About this property

This cozy getaway blends into Lookout Mountain and emphasizes the beauty of the land inside and out. Every room draws natural light and calm. Convenient drive to all of Chattanooga's natural wonders, and a short distance from charming town life--minutes away from world-class hiking, biking, climbing, waterfalls, and hang-gliding.

The cozy master bedroom holds a king bed and golden sunset views over the bluff. The porch-side room soaks up the morning sun and has a queen bed along with an additional twin bunkbed. The kitchen is spacious and bright with plenty of room and gadgets for even the most adventurous meals. The great-room is the airy hub of the cottage, perfect for board games, curling up to read, or a healthy dose of Netflix and chill.

Access: The upstairs apartment is all yours! You will have free reign of the upstairs, second level deck, the washer and dryer downstairs in the garage, and the grounds. Be aware that the apartment downstairs is occupied by a long term renter, our good friend Sarah and her pup Timber. They have their own outside entrance and parking spaces so no worries on shared access to the home.

The smart TV has a blue-ray/DVD player hooked up, and Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, etc built-in. Check out the house manual for more entertainment details.

Host Interaction: Cherith, your host, will be available through the website messenger or by text or call.

Things to note:
-There is a small blue tiny home on our property that is also a VRBO rental (Lil' Haven) and you may see guests walking to/from their separate parking pad. Feel free to wave hello!
-EdenThistle is a few minutes away and provides dog kenneling services.

Getting Around: The cottage is located on Lookout Mountain's west brow. It is private and quiet here, but a convenient distance to all the fun that Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain have to offer. You are:
12 mi. from downtown Chattanooga.
2 mi. from the Lookout Mountain Flight Park hang-gliding
4 mi. from hiking and waterfalls at Lula Lake Land Trust
10 mi. from hiking and views at Cloudland Canyon State Park
5 mi. from the climbing and hiking at the Bluff trails
5 mi. to Covenant College
Check out the guestbook and binder for more local attractions, or send us a message for a "deeper cut" of fun stuff to do while you're here.

Georgia On Our Minds

This is a gorgeous property with the most AMAZING views of the valley below. Only twenty minutes from Chattanooga, it was so easy to drive to the city and check out all the usual tourist spots (make sure you eat at Puckett’s, Scottie’s On The River and Tony’s!) We had a little issue getting into the property but the owner was fantastic and fixed that straight away, as well as sending my laptop back to MS only a couple of hours after we left when I realized it was left there. You could spend hours if not days on the deck outside gazing at the view, especially the sunsets, which are out of this world. I can’t recommend the property, location and management enough!

Beautiful Property, Perfect for Families!

Our stay was great, even if some of the circumstances were not the best! We had 4 adults and two children under three, one of which got very sick. The cottage was perfect for allowing everyone to have a room to themselves AND let me take the sick baby in the living room to sleep on the futon without disturbing anyone. Incredibly spacious, the cottage was a wonderful place to decompress in between family wedding activities and the view was amazing. The back patio was a perfect spot to answer some emails or enjoy a drink. Like other reviews, it does take about 15 minutes to get down the mountain but the view is worth it every time. The host was great and even gave us an opportunity to check in a little early, which is always so helpful when travel with littles. My sister and her boyfriend were already eyeing the tiny home on property for their next trip!

Perfect for Us

The house was perfect for what we needed for our weekend getaway. Everything was clean and welcoming, the bed in the master was the most comfortable bed I've slept on, and the heated floor in the bathroom was so nice. The living room was a nice space for relaxing after a day out hiking. We very much enjoyed our stay. We didn't love knowing someone else was right below us and the access they had through the hall door, but it worked out. I'd suggest adding another form of a lock so the guests feel more comfortable knowing someone can't easily get to their space.

Gorgeous views & amazing cottage

We will definitely be staying here again if we make another trip to Lookout Mountain! The property was super cute, very clean, and had the most amazing views!! The room with bunk beds & a queen was perfect for all the kids. The king in the master was very comfy. But one of everyone’s favorites were all the “little” extra touches…mints & toiletries wrapped on towel sets, our name on chalkboard at front door, wine at front foyer, board games, etc. My girls keep talking about how cute the house was! Thank you!!

Ideal for a disabled person, even a kid in a wheelchair

After an eight-day trip across the Eastern side of the country and trying three different spots to lay our heads, this was our favorite. It had spectacular views and sunsets from the back patio. The home wasn't cluttered, hallways are wide, rooms large, and the back deck felt updated and safe. Although it wasn't a large home it felt large and homey. Beds were clean and comfortable. Everything felt very clean and comfortable. They even had general spices and condiments for you to use in case you stayed in and cooked. Also, for those of you with walking disabilities or wheelchairs, there are only two steps into the home and only one threshold onto the back deck! The walkway from the parking pad to the front of the house wasn't too steep and felt safe. No worries about slipping on it. I will definitely go back as soon as I can and take my son who is in a wheelchair.

Best of both worlds

My husband and I stayed here for an anniversary getaway, and it was perfect! It's in a great location if you want to feel like you're away from everything and have access to nature, but still be close enough to go to a nice restaurant for dinner. It's an easy 15- minute drive from Cloudland Canyon State Park, and about 30 minutes down the mountain into Chattanooga. The views from the deck are beautiful, especially at sunset. The house is cute and comfortable, and the bedrooms are spacious. There is an electric coffee maker and a French press, Netflix on the flat screen TV in the living room, fun board games, and nice linens and towels. Everything we needed to have a lovely, relaxing time!

Why they chose this property

We loved the potential! When we purchased the house, there were lots of renovations to be done, and lots of overgrowth, but the view was incredible. The close proximity of the hang gliding bluff, Covenant College, amazing hiking and mountain biking etc is a significant plus!
