I was amazed at the renovation of this older property. They did a great job of giving it a modern look and feel throughout. The kitchen was well furnished as was the rest of the home. I also liked the local area. The management did a great job of ensuring that we would have a pleasant stay.

We had a fantastic time! The art deco vibe throughout the home is gorgeous, and the outdoor fire area was a highlight, super convenient to have the propane tanks ready for us. The home very very clean and welcoming. Great location so close to Rock City & Ruby Falls. The kids also loved the cute loft with the unique spiral staircase, though the small attic doors up there were a bit "creepy" for them (one slept on the couch instead!). Adding locks to those doors would be a perfect fix. Otherwise, an amazing stay and we’d definitely return and recommend to anyone checking it out!

We really loved staying at the Blue Gem in St. Elmo. The common space was comfortable and worked well for our family and the kitchen was well equipped. The two downstairs bedrooms were very comfortable and reasonably sized but the loft is a really tight space for adults. If you’re traveling with kids the loft would be a great sleeping space. St. Elmo is very cozy and we loved the historic neighborhood as well as the close proximity to Lookout Mountain, restaurants and the Food City. And it’s a really easy trip to downtown as well. I’d definitely recommend the stay.

The Blue Gem was a great place to stay for our 4 night visit to Chattanooga! The location couldn't be beat, so close to all the Lookout Mountain attractions and an easy drive to the riverfront. The house sleeps 7 and we were a party of 7. But 6 of us were adults. The host warned us that the loft might not be very comfortable for adults. We booked the house anyway and we did make it work, but I would agree with the host that the loft is best suited for children! Adults can't really stand up in the loft. The amazing, charming circular staircase to the loft was also very narrow. But it was a fun space and perfect for the "short" set! We wanted to make some s'mores and found out the fire pit was out of propane. We communicated this with the manager and propane was promptly delivered. It was a most enjoyable stay! Definitely recommend the Blue Gem!

Great stay at the Blue Gem! It was our first time visiting Chattanooga and it was lovely. The Blue Gem is in a killer location in a safe, quiet neighborhood. We were within walking distance to the Lookout Mountain trails and the new playground. Other attractions were also very close and easily driveable, bikeable, or walkable as the house is on the Virginia Avenue Greenway.The house was adorable and comfortable with all of the supplies you need. Our three small children (aged 6, 5, 3) loved sleeping up in the loft. There is also a full sized tub in one of the bathrooms which made bathtime easy.Overall loved our stay and would definitely book again!

A perfect 2 week getaway. Very clean, had everything you would need for a 2 week stay. The porch swing was my favorite place for coffee every morning. Wonderful walking paths especially for our dog. The home is located close to EVERYTHING... hikes, tourist attractions, restaurants, bars, coffee shops and more. The neighborhood was so quaint, quiet and the people were very friendly. St. Elmo just has a very cool, laid back vibe.

Another Wonderful Visit

This was our second visit to The Blue Gem while seeing family in the area. The house is so well equipped and comfortable, and the location is perfect--a quiet neighborhood setting that's convenient to shopping and restaurants. We enjoyed our walks on the Greenway that runs through St. Elmo. And Katie was communicative and available for questions if we had them. This was truly another lovely stay--highly recommend! and we will return.
