This was the perfect place for a relaxing vacation. Mgmt was great and very communicative. They really had everything we needed and the house was clean and organized. Perfect place for families that have someone with mobility issues. 25 minute ride to Chattanooga was super easy. We cannot recommend this place enough.

Amazing property and host!

Theresa was helpful and responsive from the beginning, before during and after our stay. The house was amazing. There was plenty to do there without ever leaving! The home was beautiful, accessible for an 85 y/o in a wheelchair and her daughter with MS that uses a walker. Perfect place for families!

Beautiful home for a large group in a peaceful community

This very spacious home was the perfect girls weekend getaway for 10 women. The home is FULLY stocked from kitchen to bathrooms to outdoor fun - the only thing we needed to bring was food and drinks. Theresa provided spot on directions to the house as well as easy entry and even has gone the extra touch providing fresh flowers and a reliable wifi throughout with a home networking mesh system. The backyard toys, hot tub, firepit, bird feeders, corn and hummingbird feeder made for a relaxing atmosphere and added bonus were the visits from all the wildlife. We saw only 3 cars the entire weekend! The location is perfect for hiking with the Cumberland Trail literally at the edge of the property and several trails very close by. With only a short drive to Chattanooga, you get the best of both - experience the touristy sites and peacefulness of the TN country life. We highly recommend this home for families and groups.

Quick weekend between camps

I wish we had more time! Family of four, and two fur kids, decided on this home as our stop between sleep away camps. WOW! We’ve stayed in a fair number of homes, and this one exceeds all expectations. From the owners availability to its proximity to outdoor fun, not to mention the serene surroundings-#1! Also, you won’t need for anything. Theresa has it covered! Head to Big Soddy Gulf, 8 min down the road. So fun! Super clean, very comfortable, games, more kitchenware than expected, chocolates on arrival, actually sharp knives, beds/pillows/linens lovely, no complaints!

Quiet Mountain Oaisis

We did a short stay with my family of four and my brother and nephew….there was more than ample space for us all to spread out. We loved the secluded private neighborhood, the hot tub was nice after a few mile hike on the Cumberland trail (conveniently located across the street). The fire pit was relaxing too and it was nice that Theresa had plenty of chopped firewood available. There was cornhole, horseshoes, and other games for us to kill time while we decided what to do in town or hiking. Theresa was also very helpful and available for any questions. A great quiet mountain oasis….would stay again for sure!!

Wonderful Christmas Visit

Our whole family enjoyed their Christmas visit in Soddy-Daisy. The home was beautifully decorated! There was room for everyone to enjoy games, conversations, cooking, movies indoors. The entrance to the Cumberland trail was adjacent to the property. Hiking was fun and challenging! The yard was spacious for more outdoor activities. We would highly recommend this vacation property!

A Soddy Daisy Christmas

We hosted Christmas this year and had family members come to Soddy from 4 different states. We chose this VRBO for the 15 of us to celebrate together, with 8 adults, a toddler and a baby staying at this beautiful house (the rest stayed with us, as we live in Soddy). It means the world to me that my family had such a wonderful time. A few of them said it was the best rental property they had ever stayed at. Beautiful scenery. Very peaceful, with a sky full of stars at night. Steps away from amazing hiking. Plenty of space for everyone. Huge private parking lot. Cooking and eating full dinners every night, including grilling steaks on the large grill in the wrap-around porch. Firepit and a swing in the big backyard. Huge smart tvs with all the apps. Fully stocked with everything including the kitchen, the playroom, the bathrooms; it has everything you need for a home away from home. Theresa is a generous, thoughtful host who thinks of all the details, including a welcome gift and note, and offering plenty of suggestions to fully enjoy our experience. Excellent communication. Very clean house that smelled great. I trusted this very important family event with her and her property, and am so thankful that I did. She is wonderful, as is her home. If you can book this house, do it and you’ll enjoy all it has to offer.

