Very responsive host, fantastic location, basic kitchen and bathroom supplies

Great location in quiet residential neighborhood. Host is friendly and very responsive, check-in is a breeze, and place is very clean. Downsides are minor: (1) if you plan to cook, kitchen supplies are basic (knives but no cutting board, for instance); (2) the pullout couch has food crumbs under the couch cushions, so we slept on the couch rather than the pullout; (3) shower supplies are ample for 1-2 persons staying a couple of nights, but bring your own if you have more persons staying for a longer period.

Quick weekend get away

Great location, easy to access, around the corner from Lookout Mountain and a great local restaurant. Cute, simple home. My only thing was the guest bed was very uncomfortable and hard.

Great place to stay!

This is the second property we have rented from the same owners and both times have been great! This house has a open floor plan making it perfect to spend time with family in. It's also in such an ideal location since it is about 10 mins from downtown. We will be back!

Rock City fast trip

I was looking for a place for just one night. Can’t find that everywhere. Very nice little house that meet all our needs. Never had a problem with traffic and was only a few minutes from rock city. If you visit check out the little Debbie park 15 minutes away. It was neat also.

We stopped here for the night on our way back to Michigan. It was just as described in the description. Easy access to the express way. We plan to come back in the future to explore the area more. Thank you for the great 1 night stay!

Close to Everything

My husband and I stayed here for a few days and enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. The house is in what looks like an old area of town but within 15 minutes of downtown. We had our dog with us and, just looking at the picture with the wood fence, I wrongly thought there was a fenced in backyard. There is no backyard- that’s just a short segment of fence on the side of the house. I did feel safe walking our dog around the neighborhood though. Be aware, there is a train and busy road at the end of the street. It is loud if you are a light sleeper. Didn’t bother me but it did wake my husband up a few times. Overall, it was a good stay, close to everything, with clean beds and comfortable living room.

So Fresh and So Clean

As soon as opened the door we were greeted with the nicest smelling rental we’ve ever had. I usually carry my own cleaning rag and spray to rentals. (I know, I know - but I’ve had bad experiences) Didn’t need it here. Kitchen was wonderful for cooking and plenty of room for our family of four. Was also pleasantly surprised by how close we were to so many places including a Walmart for groceries and forgotten socks. Never took us more than 12 minutes to drive to an attraction. Beds were comfy. Would stay again.

Girls weekend

This is the cutest place to stay. It was clean, cute furnishings, cozy, comfortable beds and equipped with everything we needed. It was close to everything. Would definitely want to stay there again. The hosts responded quickly to questions. We didn’t have any issues that needed corrected. The only thing that would have been helpful, and these would never be a deal breaker, is instructions on how to work the ice maker. Lovely place and hosts. Thank you for sharing. Oh. This cute place smelled so good. I have to find the plug in with the scent. It smelled that good! 😊

This house was a comfortable place to stay for a few days. It’s in a good location with a Walmart and many other stores nearby. It was just a five minute walk to the Black Stone grill for a good dinner.
