The Cavern on The Green. A unique hand-carved home. Quiet, great views
This hand-carved stone cottage has a ruins-like exterior and continues the theme as you go inside. Its well decorated cavern interior will wow you with its thoughtful layout and interesting construction technique. On the main floor there is a full kitchen with concrete counters and dining bar, a sitting area with comfy chairs, a bathroom with a large tile shower and a bedroom with a queen bed and a private porch with a view of Lookout Mountain. Up the stone steps, you'll find a sweet bedroom loft with a full size bed and lots of windows with great views. Say hello to Tlaloc, the Aztec god of Rain and "that which sprouts" on the way up the steps. Everyones' first word upon entering is "wow!" We never get tired of that and we're proud to be able to offer travelers a unique, clean, well-lit, luxurious cave dwelling
The Cavern on The Green is our second of two hand-carved, ruins style cottages. The other, the Bedrock Cave Cottage (vrbo# 971299) is next door. The two cottages sit in the middle of a twelve acre property and are situated such that each cottage has private areas outside. There is ample room for outdoor events and its a pretty sweet setup for an outdoor party with choice of bonfire sites.
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.

It was super cute! The host responded and help me with any questions I had. It was so peaceful! No tv so made kids spend time together playing games and talking. We didn’t want to leave!
The host was very welcoming and helpful. We couldn't figure out how to work the air conditioning and I emailed him a question. Within minutes he was at our unit to help us with it. The beautiful cabin was very well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, spices and seasonings, towels and other necessities. We parked and didn't have to go anywhere the whole weekend. Everything was clean and tidy. The hot tub was wonderful!
Very unique property! My only negative would be seating in the living room, and maybe some sort of guide for the barn door on bathroom. Hot tub felt great, beds were comfortable. Great for a girls weekend.
The location is very quiet, and secluded. While they host did provide directions, we didn't check in until after dark. Some sort of low lighting, lanterns, would have gone a long way to find our way to the house as Maps didn't know where it was. A TV would have been nice to have, at least in the master bedroom, for night time wind down.

Great Stay
This was a great place. Everything went very smooth and this is a beautiful place.
This place is on a beautiful piece of land looking up at Lookout Mountain. The house is unique, the hot tub was great, and we loved seeing bunnies out munching the grass of the sloping hills. Highlight was watching ultra lights haul hangliders up over the mountain and soar down, over and over, right from the hot tub!
The property was exactly as advertised, and very clean. Rick sent great instructions on how to get there - a must since we arrived very late and wouldn't have found it without (would be no problem during the day). Short drive to Cloudland Canyon State Park, and Chattanooga. A great weekend! Can't wait to stay again.
