About this cottage rental

NO EVENTS. NO PETS, due to the unique situation of farm activities and farm animals present, no outside animals are allowed for their own safety and the safety of our farm animals. As our reviews reflect, we work hard to make the cottage clean, inviting and a place to make lifetime memories. Whether you are traveling with several family members, a group of friends, or only a couple - we know that you will find relaxation on the big porch rocking chairs or around the fire pit. There is just something so amazingly peaceful about watching the hens and cattle going about their leisurely lives of grazing and resting. The property has plenty of room to toss a ball or frisbee; play flashlight tag, chase fireflies or catch snowflakes on your tongue. There is a cornhole board and bags set for outside and board games for inside. We have decorated the cottage in an inviting, comfortable country theme. There are books and inside toys for the children to enjoy (if you can ever get them inside).
The kitchen offers everything needed for your stay. With two separate round tables and bar stools, you can all enjoy a sit-down meal in the house - or a picnic style meal in the pole barn which is lighted with strings of clear lights.
The master bedroom has a queen sleigh bed, large walk in closet and a full bath. The south bedroom has a queen sleigh bed and a twin bed with antique dresser. The north bedroom has a unique door-headboard, queen bed and a twin bed with beautiful views of the hay barn. The south and north bedrooms share a full bath and walk in closet. The living room has TV with cable and DVD, seating for 10 and lots of floor space to play games. There is also a game table in the living room. The kitchen/dining room is very spacious with beautiful oak table/chairs and an island with bar stool seating. The kitchen is fully furnished with stove, oven, side-by-side refrigerator with water dispenser, dishwasher, microwave, coffeepot, blender, dishes and cookware.

8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2026
The Big Porch Cottage was like stepping back into my grandmothers home from the 1970's with laminate flooring in bathrooms and all! The home was very clean and neat, and had all the comforts that a family with kids could need: large bedrooms and bathrooms, a family eat in kitchen with all the small appliances, and a large yard and barn to play in with toys for young ones. My husband and I were travelling with our daughter, her husband, and their three boys - 14, 12 and 7. The location was far enough from the city to have the big country feel, but close enough to drive to all the fun tourist spots in and around Chattanooga. The host, Tammy, is super friendly and very available. My husband and I enjoyed having coffee out on the patio by the barn and watching the kids play in the yard with the cows next door in their own fenced pasture. It was a perfect spot for our needs. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star rating is because the home needs some updates. If not having updated appliances, fixtures and furniture, then Big Porch Cottage is a perfect getaway!

This place has all the Country Charm. User friendly kitchen complete with extras that make cooking a breeze. Outdoor scenery that makes you smile. Plus, the enjoyment of birds, cows and rabbits. Plenty of space for running around and playing outdoors. Additionally, Tammy the host is most helpful and available if you need. A wonderful place for creating memories!

Always an excellent place to stay in Chattanooga! This is our 3rd or 4th stay in the Big Porch Cottage, and we would happily stay there again. Tammy is easy to contact via text. The house is a good size with a nice yard and plenty of activities (puzzles, games, books, etc.) for families. It is about 20 minutes into downtown, but don't mind the drive for such a peaceful setting.

My family enjoyed our stay. The house was clean, kitchen fully equipped, bathrooms had everything we needed, including a hair dryer and shampoo and body wash in case we forgot those items. Communication was great, seriously a wonderful experience. A nice yard for throwing a football or frisbee. Bonus were the cows, and even the calf who came close to the fence for us to see. Great location, peaceful, quiet, and relaxing. Thank you so much for sharing your space with us.
