From family reunions to business trips to romantic getaways, whatever brings you to Chattanooga, Kai Cabin at Wauhatchie Woodlands is perfectly situated to act as your home base.

Once an old trailer park, the May family has lovingly rehabilitated this 14-acre property at the base of Lookout Mountain into a tranquil retreat, surrounded by forest. Wauhatchie Woodlands offers a natural escape just minutes from beautiful Downtown Chattanooga, blending modern comfort with a unique rustic experience.

Chattanooga has been recognized by Outdoor Magazine, Southern Living, Tripadvisor, Thrillist Zagat and many more media outlets as a must-visit destination for travelers of all kinds.

You’ll be staying less than a mile from one of Tennessee's most popular attractions, Ruby Falls, and just over five miles from Rock City.

If you’re craving the great outdoors, you’ll find no shortage of hikes, waterfalls, overlooks, and historical sites, all within just a few minutes of your cabin. A short walk from the property is the Skyuka Springs trailhead, which will connect you to Sunset Rock, Point Park, the Chattanooga Nature Center, and more. Raccoon Mountain Caverns are only 4 miles away and offer both walking and wild cave exploration tours. If you’re here for rock climbing, you’ll be less than a mile from Sunset Rock Climbing Crag, with Tennessee Wall and many other climbing spots just a few miles away. Located right off the Tennessee river, a day on (or in) the water is close at hand, with several conveniently located boat drops and ample opportunities for rafting, kayaking, or SUP-ing.

Less than 10 minutes away, Downtown Chattanooga offers world-class dining and entertainment options for all ages. Visit the Tennessee Aquarium, voted one of America's 10 best by USA Today. Enjoy a bite to eat at the historic Chattanooga Choo Choo complex which includes a brewery, distillery, several restaurants, and an array of seasonal activities. For a fun afternoon, visit the Selfe Museum, hit some balls at Top-Golf, or take one of Chattanooga’s pedal bike brewery tours. Experience culture and panoramic views from the Bluff View Arts District and Hunter Museum of American Art. Stroll across the Walnut Street pedestrian bridge and explore local shops in the quirky Northshore neighborhood.

If history is what attracted you, Wauhatchie Woodland sits a stones throw from the site of the decisive Civil War “Battle Above the Clouds.” The property is bordered by National Park land, preserving the historic battlefield. Point Park, at the top of Lookout Mountain includes several Civil War memorials and an interpretive center. The area has long, rich history dating back thousands of years to the early Cherokee people who called the mountain Chat-a-nu-ga, the city's namesake.
You’ll have your cabin all to yourself during your stay. Wauhatchie Woodlands is a 14-acre property surrounded by National Forest. Guests have access to trails around the grounds, as well as shared pavilions, community fire pits, and playground. Please be respectful of other guests during your stay.
Wauhatchie Woodlands is a family-owned collection of quaint, tiny-home, rustic-comfort log cabins on a 14-acre wooded property surrounded by National Park land. This natural setting is nested less than a mile from the city with quick access to downtown Chattanooga, Ruby Falls, Lookout Mountain, and the surrounding area.

Named after the second May boy, Kai Cabin is equipped with everything you could ever need to make the most of your time in Chattanooga.

Kai is one of our bunk bed cabins, perfect for families. During your stay, you’ll enjoy a private hot tub, furnished back deck, fire pit, covered front porch with charcoal grill, and an incredibly memorable, charming space surrounded by nature. Kai can comfortably sleep up to 6 guests between the main bedroom, built in bunk beds, and sleeping loft. The cabin is equipped with a full kitchen, smart TV, and more.

Starting from the back, you’ll find the fully furnished deck, surrounded by decades-old trees, there awaits a space of pure relaxation, your private hot tub, with easy access to the main bedroom. Just beside the cabin is the shared fire pit and pavilion, perfect for fireside chats and evening s'mores. Firewood can be purchased on-property.

Inside, the main bedroom hosts a queen bed, closets for hanging clothes, lots of drawer storage, and a Smart TV. Just outside the bedroom are the built in bunk beds across from the full bathroom with bathtub.

