About this property
Private Multi Family Retreat on 5 Acres!
Imagine watching deer stroll through forest from the sauna after hiking one of 30 trails within 20 min of our 5 acre oasis!
Imagine enjoying a glass of wine in the hot tub or a margarita in the plunge pool while the kids play ping pong in earshot...
Create memories and connect with loved ones at our retreat just a short drive from Nashville, Chattanooga & Huntsville!
Guests will not have interaction with the hosts. However, we are available whenever you need us!
Walk out of our door and enjoy light hiking trails in the neighborhood or hop in the car to do more difficult hikes within 15 min!
Think cute mountain town meets sophisticated artist's retreat. The liberal arts college in town, University of the South provides incredible artisan culture that can be felt throughout the town.
Our neighborhood is called 'Deep Woods' for a reason. Secluded and quiet, it's almost impossible not to relax when you arrive!
Guests will access the property using smart locks.
PRIVACY & TOGETHERNESS: Our home is ideal for multiple families or groups looking for a space to be together while still having privacy when needed. The home features a large open concept living/kitchen area to be together in the 'main cabin' as well as 3 additional private guest quarters for couples to escape to at the end of the night.

GUEST COUNT GUIDE:
Check floor plans for details. Bedrooms 4, 5 & 6 are all private studio containers with a bathroom, kitchen area and private viewing deck. Our home is comfortable for 11 people and tight for 16. If you have 12 + in your group, please note that you will be using futons & cots in addition to the beds.
STEP FREE ACCESS
(For Bookings with Mobility Challenged Guests)
The main living and kitchen area where guests congregate can be accessed with zero steps. There are 2 bedrooms and bathrooms in this area. Both of the bathrooms have a tub/shower.
FIRST TIME STAYING IN A SHIPPING CONTAINER HOME?
You're not alone! We get tons of questions - Many asking, "Is this a 'normal' home?" - The answer is, yes! The outside looks extremely unique, but once you're inside, you'll forget you're in a shipping container because of the comfortable design and thoughtful touches throughout the home. Split units keep our home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Please note, all of the bedrooms are single containers and therefore, are narrow. The photos show this as the containers are the width of queen/king size beds. Additionally, this is still a cabin in the woods! It is an upscale cabin, yet imperfect. If you are looking for hotel quality perfection, please consider booking elsewhere.
PET AMENITIES
1. Fenced in area for the pups!
2. Paw Wiping Towels
3. 'Poo Bags'
4. Dog Waste Trash Cans
Pet Fee: $125 for first pet, $75 dollars per additional pets. Please add your pets to the listing prior to booking. We ask for $125 for the convenience of having your fur baby on vacation and for the extra clean up of waste and fur. No breed restrictions, maximum of 4 pets. Rovers in our area are 30-40 dollars per night if you prefer to have a pet free vacation!
