About this property

The Ole Pole Barn at Dry Creek Hideaways

We are approximately 11 miles from Chattanooga, TN, but also are located even closer to many dining establishments, movie theatre, bowling alley, supermarkets and golf courses. While it is nice being close to everything, it is always pleasant when you come in after a busy day to a peaceful sanctuary and this is what you'll find taking a short piece down a private drive to a gated entrance that opens up to two homes on almost 4 acres that are nestled between the trees.
The Ole Pole Barn been remodeled into a cozy cabin for two in a private park-like setting. Enjoy the large deck and if it starts to rain, grab the umbrella and go the patio to listen to the sound of rain on the tin roof. Your cabin also has a park grill in front of the deck. The cabin is equipped with 2 Roku Smart TV's, fully equipped kitchen, washer, dryer and more.

In the common area, there are picnic tables, a park grill, swing and a firepit with wood supplied. There are corn hole boards and bags available upon request.


We do live on the property and there is a 10' x 20' movie screen with drive-in movie speakers. On occasion we do show movies and guests are free to join at no charge. If you have your own projector that has sound, you are more than welcome to use the movie screen. We have a table or tripod available for use upon request.

We have just renovated a building on the property that was made of windows and doors with glass. It has been repurposed into a studio with the intention of having painting classes for guests in the future. In the meantime, our guests can visit "Windows into Creation," and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea in the sitting area with the outdoor views all around, but still in that perfect temperature.

We are pet friendly, limit 2; dogs only, with pet fee of $35.00 for the first pet and $15.00 for the second. Please let us know if you are bringing your fur babies.
**We do have a $500.00 deposit fee that is fully refundable if no damages are incurred.**


KNOW BEFORE YOU BOOK and this is WHY:
We want our guests to be happy and that our photos and description be representative of where you will stay and what to expect, if any of the things listed below are something that would cause you not to enjoy your visit, then we had rather for you to continue looking to find that perfect getaway and thank you for looking at our place:
The private drive that brings you to our property is about a tenth of a mile; with private being said, this is not a road kept up by the county so is a little rough, but not a problem for most cars unless they are extremely low to the ground. On the good side of this, this keeps most people off our little road and adds to the privacy you'll find when you get back here.
Note that the barn has a tin roof without an attic, so when it rains hard, it does get pretty loud.

Being beside Choo Choo (Chattanooga) city, there is a train crossing about a mile from the property, so if you're outside you will hear the trains blowing. You will hear the train from inside the Ole Pole Barn, but for most, it is not so loud that it is bothersome. We provide fans for those who like the white noise.

Basic paper products are provided to get you started on your trip; however, guests are responsible for any toiletry, paper product needs (aside from coffee filters) during your stay. We provide liquid soap at all sinks during your entire stay. Shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, toothpaste, toothbrush and lotion are available upon request: if you would like these to be available when you arrive, please let us know.

Lookout Mt. get away with my 2 dogs

My two dogs and I really enjoyed our stay at your cabin. It was just the nice size to be really cozy and loved the deck to be able to sit outside with the dogs and listen to all the birds. The train was an additional bonus.The only thing I would have liked to have was a Keurig coffee maker in the cabin.Looking forward to another visit later in the year.

Always a Pleasure

We found this vrbo gem and stayed with them last year to celebrate our grandson's first birthday. This is the most comfortable VRBO we have ever stayed in - so we booked again this year for birthday #2! We will be back and we wouldn't stay anywhere else in Hixson TN! The property owners are the BEST! Thank you again!

Perfect

This is the kind of place you instantly feel cozy as soon as you walk in the door. We were only here 2 nights and actually there was a winter storm going on. The view was gorgeous. The bed was comfy , the kitchen had everything we needed and we could stay forever. We hope to come back when the weather is nicer. We loved it

Ole Pole Barn

We had an amazing stay at the Ole Pole Barn! Richard and April are amazing hosts. They greeted us upon our arrival, made themselves available for any issues, questions or concerns that may have arisen (none did), and respected our privacy during our stay. The unit was extremely well equipped and they added many extra touches to the home and surrounding property to make any stay very enjoyable. We look forward to visiting the area again and we'll definitely stay at the property when we do!!

Perfect weekend getaway!

I, my husband and our dog stayed Friday through Monday at the Ole Barn Pole. The location was within 15-30 minutes of everything we wanted to do in Chattanooga! We felt safe being on the gated property. Robert and his wife were great host and had great communication! The yard space was perfect for our griffon who we knew would need space to run. We also loved the king size bed! We hope to be back!

Second stay this year!

Robert and April have the loveliest property in Chattanooga. It's so convenient to EVERYTHING, but the cabin is surrounded by nature and quiet beauty. And the cabin itself is so cozy and beautifully decorated with lovely personal touches. We go to Chattanooga a few times a year and as long as the Dry Creek cabin is available, this is where we will always choose to stay.

Perfect Cabin Outside Chatt!

My husband and I visited the area to climb at the famed bouldering destination, Stone Fort. We stayed at the Ole Pole Barn with our old dog, and we absolutely fell in love with the cabin. We were ready to move in. We had absolutely no issues cooking all of our own meals, as the kitchen is generously outfitted with all of the equipment you coumd ever need. The home is decorated thoughtfully, making for a cozy, country feel. Theres a plus king bed a full bathroom,

Enjoyed the amazing hospitality and looking forward to staying here again. Robert and April were great hosts, and we enjoyed the relaxing and quiet time on the porch.

About the host

Hosted by Robert and April Sharp

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Robert. I recently retired after over 30 years with a large trucking company and my wife, April is an RN, at a large corporation she has been with for over 20 years. We originally bought the property for the purpose of having loved ones close, which we have since lost. We enjoy meeting others, so thought this type of business would provide us the opportunity to do that as well as to make someone else's vacation/get away special by having the things we look for when traveling.

Why they chose this property

We liked the location. It is close to everything needed, but it feels like it is in the country, so kind of a country/city, best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

Close to everything but gated and secluded.
