The Space:

Red Roost offers a cozy, woodsy escape with a warm, earthy energy. Designed to feel like a classic cabin retreat with a touch of modern ease, this space invites you to settle in and slow down. Outside, the private deck is outfitted with hammock swings, a dining bar, and a private hot tub surrounded by rolling farmland and tree-lined hills. In the bathroom, you’ll find Timberroot’s Signature Enchanted Forest bath products—a custom-scented blend of pine fir, amber, and tobacco—for an added layer of grounding comfort.



About the Farm:

Quail Run Farm offers the best of both worlds, with peaceful countryside charm just minutes from the heart of downtown Chattanooga. This unique spot lets guests enjoy quiet mornings on the farm while still having easy access to top attractions like Rock City, Ruby Falls, the Incline Railway, and the Tennessee Aquarium. Guests staying at Quail Run have the opportunity to enjoy food raised right here. From pasture-raised eggs and grass-fed beef to house-cured bacon and seasonal specialties, every item we offer is produced with care on our land. While meals aren’t provided, guests can pre-order select farm-raised items to stock their fridge or fire up the grill for a true taste of Quail Run. Looking for an up-close look at life on the farm? Guests are welcome to book a guided tour. These casual, family-friendly experiences offer a chance to meet our animals, explore the pastures, and learn about regenerative farming practices.



If you have any questions, comments, or experience any difficulties during your stay, our team of dedicated, locally based Guest Services representatives are on-call and available to help from 8:00 am to 11:30 pm every day.



Guest Access:

Your unit features a digital keypad at the front door for easy, private access — your code will be provided at check-in. The home is entirely yours during your stay.



Beyond your front door, Quail Run Farm is yours to explore. This is a working farm, so we ask that guests be mindful and follow all posted signage. Roam the grounds, sign up for a farm tour, ride the ponies, try an outdoor cooking class, or check out one of our on-site property events (fees may apply). And be sure to say hello to Sampson, our resident farm dog. He's the unofficial welcoming committee and never turns down a good scratch behind the ears!



The Neighborhood:

Quail Run Farm is a 120-acre working regenerative farm just minutes from downtown Chattanooga. Out here, rolling pastures meet views of Lookout Mountain, and the pace slows down just enough to feel like a real escape. But you're never far from the action. Downtown Chattanooga's restaurants, breweries, and attractions are a quick drive away, and outdoor adventures like hiking, rock climbing, and paddleboarding are right around the corner. Closer to home, take some time to explore the farm. It's the best of country living with city convenience just down the road.



When you're ready to venture off the farm, there's plenty happening around the area this fall. Rock City is running its Enchanted Pumpkin Patch from September 18 through October 31, with hand-carved jack-o'-lanterns lighting the gardens after dark, just a short drive up the mountain. Downtown, September brings Ironman Chattanooga, with the finish line at Ross's Landing drawing a crowd all day. Wine Over Water follows on October 10 at Renaissance Park, and World of Bluegrass takes over the city October 20–24 with showcases and a downtown festival. And the first weekend of November, Ross's Landing fills up again for Head of the Hooch, one of the largest rowing regattas in the country. Quail Run Farm is a perfect home base for all of your autumn activities!



Getting Around:

We recommend having a car during your stay — there's plenty of parking on the property. Uber, Lyft, and local taxis are available in the Chattanooga area, though availability can be limited in rural areas.



The city of Chattanooga offers reasonably priced parking on the street and in several public parking lots.



A free electric shuttle bus runs between the Chattanooga Choo Choo and the Tennessee Aquarium with stops at every block. The buses run every 15 minutes, Monday through Friday from 6:30 am to 10 pm, Saturday from 9:30 am to 11 pm, and Sunday from 9:30 am to 8:30 pm. Bus schedules may vary, please consult the Chattanooga Area Regional Transit Authority website for the most up to date schedules.



Bike Chattanooga offers bike share rentals at 42 self-service kiosk locations all around downtown Chattanooga. With over 300 bicycles and 50 e-bikes this is a great way to explore the city. Visit Bike Chattanooga’s website to learn more.



Other Things to Note:

We have a guardian Great Pyrenees who protects farm animals from coyotes. He is gentle with other dogs, but does like to play. If your dog is not friendly or doesn’t like to play, it’s probably not wise to bring your dog. We can’t put Sampson up because he has to guard the livestock.



We require a signed rental agreement to book.



Please note our cancellation policy.
