About this property

Awe-Inspiring Views / Spacious Cabin / Pickleball Court

The Cabin at Nickajack is the perfect spot for your get-away and get-together! This 4- bedroom home, was built for family gatherings, and is accustomed to hospitality. It's our mountain oasis with gorgeous, breathtaking views of the lake from every room in the house. The most recent addition is the private Pickleball Court. Located 1/2 mile from Interstate 24, it's rural yet only 20 minutes from downtown Chattanooga. Built on the side of a mountain, the custom-built cabin features mountain views of Lake Nickajack and its two bridges. The wrap-around porch and outdoor seating will be one of your favorite areas. The cabin is perfectly arranged for privacy and gatherings. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. There are 3 queen beds, 1 kingsize bed, 1 daybed with a pop-up trundle (2 twin beds)in the loft, 1 daybed with a pop-up trundle (2 twin beds)in the lower living area, 3 sofas, a loveseat, a recliner, and rocking chairs, wireless internet, 6 TVs (4 smart and 2 equipped with DRVs), good cell phone reception, one fabulously equipped kitchen, and spacious parking. There's something for everyone, from Pickleball to peace and quiet to the hustle and bustle of the city. It's ideal for those who want to relax and curl up with a good book. You can watch the hummingbirds and bluebirds feeding over the garden and every evening, a gorgeous sunset awaits you. The lower level can be separated from the rest of the Cabin if more privacy is needed. This apartment includes the king size bed, trundle bed, full bath, separate living area and kitchen is located in the lower level.

Pickleball is available on site; contact owner to make a reservation. You must supply your own paddles and balls. Within twenty minutes, you can take advantage of the Chattanooga tourist attractions, such as Rock City, Ruby Falls, Tennessee Aquarium, the Chattanooga Zoo, or the Chattanooga Choo-Choo. The marina is 2 miles away for those who want to fish or boat. The twenty-mile trail system created by TVA and Sorba is only six miles away at Raccoon Mountain for trail runners or mountain bikers. Motorcyclists will love having miles of scenic roads to explore. History buffs will appreciate the Civil War history including the National Cemetery and Missionary Ridge, just 20 miles away. It's a great place for families to disperse and gather again for meals, games, and fireside chats.

Awesome cabin overlooking water

Great property, lots of space for my friends and I to hang out and enjoy the lake views and nature. Only slight complaint would be that there were a number of wasps around the property but somewhat to be expected when you’re in the woods. Would highly recommend to anyone with a larger group who is looking for a property with great views and plenty of space for a whole group of people.

Family Thanksgiving Trip

The cabin was very spacious with a breathtaking view. The kitchen was fully equipped, the appliances were up to date, and each room had everything we needed. Also, the cabin is conveniently located only a few miles from grocery stores and restaurants. Our family had a great Thanksgiving and will definitely book again!

Spacious home with a great view

The cabin was clean & had plenty of room for our 3 couples. Kitchen was well stocks with dishes, cookware & seasonings. As a bonus, the owners dog (Bear) was a very friendly addition with visits each AM & evening. A comfortable place to spend time with friends. The view out the windows of Nickajack Lake is spectacular.

Amazing Cabin and Views!

This cabin was the perfect weekend getaway home. The cabin had enough room for myself and my family, along with enough things to do whether video streaming, playing games, or reading books. Though we did not play on the pickleball court, it was nice to look at. The wall of windows overlooking the view outside was absolutely wonderful. Each bedroom had their own bathroom and they were all so clean. The location was great and super peaceful. It was quiet the whole time while we were in the cabin. The place felt really secure and safe, of which I am super appreciative of. The distance to Chattanooga was not bad either. I did not have any issues with the traffic to or from Chattanooga. My family all loved the decently stocked kitchen, view, and the indoor gas fireplace. I will say that the drive up to the cabin was easy, the wifi was great when we needed it, and there was plenty of parking for multiple vehicles. I cannot express enough how peaceful it was within and around this cabin. It made for a perfect weekend for sure. I highly recommend this cabin if you want the best getaway near Chattanooga, if you want a good view of the River, and if you truly want peace away from the city. This is definitely on the top of my list to come and stay at again!

About the host

Hosted by Susan Lovett

Host profile image
We have been in Christian ministry our entire married lives and we are no strangers to hospitality. We love sharing our home and making it clean, comfortable, and a place of rest and relaxation. We also love Pickleball and enjoy sharing that with others, providing lessons, drills, and play upon request.

Why they chose this property

We built this house in 2007 to be our retirement home. This house was built for our children and grandchildren. We planned for the families to have a measure of privacy in their own bedrooms, but the children would sleep on the sofas and blow up mattresses in the loft, giggling with their cousins when they were supposed to be asleep. We loved it. Actually, my parents love it too and bring their friends to relax and enjoy the beauty of God's creation, breathe fresh air, and fellowship together. We'd love to share our home with you and hope that time spent here would give you a fresh perspective on life and you'd leave refreshed and full of peace.

What makes this property unique

The location, the views, the porches, the balance of shared and private space, the Pickleball, the convenience. What more can be said?!
