The Nest
This mountain side cabin has two levels with three bedrooms, each with its own full bath, and one separate half bath. The open kitchen and keeping room area makes for lovely mealtimes. The living room/dining combination allows an eastern mountain view at dinner out the back windows. The fireplace is for decorative purpose only. You can enjoy the winter vistas looking northeast over the City of Chattanooga from one of two decks surrounding the back of the cabin. The Nest has several outdoor areas for coffee in the morning.
The primary bedroom has a queen sized bed with a view overlooking the outside deck and the forest beyond. Enjoy the heated floors in the attached bathroom, the tiled shower, and gracious bathtub. This suite also has its own personal mini-split heat and air conditioning unit just for that bedroom and bathroom so you can dial in your own comfort!
The second bedroom on the main level has two comfortable, twin beds and a full bath with shower. On the lower level are the full-sized washer and dryer, plus a bedroom suite with a queen bed, and full bath with shower and a separate water closet for more privacy. This suite has exterior doors so you can walk out onto the deck for quiet yoga or reflection before breakfast or at the end of your day.
Only a mile to Ruby Falls, 2.6 miles to Rock City, and 6.2 miles to the Tennessee Aquarium makes this a great choice for visiting all the area attractions. The bedrooms are separated for privacy and the lower level has a full washer and dryer for convenience. Close enough to great restaurants downtown and in St. Elmo or choose to cook for yourselves in the gracious kitchen.

The Nest was well-located, sparkling clean, well-supplied, and very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the holiday decorations during our December visit.
Excellent communication, from booking to day of check-in and throughout our stay. The portal was extremely helpful.
- Lauren , Posted: 12/15/2020
First time in Tennessee! Really really enjoyed staying at the house and the view of Chattanooga. It’s a short drive to the top of Lookout Mountain and it really is close to everything. It seems like Chattanooga so far away when you were up on the mountain, but in reality in 10 minutes or so you are right in the midst of everything. What a great little city and area. Would love to visit again sometime as this was our first trip! Very impressed

"The team was excellent. Prompt, friendly, and helpful response to everything!"
Everything was great except the clothes dryer. It took endless cycles and hours to get clothes to dry.- Laura , Posted:

Only had one question prior to arrival that was answered immediately.
"Thoroughly enjoyed our family stay at the Nest! Warm, cozy, clean. Very comfortable. Due to navigating the steep driveway, would suggest arriving during the daylight the first time; otherwise, no problem. Great place!"- Nancy , Posted:
Rest & Relax
Beautiful area Next to Ruby falls Property is beautiful & owners were very receptive to any need.
- Christina , Posted: 04/01/2021
Our family enjoyed staying at The Nest. The view was gorgeous and the cabin was uniquely decorated with art work throughout. We especially loved all the many nooks and crannies filled with books and cozy seating. I would love to return in the fall when the leaves are turning.

The Nest is a perfect mountain getaway with the amenities of a city just a few minutes away. Charming, well-stocked home with great views and proximity to the highlights of Lookout Mountain and Chattanooga. We appreciated the added touch of holiday decorations during our December visit. We spent every evening hanging out in the large living room in front of a cozy fire. The communication from Chattanooga Vacation Rentals was outstanding, and we appreciated the local tips and recommendations. We would definitely return!
- Lauren , Posted: 12/29/2020
"Quite helpful and very timely. Couldn't have asked for better customer service.
Cabin was just right for 6 adults. The outdoor firepit was a major plus. Appliances where updated and the cabin came with internet and plenty of room to spread out if the weather outdoors was bad.- Chris , Posted:
The team was great to work with and quick to respond when a breaker flipped.
We will be back again!- Melissa , Posted:
Gave very good information on the property and suggested good activities for kids. Also was sure to let us know the best way to enter and exit the driveway since it is a little difficult the first couple of times.
We loved The Nest. Would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others.- Bonita , Posted:
We absolutely loved The Next and are already thinking of when we can return! The location was ideal - only a few miles from city amenities and downtown Chattanooga but tucked away in the woods enough to feel secluded. We LOVED the outdoor spaces for hanging out and taking in the views - plenty of chairs for watching the sunset/sunrise and we made a fire each night in the fire pit for s'mores. We brought groceries and cooked several meals in the kitchen as well which was enjoyable. The living room is comfortable for hanging out and it was a great space to have kids with us. Thank you for making our trip an absolute delight, we will be back!

Spotless and smelled amazing
Great job with communication via text. Absolutely lovely place with great thoughtfulness in its decor and in its provisions. They thought of everything from plush towels to a fully functional kitchen. Great views--we even spotted a bobcat and deer on the property. 1885 was the BEST! We ate there twice. And we highly recommend Pucketts.

Thank you! The house was amazing and we really enjoyed our stay!
- Ann , Posted: 12/12/2021
We had the most wonderful winter trip with my husband and 3 kids (ages 12, 8, 4). We had the perfect amount of space, and they loved being able to run around on the decks and the huge yard. We stayed until we saw the snow, and it was absolutely beautiful. Next time we will absolutely try to book this same cabin again (heated bathroom floors are amazing in the winter)!

The Nest was extremely clean and orderly. Everything in working condition and just beautiful.
What a great company to work with - Chattanooga Vacation Rentals does everything right.
- Candace , Posted:
Everyone I spoke to was friendly and professional and offered lots of information about fun activities near the rental. It's always a little scary to pay upfront for lodging you've seen only on the internet, but you can trust Chattanooga Vacation Rentals
The Nest is such a fun place to stay - it is unique with extensive porches and lots of places to take in the fresh air and views. The house is clean and comfortable and well-equipped. We loved it!- Kathy , Posted:
Very on top of every thing.

Absolutely one of the nicest properties I have stayed at. Highly recommended!- Amy , Posted:
House was perfect with gorgeous views and comfortable beds. It had everything we needed and then some!
- Stephanie , Posted: 01/08/2022
"The property is clean, in excellent condition and very comfortable. It accommodated six people well. The kitchen is well provisioned and we liked having the larger dining table for meals. Although it rained most of the time we were there, the porches would be great in the right weather. The driveway is steep as reported but we had no problems with our low to the ground Prius.- Jeannie , Posted:
Great place and super beautiful we loved getting to enjoy nature and get to do some of the fun Chattanooga features such as ruby falls which was also suggested feature and getting to enjoy good food and family time in general super great place for family and loved the two level decks even when it’s raining it is super soothing to sit out there with a cup of coffee and just listen to the rain overall amazing spot we were very pleased
- Ann , Posted: 12/14/2021
Beautiful modern farmhouse look.. a big back yard for my service dogs.. plenty of deck on both floors.. definitely looks like more than 1500 as advertised ,but out of all the cabins I’ve ever stayed in this one has been my favorite by a long shot!! Customer service was great and offered help ever step of the way.. 10 stars. Only gave it a 5 star because they didn't have 10 stars haha
- Cody , Posted: 02/17/2021
Team members were helpful and courteous. Communication was excellent!
Perfect place for a short getaway to Chattanooga. If your traveling party is 3-6 people in size this is your place on Lookout Mountain. Kids really loved it as well.- Graham , Posted:
I stayed with my wife, 2 children and my parents. We were very comfortable. We Did all of the Chattanooga excursions. The place was close and convenient.
- Dave , Posted: 03/04/2022
Wow! We have stayed in a lot of rentals, but this one is perfect! It has everything you need/want!
