Pros: large space, great view and back porch. Dog friendly. Location is close to downtown Chatanooga. Conducive to water activities and fishing. Cons: Low water pressure, water does not get hot. Outdated bedding/uncomfortable.

We had a great time. The cabin was clean and lots of space for the kids. It was nice to be right on the river with a dock and paddle boards, rafts to use. It was a nice little family getaway.

The property as a whole fit our family of 6 and 2 dogs as well. The fenced in yard was great for the dogs and privacy. We enjoyed the fishing and kayaking while my kids enjoyed the paddle boards. If we make a return trip to the area we would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed it. Great view. I do however wish the neighbor would keep his dog over at his own house. Hope to go back one day

Stayed here with some friends. It’s on the river and close enough to Chattanooga to go for eating and site seeing. Would stay here again.

Our family enjoyed our stay at The River Bunker. Our kids caught more fish than we could count. A pair of eagles circled the mountain each afternoon. We saw some boat traffic but it was not a busy stretch of water during our stay. The kitchen was well stocked for a rental property. We cooked every meal at home and had everything we needed. We had plenty of towels/linens and beds were comfortable. The road on which the house sits is very narrow and curvy but not as big a deal to us as others have mentioned. Its a 10 minute, two mile drive from the home to the main highway but worth the drive when you get there. Our concern driving in for the first time was not so much about the road conditions as it was with some of the neighboring properties which seemed rough. However, mixed in among the homes where you might expect to hear dueling banjos, are nice homes that appear to be new or newly renovated. After a day or two into our stay and few trips to/from the house, we began to feel very comfortable with the surroundings. My only complaint was with the HVAC system. The upstairs and downstairs were drastically different temperatures. The most balanced temps we could achieve was 73 upstairs and 59 downstairs. To get downstairs warmer, would make the upstairs unbearably hot. To make the upstairs comfortable, downstairs would be unbearably cold. Otherwise it was very enjoyable.

Fantastic location to enjoy the outdoors.

Great week

Home is very beautiful and the views on a nice day that sunrise is worth everything. Highly recommend it.

We enjoyed our stay! It was a nice getaway, nice views, and we had a great time!

We stayed here for Christmas weekend and we loved it! Great location. I was worried about the drive there, but it was fairly easy. Every time we needed to speak to the owner, he answered everything promptly. There were a few dogs who came on the property but they were really nice.

Our family enjoyed this home. Plenty of room for everyone. Communication with owner was easy. The view of the river is beautiful.

Stayed here for a work trip (travel to Chattanooga 1-2x a month) - we changed it up from doing a hotel… and it was just what we needed. Got a lot of work done on the porch- with an amazing view!! Hope to stay again!!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The owner was quick to answer my questions and made the whole process smooth. Everything was clearly laid out for us and made of easy for us to enjoy the backyard and river.

This home has a beautiful open floor plan that makes it easy to enjoy with family and friends! The view out the back was so gorgeous, relaxing and peaceful! Close to Chattanooga too! We would definately rent again.

Neighbor shot a gun multiple times in our direction because of our fireworks on the 4th. This guy is crazy !! Not a big fan of the 4/5 roaches In the house. Inside is dated, will not rent this place again .

peaceful and relaxing property with beautiful scenery. Perfect for our multi-family gathering

We had fun at the house. It was generally as advertised. The driveway is steep and leaving the driveway was a bit harrowing with cars zooming down the narrow road. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

It was super spacious and accommodating. We did a lot fishing and caught tons of catfish. The access to the water wasn’t great and not really a great swimming spot for kids which was disappointing but we made the best of it we brought a water mat. Tons of hiking and things to do around there . We did have about 4 different dogs come to the property a lot they were all nice but our kids were terrified. Overall it was an amazing stay

Wonderful relaxing retreat! Our family basked in the sun, refreshed in the shade, kayaked, played and had an overall blast! It was perfect! Be prepared as disposable supplies (trashbags & soap) are sparse in the home but all essentials are there. We cooked and ate in every meal...wonderful grill & a fire-pit (no wood though so prepare). Lots of wildlife and beautiful serene setting!

