Bright vaulted ceilings, timeless hardwood floors, drip brew coffee maker, lightning-fast 1,000 Mbps fiber optic internet, and 50-Inch Smart TV for on demand entertainment. The home is just a whisper away from the sleepy Tennessee River Gorge — with waterfront views peeking through the lush canopy of ancient oaks and maple. Unwind in the master suite opening to the all-glass sunroom with river views. Indulge yourself with the private en suite bath, glowing in natural light from oversize windows. Downstairs, the queen room's calming "sea foam" aura welcomes you with beach white duvet, chrome wood hangers and touch of zen. The bunk bedroom is perfect for kids or young at heart, with full mattress on bottom and twin mattress on top. Just off the bedrooms, you'll find the on-demand entertainment area with large TV and comfortable seating options for movie night, with games & laundry room nearby. The room opens up to another spacious deck with beautiful views of the river. This quiet sanctuary is fairly isolated on a rugged road with miles of dreamy forest winding along the river. We affectionately call it the "Rocky Road" — and although we're still looking for the chocolate, the small bumps along the way are simply part of the magic :) As new friends, we wish you a beautiful stay filled with magical moments. Guest Access: Enjoy exclusive, private access to the entire space. No other guests will be present, so you can simply relax and unwind in your home away from home. Check-in is easy and convenient with our touchscreen smartlock (no human interaction!) The nearest grocery store is about 30 minutes away — and the home is about 35-40 minutes from downtown Chattanooga. If you want to "escape" the hustle... get away from it all... and enjoy the fresh mountain air... this is the gift you've been waiting for :) The Neighborhood: The Oasis is nestled on lush woodland bordering Prentice Cooper State Forest. Getting Around: The home is fairly remote, so Uber or Lyft are unavailable. There is no public transportation that we know of (unless, of course, you spot a beaver with a paddle). We highly recommend arriving with a full tank of gas :) Other Things to Note: "Is there a grill? What kind of fuel does it use?" There is a small charcoal grill on the front deck, however our guests bring their own charcoal and lighter. "Can you give me a discount?" You will get an automatic 10% discount if you book at least 7 nights and 20% discount for monthly stays. "Can my car/truck/vehicle get down the road?" Of course, we've had hundreds of guests easily arrive in all kinds of vehicles. "Do you have reliable Internet & WiFi?" Yes, we have lightning-fast fiber optic internet and WiFi, in fact, we're known for some of the fastest internet in the U.S., which we're very proud of :) "How far is this house from downtown Chattanooga?" We're 35 minutes from Chattanooga (18 miles). It's about 40 minutes to Ruby Falls. "What time zone are you in?" The Oasis is in Central time zone. "What's the monthly rate? Can I lease month to month?" If there's a full month available with no existing bookings, you're welcome to select the dates and the app will show you the pricing breakdown for your date range. We've had many guests book 30+ nights and we do offer a large 20% discount for monthly bookings. Also, for your safety and convenience, we only book through this app (no traditional leases or "under the table" agreements). If the dates are available, you're welcome to book multiple months and the app will charge you once a month (the same rhythm as a traditional lease). "Can we go fishing and swimming on the river?" Absolutely, there is river access and a privately owned dock perfect for fishing. The dock is exclusively yours and not shared with anyone else. Even so, the dock is older and does not look "new" in any way. If this would affect your rating, please don't come for the dock. Many of our guests enjoy swimming in the river as well. You can access the dock with a trail leading from the house to the river (a little steep but has good steps). Keep in mind the dock is older (like 30 years old). "How can we rent boats, kayaks, etc?" For rentals, I recommend River Drifters which has a variety of boats available for rent, just down the road (about 11 miles away). They also have a restaurant and a public launch right on the river as well :) "Do you have a boat launch?" Yes, we have a public launch only 1 minute down the street. "What kind of coffee maker do you have?" We have a drip coffee machine, it can brew a steaming hot cup with single-serving or an entire pot of fresh coffee, per your preference. I’m also happy to provide coffee and filters, on the house :) If you have a specific brand of coffee that you enjoy, you're welcome to bring that, too. "Is there a pet fee? Weight or breed restrictions?" Yes, we require a pet fee for furry friend (dogs only, no cats). If the platform allows you to select that you’re bringing a pet, please choose that option when booking and the pet fee will be added to your pricing breakdown. You’ll be able to see the exact fee before confirming your booking. We have no weight or breed restrictions. Pet fees are due when making your reservation. A single pet fee allows up to 2 dogs during your stay. Pets must be respectful of the space and must not damage the home in any way. “What’s the minimum age requirement for booking?” Our minimum age required to book is 18 :) “Do you offer payment plans?” By default, full payment is required to confirm your reservation. We can’t control payment plans on our end, but in the unlikely event that one is available, you will see the option when booking. "Are there pots and pans for cooking, etc?" Absolutely, we have a fully stocked kitchen (just bring food!) "How many TV's are in the house?" There are 2 high definition TV's (game room + master bedroom) and lightning fast Wifi throughout the house for on demand entertainment. "Is there an iron and ironing board?" Yes :) I look forward to welcoming you to The Oasis! Interaction with Guests: It's likely you won't see me during your stay, which allows you more privacy and convenience. However, I am here anytime you need to reach out. If you need anything or have questions, just send me a message via the app and I'll be quick to respond. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - On a river - On the waterfront ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69570000/69567100/69567075/58840311.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### mountain house feel only 3.5 miles to downtown on missionary ridge Chattanooga - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 8.8 Excellent 107 reviews CA $170 CA $351 total includes taxes & fees Oct 14 - Oct 15 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-14&endDate=2025-10-15&selected=69567075&PinnedHotelID=69567075&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/40000000/40000000/39998300/39998246/15360109.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Riverfront home sitting in the heart of the Tennessee River Gorge 4 bdrm/4 bath Chattanooga - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 9.4 Exceptional 201 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-26&endDate=2025-10-27&selected=39998246&PinnedHotelID=39998246&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/42000000/41970000/41965300/41965231/5086de3c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful river cabin in the heart of the Tennessee River Gorge.

