Enjoy a little Georgia country Nirvana far from the city in spirit only. This is a one bedroom guest cabin on our farm. It is perfect for a weekend getaway or a longer work stay.
Originally built as a bunkhouse for the attached barn, our guest quarters are a complete apartment with a full sized kitchen equipped with everything you might need for daily cooking. The internet is 200 MGs and very fast. Our place sleeps 2-4 people with a queen bed in the bedroom and a sofa bed in the living room. A TV is set up with Roku TV, a DVD player, and an HDMI cable if you want to hook up a laptop and watch your own favorite channels. Central air and heat keep the place comfortable with extra help from ceiling fans and a beautiful electric fireplace.
Our farm is 31 acres near the Chickamauga Battlefield. We are 20 minutes to Chattanooga and 30 minutes from Cloudland Canyon and Lookout Mountain attractions. Bring a kayak or canoe--there is a launch into the West Chick Creek just a mile down the road. Bring your bike and enjoy safely riding through the Battlefield. Come back from your adventures and relax with a walk through the pastures or on the trails through our woods. Set up an easel out there for a day of plein air painting.
We live on the property in a 145 year old farmhouse that sits across the yard. We like to greet guests when they arrive but are happy to interact as much or as little as guests prefer.
We are dog friendly but do charge a pet fee. Please include that in your booking if you are traveling with your best friend. Our main dog, Rocco, is a big boxer/mastiff mix and is super friendly. Our auxiliary dog, Dakota, is a boxer girl who will bark at strangers so we keep an eye on her around guests. We have a kennel/crate in the guesthouse if you need it.
We have our own family of friendly pasture pets behind the barn--goats, very free range chickens, and donkeys. Pats and supervised cuddles are encouraged! Our cats, Ricky and Lucy, are very friendly, too. We have seen plenty of deer here and there is a big heron that fishes at the pond. The frogs are everywhere and will sing you to sleep at night.
Be aware that we keep chickens and have some roosters. Roosters crow all day, FYI. And, this is important, our birds are very free ranging and some live in the yard with our dogs. We always ask guests to keep their dogs leashed when arriving until we can see how they react to chickens. There are lots of other places around the property to run off leash if being in the yard with chickens is too much for your dog.
Please be assured that we follow HomeAway's guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting our guesthouse.
Please note: we have expanded our vacation rental with the addition of our vintage camper set up behind the garage and guesthouse. Camper guests have their own area separate from the main guesthouse but some areas such as the laundry room with half bath, parking area, pond, barn, and pastures are shared. All guests are asked to abide by our quiet hours. Camper guests are allowed to bring their dog.
We have a 2 night minimum and offer a discounted rate for longer stays. We do not rent out the upper level if guests are booking through this downstairs listing. We live in the 145 year old farmhouse across the yard and are around most of the time. Visit us on Instagram @littlefrogadventures and Facebook : SydneyLand Farm
