Cloudland Canyon Cozy Private Hideaway

Meet Little Nelly! A cozy spot for 2 guests max. This Lookout Mountain tiny charmer (under 200 sq ft) offers quick access to hiking, biking, waterfalls, caves, fishing, & hang gliding. Cloudland Canyon 5 min away, Lula Lake Land Trust 15 min, Rock City Gardens 25 min, and Chattanooga & Ruby Falls 30 min. Great eats including wood-fired pizza & BBQ. McLemore Golf Resort 15 min offers great bites, drinks, & epic mountain views! No freezer in mini fridge, but yes to coffee, cream, & sugar!

THE SPACE:
This is a SMALL, private one-bedroom, one-bath cabin-like haven. 2 guests max.

The unit is a detached bedroom and bathroom with a small closet, located next to another guest cabin. Each unit has its own separate entrance, and the back of the property looks out over a small grassy area that meets the woodline. The bed features a queen-size, firm Tempur-Pedic mattress. While there’s no full kitchen, you’ll have a mini fridge (no freezer), microwave, and both a small coffee maker and a Keurig—stocked with ground coffee, pods, cream, and sugar to get your mornings started right. No outdoor grill and no outdoor fires allowed. After a guest outdoor fire incident, we had to make the difficult decision to no longer allow any grills or outdoor fires of any kind on the property. We want to keep our little piece of the woods safe and beautiful for everyone!

Guest parking is to the left of the garage, with plenty of room for a large truck and/or camper. Little Nelly is less than 200 square feet—cozy, quiet, and peaceful. Strict quiet hours begin at 8pm: no loud music and no loud gatherings. Please unplug and enjoy the stillness of Plum Nelly Village, a quiet gravel-road community of small wooden cabins.
