The Pines at Signal Mountain

Worth knowing

• A 9-bedroom, 8,770 sq ft house on 40+ acres that sleeps 26 in real beds.
• Hot tub, private sauna and a chef's kitchen suit a multigenerational group.
• The manager treats 7 or more drinking adults as a party that needs approval in advance.
• Booked directly through the manager's site, with a 50% deposit.

At full capacity that's about 3.7 people per bathroom. That's our math from the operator's numbers.

Ask before you book

Built from what the operator's page left open when we checked.

1. Is your stated capacity the permitted occupancy, or a count of every bed and sofa?
2. Is there one room where everyone can sit together?
3. Can a church bus or coach reach the building, and how many cars fit?
4. Which rooms and bathrooms work for a wheelchair or walker?
5. What is the minimum stay?
6. What is the full price, with cleaning fees and taxes?