A step further we enter the kitchen, fully stocked for cooking/dining with an electric range, microwave, stove, full-size fridge, dishwasher, and all the dishes you need to whip up a vacation feast. The living room and kitchen feature an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings with the main TV across from the sofa.

Up the staircase is the sleeping loft equipped with two twin beds. Kids will love having their own space. For grownups, clearance in the loft is low, just 4' - it’s perfect for sleeping, just watch your head when you get up.

The cabin’s covered front porch with dining set is the perfect place for a morning cup of coffee, or grilling out on your dedicated charcoal grill (guests must provide their own charcoal).

We are pleased to allow dogs at Kai Cabin, under specific terms and conditions. See our pet policy for more information.

Great vacation cabins
This was a great find and place to stay. Convenient to all the tourists attractions in the area. I would definitely stay here again when in the area. The cabins had everything that you could possibly need. Plus, we loved the hot tub.

Kai cabin short stay
We stayed here for just 2 nights. It was a nice little get away. The inside of the bathroom was our one complaint because the flooring could cause serious damage to someone’s foot. For the price paid I expected the bathroom to be more upgraded. The rest of the cabin was great. Nice hot tub, kitchen with at least coffee amenities. (I would’ve added tea to their list of amenities) the upstairs loft is short and good for kids. We came with our one adult friend who is 5’1 so she managed. Our first night was great in temperature but our second night we had a rough sleep because it was quite hot inside for some reason. Overall we enjoyed our stay because it was clean but our experience should’ve been a bit smoother. This is in comparison to us traveling and staying in other accommodations. Still gave it a 5 star review but there were definitely a few hiccups for those reading. The train was not an issue at all for this cabin. :)

Timberroot 2023
We stayed last year and absolutely loved the location, so book again this year with this cabin. Cabin was great, had everything you would need. The only thing was the bathroom floor needs a little repair. Tile coming up near door. Other than that, everything was great.

Quick Family Getaway
I would recommend this cabin and booking service to anyone looking for a great experience for relaxation. It was perfect for my family. We took a visit to Lake Winnie and it was not too far from the cabin. The communication and the cleanliness of the cabin was superb. We will be booking again for future visits.

Chattanooga's perfect stay
The whole campground was well taken care of. Located on the side of the mountain amongst the trees but so close to all attractions on our must see list. We loved being able to bring our dog on her 1st family vacation. She loved the cabin and all of the squirrels around the property. The cabin (Kai) was perfect. Hottub was nice and even came with a how to video. Kitchen had all types of cooking utensils. Soap and body care was provided. Extra towels. Check-in and out was super easy. Daily trash pickup was nice. My only complaint (very minor) was the enterance to our parking spot was a little rough. Maybe need some dirt or rocks to fill the holes. We absolutely loved staying here. I will definitely be recommending the campgroud to any family/friends visiting the area.

About the host

Hosted by Timberroot Rustic Retreats

Host profile image
I have loved world travels my entire life; though as father of 8 kids, our movements have been more limited of late. I am an entrepreneur and business owner, lover of history, plants, nature, my faith, philosophy, and my family. We love Chattanooga for too many reasons to list, but also cherish variety and the beauty so many places in the world have to offer.

As hosts, you will find us responsive and accommodating and eager to share the treasures of our town and learn the treasures of your own. We know the trails, many waterfalls, parks, restaurants, and attractions of Chattanooga quite well and are willing to be a resource for our guests, offering an intimate knowledge of the area.

As a traveler, on business I tend to work, read and rest if I can, and prefer to travel with associates or family when I can. As a vacationer, I am eager to share and celebrate the diversity of creation and humanity with my family and to give them an explorers heart, a warmth for difference, and a bit of zeal for travel too. I prefer National Parks to cities, but cities carry their own attraction. I prefer mountains to beaches, forests to fields, and local to corporate or suburban.

Why they chose this property

This was an old trailer park. We saw great potential for it, as a gem of a natural setting so incredibly close to the city. We offer a natural escape right on Lookout by the beautiful city of Chattanooga with unique and modern rustic comfort for the perfect mountain side stay.
