Amazing Property- super pet friendly!

The place was absolutely lovely! So cozy and great for playing board games in the evening. Also incredibly dog proof, we brought our 3 month old lab and were worried about her getting into stuff, but it was so clean there was nothing for her to find! A wonderful place to stay!

Beautiful house with lots of hospitality

The house is very well kept and the owners did a great job communicating with us. No issues finding the home nor getting in. They go above & beyond to make sure their guests feel welcome. When we saw the dog treats, bowls, and blankets, we were a little sad we didn’t bring our dog! They had a fully stocked coffee station, soap, shampoo, lots of little extras you really appreciate when you’re traveling. Great find!

Exceptional Stay at Willow House - Highly Recommended!

Staying at Kurt and Melissa's Vrbo was an absolute delight! Their place was immaculately clean, extremely comfortable, and they were always available and helpful whenever I had questions. The location in Highland Park brought back wonderful memories of when I used to live there. It’s the ideal spot, perfectly situated between downtown, the mountains, and other attractions, while still offering a peaceful retreat away from the city's hustle and bustle. I will definitely be returning to the Willow House. Their pet-friendly approach, with dog blankets, poop bags, and treats, was fantastic. Additionally, the provided coffee and other amenities were thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home and worry-free. Kurt and Melissa genuinely care about their guests’ experience. Their stylish decor and accommodating nature made our stay memorable. I can't thank them enough for their exceptional hospitality.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The hosts were kind, easy to communicate with, and made sure we had what we needed. The house is very spacious—especially the kitchen, which was well stocked with everything we needed for meals. We also loved having both an upstairs and downstairs. It gave us space to unwind after the kids went to bed and to enjoy a quiet cup of coffee in the morning before they woke up.There are a few things future guests might want to know. There’s only one bathroom downstairs, which made nighttime trips a bit inconvenient. The home is pet-friendly, which is great, but you could tell—one of the blankets had some cat hair on it, and the couch had a noticeable smell that made it harder to use. We also didn’t realize before booking that it’s a shared house. The hosts stay on their side, and while they were respectful of our privacy, the thermostat is on their side as well. They were very responsive when we asked for temperature changes, but it would’ve been nice to have that control ourselves, especially late at night or early in the morning.The two upstairs bedrooms have window units that kept things cool once we figured them out, though they can cut in and out a bit. The location is convenient—close to downtown and the interstate—and there are a few great playgrounds and a coffee shop within walking distance. Just be aware that the house sits on a busy corner near a light, so traffic noise (including fire trucks) can be loud at times. The hosts thoughtful

Great for a quick trip!

Super cute place that is within 15 minutes of everything. The dog blankets, bowls and towels were a great touch. We knew there was only one bathroom but didn’t realize it was downstairs (bedrooms are upstairs). This was tough with kids when they had to go potty at night. Downstairs gets hot but the AC units in the bedrooms work great. Very spacious with a large kitchen. They gave us late checkout so we could keep our dogs crated while we went to the zoo, which was very nice! Overall a great experience!

The house was beautiful and clean. The hosts were attentive and checked in with us once or twice to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well stocked and there was even a basket in the hall of often forgotten essential items. Very thoughtful! We would definitely stay here again.

Pleasant and very clean.

Property his located close to downtown. Plenty of room for us. My wife and I met our son and his two boys in Chattanooga for a couple days. Large kitchen and two bedrooms. We are use to having everything on one floor, as most properties where we are from are single story. The two bedrooms were upstairs and bathroom was on first floor. Not a big deal until getting up in the middle of the night. LOL Those of us who are older will understand. Over all it worked out great.

Great Value

This was a great place to stay on a budget. It had intentional touches and the hosts do a great job of anticipating guest needs at this property. The check-in, check-out process were both very easy and we experienced great communication throughout the process. The listing doesn't mention that the space is shared with the hosts (at least that I could tell) and the property has a recommendation for quiet hours because the hosts and their children are sleeping on the other side of the wall. I'm sure we kept them awake at least one night with how rowdy our kids were on check-in night. It is definitely pet-friendly, but it was also pretty evident that animals had been present as there was still a good bit of dog hair and some of the linens/towels still smelled like dogs as well. All very minor issues that did not affect the overall pleasant and convenient experience on a budget. Would definitely revisit and recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Graveline

Host profile image
Hi there! We are a busy young family with roots in Alabama and Ohio and recent stints in Brooklyn, New York and Portland, Oregon. Melissa is an Architect and Kurt is a Landscape Architect.

When not designing at our day jobs, we love exploring Chattanooga with our 4-year old daughter, Camelia, and 6 year old Doxipoo, Maple.

We bought and renovated this 100-year old house in early 2022. Melissa loves the old charm of the house and tastefully accentuated it in the renovations. And Kurt is slowly but surely bringing back the beauty to the exterior of the old home. We hope you like what we've done with it!

Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your stay more enjoyable.

Why they chose this property

We have a shared love and passion for old walkable neighborhoods. Ridgedale and our the adjacent neighborhood, Highland Park, are a couple of the most historic, diverse, and walkable parts of Chattanooga. We're invested in this part of the city and want to see it continue to thrive and we love sharing it with visitors.

What makes this property unique

We cover every imaginable detail. If you forgot something at home, we have it ready and waiting here for you!
