About this property

Le Petite Chateau is a charming and beautifully decorated treehouse nestled on the side of Early Moon Ridge at The Candlelight Forest in Chickamauga, GA . Only 20 minutes from downtown Chattanooga, by way of a pastoral drive through the Chattanooga Valley, these accommodations are perfectly located to take in Chattanooga and the many surrounding attractions that abound nearby, including Cloudland Canyon State Park, Rock City, Ruby Falls, and The Chickamauga National Battlefield Park.

Perched in a beautiful canopy, Le Petit Chateau is built on a sloping ridge and provides for very safe and easy access, as its entrance is at ground level. Decorated by Atlanta design student, Sarah Grace Tatum, the theme is French Farm Rustic. A very airy and fresh theme, nuanced with old timbers and reminders of the Old World in the art and thoughtful knick knacks, helps transport you from the cares of everyday life.

Upon arrival, a short stroll through the woods (and after dark, under near-magical hanging moon lights) brings you to the front door of your home away from home.

A private queen bed nook, an open living area, a full bath, and a back porch provide the downstairs living experience. Up a two-tiered loft ladder, 4 twin beds and a darling half bath await the more adventurous up above.

Our own signature Canopy Kitchenette (TM) rounds out the experience. The back porch has a very simple kitchen that includes a stainless wash sink, concrete countertop, toaster, and a gas grill with side burner, all elegantly covered in the shade of an oversized umbrella. Dine upon our custom built-in fold-down table and antique wooden chairs.

Le Petite Chateau' combines the greatest of all vacation experiences - cooking outdoors with charming shelter to boot, cozy spaces for family fun, romance and the perfect home base to quickly access all the excitement that awaits in this enchanting mountain and valley that surrounds The Candlelight Forest. All of this is only minutes from vibrant Chattanooga.

great stay

we enjoyed our stay in the treehouse. just a couple of hicups but would stay again. we did not get a lighter with our smores to light the fire with. But they came quickly to our need! the lights need replacing around the fire pit as they barely come on and are worthless. Also we was not aware of no TV in the treehouse, which it might have said and I missed it. but no biggie and will stay again!! thank you!!

Forest Wonderland

We stayed here as a stop over on our way to Florida and our kids begged to go back for a longer trip. The treehouse was lovely and so much fun for kids. The extra activities were great. We loved the treehouse playhouse and the “rope boat.” We cannot wait to come back for a longer stay!

Great Fun!

We loved our stay in the treehouse! My two elementary-aged kids and I stayed for a couple of days and had an absolute blast in the treehouse and playing all over the property, from fishing to paddle-boarding to canoeing. My littles loved petting the animals, and we rented a movie outdoors one night. Our cabin was stocked with everything we needed and was clean and cool. We also loved the proximity to Chattanooga for additional adventures on the way home. We definitely hope to be back!

Fun

Fun property. Treehouse was great. Kids being born in Las Vegas have never seen lightning bugs (fireflies) tons of lightning bugs while we were there. Fun things to do on the property. Close to lookout mountain.

A Magical Place!

The treehouse, property, and activities are amazing! The kids had such a great time hiking, fishing, playing in the creek, and making smores. There's a faucet near the parking area, so we could rinse off our gear, and we left our shoes on the little porch to avoid tracking anything into the house. The outdoor kitchen was a lot of fun for meals. We also realized that when you start walking up the trail to reach the treehouses, there's a steep little shortcut for the adventurous, but the actual trail meanders to the left and then circles back toward the right to reach the houses. We are already planning a trip to come back and stay at one of the larger houses on the property next time!

End of Summer Getaway

This was a trip with our son before school starts back. He is 9 and all boy. Loves all the things outdoors! This was absolutely the perfect find and end of summer getaway for our family. We were able to watch him enjoy the weather and simply being a kid. The treehouse was adorable and had everything we needed. Loved the decor and the way it made us feel right at home. Candlelight Forest was picture perfect! We ventured out into Chattanooga and did some touristy things but were always glad to return to the treehouse. We hope to return!!

Unique experience

Tired of staying at cookie cutter hotels? We were! This cottage is the perfect remedy. We loved the charm & whimsical feeling of the cottage & the feeling of being in the woods made it an adventure in itself. The teens & youngest child loved the tree ladder to their upper room. The half bath was a plus. Everyone slept well. The living room was a little cramped, but not too big of a deal. Be aware the mini fridge is MINI. And definitely try to arrive before dark. We had a short stay and didn’t get to try out all of the amenities on the property. We were able to explore the treehouse playground, ferry, creek, & rope swing. All were excellent! In the words of my 7 year old, “Mom, can we live here?”

