About this property

Unique hand-carved cave house with an amazing view of Lookout Mountain.

This hand-carved, artful cottage has a charming interior and large windows framing scenic views of Lookout Mountain. Inside, you'll find wood ceilings, a huge stone center wall, a full kitchen, and a spa-inspired bathroom with a stone sink and a large tile and stone shower. A queen size bed in the bedroom and a queen size sleeper sofa in the living room provide ample sleeping space for up to four guests. Outside there is a hot tub, fire pit and covered outdoor seating where you can hang out and enjoy the scenery.
You will have the best of both worlds here too! At the cottage, you'll be nestled in a quiet, country setting yet still have easy access to all that this mecca for outdoor enthusiasts offers. Mountain biking, caving, and rock climbing are within 5 miles. Road bike races regularly pass by on the way up Lookout Mountain. Hang gliding at Lookout Mountain Flight Park is just two blocks away and hiking at Cloudland Canyon State Park is within a few miles.
For guests wanting to include a city experience during their stay, the cottage is just a 17-mile drive to downtown Chattanooga with its many attractions, restaurants, civil war sites, shopping and more.
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.

Cute stay if you want to be “off the grid” a little more! No TV but it does have a cute record player for all types of music. Wifi is available! Hot tub and rooftop seating are fantastic. Would stay again!

Sweet Honeymoon :)

Stayed here in Georgia for our honeymoon! It was wonderful, steeped in nature but also close enough to a town you didn’t feel too far away. The property is beautiful, hot tub and rooftop seating was wonderful! Check in was so easy and I appreciated all they had to offer! Would 100% book here again, the host was very responsive and had everything set up for us to stay!

Nice Secluded Getaway

We had a really nice time here. The house was pretty secluded and included a nice hot tub as well as rooftop lounge area. It is off the beaten path a bit but that’s what we wanted. It’s about 25 minutes to Chattanooga by either backroads or the interstate, which makes for easy outings for meals when needed. There are a couple of other units near by so I would consider that; however, at the time we visited there were no other guests around. Host provided great communication and an easy check in and checkout process. We will definitely check out this place again next time we visit the area. Thanks for a great week!

You can tell all the hard work, thought and imagination put into this property. If you want a relaxing stay away from the noise of the city..time to unplug ,then I recommend here. We sat on the rooftop looked at the mountains ,relaxed in the hottub.,made dinner and listened to the crickets .Had a great time.

Perfect getaway location

We booked this location last minute when my husband and I decided to spend a few days hiking the area. This was the perfect place to stay, the hot tub was perfect for two and already warmed for us. The home was large enough to have separation between the bedroom and living area, but still very cozy. we cooked dinner and the kitchen had the few basics we needed. The bed was comfortable with clean, very soft sheets and all the towels for the bathroom and hot tub were provided. There was another little cottage next door, but we had plenty of privacy. Overall we very much enjoyed staying here.

Great getaway

My wife and I spent 4 nights for our anniversary. We were looking for the country feel, splice and quiet. We got that. Rick’s oasis was perfect. Very clean, modern and relaxing. The hot tub was hot, clean and gave us an incredible view of the stars. Bed was fantastic. We couldn’t be more pleased with our stay. Thank you Rick for your wonderful hospitality.

Great stay outside Chatt!

Great stay and very unique! Hot tub left a little to be desired with a backpad missing, only jets on one seat, and the temp not going up past 101. Otherwise, a lovely stay!

About the host

Hosted by Rick Gattone

Host profile image
I moved to this area from Atlanta in 1995. I had been coming here to play (caving, hang gliding, mountain biking, rock climbing) since the early 80's and couldn't stand the two hour drive from Atlanta every weekend. Shortly after I moved here, I accidently started Liquid Landscapes Aquatic Design and began building waterfalls and ponds for a living. I also started playing guitar and later, mandolin and get to play with some fine musicians in the area. Bring your instruments or ask for loaners whiles you're here...

Why they chose this property

I bought this property because of the amazing view. Its beautiful and I still appreciate it EVERY day.

What makes this property unique

This is our first of two hand-carved, ruins style cottages. The other one, (The Cavern on The Green, vrbo#1298361) is next door. These cabins are in a private section of a 12 acre property. Both cabins are arranged to have outdoor private areas out of view. The land is at the foot of lookout Mountain and is a great venue for outdoor gatherings. We have a choice of bonfire spots and plenty of room. You'll need to contact us in advance for info on hosting a function here.
