Very cute and cozy little cottage! Host was very welcoming and went out of their way to drop off fire starter so we could enjoy a nice fire and smores. Very clean and had everything we needed to enjoy a couple days watching our daughter play basketball at Covenant College. Would definitely recommend!!

Luxury, spacious, cozy home

The best VRBO!!! My friends and I stayed here for a wedding at McCloud Resort and it was the perfect place to relax and close by to local attractions (hang gliding, Rock City, and Ruby Falls. The entire place looks newly renovated and is tastefully decorated. There is a large soaking tub as well as a waterfall shower head and they provided bath bombs, robes, slippers and coffee/ local goodies at check in. The owner was super friendly and responsive throughout our trip.

This was an absolutely amazing cottage with a wonderful host family. It was central to everything on Lookout mountain, just a short drive away. Everything was so comfortable and we had everything we needed. Grateful for the soaking tub and the laundry access. The host was so thoughtful and my kids enjoyed making s’more’s outside by the fire. They also loved sleeping upstairs in the loft/attic space. I would definitely come back! My one daughter said one of our days there was one of the best of her life! Thank you for a great stay!

Amazing Mountain Cottage!!

I’ve stayed in many VRBO’s, but this one really stands out. The cottage is beautifully decorated and appointed. The location is fantastic and very close to many Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain sites. The kitchen is well stocked and had everything we needed to prep Thanksgiving dinner. The beds were so comfortable! The owner, Derek, provided very easy and clear check-in and check-out instructions. He was very responsive throughout our stay. Don’t hesitate to book this cottage if you’re planning to visit the area!!
