Driving from Chattanooga to Nestled Inn
Allow approximately 1 hour 45 minutes from Chattanooga, using the hosts’ planning estimate. Your starting point, route and traffic can change the journey; check current directions to Smithville before departure. Chattanooga is on Eastern Time and Smithville is on Central Time. Follow the local arrival time in your reservation.
A private setting for your time together
Enjoy sweeping lake views on 3.5 private acres, with an outdoor hot tub and private sauna. Two queen beds sleep up to four guests, with room for a couple to spread out. Our optional romance package is $125 and includes a bottle of prosecco, an assortment of chocolates and flowers. At least 48 hours’ notice is required. Ask the hosts about adding the romance package to your stay.
Pair a town visit with an evening at the dome
Spend part of the day around Smithville Square, one of the guidebook’s suggestions for local shops and a slower afternoon. Return to the property with time to enjoy the views and hot tub. If you want a more active day together, swap the town visit for Rock Island State Park, about 25 minutes from the dome according to our guidebook.
For a longer park outing
The guidebook lists Fall Creek Falls State Park at approximately an hour from the property. Set aside enough of the day for the drive and your chosen outing, and check current park conditions first. Plan a Fall Creek Falls visit.
