THE PROPERTY
Bedroom 1: Queen Bed | Bedroom 2: Full-over-Full Bunk Bed

Built in 1914, this historic home is ready to set the tone for a truly charming southern getaway. You're sure to enjoy the lush canopy of trees that surround the furnished porch as soon as you walk up the stairs to the charming home!

Beautiful flooring welcome you inside the home, and lead you to the bright living space that features with a comfy couch and a flat-screen Smart TV equipped with Roku and Hulu Live

Around the corner from the original decorative brick fireplace is the fully equipped kitchen. Prepare for the next day's excursion as you pack a snack for your hike to Ruby Falls along the Guild Trail!

We very much enjoyed our stay here! The house was adorable and the location was amazing! We comfortably fit a family of four. The house had all the amenities we needed, including some games and puzzles we did as a family at night after very full days around town. It was so easy to get downtown or to the mountain. There is even a hiking/ biking trail right across the street that we took advantage of. We had an amazing time! Definitely worth a stay here in St Elmo!

Great home close to a trailhead, downtown St. Elmo and Lookout Mountain. The home was comfortable and extremely clean. All essentials and a few extras were provided. All items were neatly organized and displayed and made us feel well cared for. We enjoyed walking a few feet to the Guild Trail trailhead, hiking to/under one of The Incline trestles (cool photo opp), and on to Ruby Falls. Downtown St. Elmo has nice restaurants and Lookout Mountain was fun to explore. The owner was quick to answer a question that we had. I highly recommend this property.

This is probably the cleanest place we have ever stayed. The location is great, just a short drive to everything Chattanooga has to offer. There is a Food City right down the road along with some restaurants, ice cream and the Incline Railway. We would absolutely stay here again!

Great location for us, clean and accommodating. There wasn’t an additional couch as pictured in the photos which would have been nice with our family of 6. It was a tight fit but served our purpose and budget. The door was a bit tricky at time to get in but we were informed by the host that it was. Overall, we would return and had a great trip visiting Chattanooga.

We loved our stay in this cozy and clean rental house. It was just enough space for my husband, mother, 3 year old daughter, and myself. The location is on a quiet street just a few minutes from Rock City and down the road from the cute St. Elmo restaurants, shops, and Lookout Mountain Incline. Would highly recommend!

Nice

Nice, but small. the parking is awful not made for bigger vehicles. There is a slop to get into the house with lots of stairs. Part of the sidewalk is over growing making it hard to walk. Inside is nice, only one TV in the front from and its very small. Bathrooms are small as well. Over all it's a nice place clean and quite.
