How the two homes came to be

The A-Frame came first. It started as Den Outdoors' A-Frame House, and we changed a good deal of it: a steeper roof pitch, a second-story bathroom, and our own finishes throughout. We set it on a bluff above the Sequatchie Valley, on five private acres outside Chattanooga.

We designed Jackson Point from scratch. It leans West Coast modern, with clean horizontal lines, natural materials, and floor-to-ceiling glass facing the valley, but it stays warm and textured like the mountain around it. Every room was designed around the view.

Both are full-size, custom-built homes on their own land, with no shared driveways and no other house in sight.

What Our Guests Say

★★★★★ 5.0 average on Airbnb and Google, both homes
"If you want to do some hot tubbing while clouds literally drift by, this is your place. Private and serene. The intentionality of the home and the hosts is inescapable. Every detail is considered."

Seth · Jackson Point, via Airbnb

"Wow. Wow, wow, wow. The space and location is just unbeatable! Amenities, hot tub… we felt so pampered our whole visit. Thank you for sharing your beautiful space with us! We can't wait to come back and spend more time there!!!"

Elizabeth, Appleton, WI · The A-Frame, via Airbnb

"The most AMAZING place to stay, the view is beyond incredible and everything was perfect. It felt like home away from home, if you need to forget about the real world for a bit BOOK THIS! I can't recommend enough! Magical!"

Ariel · The A-Frame, via Airbnb

"The most beautiful view we've ever seen, most luxurious home we've ever been in, and the best we've ever slept. Unironically found ourselves waking up fully rested multiple hours before our normal time."

Common Questions

The questions guests ask most. Anything else, just ask.

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.

Jackson Point Larger (~2,150 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 bifold doors, plus the full vinyl station. If privacy between guest rooms and an indoor spa experience matter most, Jackson Point is the choice.

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. Because of the bluff, children under 12 are not permitted, though toddlers may be allowed with prior consent. Minimum age for the primary guest is 25.

Are you near the Smoky Mountains?

We're in the same Appalachian range, about 2 to 2.5 hours from the Great Smoky Mountains, with far fewer crowds and no Gatlinburg traffic. The area has some of the best waterfalls and hiking in Tennessee, including Fall Creek Falls, one of the tallest waterfalls in the eastern US. If you want a mountain stay in Tennessee without the Smokies congestion, this is where the locals go.

How are your properties different from treehouses or tiny homes?

Both are full-size, custom-built homes, not tiny homes or treehouses. The A-Frame is 1,400 square feet with two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Jackson Point is 2,150 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 sits on its own private acreage: five acres at The A-Frame, seven at Jackson Point. The A-Frame is a customized Den Outdoors build (featured in their guide), and Jackson Point was designed from scratch by the owners. Both are custom-built homes, not prefab or modular.

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

Both homes are close enough for a weekend from Chattanooga, Nashville, or Atlanta, and far enough to feel like a real escape. The A-Frame is about 35 minutes from Chattanooga; Jackson Point is about 50. Both are roughly 2 hours from Nashville and 2.5 to 3 hours from Atlanta. Full drive times for each home are on the A-Frame and Jackson Point pages.

What are the roads like in winter?

Winters on the mountain are generally mild, with a handful of snow or ice events between December and February. State and county roads are treated first; the final approach to each house is gravel and can stay slick after the paved roads have cleared. All-wheel drive is not required, but it is reassuring if a storm is in the forecast. If you have any concern about conditions before you travel, get in touch and we will tell you what we are seeing on the ground.
