Book a Stay - Project Gallantly Forward
Project Gallantly Forward Veteran’s Retreat is open and would love to have you and your family join us for a few nights of R&R enjoying the serenity of the farm to rest, recuperate, and reconnect with each other.
While our focus is to offer the land to Veterans with their families, at this time we have the capacity to open the land to anyone so we can use this opportunity to spread awareness concerning our mission and the struggles many Veterans face.
We offer 30amp electrical hook-ups and water. No bathrooms are available on-site at this time.
The farm is on Flat Top Mountain, about 45 minutes north of downtown Chattanooga and 10 minutes from multiple trailheads for the Cumberland Trail State Park. On-site we have a fire pit available for your use. We also have a pond where you can catch-and-release fish as well as paddle your kayak or paddleboard.
