About this cottage rental

Located in Tennessee, this lovely cottage for $125 per night is a great option for your next trip. NO EVENTS. NO PETS, due to the unique situation of farm activities and farm animals present, no outside animals are allowed for their own safety and the safety of our farm animals. As our reviews reflect, we work hard to make the cottage clean, inviting and a place to make lifetime memories. Whether you are traveling with several family members, a group of friends, or only a couple - we know that you will find relaxation on the big porch rocking chairs or around the fire pit. There is just something so amazingly peaceful about watching the hens and cattle going about their leisurely lives of grazing and resting. The property has plenty of room to toss a ball or frisbee; play flashlight tag, chase fireflies or catch snowflakes on your tongue. There is a cornhole board and bags set for outside and board games for inside. We have decorated the cottage in an inviting, comfortable country theme. There are books and inside toys for the children to enjoy (if you can ever get them inside). The kitchen offers everything needed for your stay. With two separate round tables and bar stools, you can all enjoy a sit-down meal in the house - or a picnic style meal in the pole barn which is lighted with strings of clear lights. The master bedroom has a queen sleigh bed, large walk in closet and a full bath. The south bedroom has a queen sleigh bed and a twin bed with antique dresser. The north bedroom has a unique door-headboard, queen bed and a twin bed with beautiful views of the hay barn. The south and north bedrooms share a full bath and walk in closet. The living room has TV with cable and DVD, seating for 10 and lots of floor space to play games. There is also a game table in the living room. The kitchen/dining room is very spacious with beautiful oak table/chairs and an island with bar stool seating. The kitchen is fully furnished with stove, oven, side-by-side refrigerator with water dispenser, dishwasher, microwave, coffeepot, blender, dishes and cookware.

We had a lovely time at Big Porch Cottage. The setting was just far enough outside the city to feel like a retreat, but close enough that driving over for a day’s adventure was easy and convenient. The hosts were so gracious, and we loved getting to feed the cows with them. The kids were thrilled with the Christmas decorations and had a great time playing cornhole. The house was warm and welcoming, with everything we needed right at hand. We’d love to come back someday!

We booked Big Porch for 2 nights, as we brought our oldest son and his family for Christmas. I'm a sucker for rocking chairs and porches, and this did not disappoint!! The cottage and grounds are well kept. The host family has the cottage fully stocked along with items we didn't think we needed; the Christmas tree and decorations were an added bonus!! The puzzles were fantastic!! What a way to get away from the phones. We were able to decompress in the pavilion from our drive but did not have time to feed the chickens and cows, which upset our 9-year-old granddaughter. We introduced the grands to the Chattanooga area. Plenty of memories were made on this trip!! I highly recommend you consider Big Porch. Tammy and Steve put a lot of hard work into making it your home away from home!!

What can we say that hasnt already been said? The location is amazing and Tammy was a great host. She offered to let us come feed the chickens, which our 5 year old loved so much. Tammy had great recommendations for local things to do the day it rained. Very little light pollution and on a clear night we sat out under the milky way and were able to see so many stars. Simply amazing while being in nature and so close to chattanooga.

Mrs. Tammy and Mr. Steve are a very nice couple. Their place is quiet with a beautiful country view. It's only a short drive to Chattanooga and the drive there is so pretty with the Fall colors. We were there over Halloween and Mrs. Tammy contacted me to invite our kiddos down to their place for Trick or Treating too. Their place is extremely clean and well supplied in kitchen/bathroom areas. We didn't have any babies or toddlers but she has all the gear, so worries about carting yours along. The farm animals were super cool and our kiddos also petted the cows. The house is back from the main road so the kids loved running around outside. Our daughters and son enjoyed the toys provided and corn hole game outside. Thanks again for a very relaxing, quiet, and fun memorable vacation. Kathy and Tom

The home was well stocked with everything we needed and very clean. Mrs. Tammy came out to meet us the second day and she’s so kind. We loved being able to have a nice space outside for the kids to play and watch the cows and chickens! Would def stay again!

We loved staying at this cabin! We had a family wedding up the road and this location was perfect. We went into downtown chatt one day and it was an easy 20 minutes drive. We had 5 young children in our group and this cabin was amazing! Toys, board games, child/baby equipment, puzzles, high chair, bed rail, pack n play, plus all the open spaces for running around and looking at cows.. amazing place to stay with children! Tammy and Steve were great hosts. Very helpful and quick to communicate. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!
