Everything was so clean and welcoming. The host was responsive and courteous. The view was spectacular!!! This was our second stay and we will definitely be back
The Cloudland Cottage was everything that was advertised! My wife and I celebrated our 38 wedding anniversary and really enjoyed our stay. The one thing we can give a top rating was the comfort of the bed at this location. We will be back again soon with our granddaughter.
Was happy with the home, it was well equipped and clean. Location and view were great! The washer and dryer being downstairs where a tenant occupied made using them out of the question.
I would give this experience 50 stars. The views were better than advertised, and the property was beautiful. The host did a lot of little things to make us feel welcome (bottle of wine, shower gel and shampoo samples to name a few). When we go back, we will definitely try to stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay, even though cut short by events beyond anyone's control. Host was accomodating and gracious, and provided extra unexpected touches, like a bottle of wine. Truly delightful, and we hope to return.
The home was exactly as described. Great location and great set up. Good size rooms for multiple people. The house has a great view from the windows and deck.
This is a gorgeous property with the most AMAZING views of the valley below. Only twenty minutes from Chattanooga, it was so easy to drive to the city and check out all the usual tourist spots (make sure you eat at Puckett’s, Scottie’s On The River and Tony’s!) We had a little issue getting into the property but the owner was fantastic and fixed that straight away, as well as sending my laptop back to MS only a couple of hours after we left when I realized it was left there. You could spend hours if not days on the deck outside gazing at the view, especially the sunsets, which are out of this world. I can’t recommend the property, location and management enough!
Our stay was great, even if some of the circumstances were not the best! We had 4 adults and two children under three, one of which got very sick. The cottage was perfect for allowing everyone to have a room to themselves AND let me take the sick baby in the living room to sleep on the futon without disturbing anyone.
Incredibly spacious, the cottage was a wonderful place to decompress in between family wedding activities and the view was amazing. The back patio was a perfect spot to answer some emails or enjoy a drink.
Like other reviews, it does take about 15 minutes to get down the mountain but the view is worth it every time.
The host was great and even gave us an opportunity to check in a little early, which is always so helpful when travel with littles. My sister and her boyfriend were already eyeing the tiny home on property for their next trip!
The house was perfect for what we needed for our weekend getaway. Everything was clean and welcoming, the bed in the master was the most comfortable bed I've slept on, and the heated floor in the bathroom was so nice.
The living room was a nice space for relaxing after a day out hiking. We very much enjoyed our stay.
We didn't love knowing someone else was right below us and the access they had through the hall door, but it worked out. I'd suggest adding another form of a lock so the guests feel more comfortable knowing someone can't easily get to their space.
Lovely cottage and was the perfect cozy place to stay for a quick weekend trip to visit our son going to SLTC.
Thank you for sharing your cottage with us!
We really enjoyed our stay here. Clean, well maintained, kitchen has extras for cooking, and just 20 minutes from downtown Chattanooga. The back porch view is something special. We will book again if open for us too.

This getaway was absolutely perfect. Great view from the deck with spectacular fall colors. Very clean and inviting. We were just a couple but there was lots of room for a family. Would love to stay again.

Why they chose this property
We loved the potential! When we purchased the house, there were lots of renovations to be done, and lots of overgrowth, but the view was incredible. The close proximity of the hang gliding bluff, Covenant College, amazing hiking and mountain biking etc is a significant plus!
