Cabin on the Crook: private, pet friendly residence alongside a nature preserve

Cabin on the Crook combines rustic charm with modern comforts in a spacious neighborhood long established as an artists' enclave. Cabin on the Crook is perfectly situated between outdoor recreation & fantastic restaurants, wilderness & convenience, adventure & amenities.
This secluded home enjoys a front porch view of open pasture with pollinator gardens & the privacy of tree canopy along its remaining 3 sides.
The original structure of this authentic mountain cabin was built in the 1800's. Over the years, many updates and several additions have been made, but the home remains true to its earliest character and charm. This unique space offers a retreat from busy city life, from the demands of multitasking, from noise and light pollution... It invites every guest to slow down, to enjoy a beverage and a book on the porch, to tend a fire in the outdoor ring, to star gaze.....
However, the open living area of this historic house can become chilly during colder months, and bugs sometimes find their way inside. Guests are encouraged to lean into the cabin experience, to bring their favorite fuzzy socks and remember that we share the natural world with all sorts of remarkable living creatures.

Winter holiday getaway
Our family of 5 plus black lab enjoyed our stay! Cabin was cozy and nicely appointed with holiday decor and welcome treats! We very much appreciated complimentary paper products and bath necessities. Space heaters helped keep common areas warm while it snowed outside! Nice scenic drive into Chattanooga and only 5 min from Cloudland Canyon. Thank you!

We came to town for a trail race and this place was exactly what we needed. Was great to have a place with so many environmentally friendly choices and so many small touches (robes, soaps, and a few must haves in the fridge)!

This house was absolutely beautiful. We spent the week. The house is update and has been beautifully remodeled. We spent so much time walking the nature paths picking mulberries. And making smores at the fire pit. My teenagers enjoyed the hot tub!

A Cozy Country Cabin.
A wonderful cabin, out in country. Pet Friendly, a huge plus. My family of 5, we cooked many meals, enjoyed the hot tub, and fire pit. Cloudlands State Park is 5 minutes down the road, a great outdoor experience there. Rock City Gardens was about 25 minutes away. Grocery store only 5 miles away in Trenton. We spotted deer on the property multiple times. The living areas will get cold in winter, but heaters are in the bedrooms. A great vacation for my family and I, we would stay again.

Great home and amenities, would like clearer definition of what the kitchen does and doesn't have.
Cabin is a great restoration with a wonderful, rustic atmosphere. The hosts have done an amazing job making this a home away from home. The location is perfect for access to Cloudland Canyon. I think there was a book or puzzle for every taste!! It would be The BEST if I'd known there's not a microwave and better detail of what the kitchen has. Signs throughout the cabin reminded us that we're all responsible for the planet. I totally agree and applaud the sentiment but would love to not see a note in every room. 😀

Rest & relax w activities close by.
We live in FL but wanted to see the fall leaves. This is a charming, rustic cabin with modern amenities. Comfy beds. Close to Cloudland Canyon if you want to spend time outdoors. About 30 min to downtown Chattanooga. The whole area is dog friendly. Very peaceful and quiet but still reasonably close activities if needed. Recommend!

Perfect fall foliage getaway with our two dogs.
Being able to have our dogs with us was wonderful! We don’t really have many options for pet sitters at the moment. We took them to Cloudland Canyon State Park and they really enjoyed the change of scenery. My wife and I got married on Lookout Mountain during the fall and return to the area frequently. The cabin itself was clean, very comfortable, and in a beautiful location. We really enjoyed the charm and amenities. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Relaxing Retreat
My wife and I, along with some of our children, grandchildren, and Brinkley the dog, really enjoyed our stay at the Cabin on the Crook. The house was clean and the owner, Jennifer, was very helpful and responsive. The cabin and surrounding grounds gave you a feeling of privacy and seclusion, but you are only minutes away from grocery stores, restaurants, etc. It is also only a couple of minutes from Cloudland Canyon State Park which is very nice and highly recommended. This is a great location to simply relax but still be within short driving distance of a number of parks and other activities.

Perfect refuge in gorgeous surroundings!
A description really can’t do this charming, comfortable cabin justice - even the pictures don’t convey how lovely it is! My adult daughter and I had plenty of space to be introverts and a wonderful living area to spend time together. It’s a charming, updated lodging with lots of special, unique touches, and the hosts go the extra mile to make you feel welcome! It’s only a couple of miles away from Cloudland Canyon State Park and not too far from Chattanooga. We loved it there so much we ended up canceling plans to go into town in favor of spending time in the cabin! Highly recommend.
