We stayed here to visit, the Tennessee aquarium, rock city and ruby falls. It was the perfect location to visit all three and not have to stay that far. A very relaxing visit for sure.

This place is located near many great things. There is a highway next to our cabin but we expected it. It didn't affect us much. It has it's own firepit and was just what we needed.

We stayed for a week. Enjoyed the location of the cabin with its proximity to attractions and food. It was a cozy place to come back to after a day out. Clean and no problems.

We stayed for 5 nights in the Thomas cabin. It was a cozy place to stay and so much better than a hotel room! This was our first time using Vrbo and we will never stay in a hotel again. It is virtually at the bottom of Ruby Falls, which I highly recommend taking the time to visit. It's conveniently located in the middle of restaurants, shopping and grocery stores, while being a little gem that makes you feel like you are in the woods far away from the city. Speaking of cities, you are minutes from Chattanooga so you won't run out of things to do.
No big complaints, just minor inconveniences. The toilet handle broke but I called and it was fixed. They left one trash bag for the kitchen and one bag for the bathroom trash. That clearly wasn't enough for a 5 night stay and we had to go out and buy some. The coffee pot didn't work but I cleaned and fixed it and we finally had coffee. And staying in the Thomas cabin you are close to the main road so you will have the constant hum of traffic. With that said, I enjoyed having a huge space to park and the extra privacy the cabin afforded because it was off by itself.
All in all, I would highly recommend staying at this property. All of the staff were super nice and respectful and easy to get in touch with. Amanda was extremely nice and helpful during our stay.
I recommend that anyone staying in the area stay here instead of a hotel. Our cabin, which was clean, spacious and modern, only cost $12 more per night than a decent hotel.

Can sleep more than I'd like to have to entertain in such a small space. With kids(which it's probably made more for) it would be less of a problem as they'd play in the loft some and outside as well. Don't expect to sleep and entertain 6 adults in that space though. But we really enjoyed our stay there and would use it again even for just the 2 of us. Had everything we needed for our trip.

5.0
Really well laid out cabin with plenty of space for everyone to sleep even though it is small. Whoever designed this place should get an award. Only negative was that our cabin was near the highway and there was an overpass that was loud. We scoped out the cabins down below for our stay next time as they are more secluded. Hot tub was nice and clean and the management even sent video instructions that were extremely helpful. We will definitely be back!

What a welcoming place! The cabin was a perfect stop for our family on our way home. They provide everything you need to stay! The boys loved sitting in the hot tub and looking out. I highly recommend staying. We are already planning when we can come back!

We were surprised to find quite a lot of play area at this cabin where our kids could run and play without being right by the road. Everything inside was clean and well stocked. We were convenient to local attractions but it was nice to feel more remote. We will be back.

The cabin was a perfect size for 2 adults and 4 kids. It made for an extra little fun element to the trip that our lodging was more than just a hotel bed! The cabin was stocked with everything we could need and plenty of towels! The kids really enjoyed the playground and the road/train noise really wasn’t noticeable inside and at night!

Great stay great communication
Awesome “tiny home” experience. As stated in description it can be a little noisy with the highway next to unit and railroads close by. Unit is somewhat “drafty” and it takes the heat units a while to warm up. Overall a great experience with many things to do nearby.

My husband and I go to the mountains every fall. We selected these cabins because we had never stayed in a tiny house . The location was more than convenient. The cabin was wonderful. The owners take real pride. They anticipated your every need. We had a great experience and we will recommend it to everyone

We only live an hour and a half from the property and it made a nice quick getaway during spring break. The house is really close to Ruby Falls and just up the hill from stores. Our kids thought we were on an episode of Tiny House Nation.

Wonderful stay!
Great, lovely, romantic, cozy & wonderful place to stay in and to celebrate our 25th anniversary. The only thing I would love them to change is....to have the hot tubs areas with more privacy, should be close and private...that way not everybody can see you!!!

Loved it!!
This was such a great place to stay. It was me, my hubby, and our golden retriever. But there was so much space- many more people could stay here! We especially liked the location of this cabin as it felt more secluded than the others. Noise from the train/ road was never an issue for us. Can't wait to go again!!

Unexpected cancellation
I pulled up to the cabin and there were two vehicles out front. Turns out the property had been booked on another popular vacation rental site as well for the same weekend. I called the owner Frank and he assisted in finding me hotel accommodations for my stay. He reimbursed me the difference in cost. It was disappointing as I was looking forward to staying in the cabin and possibly going for a swim in the hot tub! Oh well, better luck next time.

Lisa and I really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was perfect and we couldn't have had a better time.
Frank and Nicole were very accommodating when we had to change our dates due to a hurricane in our area. The cabin suited us perfectly. The area is convenient to all area attractions and restaurants.
Thanks again, we will be back!
