Weekend Trip to Creekside Bluff Primitive Camping

This is a great site! Flat/soft ground for a tent, several tree options for a hammock, beautiful views and a couple of waterfalls nearby to lull you to sleep! The host was quick to respond and very helpful. We’ll book again in the future.

We had a great time camping at Kaleigh’s sites. We actually booked both sites and set one up for sleeping and the other for cooking and hanging out. It was perfect! We had great weather, great views, it was quiet, and had a great time kayaking and fishing. I look forward to visiting her site in the future!

Gretta's place was really delightful! The road getting in is a bit difficult for low cars and the road down to the bluff definitely would need 4 wheel drive. The firepit was nice, along with the table and chairs and the bluff view and creek were very lovely! I would definitely go back!

Weekend Trip to Kaiabunga Kamp

Kaleigh’s property was a big hit with our crew. My 8 year old girl said it was the best campsite she’s been to. Loved how quiet it was with hardly anybody around. The lake we had all to ourselves and was great for fishing and swimming. The kids definitely had fun with the trampoline and zip line. We had to rig something up for the zip line so the kids didn’t smack in to the tree, otherwise it was good fun!

Weekend Trip to Kaiabunga Kamp

Had a wonderful weekend at Kaiabunga Kamp Site 1! Upon arrival someone had left black eyed Susan’s in a glass bottle on the camp table which brightened my day immediately being my favorite flowers!! Our young boys really enjoyed the amenities! Really great setup! Directions were super clear especially with losing cell service! Had a few drive in visitors with the cabin for sale right next to the site which surprised us being at the end of the road and it was so close. Lake was accessible. Kaleigh was super helpful and responsive too!!

Weekend Trip to The Private Reserve Cabin + RV Pad

We stayed at the cabin for two nights and really enjoyed it. It’s small and quaint, but very functional and comfortable. It had pretty much everything we needed, which was great in case we forgot to pack anything. The central heat and air were a nice surprise and made the space feel just right. The hot tub was definitely a plus—perfect for winding down in the evening. Even though the cabin is in a small town, there are still things to do nearby. Foster Falls is only about 15 minutes away and a great spot to get outside and enjoy nature. Overall, a peaceful and easy place to stay.

Weekend Trip to The Private Reserve Cabin + RV Pad

This place was so adorable and very very private. You can even lock the gate behind you and feel extra secure. The power went out due to an unexpected strong storm, but we still had a great time! Would totally recommend this place to anyone. The stairs are very steep to the loft, but that’s just a warning, not a complaint at all and that info is in the booking. Just minutes from the lake with fishing and a little swimming beach too. Hank’s corner and the bakery were nice to get lunch and snacks for later.

Weekend Trip to The Private Reserve Cabin + RV Pad

The amenities were great for our weekend needs. The Cabin was very clean, comfy bed, well equipped kitchen. The fire pit was the focal point for our crew of 14. We enjoyed the campfire every night. We set up our kitchen by the Weber grill, we used the grill three or four times while we were there. There were flat areas to set up tents. I was able to maneuver our 14' camper & 14' trailer in the parking lot. This location will be a frequent flyer for us!

The cabin was cozy, comfortable and had everything you’d need. Very clean! Having all the amenities was a bonus! Elisabeth was quick to respond to questions and I’d recommend her cabin to all who enjoy the outdoors but also the comfort of a comfy bed, hot shower and a meal cooked at home! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

The cabin was comfortable and cozy with plenty of amenities. Our favorite was the hot tub. We found it to be relaxing and particularly welcoming on the two chilly nights we stayed. It is located just outside a cute little town called Tracy City. It's also close to several hiking trails of varying difficulty. I highly recommend checking out Fiery Gizzard Trail. The scenery surrounding the trail and the town is gorgeous.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this adorable little cabin! We made a last-minute decision not to camp during our trip to Tennessee and this cabin was the perfect in-between. The property was beautiful and had everything we needed - we used the hot tub daily, and loved the fire pit and picnic bench. It was quiet, perfect for stargazing, and we even got a visit from three deer on our last morning. The cabin had everything we needed and was very comfortable for me, my husband, and two small dogs. It was about an hour drive from Stone Fort for climbing and Chattanooga, plus nearby to some great hikes. A beautiful trip!
