The kids and even us parents loved the pool during our stay! The only thing I missed while researching the home was the rooms are located in different parts of the home.

Great Weekend Getaway

We had a great time. The property is rustic but felt like a beach bungalow. The pool was great but I would like to have dedicated stairs or a ladder to get out and in. Would definitely revommend if you need to unplug and relax.

Wish the pool was ready.

The pool had a chemical reaction and we were unable to swim, however, Jerry made it right with us. He is very nice, talented, and we found him to be quiet pleasant.

Romantic Getaway!

Check in was simple! Pool was ice cold. There is no oven in the house. House was clean. Deck does have a few mushy places that need to be repaired. Overall wonderful stay!

We really enjoyed the pool, which was cold and perfect for the summer heat. It was quiet and peaceful. We felt relaxed and comfortable. There is a couch in the living room even though the photos do not show it. The hang gliders were fun to watch as well.

The pictures made it look better than it was. The trees needed to be cut back and some repairs needed. It was not very clean and had roaches. Someone was walking around on the deck that leads inside to the house and the back room when we got back from town. She said she was checking the berries.

Weekend getaway

The kids absolutely loved the pool and the location is gorgeous. Communication was prompt with property owner and check-in easy. The cabin is an older cabin and definitely on the rustic-side so not for some one expecting an updated, pristine experience, but it worked for us for the 2 nights we stayed.

We were interested to see tha hang gliders takin off but the sound gets tiresome. It’s not like that at night, so it wasn’t a problem. It’s also cool to watch. The property is remote and lovely. We enjoyed our stay.

Nice little place

We came down for a couples weekend, spent most of our time at Ruby Falls, Rock City, the aquarium, and several restaurants Chattanooga had to offer. Basically used the house to sleep. Unfortunately didn’t even get to use the pool that we asked about being ready to use. Interesting house with plenty of memorabilia of the owner on the walls and a available to listen to. Hang gliding air field within 200 yards of house but surprisingly didn’t really create a noise nuisance. All in all a nice stay.

Great value

Property was hard to find and parking was limited. No wifi as advertised. 2nd bedroom and bath not connected to main house, could have been problematic with wanting to use second room with children.

I do not recommend staying here. There are no blinds or curtains in the downstairs main living room/kitchen area, we found roaches in the silverware drawer, pool is slimy, banister dry rotted, some planks in deck are mushy, bedrooms are dark and have an eerie feeling, and much more. The vegetation is overgrown and the fire pit and picnic table are covered in moss and don't appear to ever have been used. We left 2 days early and have had no response from the host. My sister and I are primitive campers so we are not bougie, but we do expect safety, especially when there is a lot of traffic on the road directly next to this place. The door/window does not lock AT ALL. What was real creepy is we noticed when leaving a bench in the woods where you could sit and have a perfect view of the activity inside this house since there are no blinds or curtains to the downstairs windows. Creepy! I think the pics says it all. This would work for a frat party or a bunch of fisherman, but no one else. Pass on this!!
