Wooded Writer's Retreat with pool
*Pool is now closed for the season*
The Wooded Writer's retreat is a 3 bedroom tri-level home with 2 upper levels listed as the "entire home." Lower level apartment with separate entrance & shared driveway is NOT part of the "entire home." Owner stays there occasionally. Nestled at the foot of Lookout Mountain on a densely wooded lot. An ideal get-away for families, parents of college students, or small group retreats. See Covenant College outside the kitchen window. Relax here while only minutes away from popular attractions! Guests at The Wooded Writer's Retreat have access to the entire house which includes the entire upper two levels of the tri-level home. They also have access to the private pool.

☆☆ OUTSIDE SPACE ☆☆
In addition to enjoying the pool, (open during the season) you can sit out on the patio and relax with the sounds of nature. Pool is open for swimming from April 7th - October 2024.
The front porch swing is a favorite space for watching the sunrise.
The West deck faces Lookout Mountain and the nearby ranch just walking distance away. The North deck (above the pool) faces a valley leading to Walker County Middle school and the direction of the historic Point Park on Lookout Mountain.
The home is in a very quiet part of the neighborhood. Listen to the sounds of cattle and horses at the nearby ranch while watching the windmill turn. There are no barking dogs or loud music. Rather, you'll hear the beautiful sounds of a crickets chorus at night & rhythmic birds chirping in the morning.
No other guests are on the property, although the owner may occupy the lowest level with a separate entry when she is not traveling. The only potential shared spaces are the pool and yard.
With the owner's frequent-travel lifestyle. she may be staying in the lower level apartment which is separate from the main house with a separate entry-way.
Expect to see a maintenance person on the property for upkeep of the pool and other yard work.
Otherwise, the property is completely private for guests.
