The main floor is made up of a Bedroom with a Local Artisan crafted Queen. Hickory , Log bed, closet & the main bathroom with shower & tub just a few steps away. The mirror in this bathroom is also handcrafted by a local artist & made of local woods & branches. Also in this bathroom is a washer, dryer.

The living room area with an entire wall of windows & pine cathedral ceiling is perfect for relaxing with a book, or to enjoy a Movie on our 43 inch, flat screen, Roku TV. The corner electric fireplace/heater is just what you need during cool times to take the chill off. In warmer times, use just the flames to feel as though you are sitting by a campfire. We have central Heat & Air as well . The stairs lead to the loft bedroom & another wonderful local Artisan Art piece is there to greet you.

Our stay at Buzzard’s Roost

My husband and I have experienced many short-term rentals, as our children live all over the globe. As we left Buzzards Roost this morning, we agreed, this is the best place we ever stayed at, with the most involved and helpful host. We loved our short getaway and plan to return soon and often.

Ideal location for nature and city.

We had a great stay in this mountain cabin retreat with a beautiful view. Pretty ideal location to enjoy nature - just 5 minutes from one of the best state parks around - but not too far away to experience the city of Chattanooga and all it has to offer. Really nice balance of the two.

Cozy Cottage

Very nice place. Very clean. Great View from the deck. Easy road access. Although it has room for only one vehicle unless you park on the looped driveway. There is one turn between two trees that would be very tight for a large vehicle.It was a little difficult to find the key where it was placed. The directions were clear but I misinterpretted the location of where they were.There are several steps to go up to the cabin. watch the first rock that leads to the stairs. it wobbles a little. the rock placed under it had slid out so i replaced it and it was fine then.There were plenty of towels for use with the hot tub. The hot tub was great and offered a fantastic view. The house next door is a little close but there are trees to somewhat block the view of the hot tub from the neighbor. So if you are shy ....LOL..If travelling with another couple (we were not) note that the main bedroom IS a loft and open to the downstairs. It offers a wonderful view of the sunrise and you can see forever across the valley through the huge windows.The kitchen is small and tight but very usable with all utensils supplied.Overall, it was great place to visit. It had a few quirks but they were not near enough to outweigh the benefits. The owner was easy to contact and pleasurable to speak with.

A Christmas Getaway

We enjoyed our stay during the Christmas Holiday. Everything was perfect and as pictured. We did have a rather LARGE vehicle (3500 HD) which made the driveway curves tedious to navigate but not impossible. Next time we will bring a smaller vehicle.

Stunning views in one of the most peaceful places!

Lookout Mountain/Buzzards Roost is AMAZING! So beautiful and peaceful surrounded by stunning views. Sunrise off the deck was GORGEOUS as well as the stars at night ❤️ We had a great time in this warm & cozy place and loved we could bring our pooch along. We dressed up as Hippies for Halloween and were lucky enough to find a Hippie book amongst all the other fantastic books here❤️We hope to return sometime soon. Gail is a wonderful host.

Relaxing getaway

This cozy cabin was a relaxing anniversary getaway, easy to get to, beautiful surroundings, convenient to several good restaurants.(can recommend The Creag and Canyon Grill) Enjoyed the hot tub, view and cool mountain breezes. However, if you are a side sleeper, I suggest bringing your own memory foam, the beds are very firm.
