50th anniversary getaway

This cabin was perfect as it was isolated and cozy, away from the city life. The dock is just feet away from the door where we could walk out and do fishing. It was a great spot and would definitely recommend if you are looking to unplug from the hustle and bustle and unwind.

Quiet Cabin with Beautiful Views.

We boated from Huntsville to these secluded little cabins just outside of Chattanooga. The property manager was very helpful and assisted us dock and undock our boat. We used the supplied canoe to explore the Tennessee River Gorge and hike Racoon Mt. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality.

Lovely Time Away

My spouse and I wanted to have a little unplugged time, and we picked this place on the Tennessee River. The drive to the island was lovely, through gorge alongside the river. Once at cabin 2, we settled in. It is cozy and feels warm with all the rich wooden paneling inside. It was on the shallow side of the river. There were fireflies in the trees, kayaks to paddle, and fish jumping morning and night. We went into Chattanooga, but, honestly, the best part of the trip was time spent on the island. Chuck, the owner, is a genuinely nice person. Quick story. We didn't know him, but the morning we left, it was storming and a tree had fallen across the road. I called and got some info from him, and he offered to help us out. He did, and made sure we stayed dry while he did a really neighborly thing for two people he hadn't met before. He even wanted us to text him to make sure we arrived back home in SC safely. Between his kindness and our refreshing away time, we feel recharged. We definitely will be back.

much needed time away

My husband and I were able to take a spontaneous trip and found this location. We were looking for a slow pace, relaxing, get away from everything. This is vacation to the cabins did not disappoint. If you would like to find a rustic, secluded, simple time then this is right where you need to be. The water is beautiful, the birds are chirping, and the fish are jumping (and biting). You are literally footsteps away from the water. If boating is more your speed don't worry Chuck has you covered. There are several types to choose from there on site. You definitely need to get away to this small peace of heaven. Thank you Chuck for your hospitality. Bill, Milo, and myself will be back in the fall.

Great place for a weekend getaway

We made these plans on a whim just a few days before and were very pleasantly surprised where we ended up. Chuck and Brad were so welcoming and wonderful. We were able to bring our dog and she ran around and played with their dogs. The rental comes with a boat rental so we all went out on a river adventure. The cabin is super cozy and private. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and there’s a washer and dryer which was an unexpected bonus. Chuck warned us and I’ll echo it: bring groceries with you. It’s a long way to the closest store, which is also a good thing if you’re prepared for it. The only criticism I have is that the kitchen needs a light in it. Hard stop. We’ll be back soon for the autumn colors.

Perfect Place to Get Away From Everything

I absolutely loved our stay at this little cabin in Chattanooga, the river was literally feet from our cabin and so serene. My 7 year old bathed nude on the front porch while watching fireflies in the trees (absolutely magical). They had canoes and kayaks we could use included in the cost and Chuck gave us some great places to visit while we were staying as well. The owner and property manager were amazing and so accommodating, the cabin was very clean… everything was absolutely perfect. I also read a review that the A/C didn’t keep the cabin cool which was absolutely false, there were days the temp reached 92 degrees while we were there and the cabin stayed perfectly cool. Great cabin, hosts, and experience 100% recommend!

Place is nice, but cabin 2 isn’t.

Ac doesn’t cool the sleeping area. Poor layout makes cabin uncomfortable. Rent 3 days get 4th free isn’t true . Oh the owner Chuck has a list of what your expected to clean. Lol Everything but the sheets. Lol

Little Hidden Gem

Very nice property, very clean. Great views quiet and pretty much exactly what I was looking for when we booked the trip. If you are looking for just a small cute cabin to get away for a short trip in TN this is the place. Will be even better when the Pool is completed. I would definitely come back when in the area again. Matt

Socially distant log cabin

Fantastic tiny log cabin #2! Beautiful mountain view! On the gorge that connects to the river, shallow enough to watch deer and their fawn walk across. Swimming, fishing and boating are just walking distance down the property. Owner lives near by and responds quickly to texts/calls.

MISREPRESENTED- NOTHING SHORT OF FALSE ADVERTISMENT!

My husband and I rent form home away 2-3 times a year, WE HAVE NEVER LEFT A NEGATIVE REVIEW....I really don't know where to start. To begin with IT IS NOT SECLUDED. There is a shack and a camper directly across the water. There is an old boat banked directly by the cabin. The owner lives within 100 yards and other cabins are with in eye and ear shot. The shower is not in the cabin. You have to go out on the porch and in another door. The room where the shower is has no heat, and isn't even fully enclosed. There is no kitchen sink, you have to go out on the porch to wash dishes or dump anything out. The cabin is much smaller then it appears. There was 2 wooden chairs and a round table. THAT IS IT. We had to sit on the double size bed to watch the tv, that was also small. The electricity to the cabin was a wire form the owners house strung over tree branches. The "jetted tub" on the front porch is not useable. I ran ONLY hot water and it filled it up about 1/4 of the way before the water turned ice cold. The check out policy is ridiculous. I am used to taking out the trash, putting the dirty linens in one place. He requested the microwave and small refrigerator be wiped out, the cabin and porch be swept, any "finger prints" be wiped off, dished be washed dried and put away, the garbage bags be replaced in addition to the routine procedures. the bathroom consist of a small toilet and sink the size of a football- not exaggerating. There is a window cut in the bathroom door so if you are using the bathroom someone could look in the window and see you. Lastly, the drive there was awful. There is no way you could drive it safely at night. We left first thing in the morning, thankfully we found somewhere else to stay. This place is nothing the add says it is. We have never had such an experience.

Anniversary Weekend

I must say this was a surprising treat! Beginner VRBO’ers and couldn’t have been any better. Chuck was available and went above and beyond to make sure we knew what to bring and provided anything else that we needed. Hiking- also for beginners, not far away! Had fun acting like fisher people 🤔! Very relaxing by the fire listening to NATURE! Bring extra blankets Knife for cutting meat Jumper cables- thanks again Chuck!! 🤦‍♀️
