Cute Cabin near Chattanooga, for Wonderful Family Glamping in Tennessee

Description

Just a beautiful 20-minute drive from downtown Chattanooga, this moody mountain cottage is the perfect place to unplug and sink into nature. Wake up beneath warm cedar ceilings, enjoy lazy lunches on the patio, and wind down your day in the glow of the screened-in porch.

Perched atop Suck Creek Mountain at our Nature Retreat, you’re steps away from hiking adventures in Prentice Cooper State Forest and refreshing dips or paddles in Suck Creek. Whether you’re a trail trekker, hammock dweller, or starry-night storyteller, this is your mountain magic moment waiting to happen.

Enjoy coffee or cocktails on your double stone patio, dine al fresco, or unwind in the screened-in porch where mountain breezes and birdsong fill the air. After a day of adventure, rinse off in the outdoor shower under the stars, or indulge in the rainfall shower indoors for a spa-like reset.

NEIGHBORHOOD
This property is a dream-turned-reality created by the Sonner-Such family (John & Karen, Ken, and James & Bobbie). Together, we’re transforming an 82-acre mud-pit atop Suck Creek Mountain into an evolving sanctuary of living earth, eclecic creativity, and human connection.

We’re nestled in the rural Suck Creek Mountain community surrounded by nature’s best:
🌲 Prentice Cooper State Forest borders our southern end
💧 One mile of Suck Creek flows through our land to the east
🌊 The Tennessee River runs along our road at the base of the mountain

We’re doing our best to honor this powerful land with restoration, quirky charm, and a deep love for people and place.

TRANSIT
You will want a car - or at least a bicycle! It is a 10-12 minute car ride down the mountain to get groceries.
