May House | Massive Vacation Home with Pool & Swim Spa
14 guests ·
6 beds ·
5 baths
Welcome to the May Family Home at Wauhatchie Woodlands, a Timberroot Rustic Retreat. Once the personal home of Frank, Nicole, and their children, the May Family Home is the largest and most well-equipped accommodation offered at Wauhatchie Woodlands. This vacation dream home is flanked by National Park land and dense forest, with quick access to downtown Chattanooga, Ruby Falls, Lookout Mountain, and the surrounding area.
The kitchen is open to dining, a dining bar, a living room with a wood-burning fireplace, and directly adjacent to the massive stunning sunroom with vaulted ceilings. The sunroom exits to a spacious back deck with a swinging bed, outdoor dining, and direct access to the private swim spa.
On the same living level is a bathroom shared by a queen bedroom and the kid's room with a lofted queen bed and a built-in slide. The slide room sleeps two small people up top and has a single bed below. Across the hall is a beautiful queen bedroom larger than many master bedrooms and a stunning newly renovated bathroom. This large queen room has a TV, a small work desk, and seating for TV watching out of bed.
Down the hall are the two massive loft rooms. The river-facing loft room has a private deck, picture windows, separate shower and toilet rooms, a closet, and a spacious TV den. Two full/twin bunks in the loft can sleep up to six. The back loft room features two lofted full beds over a king. Also on this level are a sofa, separate shower and toilet rooms, and a closet. Upstairs is the workspace with two desks and a daybed with Smart TV.
Downstairs is the massive main suite with a luxurious king bed, modern armoires, a wood-burning stove, and the media area with a large sectional sofa and a 65″ curved TV. The main suite has a large bathroom with two vanities, a walk-in shower, a deep bathing tub, and a small cedar sauna. The fully loaded game room is also on the lower living level with a full-size pool table, ping pon top, foosball, air hockey, Smart TV, and a comfy sofa. The space also included a small fridge and freezer to keep your drinks cold while you play. The laundry room with your private washer/dryer is just off the game room.
The May Family Home shares a roundabout driveway with two other Wauhatchie Woodlands homes, the Blue House and the Skyuka Chalet. However, guests will have two dedicated parking spots. The homes share a heated resort-style pool with an expansive flagstone patio. You'll find lounge seating, an outdoor fireplace, and an outdoor kitchen with a covered dining pavilion on the patio. The ground floor of the Chalet serves as the poolhouse for all three Wauhatchie Woodland homes. Guests can access a shared washer and dryer, a workout room, poolside showers, and toilets.
At Wauhatchie Woodlands, we're committed to ensuring your stay is perfect. That's why our local guest services representatives are available from 8 am to 10 pm, seven days a week. Whether you need assistance with the cabin's amenities or recommendations for local attractions, our team is here to help.
Note: The pool is closed during winter, typically from October to March.
