High Water on the Ocoee

About this space
Whether you are seeking a place for a comfy family gathering, a romantic getaway, or the ideal place to work remotely, High Water is perfect for you and yours. It sleeps 9 comfortably and has a hot tub!

High Water is on the Ocoee River itself, minutes away from some of the best whitewater in the US, and only 45 minutes from Chattanooga and its many attractions.
It is 5 minutes from Dam 1 and 25 minutes from Dam 2.
The space
High Water is bright, spacious, and clean, with plenty of different spaces to enjoy inside & out! From dining and gathering (and even yoga) on the back porch, to curling up in a quiet spot with a good book, introverts and extroverts alike will have a space. Enjoy conversations or games around the spacious dining room table or go for a walk in the woods for a breath of fresh air. Recent renovations have breathed new life into this home, and now we are excited to share it with you.

We have new furniture and bedding, a new hot tub in which to relax, spacious indoor seating, large TVs, views of the river from multiple vantage points like our fire pit and our back porch, and a large wooded lot to explore! A personal favorite is taking in a view of the river on the back porch at sunrise while enjoying a warm beverage.

1 bedroom and 1 bathroom are located on ground/bottom floor of the house, and 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom are located on the second story. Please note, the upstairs bathroom has a tub only. The downstairs bathroom has a shower only. The bunk bed and the single bed are located upstairs.
Guest access
Guests have access to the entire property, from the road to the river, during their stay. There is even a trail down to the river that is currently moderately strenuous in parts. Strategically placed fences enhance the home's privacy, for peace of mind.

Entry is through the kitchen door on the left side of the house when looking at it from the driveway. There is an electronic lock with a keypad that lights up upon touching, allowing you to put in the code unique to you and your party as part of our welcome communications.

Please note that guests will have to negotiate stairs down from the parking area and up onto the deck to enter the house. There is a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor, and on the second floor (accessible by stair case) is another bathroom and the other two bedrooms.
Other things to note
The river water level rises and lowers based on the TVA Ocoee Dam #1 Release Schedule, which is updated every 24 hours. If the water level is low, please know it can rise quickly and without warning. Please check the Release Schedule by Googling it, and planning accordingly. Also please note the current flows more swiftly than it may appear, swimming is at your own risk and if you get into the water, we recommend a life vest. We want your visit at High Water to be a safe one!

Unless your cell service is through Verizon, you will need to enable Wi-Fi calling on your smartphone after signing into the Wi-Fi. We tried installing a cell signal booster, but cell service didn’t improve at all. High Water is remote enough that cell service is spotty (except Verizon), so you'll need to enable Wi-Fi calling on your phone. That being said, SOS calls will work!

While we welcome groups of friends, we ask that you not hold events or throw parties at High Water.

We highly recommend travel insurance, so that your trip is not interrupted by unexpected events.

By making this booking, you are acknowledging you are aware of these matters. We look forward to you enjoying your time at High Water!