Beautiful property!

We meet up with our friends each year or so to camp in the mountains with our pets. I found this beautiful house and it was absolutely amazing. Super clean, nicely furnished, well stocked. Everyone had their own space. The beds were comfy, the showers were nice, the kitchen was awesome. We played cornhole, used the campfire, hiked the trail right out back. Our friends have a 17 and 10 year old and they had a blast playing with all the outdoor games. The kitchen is stocked with practically everything you need. We used the air fryer and the waffle maker multiple times. There's a 2nd full size fridge on the 1st floor too which was nice. Theresa had maps of the trails out back which I was glad I took pictures of because we got lost coming back! The hike was really steep and rocky and covered by fall leaves so maybe not the best for everyone, but still beautiful and a lot of fun. There's also a lot of little places close by to visit by car like the Soddy Daisy fishing Pier where we caught a few fish. Also the North Chicamauga Creek Gorge is beautiful and Big Soddy Creek Gulf. In late October the water is really low so not a lot of flowing water but still beautiful with fall leaves. Chester Frost Park is 20 mins away, TN Riverwalk and downtown Chattanooga is 30, Rock City Gardens is 41.. all well worth the beautiful drive from Nagi Tanka which was perfect in the gated community. Theresa is a fantastic host and we loved our time in this beautiful house and property.

Quick Getaway and Birthday Celebration

Our stay was wonderful! The house was perfect and had everything we could have ever needed for our short time. GPS was right on getting us there - but in the dark, it could be difficult ( 4 star rating). Very private and beautiful setting. Clean!! Our grandchildren enjoyed the game room and the out door setting. Theresa was quick to respond and very helpful. (might be a good idea to put away all personal items left in the bathroom (ie toothbrushes and such left out??). Overall, an ideal place to stay for many people ( we only had 6). THANKS so much!

About the host

Hosted by Theresa A Averbeck

This 40-acre private subdivision was created by a vision of my son, Cody, after discovering it from climbing and developing the Deep Creek climbing access and sharing interest with the connection of the Cumberland Trail through out Tennessee. There are currently 4 homes in our neighborhood with 3-5 acres separating each, thus a back to nature experience sharing the land with deer, turkey, an occasional bear and mountain cat. I am an outdoor enthusiast and want to pay it forward sharing my home with families that want to reconnect, relax, and experience nature.

Why they chose this property

Why this Cabin? : We all know there's a big difference between being NEAR the beach or ski hill and being ON the beach or ski hill. This new cabin is ON the Cumberland Trail with a lifetime of outdoor adventure walkable from the back door and is where you want to be for outdoor activity. From the adjacent Deep Creek trailhead, you can explore the Deep Creek and Big Soddy rock climbing areas and the continuous 30-mile section of the beautiful Three Gorges section of the Cumberland Trail offering hiking, swimming, fishing, and trail running. Additional outings include nearby hand gliding, bouldering at the Cumberland Boulders and Stone Fort located within 2 miles of the cabin and all of the family friendly activities offered in nearby Chattanooga located only 25 minutes from cabin.

What makes this property unique

Walkable outdoor activity from the back door of this cabin including: rock climbing, hiking, trail running, fishing and swimming about 4 miles away. The area is associated with all the fun times that the town of Chattanooga has to offer. For the adventurist, look into white water rafting on the Ocoee, Nantahala, or Hiawasee Rivers. Caving at Ruby Falls and Hand Gliding at Lookout Mountain. Bouldering on top of Mowbry Mountain, sport climbing at Deep Creek and Lower and Upper Leda also on Mowbry. Guide books at the cabin to use as well as clip stick and crash pad. When the rainfall is adequate, the Big Soddy creates fun family hiking and swimming along the creeks. The Tennessee River offers swimming, fishing, at Chester Frost Park and Irwin Marina. My parking area is suitable for boat parking, and can park 15 cars.
