About this property

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!

Fun house next to national wilderness with great trails

If you're looking for a secluded place with lots of character that can accommodate a large group, this is the place for you! It's an old farmhouse that has been added onto to create multiple bedrooms and living areas. If you like a sterile hotel room or new property, this is not your place. But if you like something that's kooky and fun, with lots to look at, then I recommend it! The property is beautiful and connects to the Little River Canyon National Preserve. You can literally walk out the back door and be on lovely wooded trails in minutes. I would definitely book this place again for a group. And Ray and Barbara are extremely responsive to any questions and needs.

Annual Friends and Family Get Together

The Farmhouse was perfect for our group. Everything we needed for a great weekend visiting inside and outside by the campfire was available. The kitchen was well stocked, and the layout of the house was perfect for large group gatherings as well as small group visiting. The kids loved the upstairs room with multiple twin beds and the bedrooms were laid out perfectly for each family to have some privacy. We are definitely considering making this trip again next year.

Unique and secluded

This is an old farm house with plenty of spaces for gathering or being alone. Lots of unique features. The beds were comfortable; nice towels; we enjoyed the library; kitchen was well stocked; hosts were responsive. It is out in the boonies if that’s what you want. Quiet except for dogs barking one night.

Family Christmas

We all had a most enjoyable weekend at the Farmhouse. We were able to be in one room together or to spread throughout the house to pursue our own interests. The kitchen and dining areas were wonderful as the Cousin Crew loved eating together.

80th birthday weekend

We gathered together, a mixture of families and spent a long weekend celebrating two in our family turning 80. The overnight guests ranged from 9 to 14. There was more room than we could have ever imagined. The house was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for our stay. We would definitely return!

Memes mountain trip

We all had a wonderful time! Turned out perfect for our family. I will say the pictures on VRBO are a little misleading. The grounds were not the manicure lawns shown and there were other cabins on the property close to the house that you do not see in the pictures. But it did turn out great for us!

Family reunion

We had the best time at the Farmhouse. We had ages 41 to 86 and all in-between. Most rooms are easy enough for the seniors to access, but a couple are out of reach for them. They had trouble getting on the tall beds but once there everyone slept well. There is so much space to enjoy each other or spread out for separate conversations. And the kitchen is so well stocked! The owners are so nice and quickly responded to any questions. Highly recommend!

Ray and Bobbie were great hosts. At first we were a bit confused by the layout of the house but it quickly grew on us. By the end we found its quirkiness to be fun and inviting. We would most definitely stay there again. Thanks again, Bobbie and Ray!

Fantastic House!

The house was terrific. The beds were comfy. There were many places to congregate and sit. The decor was really intriguing, and there was good communication with the property managers. We had a wonderful time. There was one thing we would have liked and that is WiFi. However, we were able to use hotspots to connect with the internet. Also, be advised that there is no ice maker, so if you need ice, bring it!

What childhood should be!

We stayed here with 10 kids and 6 adults. It was AMAZING! There was adventure for the kids around the property, campfires to be had, and serene spaces for the adults. The house was sprawling so the kids could easily be having a loud silly time on one side of the house, while the adults talked in the kitchen. I’m not sure that this would be as relaxing with toddlers, but with school aged kids and teenagers it was FANTASTIC! We hiked to the swimming hole. The kids put on plays. It was so so nice. We communicated with the owners several times and they were SO accommodating and nice. The house was very cozy, and not too fancy, so it felt ok to let the kids be kids. As a parent you know that is a relief!

Youth Group Guys Retreat

This is the fifth time I've used the Farmhouse for our youth group's Guys Retreat, and I will continue to go back as long as I'm in charge of that trip. The cabin is clean, spacious, and perfect for groups of 15-25 people. Its proximity Chattanooga is perfect for a day trip to any of the various things the city has to offer. And the land around the cabin is great for hiking, athletics, and other outdoor facilities. Last but not least, Ray and Bobby do a wonderful job of hosting and making sure that you, as a group, are taken care of.
