Perfect Getaway on the Water Beautiful Gorge Views 11 miles to Downtown
A Perfect Getaway on the Water with Beautiful Gorge Views!
Unbelievable location right on the Tennessee River in the heart of the Gorge. This property features an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings in the living room and kitchen and large spacious bedrooms with plenty of room to sleep everyone. Enjoy views of Raccoon Mountain and the River gorge from the living room, kitchen and sun room or step out onto the massive covered porch to enjoy the sunrises and sunsets.
We have 3 Bedrooms with the following setup:
Bedroom #1: King Size bed Bedroom #2: Queen Size bed Bedroom #3: 2 Sets of Full over Full bunks (that is 4 full size beds total) Rec Room: 2 full size sleeper/convertible sofas.
Walk down to the water and experience the river for all it has to offer with swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, canoeing paddling, and fishing or bring your boat and take advantage of the fully covered boat dock and slip. If staying on land is more your style you can hang out and play some games in the large, flat backyard or go and check out some of the nearby hiking and climbing. The Pot Point Nature Trail is just 1 mile down the road or head back towards town about 3.5 miles and take a hike up Middle Creek.
Make sure to visit downtown which is only 11 miles from the house and features the Chattanooga Aquarium, Creative Discovery Museum, Chattanooga Lookouts, Historic Bluff View Art District, Hunter Art Museum and numerous excellent restaurants. If you are lucky you might catch one Chattanooga’s many festivals or events which are a weekly occurrence most of the spring, summer and fall. Just a little past downtown on Lookout Mountain you will find Ruby Falls, Rock City, and the Incline Railway.
If you`re looking for a getaway that feels like you are miles away from anything, but actually only a few miles from everything, then the River Bunker House is just for you!

This place was simply amazing. We arrived in the middle of the night so we couldn’t really see outside until the next morning. When we woke up and went out on the back deck we instantly knew this was one of the best places we have ever stayed at. The view was simply breathtaking. I don’t think we will stay anywhere else when we visit Chattanooga. The sun coming over the mountains looking down on the water with picturesque smoke on top of the water was amazing. If you’re visiting Chattanooga this place is worth every penny. Can’t say enough about how relaxing this trip was.
This is a wonderful property right on the river. It was so nice and just what our family needed for a weekend away. It was clean and excellent accommodations.
Family trip had a great time! Wonderful home, we did the hike that’s close by and tried fishing from doc not much luck on the doc but we had a great time relaxing in the home. Also enjoyed the dogs that dropped by! Thanks for allowing us to use your home!
We had a wonderful time, there was a full house for us. It gives you room to move around, enjoy the outside yet great privacy. It's like a riverfront compound. Lots of things to do and easy to get to downtown.
A wonderful experience with family. The communication was excellent; host was responsive to inquiries. It was spacious and lots of bedding and towels for our large group. We fished everyday and used the kayaks. They have SUP too! Plenty of inner tubes so a large group can use the river all at once.
We enjoyed this riverfront home. The family loved sitting on the large deck, fishing from the dock and watching the barges, boats and kayaks go by. Our daughter was married at Snooper’s Rock and we had plenty of room for post ceremony celebration and brunch.
Place is as described. Had such an amazing time! It was so peaceful and quiet and enjoyed the kayaking and paddle boarding. We all fished and caught some bluegill, catfish and bass. The beds were comfy and kitchen stocked with everything you may need. Also close to downtown. Would definitely stay again.
My husband, our 4 kids, and myself had a great time staying here. The river is a beautiful view here. Tons of room to spread out. And now my husband wants to remodel our bathroom based on the downstairs bathroom.
I got married at Snooper’s Rock. This was a great location with a great view! We loved the quietness by the river. The only complaint we had is that there were dogs everywhere. One dog came on to the property multiple times during our stay, it was very nice but there were a few small children around. There were dogs that chased our car down the road a couple times as well. Overall, we couldn’t have loved the property more. The host did a great job making it feel like a home away from home. We will definitely make another trip to this area!
Pros: large space, great view and back porch. Dog friendly. Location is close to downtown Chatanooga. Conducive to water activities and fishing.
Cons: Low water pressure, water does not get hot. Outdated bedding/uncomfortable.
My family of 6 (all girls) enjoyed our weekend getaway. The house was large enough for everyone to feel comfortable. As previously mentioned, the kitchen was well stocked and we cooked all of our meals. We were not use to driving in the mountains and there were lots of sharp curves. Which meant we didn’t leave or come back after dark lol. That was ok because we enjoyed each other and that gorgeous view of the mountain.
