About this property

Perfect Getaway on the Water Beautiful Gorge Views Complimentary Kayaks & SUPs 11 miles to Downtown

A Perfect Getaway on the Water with Beautiful Gorge Views! Complimentary Kayaks & SUPs!

Unbelievable location right on the Tennessee River in the heart of the Gorge. This property features an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings in the living room and kitchen and large spacious bedrooms with plenty of room to sleep everyone. Enjoy views of Raccoon Mountain and the River gorge from the living room, kitchen and sun room or step out onto the massive covered porch to enjoy the sunrises and sunsets.

We have 3 Bedrooms with the following setup:

Bedroom #1: King Size bed
Bedroom #2: Queen Size bed
Bedroom #3: 2 Sets of Full over Full bunks (that is 4 full size beds total)
Rec Room: 2 full size sleeper/convertible sofas.

Walk down to the water and experience the river for all it has to offer with swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, canoeing paddling, and fishing or bring your boat and take advantage of the fully covered boat dock and slip. If staying on land is more your style you can hang out and play some games in the large, flat backyard or go and check out some of the nearby hiking and climbing. The Pot Point Nature Trail is just 1 mile down the road or head back towards town about 3.5 miles and take a hike up Middle Creek.

Make sure to visit downtown which is only 11 miles from the house and features the Chattanooga Aquarium, Creative Discovery Museum, Chattanooga Lookouts, Historic Bluff View Art District, Hunter Art Museum and numerous excellent restaurants. If you are lucky you might catch one Chattanooga’s many festivals or events which are a weekly occurrence most of the spring, summer and fall. Just a little past downtown on Lookout Mountain you will find Ruby Falls, Rock City, and the Incline Railway.

If you're looking for a getaway that feels like you are miles away from anything, but actually only a few miles from everything, then the River Bunker House is just for you!

The place is all yours, but feel free to reach out if you have any questions or issues.

Things to Note:

The road to the house winds along the river and can get narrow and curvy in places - please drive with caution! If narrow winding roads intimidate you, this may not be the best place for you.

The house has neighbors on either side that are sensitive to noise disturbances. If your plans include late night partying , this is not the place for you.

Fun family vacation

We enjoyed our stay here. The location is perfect for families - it's right on the river with plenty of yard to play in. It's also only 15-20 minutes to downtown and even less to grocery stores (food city and whole foods are super close), coffee shops and a handful of breweries / restaurants. My daughter and I loved using the kayak and had fun trying to spot the bald eagle that nests nearby. The house is stocked with kayaks, SUPs, paddles, and life vests. The home has a solid layout - 2 beds upstairs and a basement with bunkbeds and a playroom. Kitchen is laid out well but doesn't have a ton of amenities. The home broadly could use some updating to make it 10/10 but it's hard to judge a cabin based on paint, so still perfect marks in our book.

Weekend getaway/wedding

I got married at Snooper’s Rock. This was a great location with a great view! We loved the quietness by the river. The only complaint we had is that there were dogs everywhere. One dog came on to the property multiple times during our stay, it was very nice but there were a few small children around. There were dogs that chased our car down the road a couple times as well. Overall, we couldn’t have loved the property more. The host did a great job making it feel like a home away from home. We will definitely make another trip to this area!

“GORGE”OUS!!

Place is as described. Had such an amazing time! It was so peaceful and quiet and enjoyed the kayaking and paddle boarding. We all fished and caught some bluegill, catfish and bass. The beds were comfy and kitchen stocked with everything you may need. Also close to downtown. Would definitely stay again.
