Nestled into the boulders at our nature retreat, The Bird House welcomes you to enjoy a unique stay in a modern treehouse. Woodland trails on 30+ acres meander throughout our property and two nearby creeks offer seasonal swimming holes and exploration. This distinctive spot is both a place of respite for those seeking time in nature and conveniently located to downtown Chattanooga. It's a perfect place for couples and families looking to escape or explore all Chattanooga has to offer.
The space
This modern treehouse is a unique space where luxury meets nature. You'll find everything you need to enjoy a very comfortable stay at our nature retreat just 8 miles from downtown Chattanooga.
The Bird House, entirely your own to enjoy, is two distinct cabins joined by a covered porch. One side of the cabin offers a massive king-size bed, smart TV, and an open concept bathroom with a gorgeous walk-in shower. The other side has a modern kitchen with a vintage flair that's well appointed for all your culinary needs as well as a living room with a smart TV and a full-size pull-out couch. Both sides have beautiful forest and mountain views!
The Bird House is nested between boulders and trees on more than 30 acres at our nature retreat. And our backyard is Prentice Cooper State Forest with its 25,000 acres of semi-protected land. We have trails throughout the property to explore. There are two nearby creeks that offer seasonal blue hole swimming. Sulphur Branch, the creek just behind The Bird House, is easy to access. And Suck Creek, a local favorite, is just on the other side of Suck Creek Road from the property. A large fire pit with boulder benches is in the front yard for fireside chats and marshmallow roasting. We also have a gas grill ready for you.
The Bird House is one of four cabins at our nature retreat where our family has been working for years to create a rare space for our guests to enjoy. Each cabin was either built by us from local materials or remodeled by us to be a unique space for you to experience.
Born and raised here in Chattanooga, this land is the place we choose to raise our children - surrounded by nature and the incredible beauty of the Tennessee River Gorge. For the past three years we hosted a small outdoor school for children on our property. It has since moved across the street, but you can still find some of our outdoor classrooms in the forest.
Guest access
You are free to roam the entire property, exploring the trails and creeks throughout. Water levels in the nearby creeks depend on the amount of recent rainfall.
The Bird House is one of four cabins at our nature retreat. We would love for you to stay at all of them! You can find links under my host profile for more information about each cabin.
There are two devoted parking spaces at The Bird House as well as plenty of overflow parking nearby.
Again, please note, The Bird House has two distinct sides (Kitchen/Living room & Bedroom/Bathroom) joined by a covered porch. Each side is accessed via their own door with a lockbox. This is a unique space that we love, but it may not be everyone's favorite layout.
Other things to note
Please note, some road noise can be expected here at The Bird House as the cabin is next to a main thoroughfare. Sulphur Branch creek also runs just behind the cabin, so you can anticipate sounds of rushing water. We have a sound machine at the cabin for your use.
Please take note of the layout of Bird House. The bathroom has an open floorplan where an accent wall (without a door) separates the bathroom from the bedroom. There is no lack of privacy, however, as both sides of Bird House can be curtained & closed.
All the water for The Bird House is filtered from a pristine spring and tastes wonderful (like nothing at all really), so there's no need to bring bottled water. We have a whole house filter in place as well as a Brita water pitcher in the fridge.
We have a tankless water heater so each guest can enjoy hot showers! And each side of The Bird House has its own mini split unit to perfectly control the heat & air inside.
We straddle the Eastern and Central time zones. Be aware that cell phones may alternate between the two when in this area, but we abide by Eastern Standard Time (as does the rest of Chattanooga).
