Tennessee Riverfront Cottage, HOT TUB on 3 Acres

Tennessee Riverfront Cottage on 3 acres with a community boat dock! This 4 bedroom 3 bathroom home is perfect for a relaxing vacation. Enjoy the beauty of the Tennessee River that is situated between mountains. This home is great for families with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy nature. This home is also ONE LEVEL, making it easy to navigate for all.

Is it the open space of the kitchen, dining, and living room or the large windows that capture waterfront and mountaneous views that draw you in here at our Riverfront Cottage? We're not sure, but can tell you both are worthy. This space is great for quality family togetherness time.

The cottage also has plenty of outdoor deckspace, perfect for grilling or watching the wildlife around you. The semi-wrapped around deck offers noteworthy morning views that with pair well with your coffee and a wonderful space for evening conversations.

There are hours of explorations to be had whether on land at nearby Prentice Cooper State Park, the Cumberland Trail, and "T-wall" Rock (considered the 4th best rock climbing location in the world) or on the water freshwater fishing, kayaking, or paddle boarding.

If you're a local or have rented a boat during your stay, there is a community boat dock.

Check-in is easy and without human contact with our smartlock.

Very nice cabin and owner communication was great. I would stay her again and recommend it to anyone. One thing to note, if you are coming by boat, and plan on using the boat pier to keep your boat, the water is very shallow and the water level goes up and down.

Birthday Getaway

The house was lovely and exactly what we need for a calm birthday celebration. The property, house, and even the drive in were lovely. We specifically got river front property so we could kayak. The kayak launch was right outside the house, but only useable later in the day when the water was higher. It wasn’t a big deal at all to walk around the yard to the community dock. I would highly recommend this property for the river access if that’s what you’re looking for.

Great location for a relaxing stay

The house was great, located on a huge property with room to spread out and explore! We thoroughly loved all the extras the kitchen provided and the hot tub was perfectly placed on the deck just off the side bathroom for ease!

Great Family Getaway

We just left this house, I have to say I read reviews and was nervous about stuff being there so we took a ton based on one review. I have to say that had to be awhile ago because we had everything we needed! They even had a cabinet that had basic spices, flour, sugar, etc! They had a crockpot which my sister did use! The only one thing I would maybe bring would be a large pot to boil in if maybe you were doing a pot o chili or something. We had an age range 5-64. This place is truly a place to get away! Internet is great! TVs worked! Canoe available! Do take their advice and get everything you may need before you arrive, closest Walmart is about 35 minutes away, very close, but roads take a bit to travel on! Book this place for a true family vacation!

Beautiful place

This place is beautiful and a killer location right on the river, however there were a few issues we had while staying. The first was the cleanliness of the house. It wasn't terrible but it needed a deeper clean before we arrived. It seemed to have not been swept and there were fingernail clippings on the floor. The other issues were mostly that the house was bare bones. There were no trash bags, no coffee filters, no soap in any showers, among other things that were listed as being included but were not there. Contacted host and they helped me try to look for all that was missing but wasn't able to find anything. Would be a great place just needs a little more attention.

Charming and peaceful with breathtaking views

In 2020, my family and I visited the same area in TN and my kids absolutely loved it there. Recently, they mentioned that they'd like to visit again, so we found this charming stay with breathtaking views that accommodated all of us - my two kids and three of their friends. The space was ample, allowing us to roam comfortably. Since we didn't require immediate access to the city, the peacefulness of the area was perfect. Charla, the owner, was very accommodating and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend this place and we are already looking forward to our next visit.

Stay in Chattanooga

The 9 miles from downtown Chattanooga, doesn’t state “mountain miles”. It takes 45 minutes to get to house from downtown Chattanooga. There are lots of disturbing signs from Neighbors stating “go away, not welcome”. No exterior lights on property and very steep driveway to get to property. Once there the view is pretty, but the house was not cleaned well. Lots of dust and grime in counters and under beds.

Relaxing lakefront house

Property and house were as advertised and exactly what we needed for an extended family of 8 adults and 4 children from 4 families. The deck, fire pit and yard were great for activities. The lake and water were excellent for walking and fishing. The last 10-12 miles of road were slow going and I wouldn’t recommend traveling after dark, but our gps took us right to house.

The coziest cove in a mesmerizing valley

It is with a great sense of gratitude and excitement that I am writing this review, just as I return home from our stay in this beautiful property. It is a bit long, as words are not enough to share our short, but fantastic experience. We were a party of 10, looking to break up the long drive from Florida to Michigan. Having been to Gatlinburg a few times, we decided on Chattanooga. Browsing through rental properties on Vrbo, this looked like the perfect place to unwind in the midst of nature. We couldn't have made a better decision. From booking to checking out, everything was a breeze, and the first time we stepped out of the car and looked around.....we were totally blown away! Nestled in a beautiful valley, this property offers a stunning view of the Tennessee River, and the hills that embrace it, with a broad grassy shoreline that is perfect for gorgeous photographs, even for the most amateur photographers, because it is naturally saturated with colors. The house is neat, and well laid out. We were 3 families, and so, having 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms were great. The teens loved their privacy in the room with bunk beds. We were lucky to enjoy a thunderstorm from the rocking chairs in the balcony, listening to the crickets and the frogs, singing in harmony. We found amenities, even beyond what was described. The best was, the fibreglass canoe, which we took across the river, thanks to experienced friends in the group. But what topped of our stay, was a chance meeting with gracious hosts, Rebecca and Warren, and their lovely kids. Their hospitality was not just in words! When they learnt that our kids had not been on a speedboat, Warren took them on a joyride of their lives on the river. Upon return, he insisted on us, adults, not miss out on the experience, and took us on an exhilarating ride down the river. They really were SUPERHOSTS, who went above and beyond, to give us more than just a place to unwind from the tiring roadtrip; in fact they made this short stay into a memory to cherish. Coupled with a quick trip to Ruby Falls and Incline Railway, one in the group summed up this stay by exclaiming that, he had actually forgotten about the expensive cruise we had to the Bahamas 2 days ago! Will surely be recommending Rebecca,'s and Warren's coziest cove in the most mesmerizing Valley to our friends and family. Thank you Rebecca and Warren, for helping us create a wonderful memory!

Beautiful Views In A Quiet Setting

The views from the deck can not be beat! We spent time every single day sitting on the porch admiring the beauty of the mountains and the river. We also spent lots of time in the river. The community dock was a nice perk, giving our kids an easy way into the water. The current was very subtle, which was reassuring with our kids in the water. We kayaked nearly every day. The house was just the right size for our group and we loved the one story living. Beds were very comfortable! The owners were very friendly and responsive! As others have shared - be aware the road to get there is narrow and hilly/curvy and the driveway very steep. And you are 30+ minutes away from stores. One thing that might improve the property (and it is a minor thing) would be towel racks in the bathrooms. Overall, we would absolutely stay here again!

Awesome views…long drive to city

House was decent. Inside was clean. Outside could use some TLC. The views of the mountains from the house was great! Kids enjoyed feeding the ducks every night. The major downfall is the location in regards to Chattanooga city. It’s a LONG, hilly and windy road to get to town. And there’s no gosh fast or any way to go around it.
