If you tell someone you’re staying in a cabin in Tennessee, they’ll probably assume you’ll be staying atop a mountain overlooking Gatlinburg in the Great Smoky Mountains. But not as many people know about these truly unique cabins in Southeast Tennessee that are floating on the Tennessee River. That’s right – just outside of Chattanooga, you can find one of the most unique places to stay in the entire state, if not in the entire country. You’ll simply love waking up to these stunning views.
The Hales Bar Marina sits on the shores of picturesque Nickajack Lake right outside of Chattanooga.

The marina has cabins for rent that truly offer a once-in-a-lifetime experience. They float right on the water of the lake!

You can bring your boat and pull the boar right up to the cabin, or you can just drive up and stay in the cabins.

Spring and fall rates start around $70 per night for the cabins, while the base rates rise to $100 per night in the summer. But we think that’s a steal for such a cool opportunity.

The cabins have 1 to 3 bedrooms and everything you would expect in a hotel room.

The cabins are the perfect home base for your weekend on the water, but there’s also plenty of other things to do in the area.
