Mountain retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house fit our family of 5 perfectly. The drive down the mountain was not too bad. You must take the time to drive the dirty stone road to see Snoopers Rock.

Fantastic

I recommend this place if your looking for peace & quiet. We were 20 mins from everything we wanted to do. Neighbors were super friendly & if you go on the 4th the community comes together & puts on the greatest firework show! If we go back for a visit we would nore than likely go back here. Owners kept our garbage can empty so that was extremely helpful & kind. Kids had a pack & play to sleep, they really enjoyed the playground, the toys & plenty of family games. We are not disappointed!

Cozy, Responsive, and Overall great stay

Our host was very responsive and when our trip was delayed due to Hurricane Helene, our host was understanding and let us shorten our stay, which was very kind. Great space for a family with infants, with toys, cribs, and space aplenty. We had a great time staying here. Thank you for such comfortable stay!

See Rock City

Great trip to see just some of the sights in the Chattanooga area. We saw Rock City, the aquarium and the zoo during our stay. It was a nice touch to have a fire at night and the s’mores left out by our host.

Absolutely family friendly

This was our first experience with a VRBO and it was a great experience. The owners were very easy to work with, the house was clean, the neighborhood quiet, and my kids had the best time on the playground. Sharron was a thoughtful host and provided everything you may need. I would 100% recommend this host and house to any family looking.

A Restful Stay

It was so quiet and peaceful here. We had a large yard for the boys to play in and there are many beautiful hiking trails nearby. The house was spotless; I couldn’t find a speck of dust anywhere. We were provided with dish soap and laundry detergent, which was helpful since we had arrived by airplane. The linens are luxuriously soft. There were Christmas decorations up also, which added a nice festive touch to our cozy cottage. The hostess is truly gracious and responsive. This was our first time in Signal Mountain, but it felt like home. We will certainly recommend this place others if they come this way.

Treasure in the forest

This home was perfect for our family. Our kids played on the play set non stop. The house was well equipped with linens, towels and kitchen basics. We enjoyed lunch and dinner on the back patio and an evening around the fire pit. We added an extra night to our trip we enjoyed it so much!

Great mini-vacation!

Sharon is great! The home is cozy, clean and beautifully decorated. It was a little farther out than I realized but the house was perfect for my husband and myself along with our daughter, son-in-law and grandson (20 months old). It gave us a place where we felt comfortable with him down walking around. We would not have had this kind of peace of mind in a hotel with him. Thank you for the personal touches and a much needed get-away. Our grandson loved the aquarium and the zoo!

Nice, Quiet place

I loved the house. So cozy and plenty of room for all 6 of us. We had a snack basket which was very nice. The view coming up to the house was beautiful. Waterfalls glamor. About 21 mins from town. Quiet neighborhood. My kids loved the playground. House very clean. Would stay again. Thank you Sharon!

More than expected….in a good way!

We’ve been to many VRBO properties and this one, by far, had the most “everything “ that we’ve ever experienced! A nice card and snacks as we arrived from the owner, more than enough towels and rags of all kinds, plenty of dishes, pots and pans, even extra cleaning supplies and baggies. Anything you could want you could find. Tidy and well decorated, so it felt like home. Even the bathroom spray was a nice touch. The back porch was lovely to sit on and relax. We would definitely return if we visit the area again!

Quaint Mountain Retreat

Quaint little home on the mountain provided a quiet and peaceful weekend for me and my 2 children. My youngest enjoyed the playgroud and my older child enjoyed the outdoors on the back porch. Home is comfortable and Sharon left a sweet note and some snacks on the table to welcome us! She was very communicative and understanding when our departure plans were unexpectedly delayed due to weather. Check-in was a breeze- clear instructions and effortless. *just a little observation: the primary bathroom shower may be a little tight if you're on the taller side ;). Overall- would certainly stay here again especially if most of your adventures are on the trails or in Chatt!

Summer trip

The location was very nice a beautiful piece of property. The house needed a deep cleaning. When we opened the blinds in the master bedroom the dust was very thick. All the fans were caked with dust. There was a mildew smell through out the house. We ended up bringing the mildew smell home with us. It was on all our clothing and bags. We didn’t contact the owner because we didn’t feel it could be cleaned in a short period of time.

Precious memories ❤️

Country house with so much character. Perfect for making memories. The host is spectacular! Hands down best! My husband got sick on our trip so she allowed us to check in early. When we arrived she had left balloons and flowers and birthday whistles for my grandchildren's birthday's which we were celebrating with family from out of town. Then on our departure day the children had not been able to sleep so we were allowed to leave an hour late and she was so sweet about the whole ordeal!! The house is very clean and furnished very well. Plenty of room for children to run!!!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 The playground is perfect for the children day or night!! All beds are comfy, however, the master bed is phenomenal! Super super soft plush and so so soooo comfy! Definitely a top of the list if we return to the area!!

About the host

Hosted by Sharon Carlton

Host profile image
I have lived on top of Suck Creek Mountain my entire life. I love the peacefulness of our wonderful community.

Why they chose this property

The Kitty George House is my homeplace! Taking care of the house, keeping all things in working order, brings a sense of well-being in knowing that my mom and dad's house is providing other families a place to stay and make great memories!

What makes this property unique

One of the best things about the property is the yard! There is nothing like the playground especially in the spring, summer and fall. When it is hot, it seems there is always a breeze in the shade that covers the playground. One guest told me she thought the playground was "magical" because her children wanted to stay outside all day to play! The house is also a great place - big enough for people to have their own space, but also cozy!
The location is also wonderful! I have always enjoyed the fact of being so close to Chattanooga and all that it offers and yet live in a rural place! We see rabbits, squirrels, deer, turkeys and all kinds of birds. You can see the stars at night, and during the summer the fireflies ( lighting bugs) lighting up the yard and fields! It is a great place!
