The property turned out to be better than expected. The owners are very nice people and live next door. The property is along the river and the house is very quiet and tucked away. We really liked that we could drive 10-15 minutes to go do something touristy in Chattanooga or the Lookout Mountain area and then come back to the peace and quiet of the river house. My son was delighted with fishing off the dock. By the second or third day, I was really enjoying drinking my tea in the morning while looking out the window and watching the river go by. We would definitely go back again. It was just the three of us, but a larger family could stay here comfortably. It is a pet friendly property-they have friendly dogs on the property, but we didn’t bring ours since we knew we’d be leaving our dog alone too long.

This peaceful place is a generational home with changes make through time with little quirks here and there. Yet it remains a "home" with front yard picket fence, large shady trees, overlooking beautiful views of the river and mountains. Laura and Delon were very kind and helpful hosts, living next door in his grandparents home place. Although they were close by, they were very respectful of our privacy. Extended family stayed in another rental a half mile from us and we all enjoyed a wonderful time together - 4 generations within our group and 3 generations in our extended family group. Several enjoyed fishing, with a few nice sized bass and catfish, also some bream. Thoroughly enjoyed our time together - just too short! Thanks for such a nice place to stay. It was like home.

Amazing property! If you are looking for a river house search no more. This house is on a stretch of the Tennessee river that is unmatched. Nestled in between two large foothills and is glass smooth most of the time. The house itself is wonderful. The owners actually live right next door and are very responsive to anything we needed. Would highly recommend this property!

Perfect oasis near Chattanooga

We traveled to Chattanooga for a short vacation and chose this property for it's proximity to downtown and the benefits of the natural surroundings. The stay was perfect. Perfect layout for 4 teens (stayed downstairs) and 2 parents (stayed upstairs). Plenty of room for everyone. Perfectly peaceful. We enjoyed movie night, puzzles, and board games in addition to canoeing and kayaking. We would have enjoyed the fire pit if it hadn't been so hot during our stay. Hosts were incredibly helpful and accommodating. All amenities were provided. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic Property and hosts!

The house is amazing with such a peaceful ambiance. Plenty of things to keep you occupied on rainy days, puzzles, games, as well as sitting on the deck and watching the rain dance on the river. Our dog also throughly enjoyed her stay and the property is perfect for pets. Delon and Laura are awesome hosts with a wealth of local information. Thank you for a great place to stay and awesome grounds.
