About this cabin rental

Our unique experience isn’t easy to find — and it books quickly! Create memories, reconnect with your people, and escape the noise at one of the few properties within driving distance of Nashville, Chattanooga, and Huntsville.

Imagine watching deer wander past the sauna window after a hike on one of 30 nearby trails just minutes from our private 5-acre retreat.

Imagine sipping a glass of wine in the hot tub or a margarita in the plunge pool while the kids play ping pong just steps away.

Guests will not have interaction with the hosts. However, we are available whenever you need us!

Walk out of our door and enjoy light hiking trails in the neighborhood or hop in the car to do more difficult hikes within 15 min!

Think cute mountain town meets sophisticated artist's retreat. The liberal arts college in town, University of the South provides incredible artisan culture that can be felt throughout the town.

Our neighborhood is called 'Deep Woods' for a reason. Secluded and quiet, it's almost impossible not to relax when you arrive!

Guests will access the property using smart locks.

"I've stayed at 100+ Airbnbs all over the world. And Rachael and Steph's place is my favorite. If two sisters running an Airbnb wasn't enough of a fun origin story, who they were throughout the process and how thoughtful, conscientiousness, and articulate they were made this a remarkable experience." -Recent 5 Star Review

Our home is a truly unique blend of space to be together while still having privacy when needed. The home features a large open concept living/kitchen area to be together in the 'main cabin' as well as 3 additional private guest quarters for couples to escape to at the end of the night.

FIRST TIME STAYING IN A SHIPPING CONTAINER HOME?
We get tons of questions - Many asking, "Is this a 'normal' home?" - The answer is, yes! The outside looks extremely unique, but once you're inside, you'll forget you're in a shipping container because of the comfortable design and thoughtful touches throughout the home. Split units keep our home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Please note, all of the bedrooms are single containers and therefore, are narrow. The photos show this as the containers are the width of queen/king size beds. Additionally, this is still a cabin in the woods! It is an upscale cabin, yet imperfect. If you are looking for hotel quality perfection, please consider booking elsewhere.

Outdoor shower and pool are open Mid April - Mid Oct depending on weather (Inquire for specific dates). Hot tub & Sauna open 24/7/365!

EARLY/LATE CHECK IN:
We schedule our cleaning team & pre arrival inspection team immediately upon your booking. If you would like to check in early or leave late, they have to reschedule their crew and request a fee for this. The fee is $30/hr for extra hours to compensate our crews for rearranging schedules and working different hours.

WINTER BOOKINGS:
Our container home is heated and cooled with split units. However, there are many outdoor spaces including the forest view room that will be the temperature of the outdoors. If not using the patios during a cold winter stay would ruin your time here, please consider booking elsewhere. Additionally, in Tennessee, pipes are traditionally under the home not fully protected from the elements and this is true with our as well. If temperatures are consistently below freezing during your trip, we will ask that you drip the faucets to prevent freezing pipes. This will likely only apply to select December, January and February bookings.

SAFETY:
We have 4 Ring security cameras on property:
1. Front door of the main home deck facing the driveway/street
2. Side of the main home facing the driveway
3. Back deck of the main home facing the North side of the property
4. Backyard facing the back door of the Canopy Container
All cameras are motion activated, are on the exterior of the home & in plain sight of the guest.

Booking party will be asked to sign a waiver/home agreement as we have many unique features on our property. This is required by our insurance.

DINING:
Living room 1 in the main home is the largest gathering area and can fit ~20 people. However, we do NOT have a formal indoor dining table. There is a large kitchen island with seating, 2 outdoor tables that seat 6-8 and a folding table.

EVENTS
As stated in our house rules, loud noise outdoors in the evenings/over night is now allowed. If you plan to throw a party, please do not book. This home feels VERY private, but noise carries. There will be a $500 fine for any noise complaints from neighbors.

CONNECTIVITY:
We have great wifi & okay phone service. Hour long Zooms are no problem! Depending on your provider, phone service may be limited, but we have 3 separate routers at our home to ensure that everyone is able to 'connect' while they are disconnecting. ; )

CRITTERS:
We have regular pest control for a variety of critters & regularly treat for snakes. However, you might see them anyway as we are on 5 acres of wooded forest. We do our best to prevent it, but sometimes bugs find their way inside. If this will ruin your stay, you might consider booking elsewhere.

CANCELLATIONS:
Holding our home 'just in case' hurts us as small business owners and home owners as this blocks our calendar, making it harder to rebook those days. Please ensure that all members of your party have fully confirmed these dates prior to booking.

We cannot provide any refunds for weather unless there is a government issued evacuation. Please protect yourself by purchasing travel insurance. We will infrequently experience winter weather and snow. While we are not in a true mountainous area, there are steep hills in parts of our town. Please plan accordingly. When booking our home using certain sites that use a payment processor, we incur fees that cannot be recouped if you cancel. We cannot refund any credit card processing fees.

Very unique property, awesome set up and great spot if you have 3 (or even 4) families.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Dec 2024
From start to finish our stay couldn’t have gone smoother to be honest! Easy to find and relatively close to the highway so when first navigating in at night I was a little worried but found it no problem! When first arriving it was exactly what we were hoping for! The couples were able to go off to their suites and get set up while a few friends claimed the main stay! After getting settled we hopped in the sauna and lounged in the hot tub before playing some cards and crashing. Beds were very comfortable and rooms were easy to control heat/music and media devices. Kitchen was perfect for making big meals and the location is unreal! Got in some great hiking and The Caverns music venue was a short drive and parking was easy! Great spot to stay with your crew if you’re into any of those things! Checkout was easy and smooth as could be just like arriving. Could not have asked for a better experience and plan on booking again!

We had a great stay with lots of room and amenities. All the small details add up to a fantastic weekend in the woods!

I was not sure what to expect staying in a shipping container.... but it was fabulous!!! So cute inside! It was a great place to stay with several couple since you have some privacy in the containers. They have everything you could ever need in the bathrooms and kitchen. Great communication with the owners. I would 100% stay here again in the future!
