Thank you for the glowing review! So glad you all enjoyed your family time.
The location was ideal for our family get together. Room for 8 adults. Beautiful view and peaceful but Chattanooga close. The house was clean and we really enjoyed the hot tub at night.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Viewtopia! The house is very well stocked and accommodated our group of parents and travel softball players perfectly. We wish we could have stayed longer to take advantage of the views and the amenities!

Thank you for the glowing review. Hope you can come back & visit.
PS I bought more solar lights today to put by the driveway. :)
We had such a great time here. The view was amazing and it was a great place for having a large party of adults. We had 7 adults total and all had plenty of room. This place is very dog friendly with the fenced in yard that connects to one of the bedrooms balcony. Our two dogs had a great time as well.
My family and I stayed at this glorious property, it was a very last minute decision and Diana was able to accommodate. The process was so easy and she was super friendly!! The place is AMAZING!! Fully stocked with all vacation needs. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a beautiful relaxing and comfortable place to stay!

We loved our stay at Viewtopia! You can see for miles and miles from every window, the views are spectacular! A cup of coffee on the kitchen balcony for sunrise. A cocktail on the deck for sunset. The house was well stocked and perfect for a relaxing stay with our dogs. The hot tub was a great way to soothe the sore muscles after taking in a nearby hike.

Viewtopia is a fitting name
Property was beautiful, clean and comfortable, and Mel was easy to communicate with.
Only gripe was that running water doesn't seem potable, but two large cases of bottled water were provided and that was greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the great words! Viewtopia's water comes from a well with a filtration system. It's totally safe, and we drink it whenever we're up there. It just smells peculiar. The high mineral content is actually good for you, if you can get past the "fragrance." ;-)
Update: We have now upgraded our filtration system and the water has drastically improved!

Breathtaking view and ammenities
Mel, the owner, was so available to us at any times before and during our trip (not that there was ever a problem). The hiuse was clean, hot tub hot, and view AMAZING! It would be great for a large family because they have made it to where everyone can have their own little porch for privacy but also had several large gathering places to eat as a family. 10/10

We're so glad that you had a good time at Viewtopia! Thank you for this great review. I do need to mention that Viewtopia has two bedrooms, and our maximum capacity is four people. ;-)
We had an awesome weekend at Viewtopia. We planned to come to the Vintage Market Days of Chickamauga and visit with family who live in the area. This house was right in the very location that was perfect for our needs.
We found everything we needed here to have a very relaxing weekend with a spectacular view.
We only wished we had more time to spend there!
Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Our stay at Viewtopia was PERFECT! Pictures simply do not do the view justice. Mrs. Diana was so sweet and was quick to answer any question I had concerning our stay. The house was very spacious and accommodated 6 of us perfectly. Our family will be visiting viewtopia again in the near future! A sweet host, beautiful view and spacious home! We will be recommending Mrs. Diana as well as viewtopia!!

So wonderful to hear. Thank you for the glowing review & compliments. Glad you were able to have a wonderful experience to ring in the new year. Hopefully by your return visit we'll have some hiking trails opened up.
I loved this house. The views were amazing. You will be able to experience incredible sunrises and sunsets. Perfect for climbers heading to rocktown. I would/hope to stay here again. Could use a larger hot water heater though since it was not large enough to fill the tub in the master but it was a very cold weekend as well.

Oh that's awesome! Rocktown was the first place I rock climbed outside way back in 2001 :). So glad you enjoyed your stay at our house. As we are new owners we learned this winter about the tub & hot water heater not being a good match. We are in the process of putting in a tankless hot water heater to help with this issue. Thanks for your feedback. We look forward to hosting you again!.

Great rental especially for 2 families. Great view.
Positives: amazing view,plenty of room for 2 families,inside clean and inviting,loved 2 kitchens & 2 laundry rooms. Well stocked,nice furnishings,pool table great. Lots of outdoor seating. Negatives: outside needs pressure washed and decks replaced (felt main deck was unsafe so we did not use) mostly used covered area near garage. Road to house should be grated and high weeds cut.
Overall a great rental.

Thanks for all the positives! : ) There were some unpretty boards on that deck that we just replaced. We take safety seriously and never felt it was unsafe. We (and our guests) are on the deck regularly and have had family get-togethers there. We had replacing the boards on our lengthy to-do list, but since we knew they were sound, they weren't at the top of the list. That said, we definitely want people to feel safe, so the new boards are now in place. We do have the driveway graded from time to time, but we have to have it done during the dry seasons, or the next rain after the grading will turn it all to mud. As of now, it's bumpy, but solid. (Update 8/7/18: We had a long enough gap between stays this month that we were able to go ahead and have the grading done, instead of waiting for a dry spell.)
I couldn't ask for a better birthday weekend. It was exactly what I wanted. Secluded, but close enough to enjoy the area. The views from the house do not disappoint! I even woke up early to watch the sunrise from the hot tub! Loved how dog friendly this place is! The dog run made letting them out to go to the bathroom so easy! The sunroom is perfect to cuddle with your pup and read a book. I could go on and on. If you are looking for a relaxing getaway, book this place!

Beautiful views and fantastic furnishings.
Had a fantastic time. The views were spectacular. The lady bugs took some getting used to. Although the place was great. The smell of the water is so bad it was impossible to take a shower. I grew up around well water but this was the worse I've ever encountered. I will not be staying there again.

Thanks for all the positive stuff about Viewtopia! We had a new filtration system put in a few years ago, but it didn't improve the water as much as we'd hoped. We'd been looking for a solution and had just ordered a new catalytic carbon and peroxide injection filtration system. I'm sorry we couldn't have had it installed before your stay! It's now in place, and has made a GREAT difference! The cold water now has no odor, and the hot water has a minor residual sulfur smell that we think will go away as the hot water heaters are flushed with use.
Really cool setting and the house was perfect for or family of 4 plus our pup to escape for a few days. Having the dog run was awesome. We played many rounds of pool. We arrived after dark and it was a little confusing because there are no pics from the driveway but being the last house wasn’t to hard to figure out. The kitchens were well stocked with just about everything you could need. The only downside is the are so well stocked there is limited cupboard space for food. All in all I would return here and have already recommended it to friends and family.

Thank you so much for the glowing review & input. I actually was thinking about cupboard space recently because it is an issue when we stay as well. I've started moving thigs around to create some. I will definitely add a photo from the road to help out. I appreciate it!
