Great stay at the LODGE!
Could not have been more happy with the property. It was perfect for our group of 12 people. We golfed at McLemore and it was an ideal location for that. 100% would stay again. Jon was a pleasure to work with.

Family Fun in a Lovely Part of the World
Our three families had a wonderful stay. There were so many activities to engage in right on the property - which was perfect for active families. Beautiful, spacious home and property. The owner was very helpful and attentive.

Wonderful stay
We had an amazing time at this beautiful home. We had 20 family members staying and had more than enough room. The property is just as beautiful as the house. It was so calm and relaxing. Jon was such a gracious host. He checked in on us and made sure we were always taken care of. We will certainly be going back

Fantastic Lodge!
We were so impressed with this wonderful lodge and all the fun activities available. Our grandchildren loved being there and hated to leave. There is lots of room in the kitchen and den and the deck surrounding most of the lodge was super nice, allowing us to view the mountains, stars and moon. The pool and hot tub were big hits for the grandkids as well. Jon was especially nice and helpful in explaining all we needed to know. We highly recommend this excellent lodge!!!

A great place for families!
We had 19 people staying at the main lodge, the auxiliary house, and the carriage house. There was plenty of room for all of us. Great spaces to gather as a family for eating, chatting, etc. Beautiful views all around and the pool was great John (owner) was extremely attentive and communicative. Would return!

Serene Country Lodge
Beautiful lodge for a larger family to enjoy the scenery with a country setting. Plenty of room for 20 people to sleep and cook meals. Kids loved the swimming pool and adults loved the hot tub. The lodge was close enough to enjoy Rock City, Lookout Mountain, Ruby Falls and other attractions around Chattanooga Tennessee.

Great for Family Reunion
Had a great stay here Labor Day for a family reunion. Beautiful property; everyone, esp kids loved the pool and hot tub. Made several hikes to the really nice creek on the property. Also a short trip to a nearby waterfall, which was dry but still a scenic hike. Owner was very accessible and nice throughout the process.

Family Gathering
This place was very special and I’m grateful to have found it for a short family celebration. I would have loved to stay longer. There was plenty of room for us to convene, cook, rock on the porch. The owner/proprieter John was very helpful before and during our stay. I highly recommend this place. It’s worth the money!

Work Retreat
Our team stayed here. Jon the host was very responsive and house fit our needs well. Be aware there are a few rooms with windows or doors that don't have fixed walls between spaces, so sometimes caused for them to have difficulty going to bed before the rest of the group (due to hearing the common spaces). Our group loved it, and would gladly go back and stay!

An absolutely wonderful stay!!!
Jon is a perfect host! He answered questions and gave us helpful information and checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. The lodge was spotless! With plenty of activities for all ages. There were 14 of us and we were all comfortable. Thank you Jon!

Great Stay
Beautiful and spacious property. Very peaceful. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because we could not use the tower room. You have to be agile to climb the ladder. Mr. John did offer another place on the property but we all wanted to be under the same roof and it was spacious enough to enjoy the couch. We will definitely be back!!!

Love the lodge!
We were a party of 16 from infants to grandparents, plus day guests for a family cookout that numbered 40+. There was MORE than enough space for all of us; even if it had rained on our cookout we’d have had plenty of room inside. We swam in the pool, relaxed in the hot tub, played volleyball and kickball, and took a little hike to a nearby waterfall. It was a wonderful week!

This was exactily what we were looking for.
This is a beautiful lodge, with a lot of space for gathering. When we walked in with our 20+ college students the first 15 min. was filled with them excitedly running around taking pictures of this rustic lodge that they were going to be able to call home for a few days. The owner was great and easy to work with. We had a great time seeing Rock City, Incline Railway, and Ruby Falls, which were a short 30-40 min. scenic drive away. You can't go wrong with this one.

2023 Family Vacation
We enjoyed our time at Jon’s place. The place was very clean, the beds comfy. We enjoyed the pool and chatting in the rockers on the front porch at night. The kitchen had a nice layout. The walk down the hill to the auxiliary house is a steep one and even those of us that play tennis everyday came in huffing a bit after walking up it. The waterfalls in the area were beautiful and so was the walk around the property to the river. Cooling off in the pool was nice and the air conditioning worked extremely well in every area of the home. We went in to Chattanooga and hit a couple breweries and had dinner at the FEED co table and tavern. They accommodated all 20 of us with good service and food. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

Loved McClemore Cove Lodge!!!
We decided on staying at McClemore Cove Lodge for our 2023 Church Retreat, and I'm so happy that we did. The lodge along with the auxiliary house was perfect for what we needed. Everything was just as advertised. The property is secluded enough to enjoy a peaceful atmosphere, yet only a short 14 minutes drive to retail/ grocery stores. The lodge had plenty of room, and was very clean and well stocked. Jon was very helpful. He walked us through the cabin, showing us where everything was and he came by daily to collect the garbage and to make sure we were good. We are planning to stay again for our 2024 church retreat. I highly recommend! Great place with awesome mountain views. Everyone enjoyed it!

Couldnt be happier !
When I was looking for a place for our family and friends to come together I couldnt get too many commitments at first, I kept going back to this one! I made the risky decision to go ahead and book hoping everyone would be able to come .I am so happy I did! We filled every room and also used the auxiliary house, It is perfect !! There is so much room , plenty of bathrooms and so much to do . The home has everything you could need. The views are amazing . The hosts are beautiful people. I really cant say enough about this expierience ! We were all so blessed to have such a special place to be together for 3 days. We had ages 1 - 70 . The stairs are a little challenging for some of us seniors but I managed even with recent hip surgery . Thank you so much Jon .
