The May Family Home is part of Wauhatchie Woodlands, a collection of quaint, tiny-home, rustic-comfort log cabins on a 14-acre wooded property surrounded by National Park land. The property is owned and operated by Timberroot, a small, family-owned business that specializes in creating rustic spaces that allow you to relax, recharge, and reconnect with nature.



Once the personal home of Frank, Nicole, and their children, the May Family Home is the largest and most well-equipped accommodation offered at Wauhatchie Woodlands.



This vacation dream home is flanked by National Park land and dense forest, with quick access to downtown Chattanooga, Ruby Falls, Lookout Mountain, and the surrounding area.



The kitchen is open to dining, a dining bar, a living room with a wood burning fireplace, and directly adjacent to the massive stunning sunroom with vaulted ceilings. You will love the real wood craftsmanship, contrast in stains and colors, and a combination of rustic and contemporary style.



The sunroom exits to a spacious back deck with a swinging bed, outdoor dining, and direct access to the private 14′ swim spa.
