About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

7BR/4BA, Sleeps 21! Adjoins National Park. Trails / Pond. Lookout Mtn. Cabin

Perfect for large groups that are looking for a secluded, rustic location, with wildlife, beautiful surroundings, direct access to miles of trails, and you can walk to a crystal clear swimming hole. After you spend a day hiking the trails, swimming, exploring the local waterfalls, or shopping, come back and enjoy a relaxing campfire and do some star gazing!

The rural Farmhouse with seven bedrooms, a huge kitchen and a large screened porch, this home is set up perfectly for groups. This 20-acre property adjoins the 14,000 acre Little River Canyon National Preserve / Desoto State Park. After walking out your back porch, passing the volleyball court / playing field / pond, you walk directly to trails that will take you to the Shigley swimming hole on the West Fork of the Little River. The miles of trails run along the Little River canyon rim and offer many areas to explore or just sit and relax while watching the river flow by! And, even though we allow children and infants the house is not child-proof.

If you want to explore the area, Chattanooga is nearby along with its world class aquarium, Rock City, and Ruby Falls. There are opportunities for zip lines, cave tours, guided night hikes, visiting the Orbix Glass Blowing Factory, horse back riding and more, right on Lookout Mountain. Visiting Unclaimed Baggage in Scottsboro is a unique experience and only an hour away. Driving 30 minutes past Scottsboro brings you to Huntsville, and the U.S. Space and Rocket Center.

If you are looking for a great place to stay in the country for your next family reunion, you've found the right place. You won't beat the location or the price!

My family group of 11 spent a fantastic Thanksgiving holiday in this fun, quirky, wonderful house! We all had a blast cooking together, lounging in one of the 3 sitting areas, reading in one of the many little nooks and hiking the 20 acre property! The owners were also wonderful and so kind.

We had the very best time. It was too cold to do some things but we made the very best of it. I loved how spacious the place was. I loved that this farm house is a conversation piece. Every room has a story. The owners are so awesome. Always respond within a few min. And always so nice. Thank you for having us.
