Both cabins feature spacious, furnished back decks that connect the properties, with the luxury hot tub and swim spa positioned between them for easy access from either master bedroom.

Other Things to Note:
Trains & Noise:
Wauhatchie Woodlands is located in a charming woodland setting just minutes from downtown Chattanooga. As Chattanooga is a city with a rich railroad history, there are active train tracks that border the property to the north, and I-24 is approximately half a mile away. Guests will hear ambient train and highway noise, particularly at night when background sounds are quieter.
We want to ensure you have realistic expectations for your stay. Each cabin is equipped with a white noise machine to help minimize disturbance, and many guests find the sounds become part of the natural rhythm of their retreat. However, if you are a light sleeper or particularly sensitive to noise, this property may not be the best fit for your needs.
