About this house rental

20 minutes from downtown (Tennessee Aquarium Imax Theater, Chattanooga Choo Choo, Ruby Falls, Rock City, and so much more)

Get away from it all and still have high speed internet and multiple TVs

Spacious outdoor deck with refrigerator and sitting area right next to river, three comfortable decks off the back of the house (one screened in), plus a huge attached patio with a grill and dinning table for six, a floating dock for those who bring a boat, and both bedrooms and entertainment room and kitchen overlook the Tennessee River.

Just recently, renovations were made to the house that include updated bathrooms and kitchen, full paint job and new flooring in parts, and all new furniture. The key to this rental home is the setting, huge grass yard, pavilion and dock, fabulous views of the river and surrounding mountains, and tons of clean/renovated space for ten. And for full disclosure, we inspect the home inside and out just before any renters arrive, so the interior should be perfect, but there is a chance that our local spiders and bugs might build some webs in the interim so be ready to be away from the city and in nature.

This cabin comfortably sleeps ten (10), with 1 king sized bed in the master bedroom on the main level with a full bath and a bunk room off the bathroom for little ones (these twin beds are in the back closet of the bathroom and should not be considered for use with adults or anyone who wants their own bedroom...think of this as a pull out couch in the greatroom...doesn't apply to everyone, but can be very useful for some), one (1) queen sized bed with it's own bathroom, and (2) twins in another bedroom upstairs (you have to go through this bedroom to get to the master....a weird layout...we agree)as well as one (1) queen sized bed with a full kitchen and bathroom in a large TV/game room with games and a pool table (all downstairs with it's own entrance).

There are two fireplaces inside the home, but they are now decorative and do not burn wood or gas logs. There is an outdoor fire area on the patio, but the indoor fireplaces do not function.

Maximum occupancy at all times is 10 people.

This property is about 12 miles from downtown, but sometimes feels further because of the slow, narrow, winding river road. The view is fantastic however, and provides a wonderful way to slow down from hectic daily life!

Swimming: The home is on the Tennessee River which is an active river with water flow. The ability to swim in front of the house depends on the amount of water flow the dam upstream is releasing. There is also a shallow cut out area downstream from the dock that allows you to get in and out easy (yes, it is muddy as it is a riverbed), but it is very gradual. I would equate the question of age and ability to swim as I would to swimming in the ocean. If there are huge waves and an undercurrent, you know to stay near the shore. If there is a lot of water flow in front of the dock, I would stay near the shore. Most of the time, it is safe for swimmers to swim off the dock and off the shore, but of course, you need to look at conditions and use your best judgement.

Dock: The home has a nice dock that will hold up to a 20 foot boat easily. There are boat rental places around (as of this message, Hales Bar Marina Rents them as well as a place on Suck Creek Road (just Google Boat rentals in Chattanooga and make sure they are on the river). Also, Jesse, with River Gorge Excursions (www.rivergorgeexcursions.com) will give $20 discount if you enter "vacation" at checkout. Gas is either in Chattanooga or Hales Bar so keep that in mind. You are more than welcome to bring your boat (and that is one of the benefits of this home with a large covered dock), but as I said, keep fuel replenishment in the back of our mind. There is a nice long boat put in on the way to the home if you are coming from Chattanooga. There is plenty of room to store the trailer at the house, but it is a tight and winding road to get there, so be careful make sure you know how to pull a trailer if you bring it to the house.

Grill and firewood (for the outdoor fireplace only): There is a charcoal grill on property. We have provided charcoal and firewood in the past, but some renters use it all up before we can restock, so please bring your own. If that is a challenge, let me know and I will see if we can ensure there is some for your stay.

Bugs/snakes/critters/spiderwebs: I want to be very clear on this. We are obsessive about providing an extremely clean property, but this home is on the river and is out in nature, so if you see some of nature, please know that we have done our best. The home is on the river and basically surrounded by woods, so there will be spider webs and water bugs and other things found in nature. We spray all the time for bugs, and we get rid of spider webs before each guest, but they do come back. Also, if lights are left on outside next to the river, you will have a ton of waterbugs show up. If the inside has issues with any bugs, it is on us, if it is outside, then it is a gift from Him. THERE IS A LARGE CHANCE THAT YOU WILL SEE BUGS AND SPIDERWEBS OUTSIDE, ESPECIALLY IN THE SUMMER....AGAIN, YOU MOST LIKELY WILL SEE BUGS AND SPIDERWEBS OUTSIDE DURING YOUR STAY. WE CANNOT STOP NATURE

The Chattanooga, TN-GA Metropolitan Area, is an area consisting of six counties – three in southeast Tennessee (Hamilton, Marion, and Sequatchie) and three in northwest Georgia (Catoosa, Dade, and Walker) – anchored by the city of Chattanooga.

Came up from North Alabama on our boat. Spent the weekend. Excellent access and boat dock. Short run to down town Chattanooga on the water. The property is in an excellent location to enjoy quiet time on the water. Excellent views. Will utilize the property again in the future.

The property itself is gorgeous. The view is spectacular, and it feels very private and peaceful! I loved this part of it for sure. The house itself has some interesting aspects. The views from the master are wonderful, and we enjoyed the screened in porch. All in all, this house did not meet our needs well though. We had 6 adults, and we very much wanted to spend time together and the living area and eating area did not fit all of us. Both areas are set up for four people max, and we had six. The only table that fit six was outside in the elements. We ate there one night, but it was very hot, and very buggy. We couldn’t all sit together and play games either. The inside seating is stools for four, and two can sit at the peninsula, but you aren’t all around a table. Also, the screened porch was nice to have, but it was small and had only comfortable seating for four, the rest were stools. They provide kayaks which was very nice, but there was no seating down at the doc area. There is a fire pit with no seating and an old outdoor fireplace, but the seating is at a patio below it which is a table and chairs. There are lots of spiders and spider webs everywhere. The jets on the tub didn’t work, and the water smelled just awful. I believe there must be a great deal of sulfur in Thankfully they have filtered water to drink. The master bed and the other full bed were horribly squeaky each time you moved, not allowing for good sleep. Definitely room for improvement.

We had a great time at the River house. The location was beautiful and the river was calm and peaceful. There was alot if things to do with the canoe, kayaks, fishing, game room, grill and fire pit. The set up was a little strange with the 3 bedrooms but beds were comfortable and the house was clean and lots of space for everyone. We enjoyed seeing Chattanooga and learning some if the history. Must see places.. rock city, ruby falls, lookout mountain, point park, aquarium. Great food everywhere we tried. Only thing that would have made it better would be a new swim ladder and hammock. Brad was responsive and great to keep us informed and made sure we had propane for the grill and firewood for the fire pit. We had a great time at the River house and would enjoy coming back some day!

We had a great time. Brian’s house is well stocked with everything you want. We were a group of 10 from 10 to 70 years old. We used his canoe, kayaks, barbecue grill, fire pit, and fishing poles. Our expert fisherman caught a nice bass along the stone wall. The rest of us were happy catching the many little fish near the docks. The sunrise over the mountain with the deer across the river was majestic. I read reviews about no dining table. If you pull the tables away from the wall and use all the stools, it’s a great set up. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

House and property were great. Family had a great time fishing and outdoor activities. Fire pit was great for sitting outside in the evenings. Only recommendation would be: few more towels, utensils and coffee mugs. Had a great time would recommend to any family.
