About this property

The Cavern on The Green. A unique hand-carved home. Quiet, great views

This hand-carved stone cottage has a ruins-like exterior and continues the theme as you go inside. Its well decorated cavern interior will wow you with its thoughtful layout and interesting construction technique.
On the main floor there is a full kitchen with concrete counters and dining bar, a sitting area with comfy chairs, a bathroom with a large tile shower and a bedroom with a queen bed and a private porch with a view of Lookout Mountain. Up the stone steps, you'll find a sweet bedroom loft with a full size bed and lots of windows with great views. Say hello to Tlaloc, the Aztec god of Rain and "that which sprouts" on the way up the steps.
Everyones' first word upon entering is "wow!" We never get tired of that and we're proud to be able to offer travelers a unique, clean, well-lit, luxurious cave dwelling

The Cavern on The Green is our second of two hand-carved, ruins style cottages. The other, the Bedrock Cave Cottage (vrbo# 971299) is next door. The two cottages sit in the middle of a twelve acre property and are situated such that each cottage has private areas outside. There is ample room for outdoor events and its a pretty sweet setup for an outdoor party with choice of bonfire sites.

A note about hot tubs. We have three homes for short term rental. Each has it's own hot tub. We maintain them at least every other day and always between guests. This maintenance includes cleaning filters and adjusting chemical balance and chlorine levels. They are drained and refilled often. Sometimes they may not be hot yet when you get there. (A real problem of you're only there for one night) We will always choose "cold but clean" over "hot and green" for our hot tubs. Occasionally, something might go wrong with them that requires parts to be ordered. While we always want our hot tubs clean, fresh and operating properly, we do not give refunds if they are not hot when you arrive or if something has happened that requires repair parts and you can't get the bubbles to blow just like you want them.

Great weekend getaway!

The property was exactly as advertised, and very clean. Rick sent great instructions on how to get there - a must since we arrived very late and wouldn't have found it without (would be no problem during the day). Short drive to Cloudland Canyon State Park, and Chattanooga. A great weekend! Can't wait to stay again.

Perfect Weekend Escape

Perfect weekend getaway for the family. Off the beaten path, but still 15 minutes to everything. Loved sitting in the hot tub and watching the hang gliders. The only thing missing was a TV for the kids.

Gorgeous View & Quaint Property

Everything about this place was gorgeous, inside and out! The owner was communicative and very friendly. The AC dripped on the carpet during our stay and the shower wasn't as clean as we hoped, but overall the experience was worth it!

Cavern on the green

We loved the hot tub and really enjoyed evenings. The creative vibe is there with comforts of home. There was no TV, so we told scary stories on the roof, played go fish and rummy when we were in. It is a peaceful get a way to enjoy nature, disc golf at Cloudland and the Park were a great day visit. We did not see anyone gliding although it was mon and tues. May be more on weekends. Thank you for the thoughtfulness you put into this cavern!

An adventure in itself

This property was the best disconnect from the real world. It was peaceful, relaxing, and mesmerizing. Watching hang gliders during the day and stars from the hot tub at night was just what we needed. The property was easy to locate and everything was clean (even the hot tub).

Thank You Rick!

This was our 2nd stay and it did not disappoint. The location is just far enough that you feel like you are completely in nature, but close enough to everything downtown! Our first trip was to drop our son off at SLTC and our return was for graduation! If we ever find our way back, we will stay again!!!!

Property not as indicated

The property was secluded, yes. Not well kept. The quaint house was cute, but not clean, at least in our perspective/standards. We couldn’t check in till 3:00pm which the check in guide said 2:00pm. The driveway has potholes and mud. There is a construction of some sort across from the two rentals which does NOT help the view. Overall, we would not recommend.
