well stocked with most of the necessary cooking tools, pans, and pots. Plenty of plates, silverware, coffee cups, and glassware. The single adult slept in the LL bunk room. Not ideal for an adult (crinkly plastic mattress cover under the sheets, low headroom, and no place to sit to put on socks or shoes - and dark as tar at night), but it was fine for 1 week...after we got some plug-in LED nightlights lol. The LL bath is very pretty, but could use a couple towel rods for damp towels - there are only 2 hooks. We all enjoyed our stay here, and had a relaxing, peaceful, fun time.
