Great location, beautiful view.
Beyond the beauty of the view and area, not much great to say. Go with expectations low and enjoy!! If your expectations are high, keep looking. Lots of cleaning and maintenance issues. However, alerted property management company...Hopefully all issues will be addressed.

Great place on Tennessee River
My husband, mom, and a friend had four nights at River House and absolutely loved it. The location is very convenient to downtown Chattanooga, attractions and supplies, but is quiet and a lovely place to chill on the deck out front. We also enjoyed The Upper Bank Restaurant, which is about a half mile from the house. Everything is clean, the are terrific; all is just as described. We'll definitely be booking this place again!

Lakeside under the stars
This was my first experience using VRBO. The booking process went wonderfully, and the host was quick to respond to my requests prior to my stay as well as during my stay. The proximity of the house was the perfect spot as we were in town to visit with family and celebrate my uncle’s 90th Birthday by watching him jump out of an airplane at the nearby Chattanooga Skydiving Company in Jasper (11 miles down the road).
The house was lovely and had an incredible view of the lake, and the interior was simply beautiful. So clean and inviting. All the bedrooms were perfect size. I choose the master with the King-size bed. The attached master bathroom was like a whole additional room. Both bathrooms were well stocked with towels and washcloths. The host displays their sense of humor with a cute sign on the bathroom wall. I loved it!! I don’t want to spoil it for future renters.
The kitchen was perfectly stocked with pots and pans and all that was needed for our stay as we do enjoy cooking. There are some restaurants very close-by for those that would like to relax and let someone else do the cooking.
Though the skydiving was exciting to watch I will say that my favorite part of my stay came after the sun was down and everything was peaceful. Oh my… the stars. It was the most incredible view of the galaxy, and I took many pictures.
Thank you so much for allowing me into your wonderful home and giving me space for creating these beautiful memories.

Great spot for family
We loved staying here for an extended weekend. We has a 3yo and a 6Yo, grandparents, and us, and everyone had plenty of room. We didn’t need it because the outside had so much to offer. We hung out on the porch and the dock. It is about a 20 minute drive towards downtown but it’s not a bad one, just something to be aware of. We’ve already referred 2 other friends to the house and hope to come back!

Very Relaxing/Beautiful View
We really enjoyed our stay. Very clean and was very well furnished with everything you might need in kitchen/bathroom (lots of towels and toilet paper 😁). Very quiet while we were there. Not sure how quiet it would be if someone was renting adjacent house with lots of people. Overall we give it an A+

Perfect spot on the river
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this river house! The home was very clean and decorated beautifully. The only problem we had was ants in the kitchen upon arrival, and they continued to be a problem if any dishes or food were left in the sink. Other than that, we had everything we needed in the kitchen to prepare meals! Our kids loved fishing from the dock and using the kayaks and canoes. It was close enough to Chattanooga to enjoy all the tourist attractions downtown while being able to stay away from it all! Thank you for a great stay!

Great home and location for anyone!
Loved this home. Location was close to most of the things we did while in town. Canoes and kayaks for our use was a nice bonus, gave the four kids something to do for the times we were at the house.
Inside of home was very clean and very updated. We had 3 girls stay in the bedroom with the trundle bed and the boy got the queen room. Master bedroom is on opposite side of house, always a plus. Kitchen had the best inventory of cooking/dinnerware of any rental house we have ever stayed at! We cook most of our meals while on vacation and the typical kitchen is lacking some things, not this one, great job owners!
The home had some games that were new and really fun. Made the downtimes better. The driveway is steep and tight, (like most up there) watch the traffic while getting in, people don't slow down on the road.
Overall this house was fantastic and we recommend to any and everyone!
