About this property

Entire place

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

Enjoy the huge southern porch. Grab your sweet tea, Relax with Your Best Friend!

We are located on the lower side of Missionary Ridge. The battle of Missionary Ridge was fought here on Nov. 26, 1863. The Confederates camped in the very spot where this house was built in 2016. It is a one story house. We are pet friendly and have a nice Fenced in yard. My insurance does not allow pitbulls, chows or dobermans or any mixes with these breeds. It is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, living room, dining room with a washer and dryer in the kitchen. Comfy furniture and soft beds for your sleeping pleasure. I furnish toiletries and Little Debbies and coffee. Downtown Chattanooga is only 2 miles away. Across the street we have Shuffleboard, Horse Shoes, Picnic table with a grill. The garden on the next tear up was on the Hamilton County Master Gardener's Show in 2013. Walk through the garden, enjoy the views of Chattanooga, and sit down by the Mermaid Fountain with goldfish, and let your worries disappear. Relax with your sweet 2 dogs! My insurance does not cover Chows, Pitbulls, Rottweilers, or Dobermans.

This property was such an adorable cottage. It was convenient to Rock City and Lookout Mountain, as well as to Ruby Falls. A bit of a drive to get to the Missionary Train Ride, though. The hostess was very pleasant and friendly; she came over to introduce herself, which I really thought was nice of her to do.

Spring Break

The house is located in a quiet neighborhood. There were families and children playing we felt exactly like a home away from home. All of the attractions are a short easy drive away. We had a wonderful getaway!

Perfectly sized for a family gathering & we enjoyed the front porch swing. Minor negative was that description mentioned that the house is wheelchair accessible but the master bed is very high and there are no bars near the walk-in shower. Host lives nearby and made sure to welcome us in person. Home is well-positioned to drive to different parts of Chattanooga area.

Great stay

This property is as cute as the pictures show. When driving to it, we were a little nervous because the area looked sketchy but it was in no way an area that you feel threatened. I would definitely stay there again if we ever visit Chattanooga again.

Overall great stay

Pros: decorated nicely; comfy beds with plenty of extra blankets/pillows; very well appointed - everything we needed; plenty of games, toys and books for all ages. Cons: No blinds/thin curtain in bedrooms; exterior doors would feel safer with extra interior locks; wasps nest in playground equipment.

Chattanooga visit was enjoyable

Convenient location - be sure to enter from Dodd's street - close to downtown and also the attractions at Lookout Mountain. Lots of great restaurants are downtown and the Choo Choo depot is fantastic! Home is just the right size for a smaller group with plenty of kitchen supplies, linens, and a lovely front porch. Miss Tammy is a wonderful hostess. The only problem we had was using the TV in the living room to access the major networks.

Exactly As Described

This is a very nice home with a cottage feel. The property is well kept and has nice amenities. It was very convenient to downtown and to Lookout Mountain. It is a very good option for travelers with limited mobility. The house is all on one level. The walk in shower in the master bath was an added bonus. Recommended.

Christmas fun

We enjoyed our weekend in Chattanooga. The home was a short drive from everywhere we went: the Tennessee valley railroad, ruby falls, and Rock City(such a magical experience for our 6 year olds). Having a home away from home makes life so much easier vs. a boring and not decorated hotel room.

Best in Town

The house was better than staying at a hotel. My grandkids enjoyed the bunkbeds and the many different games the house provided. Better bang for the buck and the cost included many items, such as a washer/dryer and kitchen area. The location was outstanding for trips to the Ruby Falls, Rock City and to downtown Chattanooga. Highly recommend anyone planning a stay in Chattanooga for a couple of days or more, to book the house.
