Two Private
Retreats.
One Standard.

Is it safe to book directly instead of through Airbnb? +

Yes — we're commercially insured and use identical policies, liability waivers, and rental agreements for direct bookings as we do on Airbnb. You get the same protections, just without the platform fees.

What is the cancellation policy? +

Full refund for cancellations 30+ days before check-in. Within 30 days: full refund within 24 hours of booking if 14+ days out. After that, 50% refund up to 14 days before check-in. No refund within 14 days of arrival.

Are pets or children allowed? +

Service animals are welcome. No other pets. Children under 12 are not permitted due to the bluff hazard — toddlers may be allowed with prior consent. Minimum age for the primary guest is 25.

How far is it from Chattanooga and Nashville? +

The A-Frame 35 minutes from Chattanooga · approximately 2 hours from Nashville.

Jackson Point Under 1 hour from Chattanooga · under 2 hours from Nashville.

Both are close enough for a quick weekend getaway, far enough to feel completely removed.

What's there to do nearby? +

Plenty — and the two properties draw from different areas, so the answer varies by stay.

The A-Frame Dunlap area — paragliding at Flying Camp less than a mile away, Fall Creek Falls State Park (~45 min), Cumberland Caverns (~1 hr), Savage Gulf State Park East Trailhead (~25 min), Sweetens Cove Golf (~1 hr), and Chattanooga just 35 minutes away for the Tennessee Aquarium, Rock City, Ruby Falls, and a strong dining scene. Dunlap (breweries, restaurants, groceries) is 12–15 minutes away.

Jackson Point Sewanee area — Head of the Crow State Park Sherwood Day Loop (~20 min), Sewanee Perimeter Trail (~20 min), Sewanee Natural Bridge (~25 min), Fiery Gizzard State Park (~30 min), Sweetens Cove Golf Club (~30 min), Sewanee: The University of the South (~20–25 min), and The Caverns in Pelham (~20 min). Monteagle (local dining, shops) is about 25 minutes away, and Chattanooga is under an hour.

Which stay should I choose? +

Choose The A-Frame for a romantic, sky-high escape; choose Jackson Point for architectural immersion and a dedicated wellness experience.

Both properties sleep the same number of guests, so it comes down to the experience you're after.

The A-Frame A more intimate, cozy retreat — set on a dramatic bluff above the Sequatchie Valley with a classic open-concept loft layout. Panoramic valley views from every room, an Alaskan cedar hot tub, deck fire pit, and exceptional dark-sky stargazing. If you love the romance of a bluff-top A-Frame with sweeping valley views, there's nothing quite like it.

Jackson Point Larger (~2,100 sq ft vs. ~1,400 sq ft) with a more private configuration — two fully separated bedrooms, making it well-suited for two couples traveling together. Its extra size adds the dedicated Music & Wellness Room with the ofuro-style cedar soaking tub enclosed by 14-foot sliding doors, plus the full vinyl station. If privacy between guest rooms and an indoor spa experience matter most, Jackson Point is the choice.

The two properties are about 1 hour 15 minutes apart on the Cumberland Plateau. Rather than trying to visit both in one trip, we'd suggest saving the second for a return stay — one in the spring for wildflowers and waterfalls, one in the fall for the foliage. They're different enough to feel like entirely separate experiences.

Are you near the Smoky Mountains? +

We're on the Cumberland Plateau — part of the same Appalachian Mountain range, about 2–2.5 hours west of the Great Smoky Mountains. The Plateau offers the same mountain landscape with a fraction of the crowds. No Gatlinburg traffic, no strip-mall sprawl, no packed parking lots at trailheads. Just private bluffs, dark skies, and some of the best waterfalls and hiking in Tennessee — including Fall Creek Falls, the tallest waterfall in the eastern US. If you're looking for a luxury mountain cabin in Tennessee without the Smokies congestion, the Cumberland Plateau is where the locals go.

How are your properties different from treehouses or tiny homes? +

Both properties are full-sized, architect-designed homes — not tiny homes, not treehouses, not converted shipping containers. The A-Frame is 1,400 square feet with two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Jackson Point is 2,100 square feet with two bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a dedicated Wellness Room. Both have real kitchens, full living rooms, and dedicated dining areas.

Each property sits on its own private acreage — five acres at The A-Frame, seven at Jackson Point. No shared driveways, no neighboring units, no sightlines to another property. The A-Frame is a customized Den Outdoors build and Jackson Point was designed from scratch by the owners and built by Heartwood Homes Chattanooga. Both are architect-grade construction, not prefab or modular.

How far are you from Atlanta, Nashville, and Chattanooga? +

Both properties are an easy drive from major cities across the Southeast:

The A-Frame (Dunlap) Chattanooga 35 min · Nashville ~2 hrs · Atlanta ~2.5 hrs · Huntsville ~1.5 hrs · Birmingham ~2.5 hrs · Knoxville ~2.5 hrs

Jackson Point (Sewanee) Chattanooga ~50 min · Nashville ~2 hrs · Atlanta ~2.5 hrs · Huntsville ~2 hrs · Birmingham ~2.5 hrs · Knoxville ~3 hrs

The drive itself is part of the experience — once you leave the highway and climb up onto the Plateau, the landscape changes completely. Most guests say the last 15 minutes of the drive is when the trip starts.
