Create lifelong memories at the most unique & plush nature retreat you will ever experience!
Imagine watching deer stroll through forest from the sauna after hiking one of 30 trails within 20 min of our 5 acre oasis....Imagine watching the sunset from the hot tub with a glass of wine, while the grandkids play ping pong in earshot.
If you need a retreat from the city to connect with loved ones just a short drive from Nashville, Chattanooga & Huntsville, our home is for you!
Guests will not have interaction with the hosts. However, we are available whenever you need us!
Walk out of our door and enjoy light hiking trails in the neighborhood or hop in the car to do more difficult hikes within 15 min!
Think cute mountain town meets sophisticated artist's retreat. The liberal arts college in town, University of the South provides incredible artisan culture that can be felt throughout the town.
Our neighborhood is called 'Deep Woods' for a reason. Secluded and quiet, it's almost impossible not to relax when you arrive!
Guests will access the property using smart locks.
PRIVACY & TOGETHERNESS: Our home is ideal for multiple families looking for a space to be together while still having privacy when needed. The home features a large open concept living/kitchen area to be together in the 'main cabin' as well as 3 additional private guest quarters for couples to escape to at the end of the night.

FIRST TIME STAYING IN A SHIPPING CONTAINER HOME? You're not alone! We get tons of questions - Many asking, "Is this a 'normal' home?" - The answer is, yes! The outside looks extremely unique, but we imagine that once you're inside, you'll forget you're in a shipping container because of the comfortable design and luxe touches added throughout the home. Please note, all of the bedrooms are single containers and therefore, are narrow. The photos show this as the containers are the width of queen/king size beds. Additionally, this is still a cabin in the woods! It is upscale, yet imperfect. If you are looking for hotel quality perfection, please consider booking elsewhere.
PET AMENITIES
1. Fenced in area for the pups!
2. Paw Wiping Towels
3. 'Poo Bags'
4. Dog Waste Trash Cans
Pet Fee: $125 for first pet, $75 dollars per additional pets. Please add your pet to the listing prior to booking. We ask for $125 for the convenience of having your fur baby on vacation and for the extra clean up of waste and fur. No breed restrictions, maximum of 4 pets. Rovers in our area are 30-40 dollars per night if you prefer to have a pet free vacation!
CRITTERS: We have regular pest control for a variety of critters & regularly treat for snakes. However, you might see them anyway as we are on 5 acres of wooded forest. We do our best to prevent it, but sometimes bugs find their way inside. If this will ruin your stay, you might consider booking elsewhere.
