The Bird House ~ A modern treehouse in the forest ~ 15 minutes from downtown This modern treehouse (JUST completed in 2023!) is a unique space where luxury meets nature. You'll find everything you need to enjoy a very comfortable stay surrounded by acres of forest just 15 minutes from downtown Chattanooga.Nested on private forest, The Bird House welcomes you to enjoy a one of a kind retreat in a modern treehouse. Woodland trails on 30+ acres meander throughout the property and two nearby creeks offer seasonal swimming holes and exploration. This distinctive spot is both a place of respite for those seeking time in nature and conveniently located to downtown Chattanooga. It's a perfect place for couples and families looking to escape or explore all Chattanooga has to offer.The Bird House, entirely your own to enjoy, is two distinct cabins joined by a covered porch. One side of the cabin offers a massive king-size bed, smart TV, and a bathroom with a gorgeous walk-in shower. The other side has a modern kitchen with a vintage flair that's well appointed for all your culinary needs as well as a living room with a smart TV and a full-size pull-out couch. Both sides have beautiful forest and mountain views!The Space:The Bird House is nested between boulders and trees on more than 30 acres of private forest. And our backyard is Prentice Cooper State Forest with its 25,000 acres of semi-protected land. We have trails throughout the property to explore. There are two nearby creeks that offer seasonal blue hole swimming. Sulphur Branch, the creek just behind The Bird House, is easy to access. And Suck Creek, a local favorite, is just on the other side of Suck Creek road from the property. A large fire pit with boulder benches is in the front yard for fireside chats and marshmallow roasting. We also have a gas grill ready for you.We host a small forest school for children in the Chattanooga area throughout the week and you'll see their outdoor classrooms if you wonder the property.Guest Access:Because The Bird House is on a property that hosts a forest school for children in the Chattanooga area Monday - Friday throughout the school year, we are allowing guests to stay during weekends.You are free to roam the entire property, exploring the trails and creeks throughout. The Bird House is one of three cabins on our property where our family has been working for years to create a rare space for our guests to enjoy. Each cabin was either built by us from local materials or remodeled by us to be a unique space for you to experience. Born and raised here in Chattanooga, this land is the place we choose to raise our children - surrounded by nature and the incredible beauty of the Tennessee River Gorge.There are two devoted parking spaces with motion sensor lights at The Bird House as well as plenty of overflow parking nearby.Other Details to Note:All the water for The Bird House is filtered from a pristine spring and tastes wonderful (like nothing at all really), so there's no need to bring bottled water. We have a whole house filter in place as well as a Brita water pitcher in the fridge.We have a tankless water heater so each guest can enjoy hot showers! And each side of The Bird House has its own mini split unit to perfectly control the heat & air inside.We straddle the Eastern and Central time zones. Be aware that cell phones may alternate between the two when in this area, but we abide by Eastern Standard Time (as does Chattanooga).
