About this property

The White Cabin: In the Woods, Close to Town

Relax with family or work remotely while nestled up to national forest, just outside of town. Cozily outfitted with all you need to relax, cook, sleep peacefully, read, write, practice yoga, or make music on the piano. Watch the sunset, stargaze from the balcony, watch TV, hike, cook a dinner, or relax by the fire. With soothing tones and surrounded by trees, this cabin with clean lines is tucked away from it all.
This guest cabin is the perfect place for a writer's or musician's retreat, a family escape, a girlfriend's weekend ... come enjoy everything Chattanooga and it's surrounding country has to offer.

FYI: we live on the 16 acres with this cabin, and we are currently in process of permaculturing our property into a small homestead. A large swathe of the front yard has tall Marshall rye ground cover summer of 2023. We are not neglecting our property.
We are working with a professional permaculturist to build healthy, loamy soil where there was dense clay. We have the area around the cabin weed eaten each week on the side yard and around the house. If you come back in 2024, we will have fruit trees, nut trees, native plants and wild grapes.

PETS: Pets are allowed for a $100 fee that will be charged upon reservation. Limit to one pet—no exceptions. Any evidence of pets on the furniture will incur a $100 additional cleaning fee. Service animals are by law not charged for their stay, but also by policy require documentation and are NOT ALLOWED to STAY at the home ALONE at any point.

NO PARTIES. NO SMOKING. We will and have called the police on guests who were using our property illegally, inappropriately, or otherwise in violation of the agreement. Be advised.

Spring Break/Birthday/Family Vacation

We super appreciated how close to everything this location is, yet still feels relatively secluded. I will say, though, we had 6 guests (including a dog) and I was a little worried that we were going to be cramped based on pictures and inaccurate property details/description. The descriptions says its a 1bd/1bath, but there are pictures of two different beds, which made it seem like it was one large room with 2 beds. The house is a 2bd/1bath. Which also raised the question of where will the 2 other guests sleep? I assumed there would be a sofa bed. There was an air mattress that did not stay inflated. After 2 nights those 2 guests ended up sleeping on the couch and chaise lounge.Overall we did have a lovely trip, just wish there was a better description on the property.

Prefect place in the trees.

The cabin was excellent. You feel you are in the middle of the woods, but you are minutes from everything you want to do and see. The host was great, the cabin was cozy and clean. We will definitely return!

Great place close to town

We had a great stay! The house is very close to town and all the surrounding attractions, but still felt secluded and quiet. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable. A great place for a quiet getaway after the holidays.

We arrived with the porch light on welcoming us. This is a great location to all the attractions. Very peaceful and relaxing even if you don't want to go out. Would most definitely have a return visit.

Modern with a vintage flair...

A sweet little cabin super close to so many places. The owners were super kind and helpful. Sadly, not even 10 mins after arriving I became under the weather. :( So we ended up having a "staycation'. The owners put so much love and attention to the details in this cabin. Thank you for hosting my kiddos and my fur babies. We made some great memories from the couch! :D We did get to make it to Rock City (a fond childhood memory with my parents)! It was only 15 mins away and a beautiful drive up the mountain. A+

Great Place and Conveniently Located

This place was a great value and had everything we needed for a short family trip. The host’s were quick to respond to any questions we had throughout the process. This place was located perfectly to a shopping area, restaurants, and most of the main tourist attractions. Planning to book again in the fall.

Ideal spot in Chattanooga

We (family of 4) enjoyed our stay so much. The cabin is roomy, quiet and located in a beautiful woodsy spot but also just a few minutes from Rock City, downtown Chattanooga etc. The inside of the cabin was so light and bright and the decor was adorable. Highly recommend.

Happy little cottage

Quiet and nestled into the edge of the mountain, we saw deer and turkeys. Close enough to local activities but with the isolated feel we prefer. Very attentive host who was very interested in our experience being positive.

Just What We Needed

We enjoyed our stay so much. The cabin was perfect for my husband, three girls, and myself. We were surprised when we first arrived and realized how big it actually is. We thought from the pictures, it would be smaller, but there was more than enough room for our family. It's close to so many things but feels removed. It was perfect for us.

Softballers from Illinois

Very cute, quiet little place that allowed us to relax when our daughter wasn’t playing softball. Loved the location and loved all it had to offer. The teenagers enjoyed their own room at the end of the day while the hubs and I enjoyed watching a movie and also sitting on the porch listening to the frogs and cicadas each evening over a nice glass of wine. Awesome place to renergize. Close to many attractions. We will definitely have to make a trip back someday.

MUST STAY!

This house was everything you could dream of and then some! The aesthetics of the home were absolutely amazing, so peaceful. From the little things like the essential oil diffuser and organic cleaning products to the decor of the house and places to sit in peace. You can not find a better property on lookout mountain like this one! Property owner was very helpful with communication as we took our twin boys who are five years old and autistic. The property owner told me great places to go and hike even a trail right on the property! Cleanliness was exceptional! Beds were beyond comfortable, I can’t say enough good things! We will definitely be back to this property in the near future!! 10/10!

About the host

Hosted by Missy Luce

Host profile image
We are a couple celebrating 29 years of marriage and homeschooling our four children. We have lived in Chattanooga since 2003.

Why they chose this property

This 16 acres at the foot of Lookout Mountain is where we intend to live out our lives. We built this cabin after owning the property for three years with intentions of creating a family community with children and grandchildren. Until that time comes, we enjoy sharing our beautiful location with travelers who want to experience Chattanooga and all the surrounding area has to offer. We are perfectly situated near town, but nestled up against national park forest.

What makes this property unique

Only four miles to downtown, yet tucked inside the prettiest envelope of a forest, our property allows people to experience our scenic city without a long drive, and we are minutes away, even walking distance, from some of the best hiking in the area. The woods behind the cabin are lovely, dark, and deep. The city lights are just a few moments away. We maintain an expectation that all guests will abide by local laws regarding noise, alcohol consumption, and your rental agreement. In rare cases, we have called in law enforcement to break up parties with illegal drinking and unregistered guests. We will continue to do this anytime it is necessary. Please be warned.
