Excellent communication with host. The property was smack dab in the center of all we had planned. I would definitely rent this space again. There was a small issue of sugar ants on a counter in the kitchen, we contacted the property manager and they were willing to have cleaners come out immediately. We deferred this solution, so management refunded our cleaning fee.

This was a very convenient location. We enjoyed Rock City all adorned with Fall colors our first evening and exploring Chattanooga other days. Walkable to little St. Elmo area with a lot of cafes, ice cream and food options. The house was very well suited for the 5 of us with ample space to enjoy meals, cook and just hang out together. Enjoyed coffee on the front porch. Really nice primary bedroom and spa like bathroom.

Great Stay

Our stay in this house was great. We had 3 adults and 3 kids under six years old. The two older kids slept easily on the trundle bed while our youngest slept in a pack in play in a cracked closet in the master bedroom. The house was really clean and stocked with everything we needed. Check in and out was also very easy. The location is perfect as it is a very short drive to downtown Chattanooga and right at the base of Lookout Mountain. It’s also very close to St Elmo’s where you can get ice cream, restaurants, or grocery store. Would definitely stay at again and recommend to others.

Great spot for our long weekend in Chattanooga

We were referred to this house by family members who have stayed here multiple times, so we knew in advance it was going to be perfect for my wife and I, our daughter and son-in-law, and our son. Could not have asked for a better accommodations.

Short getaway

The home was as advertised. Very well stocked, better than average furnishings and condition, and a great St Elmo location right next to all that Lookout Mountain offered. Our trip was a rain-soaked one but the house was great. Super responsive host too.

Sweet house in a great location.

This house was beautifully decorated and comfortable for our family of 4 adults and 2 kids. Located very close to the base of the incline railway. A greenway right behind the house made walking to restaurants and grocery store easy. One small drawback is that the bedrooms are small. The living area was roomy and well equipped. We all thought the house was a winner!

Excelled in every way

Location is ideal! Situated in a neighborhood at the base of Lookout Mountain and highly convenient to everything--Rocky City, Ruby Falls, Incline Railway and fantastic restaurants. We really appreciated access to the walking trail from the backyard and walked to dinner & Clumpies Ice Cream. Drive to Downtown Chatanooga, was less than 10 minutes to even more amazing restaurants--we loved Mellow Mushroom & The Feed Co. Cleanliness was 10 out of 10! Beds were very comfortable and linens high quality. Communication with the property manager was timely, cordial, and very helpful. Thanks for a relaxing week. We hope to return again next year.

Springbreak

The property is well maintained, clean and well stocked. I was impressed with the quality of the appliances, overall cleanliness and the beautiful property. The property is close to attractions and dining. There is a walking corridor directly behind the property that is convenient for exercise and dog walking. There were two issues that do need to be addressed. Our vehicle was vandalized on the last night of our stay, passenger window was busted out. I would recommend that you do NOT park in the back yard by the walking corridor. And do NOT leave any weapons or valuables in the vehicle. After we discovered the vehicle had been vandalized we also found that the window locks on two of the front windows were broken thus having left us vulnerable to break ins. Local law enforcement responded quickly to our call/text regarding the vehicle vandalism as did the manager/owner.

Spacious home

The house was very spacious and laid out well for our trip. My only complaint is that the kitchen was lacking some basic items and had very few pans but tons of empty cabinets. It would be nice to have a few essentials like cooking oil in the house.
