You'll find everything you need to enjoy a very comfortable stay surrounded by acres of forest just 15 minutes from downtown Chattanooga. Nested at our nature reatreat, The Bird House welcomes you to enjoy a one of a kind retreat in a modern treehouse. Woodland trails on 30+ acres meander throughout the property and two nearby creeks offer seasonal (rainfall dependent) swimming holes and exploration. This distinctive spot is both a place of respite for those seeking time in nature and conveniently located to downtown Chattanooga. It's a perfect place for couples and families looking to escape or explore all Chattanooga has to offer. The Bird House, entirely your own to enjoy, is two distinct cabins joined by a covered porch. One side of the cabin offers a massive king-size bed, smart TV, and a bathroom with a gorgeous walk-in shower. The other side has a modern kitchen with a vintage flair that's well appointed for all your culinary needs as well as a living room with a smart TV and a full-size pull-out couch. Both sides have beautiful forest and mountain views! The Space: The Bird House is nested between boulders and trees on more than 30 acres of forest. And our backyard is Prentice Cooper State Forest with its 25,000 acres of semi-protected land. We have trails throughout the property to explore. There are two nearby creeks that offer seasonal (rainfall dependent) blue hole swimming. Sulphur Branch, the creek just behind The Bird House, is easy to access. And Suck Creek, a local favorite, is just on the other side of Suck Creek road from the property. A large fire pit with boulder benches is in the front yard for fireside chats and marshmallow roasting. We also have a gas grill ready for you. We hosted a small forest school for children in the Chattanooga area for 3 years, but it has since moved off the property. You can still see their outdoor classrooms if you wonder the property. Guest Access: You are free to roam the entire property, exploring the trails and creeks throughout. The Bird House is one of four cabins on our property where our family has been working for years to create a rare space for our guests to enjoy. Each cabin was either built by us from local materials or remodeled by us to be a unique space for you to experience. Born and raised here in Chattanooga, this land is the place we choose to raise our children - surrounded by nature and the incredible beauty of the Tennessee River Gorge. There are two devoted parking spaces with motion sensor lights at The Bird House as well as plenty of overflow parking nearby. Other Details to Note: Please note, some road noise can be expected here at The Bird House as the cabin is next to a main thoroughfare. Sulphur Branch creek also runs just behind the cabin, so you can anticipate sounds of rushing water. We have a sound machine at the cabin for your use. All the water for The Bird House is filtered from a pristine spring and tastes wonderful (like nothing at all really), so there's no need to bring bottled water. We have a whole house filter in place as well as a Brita water pitcher in the fridge. We have a tankless water heater so each guest can enjoy hot showers! And each side of The Bird House has its own mini split unit to perfectly control the heat & air inside. We straddle the Eastern and Central time zones. Be aware that cell phones may alternate between the two when in this area, but we abide by Eastern Standard Time (as does Chattanooga). Again, water levels for all our local creeks are dependent on the amount of recent rainfall. Even if dry, they're beautiful to explore! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cabin: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Microwave - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Firepit - Gas grill - Patio ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In the mountains ### Things to do - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34150000/34141000/34140933/a705efa0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Log Cabin in the Clouds with a Million Dollar View - Private - Clean & Safe!
