Come as a group & get some breathing space!

The neighborhood is a cluster of 4 cabins centered around a community pavilion. Guests can spend time together, cooking, eating, playing, and relaxing & then retreat to the privacy of their own cabin to recharge.

Between funky design choices, deep colors, and lots of greenery, our property will lift your spirits and bring you back to the basics - friends & family

SPACE
The Neighborhood is our first social cluster of cabins at our newly created Nature Retreat. This is a family-run business set on 82 private acres, including a mile of creek frontage along Suck Creek.

Since April 2022, our family has been working tirelessly to heal damage caused by decades of irresponsible logging and restore the land better than ever. Part of this effort includes rebuilding hiking trails throughout the property and planting hundreds of native trees to control soil erosion. We love when returning guests notice the thoughtful improvements we’ve made between visits - it’s all part of our commitment to making your stay even better each time!

Our main focus is hosting large groups of up to 26 guests for weddings, family reunions, friend getaways, business retreats, religious or club gatherings, and more. We’ve designed this space to bring people together while still respecting privacy.

The Neighborhood includes four cabins. Every cabin features:
- Sleeping for 6-7 guests
- Full indoor bathrooms
- Outdoor hot-water showers (Whippoorwill's shower is available yearlong and the other 3 are available from last frost to first frost)
- Full kitchens with apartment-size fridges and stoves (no dishwashers)
- Outdoor campsite grills with picnic tables
- Comfortable outdoor lounging on patios, porches, and/or decks
- Modern comforts like electric fireplaces, TVs, & Wi-Fi

At the center of the neighborhood is the Pavilion, a welcoming shared space featuring:
- Outdoor kitchen cabinets
- Electric griddle
- Cold-water Sink
- Firepit with chairs & benches
- Picnic tables
- Nearby kids’ slide and tetherball

Just steps away is the start of our trail system, which winds past the bluffline and leads north to Suck Creek blue holes and south to Prentice Cooper State Forest.

Laundry Room is conveniently available in the nearby garage and is even stocked with board games and puzzles for leisurely recreation.

NEIGHBORHOOD
Our 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.
