About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Lakefront, large yard, close to Chattanooga, 9 beds, private dock, pets ok

Dock your boat, fish, or swim in the private lagoon directly on Lake Chickamauga and the Tennessee River. Drive less than 10 miles to Downtown Chattanooga. The large covered dock holds up to 3 boats, with 2 under cover. The dock also has a large screened porch that is perfect for an additional sleeping area (primitive) or a great place to hang out in the shade beside the water. Fish under cover on hot days or in the rain. Fishing is also great on the Boardwalk area beside the dock. Lake Chickamauga is one of the top 10 bass fishing lakes in the USA. Across the small lagoon is a nature preserve called Chester Frost Park, but it is very private. Chester Frost Park has a beautiful sandy beach, a large boat ramp, and great playground facilities free to the public. Chester Frost Park is also the check in station for the local bass tournaments. Chester Frost is easily accessed by road or water. Lake Chickamauga has been included in the top 10 bass lakes in the US. The fishing off the dock is outstanding. If the water is down (between October 15 and May 15, generally, there are multiple fishing docks at Chester Frost Park). Lake Chickamauga is formed from the Chickamauga Dam and provides hydro electric power and aids in flood control. Therefore the water is lowered by TVA during the off season months, generally beginning in October and ending in May. During these months, the dock's water level is generally too low for your boat. However Chester Frost Park (2 miles away) provides free access to a boat ramp, multiple docks, and several fishing docks. Also enjoy the fire pit located beside the pavilion.

The over 2000 Square foot, one level , brick ranch has 4 Large Bedrooms (1 king beds ,4 queen, 2 sets of bunk beds) and sleep 12 comfortably in beds plus a sofa. 2 Full baths. A 32x20 covered outdoor pavilion includes a refrigerator, sink , charcoal grill, dining table, seating area and fire pit will become your favorite spot to enjoy the day or night. The pavilion has 5 ceiling fans and is well lit and furnished. Surrounding the pavilion is a large sunny concrete patio. The pavilion is 20 feet from the main house.

The 5 acre flat, mowed property borders a nature preserve on 2 sides. Enjoy watching the birds, deer , chipmunks and you kids and pets from the back patio. The home sits off the road and is landscaped beautifully with several Japanese maple trees. There is plenty of parking beside the house and in a separate gravel parking lot in the back yard. 12 cars are easy to park here. Unbelievably the house has extremely, high speed wireless internet. The Convenient kitchen has a large refrigerator freezer with ice and water through the door. The galley kitchen includes an electric stove and oven, microwave, dishwasher , toaster, and coffee maker.

Location may be the best part of this property. Even though you enjoy a 5 acre flat, mowed living area on the Tennessee River and Lake Chickamauga, you can walk on sidewalks to great restaurants including famous East Tennessee pulled pork barbecue and one of the most popular breakfast, meat and 3 veggie restaurants in the area. The Getaway is located in Hixson, TN a popular suburb of Chattanooga. Downtown Chattanooga is a straight shot, 10 miles away. Within 10 minutes of the property is every amenity you could possibly want including: 30 or more restaurants, a large mall with state of art cinema, golf courses, bowling alley, a beach, marinas, multiple churches , parks, tennis, dry cleaner, laundromat, goldsmith, shoe repair, alterations. We have it all. This home is perfect for anyone working in Chattanooga, but wanting to enjoy the water in their back yard on weekends or at the end of a long summer day. Please consider bringing your bicycles.

This is a great location for Riverbend or other local festivals, Bass Tournaments, the Tennessee Aquarium and downtown, Lookout Mountain, Ruby Falls, Rock City, Montlake rock climbing, outdoor events on the river, or any of the other great attractions and events going on in Chattanooga or Lake Chickamauga.


Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio.

We had a great time and would stay here again! We loved the property. The fishing was excellent and had lots of room for our two dogs to walk. It was an easy 20-30 minute drive to all the attractions we wanted to go to. Our only complaint was it could have been cleaner but overall we were happy with our stay.

The covered fenced in gazebo was awesome and was like having another house on the property.we played cards and games out here at night. Fridge out here allowed drink storage to allow food storage inside the house. Would stay again in a heartbeat. Less than 2 miles from the house were great mom and pop restaurants, fast food, pizza, grocery store, dollar general.

Not really set up for more than 6 people.
The property was advertised as suitable for 12 although there was only a 6 chair table setting. Definitely could not all eat together. Living area only had couch, old recliner and two very uncomfortable chairs. Definitely needs more seating. House rules stated to use cutting board and not cut on counter only there is no cutting board. Twin beds were box springs on bottom bunks and very thin mattresses on top. Bunks were too high to use the top without hitting the ceiling. While "linens and towels" were furnished, there was only enough towels for one night and would have to wash them every night. Ended up buying our own. If blankets were furnished, we couldn't find them, Dock area was not well kept (wees and trash present) and lake was low so no water at the dock anyway. Overall, not as advertised but it gave us a place to lay our heads at night.

Happy cup filled!
The purpose was to gather with family for quality time shared. We filled the home with our children, grandchildren and a great grandchild. We played games watched football games, prepared meals together, visited park, fished, visited museum, attended a little league championship tournament and we enjoyed every moment! The owner was absolutely amazing throughout the process of planning.

Not as described.
The house was not very clean as indicated by dust, dirt, & spider webs everywhere. Most lamps were not in working order. Only 2 of the multiple TV would work. No hot tub as advertised. Boat house & dock were unusable due to low lake level. Exterior of the home has been neglected. Kitchen was not very well stocked. I booked the house for a boating trip and my friends that were there with me were disappointed.

We all really enjoyed our stay here and were able to get out on the lake every day with our boat and jet skis (once we were able to find a pathway through the milfoil) The location and lake access was perfect and the dock was amazing! The property itself could use some tlc, but a great time was had by all!

House, screen porch, boat house —all good. Great flat yard for games. House fairly close to Highway / bring ear plugs. Grocery and fast food less than 2 miles away. Chester Frost Park is a must / free and close by. Owner responded quickly to questions. Check in was super easy. Some updates / refreshing to house and property would add another 2 stars! Great place for our family gathering.

Good location, lots of room
The property was as described. House has plenty of space and a well-appointed kitchen. Thoughtful decor made it welcoming. The memory foam mattress in the master suite was a pleasant bonus. The the screened-in area is a nice outdoor, but not outdoor, space. It's a 100 yard + walk to the dock, but the yard was mowed and it's a pleasant walk with lots of birds and green space. Located less than 10 minutes from restaurants and a large grocery store. Overall, a comfortable stay in a good neighborhood.