We enjoyed our stay here. The location is perfect for families - it's right on the river with plenty of yard to play in. It's also only 15-20 minutes to downtown and even less to grocery stores (food city and whole foods are super close), coffee shops and a handful of breweries / restaurants. My daughter and I loved using the kayak and had fun trying to spot the bald eagle that nests nearby. The house is stocked with kayaks, SUPs, paddles, and life vests. The home has a solid layout - 2 beds upstairs and a basement with bunkbeds and a playroom. Kitchen is laid out well but doesn't have a ton of amenities. The home broadly could use some updating to make it 10/10 but it's hard to judge a cabin based on paint, so still perfect marks in our book.
The location in relation to Chat and being right on the river is amazing! It’s so beautiful and peaceful.
There were a couple of dead roaches laying around.
The layout of the house is awkward in that the entrance is on the second floor, up stairs, but you can’t get to the river or yard from the ground floor, you have to go up Stairs and then down again. So there are a lot of stairs. And the inside is a little dark and outdated. But it’s a wonderful place nonetheless!
We put our jet skis in at the boat ramp a couple miles up river. The road to the place is extremely narrow and curvy so carrying a trailer can be tough.
Would stay here again!!
Overall we enjoyed this property! The backyard space, porches and use of kayaks/paddleboards were the highlights. Close to hikes and not far from the city. Kitchen was well-appointed. My BIL planned to sleep on the futon but when we got there it did not look comfortable enough so he shared the bunk room with another family. The king bedroom smelled a little musty and there was a fair amount of dust in the corners and on top of some surfaces throughout the house. There were a couple dead cockroaches on the property but we were honestly surprised that there weren’t more bugs since the house was pretty surrounded by nature. Some pretty sunsets! Nice place to stay as long as your expectation isn’t for it to be immaculate or recently updated.
Pictures don't do justice to this property. It's right on the water with a spectacular view of the forested mountainside across the river. The house itself is beautiful with deep wood everywhere throughout the interiors/floors. Big kitchen and great long dinner table with a comfortable living room/TV seating area. Bedrooms and bathrooms were large yet cozy. The covered deck/patio is one of the gems here as it allows a great view of the river and had good outdoor seating for a relaxing atmosphere. The private dock in the river is good and there were new kayaks and river "playthings" in good shape to use if swimming or getting out onto the river. Don't be put off by the road to get there- small lane needs to be driven carefully as all the houses along the river are built close to the water and there's not alot of space to put a road. Property owner Aaron was extremely friendly and helpful as we had to finagle our visit schedule a bit after making the reservations. He's quick to get back to you if you contact him and seemed to understand what travelers needed for the stay. Overall we could not have had a better visit here. Highly recommended to all VRBO'ers from this group of 6 adult friends.
5 of us adult siblings/inlaws (2 couples & 1 single) recently stayed here for a week. The gorge view from the back deck was utterly beautiful & peaceful, serenaded by a symphony of diverse birdsong all day long. And the deck itself was brilliantly designed, its clever roof allowing light and airflow, and yet keeping one dry even during significant rainfall. The only thing missing was an outdoor outlet, to plug in a fan on a breezeless, warm afternoon.
We rented a pontoon from the wonderful folks @ the downtown Erwin Marine, and it took only 37 mins (@ 25 mph) to get it back to the house - a pleasant, pretty trip along the river.
The house itself was spotlessly clean, and well supplied with towels and linens. The kitchen was fairly well stocked with most of the necessary cooking tools, pans, and pots. Plenty of plates, silverware, coffee cups, and glassware.
The single adult slept in the LL bunk room. Not ideal for an adult (crinkly plastic mattress cover under the sheets, low headroom, and no place to sit to put on socks or shoes - and dark as tar at night), but it was fine for 1 week...after we got some plug-in LED nightlights lol. The LL bath is very pretty, but could use a couple towel rods for damp towels - there are only 2 hooks.
We all enjoyed our stay here, and had a relaxing, peaceful, fun time.
The property was a 10/10. It was clean and spacious. It was only a couple hundred feet from the water. The view was amazing. The lake is beautiful. And only about 20 minutes from Chattanooga. Loved the stay.
The highlight of the property is the covered back porch, which has lovely views of the river. The living room and dining area are also comfortable for the group to sit together. The house has original features that are generally well-maintained as well as several updates such as new windows. The hosts were very responsive to a question we had soon after checking in. Our group thoroughly enjoyed the natural beauty of this riverside retreat.
Great location, really enjoyed being right on the river. Short drives to both great hiking trails and downtown Chattanooga. Snoopers Rock is a must see, absolutely amazing view.
