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.

On the same living level, there is a beautiful bathroom shared by a queen bedroom and the kid’s room with a lofted queen bed and built-in slide. The slide room sleeps two small people up top and has a single bed below.

Across the hall is a beautiful queen bedroom larger than many master bedrooms and a stunning newly renovated bathroom. This large queen room has a TV, a small work desk, and seating for TV watching out of bed.

Down the hall are the two massive loft rooms. The river-facing loft room has a private deck, picture windows, separate shower & toilet rooms, a closet, and a spacious TV den. Up in the loft are two full/twin bunks that can sleep up to six.

The back loft room features two lofted full beds over a king. Also on this level are a sofa, separate shower & toilet rooms, and closet. Upstairs is the workspace with two desks and a daybed with Smart TV.

Downstairs is the massive main suite with a luxurious king bed, modern armoires, a wood-burning stove, and the media area with a large sectional sofa and a 65″ curved TV. The main suite also has a large bathroom with two vanities, a walk-in shower, a deep bathing tub, and a small cedar sauna.

Also on the lower living level is the fully loaded game room with a full-size pool table, ping pon top, foosball, air hockey, Smart TV, and a comfy sofa. The space also included a small fridge and freezer to keep your drinks cold while you play. Just off the game room is the laundry room with your private washer/dryer.

The May Family Home is in a compound with two other homes, the Blue House and Skyuka Chalet. The homes share a stunning, heated resort-style pool with an expansive flagstone patio. On the patio, you'll find lounge seating, an outdoor fireplace, and an outdoor kitchen with a covered dining pavilion (guests must provide their own propane and firewood).

Please note that the pool is closed during winter, typically from October to March.

Chattanooga is a city known for its railroads. There are active train tracks that border the property to the north and I-24 is about half a mile away. Please note that light sleepers may be affected by the ambient city and train noise.

The ground floor of the Chalet serves as the poolhouse for all three properties. Guests have access to the workout room, poolside showers, and toilets.

The May Family Home is more than just a house; it's a true forested resort just a tiny hop from downtown Chattanooga.

Pack' n Play Travel cribs are available upon request.

To make sure your stay at the May Family Home is perfect, our locally based Guest Services representatives are on-call from 8 am to 11 pm, seven days a week.
