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!

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.

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.

We had a wonderful time staying here in early October. We were a large group with 13 adults and 7 children, but we didn't feel cramped. Ray and Bobbie were excellent hosts as they were responsive and helpful during our stay. The property on which the house is located is beautiful and well kept. I hope we get a chance to visit again!

Plenty big for our family get together with lots of beds and sofas if needed. A bit far from town and the grocery store but that makes it especially quiet. Very close to De Sota State Park and many beautiful waterfalls. The owner Ray was super responsive to our requests.

Twelve of us went as a spiritual retreat to this farmhouse. It was large enough to accommodate 21. The setting was peaceful and quiet. The house was unique with loads of character. I loved staying there. We had plenty of space so we weren’t cramped. The only negative was upstairs where I and 3 others slept 2 of the plugs didn’t work. I would recommend this farmhouse.

Great location for a family getaway!
This farmhouse was a perfect place for our annual Family Christmas Getaway! The house has character with plenty of space to spread out and relax or to gather for meals, games, activities and conversation. Communication with the property manager was easy with quick replies and measures were promptly taken to resolve any issue that arose. Beds were plentiful and comfortable. There were many options available for things to do inside and outside. The children enjoyed role playing in the hair salon, with the hats, playing sardines and air hockey. Our family was pleasantly surprised with a dusting of snow the first evening. We enjoyed the close proximity of the walking trails, the iced over pond and the icicles found as we explored the Little River Canyon rim. It's location made it easy for taking a day trip to Ruby Falls and Lookout Mountain Incline Railway. We highly recommend the Farmhouse and would love to stay there again.

Family Christmas
This is our second visit to the Farmhouse! We had so much fun, I don’t know where to start!! Our family ranges in age as from single digits to 60’s and everyone had fun. Super friendly owners! They answer questions quickly and truly care that your stay is a good one. The Farmhouse is clean, roomy, comfortable, well stocked, and full of interesting rooms and furnishings. Two large tv’s allow for games and movies. Air hockey table keeps kids and adults happy. Large kitchen supplied enough room for dining and board games. Comfortable beds and fresh clean sheets made for restful nights. Large doesn’t describe it adequately; kids can run wild and adults can have conversations, all at the same time without intruding on each other. Again, I can’t stress enough how friendly and helpful the owners are! Will definitely be coming back!!!
