This is probably the cleanest place we have ever stayed. The location is great, just a short drive to everything Chattanooga has to offer. There is a Food City right down the road along with some restaurants, ice cream and the Incline Railway. We would absolutely stay here again!

Great location for us, clean and accommodating. There wasn’t an additional couch as pictured in the photos which would have been nice with our family of 6. It was a tight fit but served our purpose and budget. The door was a bit tricky at time to get in but we were informed by the host that it was. Overall, we would return and had a great trip visiting Chattanooga.

We loved our stay in this cozy and clean rental house. It was just enough space for my husband, mother, 3 year old daughter, and myself. The location is on a quiet street just a few minutes from Rock City and down the road from the cute St. Elmo restaurants, shops, and Lookout Mountain Incline. Would highly recommend!

Nice

Nice, but small. the parking is awful not made for bigger vehicles. There is a slop to get into the house with lots of stairs. Part of the sidewalk is over growing making it hard to walk. Inside is nice, only one TV in the front from and its very small. Bathrooms are small as well. Over all it's a nice place clean and quite.

We didn’t get to stay as a kid woke up sick the morning we were supposed to leave, but the owner was responsive and understanding. I definitely plan on booking again next time I’m heading down that way, though!

Charming home

This house is very cute and charming. The property is beautiful and you are in walking distance to Guild trail-an easy path for any age. The home was comfy and cozy. The one thing I would say is it needed more seating in the family room. The pic shows 2 couches and a chair. There was only one small couch which left our family of 5 without a comfy seat when we settled in. I would definitely recommend this house to stay in for anyone coming to visit Chattanooga!

Wonderful home in a safe area

Impressed with how clean the house was. Stocked on many things you may need. I had to contact host with a few questions and he always responded quickly. Quiet and safe neighborhood. Just FYI, there is no closet outside of the bedrooms, nowhere to hang coats. Some people may want to bring night lights. Renter before us must have broken one side of the recliner couch, host did not know. Only concern of mine was the weak wifi security. Shower is great for tall people. Would definitely stay with this host again.