The house was clean, laid out well, fully stocked and a view that does not disappoint. Big yard and easy access to the river. We appreciated the beach towels and paper products that were provided. (I hate when you get only one roll of toilet paper for your stay! The owners provided plenty of TP, Kleenex and paper towels.). Great responsive owner. Easy drive into downtown Chattanooga (less then 20 min) We really loved everything about our stay here.

We enjoyed this property. Guys went fishing. We drove to dow town for the day then mostly hung out at house. Only problem was a very cranky next door neighbor.

We had a wonderful time with family. The view of the water and river were wonderful. It was a short trip into Chatanooga but we mostly stayed in and cooked. We made a bonfire and roasted marshmallows. My grandkids had a ball. It rained the whole time and the ground was muddy but we had fun playing outside too. The house is very spacious and there is plenty of room to get together. My only complaint is I could have used a casserole dish as I cooked most of the meals. The can opener didn"t work so we bought the kitchen a new one. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean and nice. We LOVED our stay.

The scenery was very beautiful overlooking the Tennessee River!! The homeowner was very helpful with recommendations for activities and dining areas around town.

This property functioned well as regards to number of bed and bathrooms. The downstairs bedroom can be entered from the ground level without climbing stairs with suitcases. We knew in advance we would be schlepping groceries and suitcases up a steep flight of stairs to the upper level. The backyard firepit and dock can be gotten to in only 2 inconvenient ways. Either you walk to the end of the driveway, accross the yard, down the side of the house and then down a steep hill OR you climb down 2 steep sets of stairs from the upper back deck. You can do it but we had smores at the firepit on Christmas day evening and carrying stuff down there was a pain. There is nice back porch under the upper back deck but you have to carry stuff down stairs to eat there and you cannot get to the backyard from the porch. These are not deal breakers. It is a nice vacation house. It is also a pet friendly property which is great. Our dog managed the front stair case when we took him out to walk him. We cleaned up after him religously of course only to discover other dogs in the neighborhood come over to use the bathroom on a normal basis! The grumpy sarcastic older gentleman who lives next door: his dog comes over and sleeps on the upper deck porch furniture daily. Then he had the nerve to yell over to us that he thinks he heard our dog whining.....of course he did!!! Our dog most likely saw his dog lazing on the porch couch right outside the big window where the dog kennel was inside the house. Other than that, we had no issues with neighbor. Be advised to drive the notorious last 3 miles in daylight the first time you navigate them. It is 25 mph and in places, 2 cars cannot easily pass on another. It was not an issue. We were there Dec 22 to Dec 29, 2021. We put up a nice artificial Christmas tree and cooked mainly at the house for evening meals. The kitchen is well stocked for a rental property. One challenge was that the house is located in central time, and literally everything we did was located in eastern time. Set your phone to stay on eastern time. Be aware that google maps auto switches whenever you criss cross into central. There is no way to set it to stay on eastern. You just get used to asking Central or Eastern? The only other thing we noticed was the basement has no heat. There was a space heater. We had brought extra blankets. We did not want to leave the heater plugged in overnight while the kids were sleeping in the 2 sets of double bed bunks.

The home was beautiful and in a beautiful setting. It's a little bit of a rough drive off the main highway, but the views are amazing. We had a wedding party stay here for the weekend for a wedding up on Signal Mountain so it was more of a base than a vacation home for us. We had plenty of place to sleep our guests and our dogs enjoyed the back yard. A couple of small issues we were able to fix ourselves, but nothing that melt us from enjoying the home. However, the current coffeepot takes forever to brew. Other than that, wonderful place to stay and I would definitely recommend it!

Nice place, right on the time change line and we were really only there for a few hours while preparing for a vow renewal.
