A modern dog-welcoming mountain cabin on 10½ private acres near Chattanooga, TN.
Where nature and outdoor living mingle with comfortable luxury.
Tucked high in the trees with beautiful ridgeline views, Why Not was built for those who crave quiet, connection,
and space to exhale. You're close to it all yet feel miles away.
It was the Fall of 2021 when we bought our property, sold our city home, and everything that wouldn't fit into the 10x20 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 BTW, we're not just dog-friendly, we're dog exuberant ;)
If you decide to stay, we hope you feel the ever-present Why Not energy, peace, and good vibes 🌈
Cheers!
Kelly, Candace, and Ethel, the OG of Why Not
