The VRBO was so cute! The location was a little interesting, but we had a great stay. We were able to check in slightly early, which was amazing! Easy place to walk around, about 5 minutes from Oddstory Brewery.
Two car garage was handy. Area felt safe. Dogs welcome for a small fee. All site were a short drive and Food City was a nearby grocery store that had everything we needed.
Nice and well appointed place, clean and plenty of space to spread out. Location could have been a little better but it was quiet and there’s one great brewery nearby
This house was perfect for our stay and conveniently located within a short drive to everything. The host was very prompt with answering any questions we had! Overall, we enjoyed our stay!
The property was lovely! I would note that it is situated directly next to a train track, but the area felt safe and the trains weren't loud enough to bother us at all. Everything was clean and modern, and the coffee/espresso bar was great! Also, it is very conveniently located near great restaurants and things to do. We would definitely stay here again.
We just returned from a mini vacation to Chattanooga. This place was exactly (if not better) as pictured. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching the trains go by. Ben was always very quick to respond the any questions. We would highly recommend Southside Charmer and we’ll definitely be back.
This was the perfect place to stay for a family wedding in Chattanooga. The location was very convenient. The kitchen was a joy to use to prepare meals; the coffee bar was a treat; and there was plenty of light and space. Garage parking is a bonus and it was easy to get our fur family members to the small dog park. There are trains and train sounds but we enjoyed them and slept well each night in the very comfortable beds. All the bathrooms were clean and well appointed. Laundry was available also and came in handy. We would most definitely stay here again!
Ben's rental property was very cute and spacious with plenty of room for the 7 of us! Everything was exactly as pictured.Check in was prompt and easy. Ben was very responsive and gave really good local recommendations for restaurants and bars. The unit was really well stocked with a coffee bar and had all the kitchen utensils and appliances we needed.Each bedroom was well decorated and had comfy beds and towels.We didn't have any children with us, but there were gates around the stairs, a highchair, and plates and utinsils for kid's.Over all, 10/10 would reccomend!!Thanks for a great stay!!!

Host was great, amenities are great , Location in city is safe although a little isolated. Drawbacks for us was that we thought this unit would be only two stories not three. My 85 year old mom had to stay in bottom floor bedroom 90% time. Bringing her up to family area was a task. My son's wife is 6 months pregnant and the two flights of stairs to get to upstairs bedroom was not easy. She is ex Military and in mid 20's,great shape but that is a workout. Other issue I wish we had known is constant train noise ,unit backs up to major freight rail line. Unit is great if you love stairs , you are in good shape and don't mind Train noise. Bring luggage up to 3rd floor is not easy , stairs are steep.
The space is beautiful and was perfect for our family and dog. We had some unexpected and last minute changes to our plans, and the host, Ben, was incredibly responsive and accommodating. The space is beautifully decorated; the beds are comfortable; the kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals for the week; and the coffee bar is amazing! We would definitely stay here again.
Beautiful townhouse- seems brand new. Nicely furnished, comfortable sofa and living area with very large tv. Kitchen was wellEquipped and the coffee area was phenomenal. Nespresso, Keurig and fullSize carafe coffee maker, hot water heater for tea. Snacks, some coffee pods, filters, sweeteners, coffee mate creamers provided. Brita water filter in refrigerator. Very thoughtful. Beds were comfortable, all rooms with own bath. Enjoyed the place. Very convenient to downtown (6 minutes by car).
Absolutely wonderful home, conveniently located from downtown Chattanooga. We had everything we needed and then some. The coffee bar was a huge hit, as we are all coffee drinkers. I have stayed in many VRBO rentals and this was definitely a top 3 for me! Yes it’s 3 floors of living space but none of us had a problem with that. Yes it is near railroad tracks but we barely heard the trains at all. It’s not like speeding trains, blowing their horns. It’s just slow rollers. The brand new Chattanooga Lookouts minor league stadium is only a couple miles away, huge perk. If I stay in Chattanooga again, I will be looking at the availability for Ben’s place!
Everything was great. There are 3 levels, we had expected 2 but it worked well for our group. Loved that it was so close to downtown but didn’t feel surrounded by businesses.
Super cute house for our girls trip! Easy communication with the owner, very accommodating when we needed something! Bonus points for the cute wallpaper throughout the house and coffee bar!
Very hospitable host. It’s a nice renovated stay. Bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper due to the train but it’s not horrible at all. Would definitely stay here again!
Here is a friendly and balanced version:This was a very clean, spacious, and comfortable apartment in a great central location for exploring Chattanooga. The area felt safe and convenient, and having a private garage for parking was a major benefit. The kitchen was especially impressive, with plenty of space and a large island. There were also large TVs in every room and a comfortable couch that made it easy to relax with family or friends.A few considerations to be aware of. The apartment is approximately 30 feet from the train tracks, and trains do run throughout the night. The unit is extremely well sound insulated, so the trains themselves are fairly muted and should not bother you, but the squeaking of the train wheels did occasionally wake us. It was also difficult to make the bedrooms completely dark because some windows had thick curtains while others only had thinner shades. The showers had plenty of hot water, but the water pressure or shower heads were very weak.Overall, the apartment was newer, well maintained, and very comfortable. The location, spacious layout, private garage, and large kitchen made it a convenient place to stay in Chattanooga.
