A great weekend
We really enjoyed our stay! Even though there was a burn ban and a drought, we relaxed in the hot tub, hiked in Desoto Park, visited arts & crafts events, went antique shopping, and ate local. The fenced in yard was a plus for our dogs. A perfect getaway to celebrate our 27 year anniversary.

Anniversary get away
This property is amazing in all aspects! Quaint and quiet, just what we wanted. All the amenities you would need or want. A great hot tub, fireplace and fire pit. The yard is beautifully wooded and private. We made use of the outdoor grill more than once. The beds were especially comfortable and we slept like a dream. We lost power one day and Holly was more than helpful finding out how long repairs would take and than gave us suggestions on things to do in town. We were close to two great restaurants and also De Soto falls where we wanted to hike. Took a day trip to nearby Chattanooga, this cabin was fairly centrally located to everything on our to do list. I would definitely recommend it!!! Thanks for a wonderful anniversary!!!!

Cozy, quiet, comfortable
Absolutely loved everything about this cottage- view of & access to the water, comfy beds, nice appliances, adorable decor and aesthetic, quiet location in a beautiful residential area… I could go on! The hot tub sits within a screened porch just outside of the back door. It’s very nice & felt amazing! Much thought was put into making this spot as cozy as it is efficient. The yard is perfection. Your doggo will agree! We are already planning to return & stay longer.

Winter Retreat
We had a lovely 2 night getaway at The Shire. This quaint and cozy property was ideal for a relaxing weekend of enjoying steaks on the grill and a dip in the hot tub. Although we brought some items “just in case” The Shire was equipped with all that we could possibly need. The cabin was well organized and clean. It is evident that the property is well maintained both inside and out. Looking forward to our next visit.
