We are a 45 minute drive from Chattanooga as well if you are looking for a fun day trip! Our Honey Bear Cottage has one bedroom with a queen bed. The space comfortably sleeps two people, however, two more could easily sleep in the living room with a daybed we've added to the space. The daybed is great for lounging during the day, but can easily be converted to sleeping arrangements for two. The unit has a kitchen equipped with basic kitchen supplies including a full size refrigerator, electric stove, microwave, and ample storage space. This cottage has one bathroom. Please keep in mind, this cottage is considered a tiny home, so the bathroom is on the smaller side. The bathroom includes a vanity space, toilet, standing shower, and several cupboards for storage. Our favorite feature of the Honey Cottage is the back deck that faces the National Park! Perfect for outdoor dining, or simply enjoying the fresh air. All guests are welcome to walk and enjoy the beautiful and peaceful grounds on the Bear Hollow property. *There is no front desk onsite. Our local team is available 9 am to 5 pm and by phone for any emergency 24/7.* Location: You will be located right next to the entrance of South Cumberland State Park Visitors Center (1745 US Hwy 41).

Great stay at a great price! Our host was quick to respond, and our stay was comfortable. We enjoyed the quiet in the evenings. Close to Sewanee and a few fun parks. Nice restaurants within a 20 minute driving distance. We would definitely stay here again!
