Bluegrass Highway ~ Creek & River Nearby ~ 8 Miles to Downtown
Enjoy a unique retreat at Bluegrass Highway - a comfortable cabin for road warriors looking for a one-of-a-kind stay just 7 miles from Prentice Cooper State Park & 8 miles from downtown Chattanooga. Folks towing toys, we’ve got you covered with plenty of parking on our property for your trailer. Right here in Suck Creek Canyon, we have swimming holes, hiking, paddling, fishing, and climbing too. So come on in, pick a little on the banjo, and have a great time relaxing after a big day exploring!
The Space: Bluegrass Highway is easy to access, just off the road, on our 30+ acres of forested land. Given our location and all the choices for activities nearby, your biggest problem will be deciding how to fit it all in. You could stay here at the nature retreat and explore the land, relax by the creek, or sit on the deck. Or you could head to all the trails in Prentice Cooper and/ or to downtown Chattanooga in under 10 minutes.
We have a fully equipped kitchen with everything you'll need including pots & pans, dishes, cutlery, coffee, tea, spices, an electric range & oven, microwave, French press & drip coffee maker. Our living room, with a unique round window that's perfect for bird watching, has a couch that transforms to accommodate a twin sleeping space. Upstairs has a bedroom with a queen size bed, windows overlooking Suck Creek with a view of Signal Mountain, reading chairs, and a smart TV. Also upstairs is the bathroom with a giant walk-in shower with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash there for you. We have a small washer & dryer for your use as well.
Bluegrass Highway is one of four cabins on our property where our family has been working for years to create a rare space for our guests to enjoy. Each cabin was either built by us from local materials or remodeled by us to be a unique space for you!
Guest Access: You are free to explore all around our nature retreat. We have over 30 acres of forest with trails and creeks throughout.
Bluegrass Highway is one of four cabins at our nature retreat. We would love for you to stay at all of them! You can find links under my host profile for more information.

The cabin had everything we needed. We enjoyed two days of hiking and wound down by the fire outside in the evening. Susanna was very helpful and responsive.
This charming cabin had everything we needed to make our getaway perfect.Susanna was fantastic-great communication, very responsive, and very helpful with recommendations.We highly recommend this property and hope to return again soon!
Loved staying at the cutest little cabin. The big window in the living room area was my favorite! My husband and I had the best time on our little getaway trip!
We had a great stay at the Bluegrass Mountain Gem. The host was very communicative, and check-in and out were simple as described in the listing. We would definitely visit again!
Very impressed with how clean the cabin was from the sheets/bedding to the dishes/floors. Excellent central location to all of the hikes and scenic lookouts. Host was very helpful and communicated effectively.
We had a lovely and relaxing stay at this beautifully designed property. The small space was so thoughtfully laid out and decorated. The location is very close to everything you might need. Thank you
We were in the area to visit our son and his family in Signal Mountain - this cabin was perfect for us. It's so cute, clean, charming and funky! We loved watching the woodchuck in the morning, being in the woods and hearing the birds. Thank you for a great experience - we'll be back!
The property was natural and welcoming! It was a delight to see the little members of the forest school!! The cabin was cozy and everything we needed! Convenient to parks, trails and river and we loved Drifters!! We recommend and look forward to a return visit! Thanks Susanna and Andy for your hospitality!!
Boyfriend & I loved the property! Even though it says mini cabin, it feels bigger in person. It’s the perfect location if you want to enjoy nature. There’s several trailheads and launch sites to kayaking or boat close by too. It wasn’t noisy and at night you can hear Suck Creek from the porches.

Thank you for your review, Mia. While I appreciate your desire to have a TV downstairs, I thought carefully about the layout and design of this cabin. What makes it so unique is the large round window and sitting area for viewing the surrounding forest and mountains. I felt a TV would take away from this beautiful space. And thank you for the note about the chairs - I actually JUST bought new ones. I'll add lights to my list! I appreciate your feedback and hope you return!
I give my guests space but am available when needed. I am happy to answer any questions and provide recommendations. We love Chattanooga (born and raised), so we're always excited to share what this place has to offer. We also live nearby and can be available if needed.
Why they chose this property
My husband and I built the Mini Cabin using materials sourced from the surrounding land and are excited to share it and our beautiful property with others. You won't find anything else like it - 25,000 acres of forested backyard & so close to all Chattanooga has to offer.
What makes this property unique
Our property backs up to Prentice Cooper State Forest and its over 25,000 acres of semi-protected land. There are limitless adventures to be had just out the front door. AND downtown Chattanooga is an easy15 minute drive from the Mini Cabin. So, when you're done exploring the woods or Chattanooga's innumerable attractions, you'll appreciate coming back to the comfort of the Mini Cabin to relax and unwind.
