FAQ's...

EARLY CHECK-IN & LATE CHECKOUT OPTIONS
We are at the mercy of the calendar! The only way to guarantee early check-in is by booking the night before. If you want to take a gamble, you can wait until 24 hours before check-in to see if our schedule allows for it. If a guest is checking out the day of your arrival or if we have scheduled maintenance, early check-in may not be possible.
Late checkout will depend on the number of hours requested and if there is another guest coming that afternoon.

Wedding weekend

We were guests at a wedding on a farm a few miles from here. We brought our 2 small dogs and there was a great wooded backyard for them to get lots of exercise. The house was stocked with everything we needed-even a dog bed and bowl!! The weather was cool so we spent most of our time on the covered porch. Highly recommend!

One with nature!

We loved this secluded tiny home! It was just what we wanted in the middle of no where and perfect. Upon arrival it was hard to figure out how to turn the heat on and the host gave us the wrong password for WiFi but we find the correct one on the WiFi box. We could have used directions for the heat the first night but they had an extra comforter and we eventually googled how to use the A/C heat. The tiny home has all you could need for comforts and the weather was amazing. You are about 1.5 hrs from Chattanooga and 30 mins from Alabama. Lots of cool places to explore and quiet at night. Thanks for a wonderful stay. I would suggest maybe a welcome book that gives directions for future guests.

Short Christmas get away

Short Christmas get away The cabin was absolutely spectacular a little bit hard to get to the location because the GPS stops but if you follow the instructions that the property manager sent you you will find a location. Very quiet very secluded very safe you really do not need to bring anything to the cabin the cabin has everything you need all you need to bring is whatever you’re going to eat. I will definitely book the cabin again it was the best getaway I’ve ever had
