The Cavern on The Green. A unique hand-carved home. Quiet, great views
This hand-carved stone cottage has a ruins-like exterior and continues the theme as you go inside. Its well decorated cavern interior will wow you with its thoughtful layout and interesting construction technique. On the main floor there is a full kitchen with concrete counters and dining bar, a sitting area with comfy chairs, a bathroom with a large tile shower and a bedroom with a queen bed and a private porch with a view of Lookout Mountain. Up the stone steps, you'll find a sweet bedroom loft with a full size bed and lots of windows with great views. Say hello to Tlaloc, the Aztec god of Rain and "that which sprouts" on the way up the steps. Everyones' first word upon entering is "wow!" We never get tired of that and we're proud to be able to offer travelers a unique, clean, well-lit, luxurious cave dwelling
The Cavern on The Green is our second of two hand-carved, ruins style cottages. The other, the Bedrock Cave Cottage (vrbo# 971299) is next door. The two cottages sit in the middle of a twelve acre property and are situated such that each cottage has private areas outside. There is ample room for outdoor events and its a pretty sweet setup for an outdoor party with choice of bonfire sites.
A note about hot tubs. We have three homes for short term rental. Each has it's own hot tub. We maintain them at least every other day and always between guests. This maintenance includes cleaning filters and adjusting chemical balance and chlorine levels. They are drained and refilled often. Sometimes they may not be hot yet when you get there. (A real problem of you're only there for one night) We will always choose "cold but clean" over "hot and green" for our hot tubs. Occasionally, something might go wrong with them that requires parts to be ordered. While we always want our hot tubs clean, fresh and operating properly, we do not give refunds if they are not hot when you arrive or if something has happened that requires repair parts and you can't get the bubbles to blow just like you want them.

Very unique property! My only negative would be seating in the living room, and maybe some sort of guide for the barn door on bathroom. Hot tub felt great, beds were comfortable. Great for a girls weekend.
The property was exactly as advertised, and very clean. Rick sent great instructions on how to get there - a must since we arrived very late and wouldn't have found it without (would be no problem during the day). Short drive to Cloudland Canyon State Park, and Chattanooga. A great weekend! Can't wait to stay again.

Very unique and secluded place tucked on the side of a mountain cliff. My wife and i had a very peaceful and relaxing anniversary.
Perfect weekend getaway for the family. Off the beaten path, but still 15 minutes to everything. Loved sitting in the hot tub and watching the hang gliders. The only thing missing was a TV for the kids.
This was my fourth time staying at Rick’s property since 2020. The property is amazing with beautiful views and an amazing place to just kick back and relax for a few days. I’m definitely coming back.
Everything about this place was gorgeous, inside and out! The owner was communicative and very friendly. The AC dripped on the carpet during our stay and the shower wasn't as clean as we hoped, but overall the experience was worth it!
This place is on a beautiful piece of land looking up at Lookout Mountain. The house is unique, the hot tub was great, and we loved seeing bunnies out munching the grass of the sloping hills. Highlight was watching ultra lights haul hangliders up over the mountain and soar down, over and over, right from the hot tub!
My kids and I stopped and stayed here for 2 days as we were traveling to visit family. Loved the house! We all did! Everything was clean, quiet and peaceful. Rick was an amazing w answering questions that we had and gave us suggestions. We can’t wait to go back!
