Our Favorite Things About This Home:

Not only does this home reside in a stunning location, but it is also VERY conveniently located only 12 minutes from Downtown Chattanooga! You will love the open-concept floor plan with wood tongue and groove vaulted ceilings in the living room, kitchen, and dining room, as well as on the back balcony deck spaces. Enjoy the gas fireplace and 6-person hot tub as you relish in the luxurious accommodations of this home! Take in the phenomenal 180-degree views from the hot tub and enjoy the impressive theater room with a projector, full double bunks, and an arcade game!

There are 4-5 adorable friendly goats that come right up to the back porch of the A-Frame down by the hot tub. You are welcome to pet them and love on them through the fence! We leave a complimentary bag of grain for our guests to feed them during your stay. Ring the bell and they will know you have grai



Home Layout:

As you come in the front entryway, on the right is the laundry room, and on the left if the Queen bedroom with a Smart TV and walk-in closet. Directly across from the bedroom there is a full bathroom with a standing tile shower. As you continue down the hallway, you will find the open concept living room, kitchen and dining area with vaulted tongue and groove ceilings and instant views of the mountain scenery.

This bedroom offers glass sliding doors to capitalize on the views and through those doors is a back patio with a 6-person hot tub with more 180-degree views!



Guest Access:

Guests will have access to the whole entire home.



Getting Around:

Uber and Lyft are not always reliable in the Chattanooga area, so we recommend having a vehicle to fully enjoy everything the city has to offer!



Other Things to Note:

1. PARKING! MAX amount of parking available on the asphalt pad is for 3 larger vehicles. There is no street parking since this property is on the bluff and sits right off Ridgeland Road.



2. DOGS- This is the ONLY dog friendly A-Frame for up to 2 dogs max under 50lb. You will be responsible for following all of our dog, friendly rules including: NO dogs on any furniture including the beds, dogs must be leashed at all times outside of the home, Dogs MUST be crated if left in the house without supervision.



3. There is an older gentleman that lives across the road and he loves to keep watch over the neighborhood. He is very kind and may say hi during your stay! He has lived on this road his whole life and these A-frames are brand new construction.



4. This cabin located right off of Ridgeland rd in order to maximize the incredible views. This is a very rural area and you may see wildlife such as deer, raccoons, hawks, the lonely coyote and neighboring dogs during your stay. 



5. There is a Ring Doorbell on the front door.



6. If you plan on using the hot tub, you will need to bring your own hot tub towels!



7. LADY BUGS: Since this home was built in the spring, it was the perfect opportunity for lady bugs to inhabit the house. Most, if not all, homes in our area have a few lady bugs that find their way inside. To stay ahead of this we are on preventative monthly pest control maintenance for all of our properties. Unfortunately they are still VERY hard to get rid of! Thankfully, they are harmless! But please know you will most likely see ladybugs in the home during your stay.



Weather and Outages!

As advertised, there will be no refunds in the unlikely circumstance that there is a power outage during your stay or if the weather is not cooperating. We do not have any control over the weather or outages caused by nature! We highly suggest you purchase travel insurance to be preventative in case something happens and you need to cancel.
