What Makes Our Home Special
The Big Chair River House has been completely renovated with love, making it the perfect blend of comfort and modern charm. Our home is designed for relaxation, with cozy spaces to gather, unwind, and enjoy stunning views of the river and nature.

No Pets: To maintain the best experience for all our guests, we have a no-pet policy.
Security Cameras: For your safety, security cameras monitor the parking area, side entrance, and firepit area. These cameras detect motion but do not record continuously. There are no cameras inside the house.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
All bedrooms are located on the upper level, creating a peaceful retreat away from the main living areas.

Master Suite: King bed, private bath with shower, and access to the side deck.
Second Bedroom: Queen bed with access to a half bath in the hallway.
Kids’ Room: Queen-over-Queen bunk and a single-over-trundle bed, with access to the front porch.
The main level includes a full bath with a tub/shower combo.

Main Living Area
At 1300 square feet, our home has a cozy layout designed for gathering together. The main level features a spacious living room with a large couch, chairs, a Smart TV for streaming, and a wood-burning fireplace with a blower for those chilly evenings. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare family meals, including place settings for 8. There’s also a breakfast nook/table, and a propane gas grill for cooking outdoors.

The large front porch is perfect for family meals, while the front porch swing provides a peaceful spot to enjoy the surrounding nature.

Outdoor Space & River Access
One of the highlights of our home is the expansive double deck (over 1300 sq. feet) offering ample seating, dining areas, and a bed swing — perfect for stargazing or simply enjoying the sounds of the river. The deck on the riverbank is the ideal spot for watching wildlife (kingfishers and deer are regular visitors) or just relaxing in nature.

When you’re ready for river fun, step right down to the water! Fish off the private river deck, tube the river, or simply dip your toes in. The river’s flow varies with the seasons, so always swim at your own risk.

In the evenings, gather around the large fire pit for s’mores, stargazing, or enjoying the spectacular firefly show in late spring and early summer. If the weather isn’t ideal for outdoor adventures, enjoy cozy family time indoors with games, movies, and the warmth of the fireplace.

A Year-Round Retreat
The Big Chair River House is a place to escape, no matter the season. In spring and summer, the home is surrounded by vibrant flowering trees and shrubs, while fall offers breathtaking views of the changing leaves along the river.

Nearby Adventure & Attractions
The Tristate Adventure Area, where Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina meet, offers endless opportunities for outdoor exploration. A few days here isn’t enough to experience everything the area has to offer. Consider extending your stay!
