A modern dog-welcoming cabin on 10½ private acres near Chattanooga, TN.
Where nature and outdoor living mingle with comfortable luxury.
Close to Chattanooga (just 40 minutes), yet tucked high in the trees
with beautiful ridgeline views. It was built for those who crave quiet, connection,
and space to exhale.
It was the Fall of 2021 when we bought our property, sold our city home, and everything that wouldn't fit into the small storage shed, and said why not?!
Why not move into a 20-foot camper and design and build our dream home?
And so we got to work.
As we cleared the land, we uncovered ridgeline views and countless Y-shaped knotty branches.
“Why Not” stuck.
Now, we happily share what we built with our beloved guests (and their pups!), and if you decide to stay, we hope you feel the ever-present Why Not energy and good vibes 🌈
Guests say: 'Pictures don't do justice.'
Never miss a sunset!
Sit back, take the tour, and dream about your escape!

Award-winning cinnamon rolls (not kidding!), sourdough breads, and more!
Mollie owns this delectable micro-bakery, and she happens to live a hop, skip, and a jump from Why Not. She’s like Little Red Riding Hood and literally leaves the basket of yummies on the doorstep.
"The owner, Kelly, hooked us up with Mollie, who delivered freshly-made sourdough bread, farm-fresh eggs, and homemade cinnamon rolls straight to us. The bread and cinnamon rolls were ridiculously good!"