Treehouse Stay

This was our first time staying in a treehouse and I am so happy to say that our experience was fantastic! It had everything we needed. We were able to enjoy the quiet of the Candlelight Forest as well as the convenience of the proximity to Chattanooga for dining. The entire family agreed unanimously that we will be back!

Oasis in the woods.

We absolutely loved this place! The treehouse itself was adorable. I loved all the little touches: the decor, cleanliness, amenities. The bunk beds upstairs were so cute. I loved the children’s table, the little library - my kids thought the place was made just for them. And I loved that they had windows set lower so the kids could look outside without climbing on anything. The property was beautiful! We loved the treasure trail & wishing lanterns! What a magical experience!

Great memories ❤️

Our family had a amazing time here! My kids love the treehouse. The space was good enough for our family of 6. Very clean and cute. The deck was perfect for BBQ. Kids catch lots of 🎣 on the lake!!

A Dream for Kids and Adults Alike

This property was fabulous for my six-year-old grandson. I think he enjoyed the rope swing over the creek and the mason jar scavenger hunt more than our trips in to Chattanooga to see Ruby Falls or ride the incline railway! There are so many opportunities for fun at this property. The treehouse was wonderful! He was so excited to climb the ladder and sleep upstairs. The adults loved it, too. I hope to return and enjoy the beautiful area again. It was better than I anticipated!

Great place for a social distancing getaway

This property was a great place to stay. My kids enjoyed it. Only thing if your there for some quite time make sure there is no events going on while you there and make sure you take enough lighting if you do a camp fire at night there are no lights back there. But overall we enjoyed ourselves.

Amazing! Great for children and adults!

This treehouse is great! It may seem small at first, but it is the perfect size for a perfect vacation! The upstairs has 4 beds, and is great for kids like me! If you don't have kids, this is a perfect hang out place! My family stayed here for 2 days, and I have already fallen in love with it! There is also a creek that was so much fun for my brothers and I to play in, and a large rope swing nearby that we went by 2 times a day! There are also so many hiking trails nearby to visit; it is the vacation place of my dreams!

Fantastic Getaway!!!!

This is a hidden gem! We spent fall break here, & will be coming back! From the beautiful treehouse to the lake, hiking, & our favorite playing in the treehouse built by The Treehouse Master (just happens to be our sons favorite show on Animal Planet)it was an outstanding get away! Angie was fantastic to deal with & we just happen to be under a tropical storm warning so she worked with is to arrange another night! I would highly recommend this for a family or girls getaway as Chattanooga is 20 min it's away with lots of shopping & restaurants!

Me, my wife and two kids (8&9) are tough critics, but, in short, we'll be back here for sure!

My wife and I have been "in the industry" (architecture, construction, development, real estate (leasing, marketing, sales, etc)), for the majority of each of our individual careers. Me having gotten my degree in Architecture back in '86, plus 15-20 years of hands-on construction, then have spent my last 20+ years as an "Owners' Representative", the basic premise of which is watching for details, thinking of how to do things "out side the box" with an eye to Budget, Schedule, Function, and desired Aesthetic on behalf of Owners' of many different project types. My wife, while not having the same background as I, still has a similar eye for aesthetics and constructability. Resultantly, we are extraordinary aware and critical of our built (and natural) surroundings. We cannot go ANYWHERE without observing every detail and how things were done. I have to tell you that Heather and I are extraordinarily "taken" by your location, your concept, the architecture, and your interior design. All are REALLY well thought out Angie. "Hat's off". I mean like a ladder turned sideways, cut to fit between to pieces of, I'm guessing chamfered cedar 1"x6", w/ black-iron sprinkler piping for a curtain rod to screen the downstairs bed??? How creative!! REALLY nice. And the antique 1/2-window, with working handle / throw-lock rods, mirrored and then hung on a crack-finished bathroom door - brilliant! Then the flagstone floor and curb of the shower is a really nice "back to nature" touch, not to mention, everything maintaining the genuine feeling of being in a (very livable) treehouse. Only suggestion that is sometimes a nice thing in a place like this, even in today's technological world, or maybe exactly BECAUSE of today's technological world, I would love to have made a MANUAL entry (with actual writing utensil [we remember those, right?]), in a "Guest Log", or "Journal" that you would leave in your lovely little, perfect, hideaways for all read, share, enjoy and take part in, if they are so inclined. We are looking forward to our last few nights here and will surely look forward to a return trip in the future. John, Heather, Summer and Skyler Orlando, FL
