We loved everything about the cabin! Very clean, fully stocked, we had our own washer and drier, and our own hot tub! They also left us a binder full of local recommendations on restaurants and attractions which we appreciated. And all of their recommendations were a 10/10! Another nice feature was that we had every streaming service imaginable available to watch totally free on their roku tvs. No cheap cable like in a hotel room. The cabins are also an extremely close drive to downtown and the major attractions of ruby falls and rock city. But far enough away that you still feel like youre in the woods. Highly highly recommend!!!!!
Clean and well furnished. Perfect for a couple. Conveniently located to explore the sites and attractions of the Chattanooga area. Restaurants, hiking trails, Lookout Mountain and Ruby Falls were all within a 10-20 minute drive.
Great experience, nice cabins, very convenient and comfortable location
We stayed here for our baby moon and it was perfect close to everything but secluded and so cute!
Great visit and accommodations!
This was the perfect place! Everything was well maintained and clean. The hot tub was amazing and the cherry on top of an amazing stay. Highly recommend staying here
This was a clean environment. Family friendly with a playground. Train went through quietly and didn't hear it at night. The first night we stayed it stormed bad enough to knock down limbs and trees. The property managers was quick to react with the cleanup and it was all clear the same day. They was concerned about the well being of the visitors and check to make sure everyone was ok. I will definitely stay again.
I would recommend staying in Ernie Unit. It is at the back of the neighborhood and only has one neighbor. The unit has a lovely view of the forest! I would stay again. Well maintained and Great Location!
We loved our cabin. It was very clean and met all our needs. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. Its tucked away nicely from the hustle and bustle of city life. Yes, there is an active train track close by but we were not phased by it at all. We will definitely book here again!
We have visited Chattanooga a few times. Great new way to stay! We were so close to downtown, only a few minutes away. Quiet and relaxing. Nice change from busy hotels!
This tiny home resort is the perfect combination of private mountain stay and convenient location! What a great gem!
Great time close to downtown in a good area
Everything was great. Easy access upon arrival. Very very clean. Love the front patio with the hot tub in the back. A/C works greats as I am a person that has hot flashes at night so I like it cold. This cabin is far enough away that the train is not that loud. Liked that you they offer hand soap in the kitchen and bath room. I was worried my husband was going to be to tall he is 6'5 but he could stand in the shower though he said he didnt have much head room. The kitchen had everything you need if you did want to go out and cook. The cabin was close to everything. Most definitey coming back.
Check in went smoothly, cabin was everything we expected and more. Thanks so much for a wonderful experience!
The house was just as described. The location was quite and convenient. We would love to come back and stay again.
Nice cabin. No view. So many weeds for walking my dog. No steps into the hot tub for a woman that walks with a cane. But inside is very very nice. I would stay again
Great Central location. Tiny Cabin was very spacious. Clean and tidy. 5 star stay.
The Ernie was a lovely tiny cabin. Very well appointed for the two of us! We chose the location for it's proximity to my cousin's brewery! It was our first time in TN, and the entire experience was great!
The property was clean, well apointed and laid out
