The property was better than advertise. The owner took good care of us and everything was better than advertised. This is a perfect to get away for a large group.
Could not have been more happy with the property. It was perfect for our group of 12 people. We golfed at McLemore and it was an ideal location for that.
100% would stay again. Jon was a pleasure to work with.
House was decorated for Christmas and very nice. Location was beautiful but since it’s about 30 min away from most things we cooked in. Plenty of towels, tissue, cooking supplies, etc. The only thing that was a little confusing is we didn’t realize the whole description was two homes so not everyone had their own bathroom.
Drive to the property as well as the property was beautiful! The swimming pool was a big hit and I really appreciated the fact that there was plenty of seating on the deck, indoors, and out by the pool.
We had 19 people staying at the main lodge, the auxiliary house, and the carriage house.
There was plenty of room for all of us. Great spaces to gather as a family for eating, chatting, etc.
Beautiful views all around and the pool was great
John (owner) was extremely attentive and communicative.
Would return!
Beautiful lodge for a larger family to enjoy the scenery with a country setting. Plenty of room for 20 people to sleep and cook meals. Kids loved the swimming pool and adults loved the hot tub. The lodge was close enough to enjoy Rock City, Lookout Mountain, Ruby Falls and other attractions around Chattanooga Tennessee.
We had our family there. Grandparents down to great grandchildren. It was a wonderful place to stay. We enjoyed the pool and the hot tub and the big yard. We played volleyball and through frisbee. Had a wonderful time. The host were exceptionally attentive. Great trip. Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy many of the things we didn’t have time for
Had a great stay here Labor Day for a family reunion. Beautiful property; everyone, esp kids loved the pool and hot tub. Made several hikes to the really nice creek on the property. Also a short trip to a nearby waterfall, which was dry but still a scenic hike. Owner was very accessible and nice throughout the process.
We had an amazing time at this beautiful home. We had 20 family members staying and had more than enough room. The property is just as beautiful as the house. It was so calm and relaxing. Jon was such a gracious host. He checked in on us and made sure we were always taken care of. We will certainly be going back
We were so impressed with this wonderful lodge and all the fun activities available. Our grandchildren loved being there and hated to leave. There is lots of room in the kitchen and den and the deck surrounding most of the lodge was super nice, allowing us to view the mountains, stars and moon. The pool and hot tub were big hits for the grandkids as well. Jon was especially nice and helpful in explaining all we needed to know. We highly recommend this excellent lodge!!!
This place was very special and I’m grateful to have found it for a short family celebration. I would have loved to stay longer. There was plenty of room for us to convene, cook, rock on the porch. The owner/proprieter John was very helpful before and during our stay. I highly recommend this place. It’s worth the money!
Jon is a perfect host! He answered questions and gave us helpful information and checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. The lodge was spotless! With plenty of activities for all ages. There were 14 of us and we were all comfortable. Thank you Jon!

A great time for large families
Our large family rents a different house every year for vacation. This year we had a great experience at The Lodge. We played softball in the large field, the little ones enjoyed wading in the creek and catching fish and all relaxed in the pool every day. We hope to return to Jon's excellent hospitality and the beauty of the area.
Our team stayed here. Jon the host was very responsive and house fit our needs well. Be aware there are a few rooms with windows or doors that don't have fixed walls between spaces, so sometimes caused for them to have difficulty going to bed before the rest of the group (due to hearing the common spaces). Our group loved it, and would gladly go back and stay!
Beautiful and spacious property. Very peaceful. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because we could not use the tower room. You have to be agile to climb the ladder. Mr. John did offer another place on the property but we all wanted to be under the same roof and it was spacious enough to enjoy the couch. We will definitely be back!!!
We were a party of 16 from infants to grandparents, plus day guests for a family cookout that numbered 40+. There was MORE than enough space for all of us; even if it had rained on our cookout we’d have had plenty of room inside. We swam in the pool, relaxed in the hot tub, played volleyball and kickball, and took a little hike to a nearby waterfall. It was a wonderful week!
Everything was just perfect. Flexibility in our arrival time, a complete check in tour of the house so we knew where all the lights switches were and how to work the sauna, plenty of beds and bedrooms, multiple spaces big enough for the whole group to be together and lots of nooks for small group break outs. All the kitchen gear needed to feed 16 easily, and most importantly for a work retreat - great working internet and huge TV with easy connection to the computer so we didn't miss a single slide of online training. Beds were comfy, water was hot, sunrise views and sounds relaxing and a nice break for the hustle and bustle. We took advantage of the walking trails and the waterfall hike close by for team building. I highly recommend this spot for anyone working on team training and I intend to return with the kids and grandkids for a back to nature vacation.

This was exactily what we were looking for.
This is a beautiful lodge, with a lot of space for gathering. When we walked in with our 20+ college students the first 15 min. was filled with them excitedly running around taking pictures of this rustic lodge that they were going to be able to call home for a few days. The owner was great and easy to work with. We had a great time seeing Rock City, Incline Railway, and Ruby Falls, which were a short 30-40 min. scenic drive away. You can't go wrong with this one.
I can't say enough about how wonderful our stay was. John, the property manager was always available to answer questions and help with any issues we had. The house is amazing with 2 kitchens. The view from the front porch with plenty of Adirondack chairs to sit and watch the storm was such a bonus. The pool was clean and pleasantly refreshing. The outdoor fireplace was so beautiful that we had to use it at least once even though it was hot out. John went above and beyond at check out time when I had low air in one of my tires. He came with an air compressor for me. He also jump started my friend's car whose battery died. I highly recommend this place.
