Private Multi Family Retreat on 5 Acres!

Imagine watching deer stroll through forest from the sauna after hiking one of 30 trails within 20 min of our 5 acre oasis!

Imagine enjoying a glass of wine in the hot tub or a margarita in the plunge pool while the kids play ping pong in earshot...

Create memories and connect with loved ones at our retreat just a short drive from Nashville, Chattanooga & Huntsville!



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.

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 once you're inside, you'll forget you're in a shipping container because of the comfortable design and thoughtful touches throughout the home. Split units keep our home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. 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 an upscale cabin, 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 pets 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!

Chattanooga Airport: 50 min
Nashville Airport: 1 hour, 15 min
Huntsville Airport: 1 hour 20 min
Caverns: 23 Min

Getting to the home: All roads to the home are paved and easy to navigate!

Adorable!
This property is so awesome! Not only is it beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, it was equipped with everything we could possibly need. Rachel and Steph really thought of everything, and were so helpful and communicative. Spent the weekend here with friends, cooked tasty meals, enjoyed the beautiful view of trees from our bedroom, relaxed in the sauna, hot tub and pool. The only complaint I have is that we didn’t book a longer stay. 🙂 Definitely will be rebooking this home in the future.

Enchanting forest dream
I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect. The online description is accurate but it does not describe how staying there makes you feel. Yes it is spacious, has a well equipped kitchen, a sauna, hot tub, plunge pool and is clean; but the thoughtful details given to create each space impart multiple surprise moments of joy and comfort. I will never forget the awe of waking up in the mornings, surrounded by lush green trees. A luxurious treehouse!

Magical Stay for the Caverns
From start to finish our stay couldn’t have gone smoother to be honest! Easy to find and relatively close to the highway so when first navigating in at night I was a little worried but found it no problem! When first arriving it was exactly what we were hoping for! The couples were able to go off to their suites and get set up while a few friends claimed the main stay! After getting settled we hopped in the sauna and lounged in the hot tub before playing some cards and crashing. Beds were very comfortable and rooms were easy to control heat/music and media devices. Kitchen was perfect for making big meals and the location is unreal! Got in some great hiking and The Caverns music venue was a short drive and parking was easy! Great spot to stay with your crew if you’re into any of those things! Checkout was easy and smooth as could be just like arriving. Could not have asked for a better experience and plan on booking again!

Sewanee Family Weekend
I was not sure what to expect staying in a shipping container.... but it was fabulous!!! So cute inside! It was a great place to stay with several couple since you have some privacy in the containers. They have everything you could ever need in the bathrooms and kitchen. Great communication with the owners. I would 100% stay here again in the future!
