Private Multi Family Retreat on 5 Acres!

Create lifelong memories at the most unique & plush nature retreat you will ever experience!

Imagine watching deer stroll through forest from the plunge pool or sauna after hiking one of 30 trails within 20 min of our 5 acre oasis....Imagine watching the sunset from the hot tub with a glass of wine, while the grandkids play ping pong in earshot.

If you need a retreat from the city to connect with loved ones just a short drive from Nashville, Chattanooga & Huntsville, our home is for you!

Guests will not have interaction with the hosts. However, we are available whenever you need us!

Walk out of our door and enjoy light hiking trails in the neighborhood or hop in the car to do more difficult hikes within 15 min!

Think cute mountain town meets sophisticated artist's retreat. The liberal arts college in town, University of the South provides incredible artisan culture that can be felt throughout the town.

Our neighborhood is called 'Deep Woods' for a reason. Secluded and quiet, it's almost impossible not to relax when you arrive!

Guests will access the property using smart locks.

PRIVACY & TOGETHERNESS: Our home is ideal for multiple families looking for a space to be together while still having privacy when needed. The home features a large open concept living/kitchen area to be together in the 'main cabin' as well as 3 additional private guest quarters for couples to escape to at the end of the night.

If you have 16+ in your group, please note that you will be using futons & cots in addition to the beds.

STEP FREE ACCESS
(For Bookings with Mobility Challenged Guests)
The main living and kitchen area where guests congregate can be accessed with zero steps. There are 2 bedrooms and bathrooms in this area. Both of the bathrooms have a tub/shower.

FIRST TIME STAYING IN A SHIPPING CONTAINER HOME? You're not alone! We get tons of questions - Many asking, "Is this a 'normal' home?" - The answer is, yes! The outside looks extremely unique, but we imagine that once you're inside, you'll forget you're in a shipping container because of the comfortable design and luxe touches added throughout the home. Please note, all of the bedrooms are single containers and therefore, are narrow. The photos show this as the containers are the width of queen/king size beds.

PET AMENITIES
1. Fenced in area for the pups!
2. Paw Wiping Towels
3. 'Poo Bags'
4. Dog Waste Trash Cans

Pet Fee: $125 for first pet, $75 dollars per additional pets. Please add your pet to the listing prior to booking. We ask for $125 for the convenience of having your fur baby on vacation and for the extra clean up of waste and fur. No breed restrictions, maximum of 4 pets. Rovers in our area are 30-40 dollars per night if you prefer to have a pet free vacation!

CRITTERS: We have regular pest control for a variety of critters & regularly treat for snakes. However, you might see them anyway as we are on 5 acres of wooded forest. We do our best to prevent it, but sometimes bugs find their way inside. If this will ruin your stay, you might consider booking elsewhere.

Sewanee Family Weekend
I was not sure what to expect staying in a shipping container.... but it was fabulous!!! So cute inside! It was a great place to stay with several couple since you have some privacy in the containers. They have everything you could ever need in the bathrooms and kitchen. Great communication with the owners. I would 100% stay here again in the future!

Enchanting forest dream
I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect. The online description is accurate but it does not describe how staying there makes you feel. Yes it is spacious, has a well equipped kitchen, a sauna, hot tub, plunge pool and is clean; but the thoughtful details given to create each space impart multiple surprise moments of joy and comfort. I will never forget the awe of waking up in the mornings, surrounded by lush green trees. A luxurious treehouse!

Adorable!
This property is so awesome! Not only is it beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, it was equipped with everything we could possibly need. Rachel and Steph really thought of everything, and were so helpful and communicative. Spent the weekend here with friends, cooked tasty meals, enjoyed the beautiful view of trees from our bedroom, relaxed in the sauna, hot tub and pool. The only complaint I have is that we didn’t book a longer stay. 🙂 Definitely will be rebooking this home in the future.
