You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Tiger Lily - A PMI Scenic City Vacation Rental

The Tiger Lily is a beautifully remodeled A-frame cottage in a tranquil setting with views of lovely Nick-a-Jack Lake. If you're looking for a perfect destination getaway, look no further. Relax on the large front deck and enjoy the views of your own mountain getaway. Located just 30 minutes from downtown Chattanooga, this home has everything you need for a relaxing stay. Whether you are coming down for hiking, relaxing or just to get away from the work hustle, this home is for you.

The kitchen has all the essentials for cooking, etc. Please note, there is not a dishwashing machine so dishes will need to be washed by hand.
NOTE: There is limited cell service at the house

Attention guests: We have some local celebrities in the area - our neighbor's dogs! They're big fans of impromptu visits, so don't be surprised if you're greeted by some enthusiastic furry friends. Consider it a special perk of our neighborhood!

There is NO direct access to the water from this property. The water is visible from the home but in order to walk to it from the front of the house you would have to cross onto private property that does not belong to us. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS - it is trespassing. Directions to a nearby (5 minutes away) public access boat ramp will be provided upon booking in your check-in email as well as on a print out in the home.

PLEASE NOTE: Although we are DOG friendly, we do NOT allow cats. For dogs, we charge pet rent of $25/per night per pup. (THIS WILL COME AS A SEPARATE CHARGE AFTER BOOKING AND IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDED WHEN YOU BOOK YOUR TRIP). If you have not disclosed that you will be bringing a pet in the booking process, please let us know. Although we are a pet friendly home, due to allergy issues of future renters we request that pets not be allowed on furniture (particularly in the bed). We also prefer pets be crated if left alone. Please pick up after your furry family member!

Damage Fees If Applicable (ranges are based off item size and quality):

Towels: $4 - $38 per item
Bedding: $8 - $66 per item
Comforter: / Encasements $88 - $141 per item
Pillows: $27 per item

Furniture / Decor / Fixture: Charged to guest according to vendor repair invoice

Excessive clean fee: $50 - $200 depending on extent of work required

Smoking inside property: $200 per day of your stay

Although we have great WiFi/internet at the house, we do have poor cell service in certain areas of the home.

PMI Scenic City requires a rental agreement for all of our properties. Must be 21 or older to rent this property.

Please be advised, for stays 30 days or longer, we require a "mid-stay" clean approximately every 15 days. The reduced cost of these clean(s) will be added together if applicable and calculated according to length of your stay - THIS ADDITIONAL COST IS NOT CALCULATED IN THE LISTING PRICE WHEN YOU INITIALLY BOOK and is due upon booking. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. For this location, each clean will cost $85.

(For stays of 30 days or longer) A starting supply of consumable goods (paper towels, toilet paper, coffee) will be provided upon check-in. For extended stays, guests are responsible for purchasing consumable goods if they need more outside of what is initially provided.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Serene stay, beautiful river views

We enjoyed our short stay at the Tiger Lilly. Location is quiet and remote, yet a good base camp for exploring Chattanooga area. Our kids called it "the triangle house" :) The upstairs access stairs are a bit cramped for tall people but otherwise the house was perfect. Excellent fiber wi-fi, which was helpful as cell service was spotty. The grounds and green lawn nextdoor were fun fot both kids and dog to roam. We enjoyed a dinner out on the porch and watching the river barges.

Cute and cozy

It was a nice location if you're trying to relax, and such a pretty drive to the house! We have a 3 year old, so we did go to Chattanooga a couple days during our stay to ride a train and do some hiking! We also went to the Cloudland state park which is nearby and that was nice too! Just drive around and you will be amazed, if you're not used to seeing mountains every day!

30 miles from Chattanooga, Beautiful Lake !

Overall its very nice, but small, 4 people MAX, Great views of the lake right out the front door. Huge front deck. Big driveway for your cars. Very clean, sharply refurbished in most areas. Beds need updating and the water pressure from the artesian well is pretty low - you might want to run up the PILOT for a quick shower.

Lakeside Aframe

Cute a-frame with lake view; clean but smallish. Beds were comfortable but no door on one bedroom so not very private. Kitchen is small - no dishwasher; no bakeware other than cookie sheets, no storage bowls, etc so plan to bring your own or purchase locally like we did. We liked the property but would probably try another location if we return.

Cute little place....

My family of 3 enjoyed our stay. Its fine for chilling and as a base for going into Chattanooga. As other reviewers have mentioned, understand the size of this place before you book it; the water pressure is a real challenge; the dogs mentioned in the description are dirty, outdoor living, country dogs who can/will bark morning, noon, and night, and will camp out right in front of the front door if allowed. This house is on a populated street so you will hear/see the neighbors and their motorcycles, boats, parties, etc. Like with anything, manage expectations and you might really like it here.

Perfect for the weekend

Big credit to the host. The listing is accurate. Poor cell service and no dishwasher. The checkout process is a little more labor intensive than most vrbo’s as they want all dishes cleaned before you leave. But they’re up front about that. The WiFi is great. Beds are comfy. A couple of neighborhood dogs like to come visit. But don’t worry; they are very friendly.

Cute and modern

We found the cabin to be clean and updated with modern touches. The gps would have taken us past the house but it was easy to find. It is close to towns and attractions. The lake view was nice and we had a couple of black dogs say hello to us in the morning. After we gave them some love and back scratches, they laid at the door for a bit before meandering off. We are dog owners ourselves so we did not mind. It was our first time in an A-frame house. There is a bit of low head clearance at the bottom of the stairs to watch out for but it wasn't an issue for us. The fas fireplace was nice and it did put out some heat. All in all, we had a great weekend staying there.

Cute and Cozy

Decor was cute and Cozy good for a family of 4. Place was stocked well. There is no direct lake access and the house is not on the lake. The house is not the best outside setup if your going to vacation to chill and sit outside for a wonder picturesque view in the woods or on a lake, but we were out adventuring most of the time so it was perfect. Super clean and was big enough for me my husband and teenager to return to at night watch some tv and hang out.
