About this property

PERFECT FOR FAMILY REUNIONS/RETREATS PEACEFUL & QUIET WITH GORGEOUS MTN. VIEWS!

PLEASE NOTE: THERE ARE 7 BEDROOMS AND 4.5 BATHROOMS IN THE LODGE! Also available are the auxillary house (3 bedrooms/2baths/sleeps 8) and the Barn house which sleeps 4, has 2.5 baths, and a non-kid game room. Both of the houses are 500 feet from the lodge at the bottom of the ridge with a driveway going to them. THE AUXILLARY AND BARN HOUSE HAVE ADDITIONAL FEES AND ARE NOT INCLUDED IN BOOKING PRICE. Please talk to Jon if you would like to add either or both houses for your group. We can sleep 32 people in beds with all 3 houses.
The lodge can sleep 20 people in beds and there is plenty of room for everyone. The 2 adjacent great rooms provide lots of options for tv watching, gaming, conversation, or just relaxing by the fireplace. The 2,200 sq. ft of open area on the ground floor is perfect for connecting with family and friends. Previously, in the summer season we only booked by the week from Saturday to Saturday BUT THIS SUMMER WE ARE OFFERING 3 OR 4 NIGHT STAYS! We can do a Saturday-Tuesday (3 nights) or Saturday-Wednesday (4 nights) or a Tuesday-Saturday (4 nights) or a Wednesday-Saturday (3 nights) PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE LESS THAN A WEEK WHEN YOU INQUIRE AND WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO ACCOMODATE YOUR NEEDS!
The 2 kitchens provide lots of options for the cooks and chefs as well. The larger kitchen has a gas oven, convection oven, and convection microwave oven as well as 2 full sinks,dishwasher,XL fridge, and lots of countertops for preparation. The smaller kitchen has an electric stove, XL fridge, dishwasher, full sink, washer/dryer, and more countertop areas. There are 2 full-size dining room tables and seating at the bar in the larger kitchen/dining area as well.
There are 3 bedrooms on the main floor and 1 full bath and a 1/2 bath as well. These rooms all have queen beds in them and give our guests who don't want to climb stairs the option of not having to while still being able to access the great rooms.
Upstairs there are 2 huge master bedrooms that each have king beds, sitting areas, bathrooms with jacuzzi tubs, and walkout balcony decks with gorgeous views. There is also the bunk room with 2 sets of bunk beds and also a loft area with a very comfy futon and Thomas the Tank Engine track set for the younger train enthusiasts. At the top is the tower bedroom which has incredible views in all directions and has a full bed in it.
The lodge has over 2,500 sq. ft. of decks and porches so no matter what time of day it is you can find some shade or sun to relax in a rocker or chair. The covered front porch is great if it's raining to listen to the rain on the metal roof or to watch the sun set over Lookout Mountain. The back screened in porch is awesome to enjoy birdwatching or listening to the sounds of nature. The enclosed porch has the foosball table and sauna and outdoor game equipment and the 3 balcony decks are great for a morning cup of coffee to start your day. The large side deck has incredible views year round as you can see to the end of the cove.
The back patio has the hot tub and leads to the 36 ft inground pool that is exclusively for your use. The pool is the place to be for all ages either wearing out the young ones or relaxing for the older ones. Also in the back is the fire pit and outdoor fireplace which provide endless hours of memories while relaxing and roasting marshmallows.
There are 3 acres of front yard space for kids to roam and play games as well as the woods to explore. Take a mile hike on the property that goes through the woods and across the lower pasture to Chickamauga Creek which is on the property. The creek is 30 feet wide and usually is only a few feet deep. The kids love to play in the creek and look for animals and their footprints. Also, searching for arrowheads is a popular endeavor around the creek as well.
The Lodge of McLemore's Cove is a custom built 6,000 square foot log home that has many unique features that will make your stay memorable. The 28 ft. cathedral ceilings and the massive 10 foot front doors are a glimpse into what is in store for our guests. Gorgeous mountain views in all directions and unheard of privacy make this a place that seems to have been untouched by time. The Lodge sits atop a ridge with Lookout Mountain 2 miles to the west and Pigeon Mountain 2 miles to the east and the end of the McLemore's Cove 5 miles to the south. The early risers can watch the sun peek over Pigeon Mountain and everyone can watch the beautiful sunsets over Lookout Mountain. And the best is yet to come as once the sun sets the spectacular night sky puts on a show that is breathtaking. If you love nature's beauty then you will be at home here and if you enjoy real log homes this is the place for you. If you want the big city and parking lots then you may have a change of heart after your visit. Whatever your preferences we will welcome you to a beautiful log home that is in a gorgeous setting.
The Lodge has been featured on the Bravo Channel, the Up Network, and Southern Lady Magazine. Come and see for yourself why this is the place for your next get together.

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.

Our stay was beyond perfection. Jon was so communicative and kind and went out of his way to make sure the hot tub was on for my group who was doing a long running race that morning. He was available to answer any of our questions and made sure we knew we could contact him if they were ever any issues. There weren’t any issues. The house was beautifully decorated for Christmas and so warm and inviting. Our group of 20 ladies was more than comfortable And if we run another race in Cloudland, we will certainly stay there again. This spot is perfect for a party, family union, company event, friend weekend. It’s just perfect
