* beautiful 20 minute drive to downtown Chattanooga * Waking up inside Goldfinch feels like starting your day in a fairytale. Sunlight illuminates the bottles on the walls, changing in tone throughout the day. Tall ceilings, comforting textiles, and small touches draw your attention to each nook and cranny. Be ready to be transported to a different world! This cordwood cottage was lovingly constructed by the owners one log/bottle at a time. Goldfinch is 1/4 of the "Songbird Neighborhood" at the newly-created Talking Water Nature Retreat. Talking Water is a family-run business located on an 82-acre strip of land, a mile of which runs along Suck Creek. Our family has worked tirelessly for since April 2022 to repair damage done to the land and make it better than it ever was. Part of this plan includes recreating hiking trails across the property. Our primary intent is to host large groups (up to 26 guests) for family reunions, friend trips, business retreats, religious/club gatherings, etc. We have created this space for people to come together while also maintaining their privacy. There are 4 cabins, Chickadee, Whippoorwill, Goldfinch, and Blackbird. Each include their own sleeping (for 6-7), full indoor bathrooms, outdoor showers (available from last frost to first frost), cooking (full kitchens plus outdoor campsite grills), lounging (patios, porches, and decks), and indulgences (such as electric fireplaces, tv, wifi). At the center of the neighborhood is the Songbird Pavilion. The pavilion features an outdoor kitchen with an electric griddle, sink, and cabinets. There is a firepit, chairs, benches, and tables. Also, nearby are the slide, tetherball, and hiking trail. The guest laundry and games/extra toiletries are available a short distance away in the garage. Cabins may be rented individually or as a collective (one listing for 4 cabins).