It was definitely a long trek down but worth it when you get down there. My kids loved having the downstairs area to themselves. It was definitely isolated if you are looking for a place to get away. We enjoyed river drifters down the mountain and had fun in Chattanooga. The host surprised us with ice cream in the freezer and my kids were so happy. Be prepared for a lake stay! We brought citronella candles and bug spray and it was well used. Next time we would bring a kayak for the river! :) ##### Ashlee A. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Laura R. Dec 1, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Thanksgiving Holiday Some of the photos are not accurate. For instance the beautiful dock overlooking the river (this was one of the draws for us) did not look anything like the picture and is actually in desperate need of repairs to make it safe. Additionally, there is a really cool fire pit but there aren’t any chairs. If this is something you love to do, just bring your own chairs, firewood and a flashlight to navigate the many stairs safely as it’s not lit. However, the house is beautiful locate, So serene, so picturesque ##### Laura R. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ronald R. Nov 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy getaway in the mountains My wife and I enjoyed our (too short) stay at this wonderful little house overlooking the river. The cozy cabin had everything we were looking for, and Derek (our host) made us feel welcomed from booking through checkout. As others have mentioned, the property is fairly secluded, so plan ahead. The access road to the house is very scenic (running along the riverside) but quite twisty and turney. Best navigated during the daytime (al least the first time) Plenty of good hiking and lots of natural beauty and interesting wildlife in this area. We are planning on returning-hopefully for a longer visit. ##### Ronald R. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Judith D.

The porches, sunroom, and dock are outstanding. It might be a long walk down to the dock(and longer back up...lol), but that just allows for so much outdoor space for the kids to explore and play on. Our boys are 10 & 11, and spent the VAST majority of the time outside!! Loved it & plan to go again! ##### Judith D. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Betty N.

Derek is just an amazing person to rent a property from. He is so helpful and the little things he does for the guests who arrive at the property are wonderful! We loved our stay, but as an older couple, the walk down to the river is tough...It is steep. The stairs in house could be a potential problem for and older couple as well! This is by no means a complaint, just a warning to anyone who is not physically fit!! The kids had no problem. They loved it, they swam off the dock and had a great time!! ##### Betty N. ### 8/10 Good #### Julie S. Jun 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The host was delightful!! Could not have been nicer if he tried! Loved communicating with him! The house was clean on the inside. We tended the spiderwebs and vines on the outside a bit to enjoy the outdoor space. The decks were lovely! Spent a lot of time out there! Water pressure was good! Towles where new but limited. Had PLENTY of natural light. Dock was great and had seating. The Kayak Drop in was less than a mile away and PERFECT to drop in for hours of kayaking. Very convenient and easy to get to. The River itself was calm like glass and easy to maneuver the kayaks. Not too much boat traffic either! The multiple mile drive there was very secluded and had plenty of potholes. It was a narrow as well. Daylight travel is recommended. Driveway was very steep but "doable". We could fit 3 cars comfortably. If you are staying at his house, you need to know that there are 270 steps (concrete and placed rocks) to get to the dock. It is a steep climb but doable. Just plan to stay down there awhile to catch a breath. Once down there the views are SPECTACULAR! You will not want to leave! We would have liked to have had more than one towel and wash cloth per visitor. Being on the lake- there were days we needed more than one shower. Also- the forks and spoons were limited. We had to wash them to use for multiple meals, deserts etc.. There were 7 forks and 5 spoons and we had 6 guests. It was a nice stay and good memories were made! ##### Julie S. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sue M. Sep 18, 2023 Liked: Location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Sadly not as advertised. There’s a LOT of unmet needs in this property. I feel the most of the issues are neglect. Master bath tub doesn’t hold water. Two stove eyes aren’t working. The decks are in need of repair, as is that sun deck that isn’t shown up close! There’s 225 steps that are steep going to river. There’s no safe yard, it’s either overgrown or full of poison ivy. Derek will let you know you will not get anything back if you forget it at check out, plus several thousand dollars of threats if you don’t follow the rules. Not a good feeling! ##### Sue M.

Jun 19, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Great for families The property is REMOTE Its almost 20 miles to a store so plan accordingly! The KITCHEN is super well stocked including most of the spices you would need to cook with, but don't plan on being able to run out to an easy restaurant for a meal, as its a 40 mile trek out and back. One thing to be aware of is that the Master bedroom has large high windows with no window treatments. So you will want an eye shade, unless you can sleep late in a bright room or you want to wake up with the sun. It is a long trek down the stairs to the water. I brought our canoe but my grown son's and I thought there was no way we would carry it up all those stairs. There was plenty of space in the lower level for my two sons' and my daughter in law and grand son, with my wife and I up stairs. The deck and screen porch are wondeful and we spent a lot of time there. The picture shown in the listing looking over the river is down at the dock, and is again a LOT of stairs down. ##### Scott S.

Absolutely beautiful location with amazing fishing! Yes it’s steep but worth it for the views you get along with a very nice and quiet area. There is a boat lift which was so nice to be able to use and a ramp within a quarter of a mile for use. It had all the amenities you need for a short or long stay! I would definitely stay again. Thank you so much we really enjoyed it. Jen & Jud (Stilson, Georgia) ##### Jud Jennifer B. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shane W.
