Creative Cabin Rental in Tennessee, for Unforgettable Family Getaways to Nature

*Just a beautiful 20-minute drive from downtown Chattanooga



🌿✨ Welcome to our cabin, where every log and bottle in the walls was placed by hand - a true labor of love and craftsmanship.



Waking up inside this cabin feels like stepping into a storybook. As the sun moves through the day, light dances across the colorful bottle glass, casting warm, whimsical glows throughout the space. With tall ceilings, cozy textiles, and thoughtful details tucked into every corner, this cordwood cottage invites you to slow down and soak it all in.



Whether you’re sipping coffee on the patio, wandering the trails, or stargazing from the outdoor shower, this cabin surrounds you with beauty, inside and out.



SPACE

Handbuilt. Heartfelt. Full of natural magic. 💛🌲



This is one of four unique cabins in the Neighborhood at our Nature Retreat, a family-built haven on 82 private acres atop Suck Creek Mountain. With a mile of creek access, on-site hiking trails, and shared gathering spaces, the property was created for connection, whether it’s a family reunion, a friend getaway, a business retreat, or a solo escape into nature.



Since spring 2022, our family has been lovingly restoring this land and building spaces to honor it, one log, trail, and cabin at a time.



The Neighborhood includes 4 cabins, each designed to sleep 6–7 guests.

Every cabin features:

- Full indoor bathroom & seasonal outdoor shower

- Well-equipped indoor kitchen + campsite grill

- Cozy living spaces with patios, porches, or decks

- Modern comforts like electric fireplaces, Wi-Fi, and TVs

- Distinct personalities and handcrafted details



This cabin is especially loved for its bottle wall art, cordwood construction, and tall, light-filled ceilings - all adding up to a stay that feels enchanted and one-of-a-kind. Every log & bottle-log was lovingly placed and tended to in a fun, playful artistic expression of our family.



Need a break from the humans? Head over to our cheerful chicken coop, just a short stroll from your cabin. Guests are welcome to say hello to the flock - and you can even purchase fresh eggs when available!

- Outdoor kitchen (electric griddle, sink, cabinets)

- Firepit with chairs & benches

- Tables for dining, playing, or gathering

- Nearby slide, tetherball, & hiking trails

Cabins may be rented individually or as a collective (one listing for 4 cabins).

NEIGHBORHOOD

This property is a dream-turned-reality created by the Sonner-Such family (John & Karen, Ken, and James & Bobbie).



Together, we’re transforming an 82-acre mud-pit atop Suck Creek Mountain into an evolving sanctuary of living earth, eclecic creativity, and human connection.



We’re nestled in the rural Suck Creek Mountain community surrounded by nature’s best:

🌲 Prentice Cooper State Forest borders our southern end

💧 One mile of Suck Creek flows through our land to the east

🌊 The Tennessee River runs along our road at the base of the mountain



We’re doing our best to honor this powerful land with restoration, quirky charm, and a deep love for people and place.



TRANSIT

You will want a car - or at least a bicycle! It is a 10-12 minute car ride down the mountain to get groceries.
