About this property

Close to all Upcoming Local Events! Ironman, Antique Alley, Summer Travel Ball!

Welcome to our beautifully restored 1942 family heirloom cottage – a cozy, character-filled retreat just minutes from Rock City, Ruby Falls, Covenant College, and all that Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain have to offer.

Space Designed for Comfort & Connection
Inside, you’ll find a warm, inviting layout with plenty of room for everyone. The indoor stone fireplace anchors the living area, creating the perfect spot to gather on cool mountain evenings. Two comfortable couches and a Smart TV make this room ideal for movie nights or simply relaxing after a day of exploring.

Just 10 minutes from Ruby Falls and Rock City and only 25 minutes to downtown Chattanooga, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds: nature at your doorstep and city conveniences an easy drive away. Hiking and walking trails surround the property, giving you plenty of space to explore, unwind, and soak up the mountain views.

The home features 3 bedrooms and 5 beds:

Master bedroom with a plush king bed and Smart TV

Second bedroom with a full-size bed and Smart TV

Upstairs loft with 2 twin beds and a pullout couch — perfect for kids, extra guests, or an added flexible sleeping space

High-speed Wi-Fi keeps everyone connected whether you’re working remotely, streaming shows, or gaming on rainy days.

Spa-Inspired Bathrooms

Unwind in the luxurious bathroom featuring a deep soaking tub complemented by bath salts and bath bombs for a true spa experience. The waterfall shower brings a touch of nature indoors, helping you relax and recharge.

Pets welcome with approval! Ask about fees for bringing your best friend along on you're adventure.

Fully Equipped Kitchen & Outdoor Living

Cook with ease in the fully stocked kitchen, perfect for big breakfasts, family dinners, or holiday gatherings. Outside, enjoy your own private oasis with a Big Green Egg for grilling, a cozy fire pit for roasting marshmallows, and a private yard where kids and pets can play.

A Mountain Escape Close to Everything

Located on the scenic highway, the home offers peaceful seclusion without sacrificing convenience. You're minutes from iconic Lookout Mountain attractions, yet far enough to enjoy the calm and charm of mountain living.

Whether you're exploring Chattanooga, hiking Lookout Mountain, or simply relaxing with loved ones, Lulorae Retreat is your perfect home away from home. We can’t wait to host you!

Very cute and cozy little cottage! Host was very welcoming and went out of their way to drop off fire starter so we could enjoy a nice fire and smores. Very clean and had everything we needed to enjoy a couple days watching our daughter play basketball at Covenant College. Would definitely recommend!!

We had the most amazing stay at this beautiful cottage. The hosts were beyond sweet and helpful. We walked into this cottage and instantly felt comfortable because it just felt like "home". There's really no better way to describe it. We didn't feel like we were staying at a rented space, but more so coming to visit home away from home. Our kids loved the space (and the toys / puzzles!) and it truly had everything we needed! You can tell there was so much thought, intention and love poured into this home. We are very thankful we got to stay at this place and will most definitely plan on visiting / renting again in the future.

Our stay was ABSOLUTELY amazing! The home was beautiful and very clean. I really enjoyed the soaking tub, and the host went above and beyond to make the experience relaxing and special. There were bath bombs, face masks, candles, and other items to help you feel relaxed and pampered! It’s very close to plenty of activities and dining options but also located in a quiet, relaxing area. My husband and I spent our 12th anniversary here, and it was truly memorable and perfect. The host messaged us before we arrived and the day after to ensure we didn't need or want anything while we were there! We look forward to returning very soon!

Luxury, spacious, cozy home

The best VRBO!!! My friends and I stayed here for a wedding at McCloud Resort and it was the perfect place to relax and close by to local attractions (hang gliding, Rock City, and Ruby Falls. The entire place looks newly renovated and is tastefully decorated. There is a large soaking tub as well as a waterfall shower head and they provided bath bombs, robes, slippers and coffee/ local goodies at check in. The owner was super friendly and responsive throughout our trip.

Caroline and her friends were great! The house was left in excellent shape and very clean. I can’t say enough good things. I’m glad you enjoyed the house and our little goodies. We’re very proud of what we have to offer. Thanks for staying with us, and giving us a shot even when we hadn’t had any reviews yet. You’re welcome back any time.

This was an absolutely amazing cottage with a wonderful host family. It was central to everything on Lookout mountain, just a short drive away. Everything was so comfortable and we had everything we needed. Grateful for the soaking tub and the laundry access. The host was so thoughtful and my kids enjoyed making s’more’s outside by the fire. They also loved sleeping upstairs in the loft/attic space. I would definitely come back! My one daughter said one of our days there was one of the best of her life! Thank you for a great stay!

Amazing Mountain Cottage!!

I’ve stayed in many VRBO’s, but this one really stands out. The cottage is beautifully decorated and appointed. The location is fantastic and very close to many Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain sites. The kitchen is well stocked and had everything we needed to prep Thanksgiving dinner. The beds were so comfortable! The owner, Derek, provided very easy and clear check-in and check-out instructions. He was very responsive throughout our stay. Don’t hesitate to book this cottage if you’re planning to visit the area!!
