Unique farm guest house close to Chattanooga, TN- great for families and dogs

Enjoy peaceful mornings and sunset evenings away from the crowds but close enough to easily take in the city sights and entertainments. We are 2 miles from the Chickamauga Battlefield for great hiking, biking and horseback riding and 30 minutes east of Cloudland Canyon State Park for hiking and caving. Our 31 acres offer a quiet place to get away for a personal retreat weekend or an extended stay. We have a great set up for a family as the bedroom downstairs is quiet and the upstairs bunk room makes for a great slumber party.

Our accommodations include a one bedroom/1 bunk room cabin complete with full kitchen, laundry room, 2 baths with showers. The bedroom downstairs has a queen bed. There is also a queen sleeper sofa in the living room. Upstairs can accommodate 6 people: 2 bunkbeds and a trundle bed. There is a full bath both downstairs and upstairs. The half bath is in the shared laundry room. Wifi and TV are included. The kitchen has a full sized refrigerator, stove, microwave, and dishwasher. We leave coffee and tea and eggs for you to enjoy.

We live on the property in a 145 year old farmhouse across the yard from the guesthouse. While we like to greet guests when they arrive, we are happy to interact as much or as little as you prefer.

We are fine with guests using our grill in the yard and letting their dogs play there. We have 6 fenced acres with a pond and two dogs, Rocco and Dakota. Rocco is a boxer/mastiff and Dakota is a boxer girl. Our pastures are great for walking, biking, and scenic views and the pond is available for contemplative moments or dog swimming, whichever you prefer.

We also offer another listing if you need more beds for your family or group. We have a vintage camper that we rent that can accommodate up to 3 more people. Please inquire about availability.

Dogs are welcome. If you need it, there is a dog kennel available. We keep our 5 donkeys in the big pasture and have our own family of friendly pasture pets in the Goat Park on the far side of the barn. You will likely see them while you sit out at the picnic table. Pats and supervised cuddles are encouraged!

Be aware that we keep chickens and have some roosters. Roosters crow all day, FYI. And, this is important, our birds are very free ranging and some live in the yard with our dogs. We always ask guests to keep their dogs leashed when arriving until we can see how they react to chickens. There are lots of other places around the property to run off leash if being in the yard with chickens is too much for your dog.

We are on the property and close by, but our rental is separate from our home for your personal privacy. However, the Bunkhouse is part of a larger structure that includes our garage, music studio, and barn.

The city of Chickamauga is within a 10 minute drive and downtown Chattanooga is just 15 miles away. There is also a local Food Lion grocery and drug store 5 minutes away.

Chattanooga offers many outdoor activities from hiking to paddle boarding and bouldering to just strolling the 25 mile Riverwalk. There are lots of good restaurants and music venues as well. Lake Winnepasauka Amusement park is 15 minutes away and a family favorite. Traveling into town from our place is easy and stressless. Staying put works, too.

Be assured that we are following HomeAway's guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting.

Please note that we do charge a pet fee. There is also a charge for each person over 6 people. You will see these charges when you book.
