Gorgeous, quiet cabin right on Tennessee river
The listing photos are accurate and the interior is absolutely gorgeous. Owner has put a lot of effort into updates and it shows. The setting above the Tennessee river is incredible. It faces East, so you get the morning sun but property has wonderful shades to drawn down if you'd like to sleep in. Location: Stock up before arriving and you will have a delightful time. If you are planning on doing stuff in Chattanooga, it is a 9 mile haul heading East down a winding, twisting, dipping, occasional 1 lane back road on the Tennessee river. Be patient and enjoy the views but you are not just popping over to the store for a gallon of milk. The drive back to and from the west was much prettier and easier but that's about 12 miles along an improving 2 lane road. Cleanliness: The interior was immaculate. Sincerely. The exterior was strewn with leaves and cob webs. We're out in the country, in early Fall, I get it. But the entry and back deck did not look like they had been swept in quite a while. Accessibility: The driveway is crazy steep and there are no identifiers from the road. View: The trees on the left side of the property need to be trimmed back as it is diminishing the view of the river and mountains. Dock: Ok, the dock access is down a REALLY steep incline. REALLY steep. You are not letting little kids go down there alone, and as an adult, I made the trip once and decided never again. Just be aware of distance from Chattanooga and steepness of driveway and river access.

This is IT !
Best way to sum it up, my family wants to live there! The house is so comfortable. The views, no matter the weather, breathtaking. Beat my expectations tenfold! The only knock, and I mean only, is the steepness of the terrain leading to the dock. The rope is sufficient, but still a bit of a challenge. Pick your shoes wisely! My daughter is about to attend the University of Mobile on a cross country scholarship, so we used the grade of the hills for our own workouts. The road coming in is…exciting, to say the least, but should be traveled at daytime in order to spot a myriad of wildlife and some blind hills and sharp curves. And the driveway adds an additional amount of excitement when arriving, but hey, we are in the Tennessee River Gorge, what did you expect? We’ll be back! Thanks for an amazing stay! (The sound of distant fireworks roaring through the gorge was unlike anything I’ve ever heard.)

Beautiful View!
We enjoyed our stay here, especially the views! However, the outdoor space turned out to be far too steep for our young family to enjoy. We were looking forward to some outside playtime and fishing, but it was just not feasible for young children. Instead we enjoyed the views and the hot tub! Overall the home was quite comfortable and accommodating for us. And because this is always an important point for me when reading reviews- bed comfort: downstairs bed was firm and pretty comfortable. Upstairs bed was very uncomfortable and seemed quite worn out.

Rusty’s River View in March, Gorgeous Mountain Views
Very nice cabin, view of the beautiful mountains was even better than expected since the leaves aren’t out yet. Highlights for me: the beautiful kitchen with all the pans and dishes we could need to cook and grill, the deck with the fire pit, and the roomy hot tub in nice working order! The kid’s favorite part was catching fish down on the dock, but mine was the gorgeous view of the Mountains and watching the eagles fly over! Great and fast communication with the host!

This is a great place to relax! Even though getting to the cabin is a little bit challenging, the trip to the location is beautiful. And once you get to the cabin, you will NOT be disappointed if you are seeking peace and quiet. I had a few questions upon arrival and the owner was very quick responding. Highly recommend.

Great vacation spot
Great house, beautiful location and gorgeous scenery. If you enjoy the outdoors and are looking for a place to do some fishing, or just get some peace and quiet or some rest and relaxation, then this is definitely the place for you. Note: house is on a steep hill and it's quite a bit of exercise to get up or down to the river, but well worth the adventure!

Highly enjoyed. The house was clean, well decorated. Spacious. Check in was easy. The kids loved the dock on the river and the hot tub was awesome. Kitchen well stocked with appliances/dishes etc. washer and dryer was nice as well. Highly recommend. I’m looking at dates to return- about 35 mins from Chattanooga but 20 is in the mountains- feels like you are a world away. We loved it

Very Nice Home, Great Hosts!
My family of four stayed at the TN River Cabin and it was wonderful. The home is very nicely decorated and clean. My kids loved the arcade game and the hot tub. The view from the decks is beautiful. This is truly a great place to spend some relaxing time. The cabin is located just a few miles from an amazing waterfall. The trail is called Ritchie Hollow Trail and the waterfall at the end of the trail was absolutely beautiful. It’s definitely worth the hike! The hosts were great too. Very easy to communicate with and super friendly. I would recommend this cabin to anyone. My family made some great memories there and we hope to go back again in the future!

Exactly What We Needed
We were looking to get away and enjoy the beauty of Tennessee. This location is perfect. It has a feeling of being remote but Chattanooga is relatively close with excellent restaurants and a fun tour to Gate 11 Distillery. If you can manage to get off the screened porch of this home and actually go inside…the house is lovely. Warm, inviting furnishings. Comfortable bedrooms. Everything was really nice. But back to the view. We spent most of our time outside on the deck enjoying the spectacular view of the TN river. . It was perfect. We hardly left the house as we joyed the view so much. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay.

Absolutely Gorgeous Vacation Rental
The house was very clean and I couldn’t believe how spacious it is. Myself and my two adult children stayed for the week and we were very comfortable. The kitchen is beautiful and provided us with everything that we needed to prepare dinners, which saved us time and money over eating out all week. The view off the back deck is AMAZING! Getting down to the river can be exhausting because the hill is quite steep but there is a sidewalk and we all went down everyday. My son is an avid fisherman and enjoyed his time on the dock. The road along the river can be challenging at times, but once you reach the cabin (which is clearly marked at the road) it’s comfortable and feels like “home”.
