If you are visiting Outlook Mountain, don’t forget to stop by Cravens House. This is a perfect place to park your car and hike to Point Park and Sunset point. When you come up on Scenic Highway watch out for the road sign to Cravens House. You take a left turn and drive up the steep slope. The road gets really narrow, but continue and you will see the entrance gate to the parking lot. This was our first visit to Cravens House and were anxious as the road became narrower. The parking lot is big. Unfortunately, the house was closed on The day after Christmas. We decided to hike to Point park.

Cravens house is great from my perspective as an outdoor enthusiast...there are many trails all over lookout mtn that can be accessed from Cravens house. Some are easy and you can push a jogging stroller on them while others are more technical and lead you up to point park or sunset rock but those trails I wouldn't recommend taking a jogging stroller. If you have a young kiddo put em in a baby backpack vs a stroller for those hikes. Cravens house also has a lot of historical significance especially surrounding the Civil War

Cravens House isn't open but it's worth the stop on the way up to Point Park. Beautiful views of downtown Chattanooga and beyond! Monuments, cannons and historical plaques describe the importance of the battles and markers. Don't miss seeing Lookout Mountain Battle Field Park and Chickamauga Battle Field. The history lessons are set in beautiful natural surroundings with epic views. If you really want to get back to nature, take one of the many hiking trails at both sites.

The house itself was closed up when we visited, and doesn't look like it has been open for quite some time. There are some plaques and a statue and some old cannons which my nieces and nephews really enjoyed exploring around. If you go behind the house there is a lovely view of the river and surrounding area. There are also a couple trails up the mountain that are fun to wander and some additional monuments and plaques up there.

This place was a great find. Getting up there is sketchy with the narrow road, but it's only about the last quarter mile. Plenty of paved parking. The Cravens house is cool and has some nice views, but I definitely recommend taking the hike to the top. It's about 3 miles round trip. Totally worth it.
