This was the perfect place for our mountain family Christmas. Great location between the city of Chattanooga and the quaint town of Dunlap. We were adventuring everyday, but came back each night to the festive house that had been decorated for the holidays. Weather was cool, and we enjoyed evening fires in the outdoor pit. The house had everything we needed, and Tanna checked in to make sure we were comfortable. She is an excellent host and we would certainly stay here again! Thank you, Tanna!

Amazing experience

We stayed up on the mountain and it was an amazing experience. It was a little little more time and effort to get down into the city just cause you’re on the top of a mountain, but the quiet atmosphere is totally worth it.
