Beautiful river cabin in the heart of the Tennessee River Gorge.
Beautiful place to take a break, in solitude,...fish, swim, no neighbors next door. Kayak rentals nearby. Just sit on the dock and enjoy the river, the view across the way, stars at night. Enjoy our peaceful woodland cabin in the heart of the Tennessee River Gorge with beautiful views of the river and gorge...Sit by the fire pit and watch the sunset roasting marshmallows or hot dogs...watch the barges, kayaks, and boats go by...or geese, waterfowl, and wildlife. After cooking out on grill...dine out on the spacious screened in porch overlooking the river. Gather together in the evening and play games or cuddling up next to the fire with a book and/or loved one. This is a restful place surrounded by nature with all its beauty. Kayak the river or hike nature trails to the Prentice Cooper State Forest (part of the Cumberland Plateau). Enjoy all this within 30 minutes of downtown Chattanooga to explore. Our 3 bedroom/3 bath (with bunk room and loft) will sleep 10...accommodating family get togethers. We welcome families, children, and pets (although need to be aware it is on the river- so safety for children and pets important). This cabin does rent through CRAIG's List. We have outside security cameras for parking area.

This home was gorgeous and the views were incredible. Very peaceful and secluded. This is one of the most well-stocked cabins I have ever stayed in. It included everything we could ever need in the kitchen. It does take about 30 minutes to get down the street out of the neighborhood but that is part of being secluded on nature. We loved all of the separate areas for guests to sleep and there was plenty of seating everywhere. Our family had a wonderful visit.
Our stay at this cabin was absolutely wonderful. Nestled quietly in the mountains, it offers the perfect balance of peaceful seclusion and convenient access to town. The setting creates a relaxing, getaway feel without sacrificing proximity to restaurants, shops, and activities.Upon arrival, the cabin was exceptionally clean and well-maintained, which immediately made us feel comfortable and at home. Every detail was thoughtfully prepared, and it was fully equipped with all the amenities needed for a cozy and enjoyable stay. From start to finish, it provided the perfect retreat, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing mountain escape.
We had a great time. It was right on the river which was wonderful. We had a couple of mechanical issues, but the owners were very responsive to questions.
Very beautiful and clean property! Well stocked with anything you might need to cook or play in the area. Host was extremely responsive and the view was spectacular. The only room for improvement was that we had to make some of the beds ourselves and the sheets and blankets were not very good or very many. It got cool in the evening so having access to more bedding and blankets would have been nice. Also, each registered guest got one towel- I totally understand the reasoning for this, but we had 5 girls with long hair so having some extra towels would have been very helpful.

Thank you for your review. We have plenty of extra blankets/quilts in the basement bedroom closet.
The cabin was very cozy and clean. The kitchen was stocked with everything we need to prepare and cook our food. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting around the fire pit at night.
This house is in a beautiful location. It is a 30 minute drive down a narrow, winding road but well worth it. The house was well stocked with amenities as well as being clean. It felt like a home away from home.
It is a lovely home on a beautiful property. The area is quiet and peaceful. While it is a bit of a drive to get anywhere, we already knew that from the very representative listing. The kitchen is well stocked with essentials and cleaning supplies. A great and comfortable get away!
The cabin was clean and maintained well. We loved the location and enjoyed the view of the river down by the fire pit. Highly recommend this cabin to all.
Had a wonderful stay with family! Enjoyed the majestic views of the mountains overlooking the tennessee river, while watching bald eagles, river otters, and wild turkey. Could not have asked for a better place to stay! Would absolutely go back and stay again!
It was a beautiful view and very nice cabin. Wish we could have fished and hung out in the river in front of the cabin but the weeds in the river made that impossible. We tried to rent kayaks but you definitely need to do that in advance they were booked! Regardless we really enjoyed our time here!
Great cabin with amazing views! Would absolutely go back and stay again!

We are retirement age and wanted a place to get away for us and family and share the quiet solitude with others looking to escape the rat race and social media craze. Relaxing by the waters edge of the Tennessee River. Also chose this location because of close proximity to multiple attractions.
