Welcome to Tiny Tanasi!
Tiny Tanasi, derived from the Cherokee word for Tennessee, is a tiny house in a unique space where comfort meets nature. You'll find everything you need to enjoy a wonderful stay surrounded by acres of peaceful forest just 8 miles from downtown Chattanooga.
Tiny Tanasi, entirely your own to enjoy, is cozy and comfortable. It offers a sleeping loft with a queen size bed and a reading loft - both accessible by ladder. We have a fully equipped kitchen with everything you'll need including pots & pans, dishes, cutlery, coffee, tea, spices, a gas range, microwave, and a French press. Tiny Tanasi's bathroom has a stand up shower with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash there for you. Our living room, with a smart TV, has a couch that transforms to accommodate an extra large twin sleeping space.
You can choose to completely disconnect while here or tap into our lightning fast internet (over 1G)! Working remotely from here is easy, reliable, and relaxing.
Tiny Tanasi's backyard is Prentice Cooper State Forest with its 26,000 acres of semi-protected land. We have trails throughout our nature retreat to explore and they start right out the front door. There are two nearby creeks that offer seasonal blue hole swimming. Sulphur Branch, down the hill from Tiny Tanasi, is easy to access. And Suck Creek, a local favorite, is just on the other side of Suck Creek road from the property.
We have several fire pits for you to enjoy for fireside chats and marshmallow roasting. We also have a charcoal grill for your use.
Tiny Tanasi is one of four cabins on our property where our family has been working for years to create a rare space for our guests to enjoy. Each cabin was either built by us from local materials or remodeled by us to be a unique space for you to experience. Born and raised here in Chattanooga, this land is the place we choose to raise our children - surrounded by nature and the incredible beauty of the Tennessee River Gorge. For the past three years we hosted a small outdoor school for children on our property. It has since moved across the street, but you can still find remnants of our outdoor classrooms in the forest.
I am happy to answer any questions and provide recommendations. We love Chattanooga (born and raised), so we're always excited to share what this place has to offer. We also live nearby and can be available if needed.
Our property is only 8 miles from downtown Chattanooga. The wide gravel entrance to the property is easy to find off a main highway. To access Tiny Tanasi, you will make your way up our gravel drive to the upper tier of our property. Even with two-wheel drive, it is easily navigable.
Other Details To Note:
Tiny Tanasi is nestled in the woods and while we do our best to keep nature on the outside, life can sometimes find a way in. This may not be the place for you if tiny insects are a deal breaker.
The running water for Tiny Tanasi is sourced from our natural spring on the property. We have a gravity-fed water system in place and encourage responsible water conservation practices.
In the event that Chattanooga experiences multiple days of below freezing temperatures, it is likely the water source for Tiny Tanasi will freeze. We will do everything in our power to provide a comfortable experience, but please understand that we have no control over mother nature.
This tiny house may not be the best spot for exploring toddlers as there is a ladder to access the open loft spaces. Be sure to take that into consideration if booking with children.
We straddle the Eastern and Central time zones. Be aware that cell phones may alternate between the two when in this area, but we abide by Eastern Standard Time (as does Chattanooga).
