We had a wonderful stay at this cute property. It is conveniently located a short drive from St. Elmo. My brother worked at the house during the day and he said it was a comfortable place to work.  The house was very clean. I didn’t cook much, but the kitchen is well stocked for anyone who plans to cook.  The owner communicated details about the property clearly.

This is probably the cleanest place we have ever stayed. The location is great, just a short drive to everything Chattanooga has to offer. There is a Food City right down the road along with some restaurants, ice cream and the Incline Railway. We would absolutely stay here again!

We very much enjoyed our stay here! The house was adorable and the location was amazing! We comfortably fit a family of four. The house had all the amenities we needed, including some games and puzzles we did as a family at night after very full days around town. It was so easy to get downtown or to the mountain. There is even a hiking/ biking trail right across the street that we took advantage of. We had an amazing time! Definitely worth a stay here in St Elmo!

We loved our stay in this cozy and clean rental house. It was just enough space for my husband, mother, 3 year old daughter, and myself. The location is on a quiet street just a few minutes from Rock City and down the road from the cute St. Elmo restaurants, shops, and Lookout Mountain Incline. Would highly recommend!

We enjoyed our 4 night stay in this historic home, situated on the lower part of Lookout Mountain. The home was clean and would have slept four adults comfortably. The bunk beds are fulls, and fine for one adult each. The location was excellent - five minutes or so drive to continue up Lookout Mountain to places like Ruby Falls or Rock City (which were both fun if touristy), a one minute walk to the trailhead that goes right to Ruby Falls, and a 12-15 minute drive to downtown by the river. The only reason that I give the property a 4 rather than a 5 was the kitchen - it needs some attention. Knobs on the cabinets would have been easier to clean and more sanitary. Some of the pots and pans are worn beyond their useful life and the kitchen was missing some items that would have been helpful (like a large pot for noodles). We were able to make due with what was there, but we only had three people. The front porch is a lovely place for a cup of tea. We appreciated that this property included some of the little extras that are so helpful - salt and pepper, coffee, and some spices. Be careful when you back out of the driveway - it's quite a drop on the other side of the road!

Great location for us, clean and accommodating. There wasn’t an additional couch as pictured in the photos which would have been nice with our family of 6. It was a tight fit but served our purpose and budget. The door was a bit tricky at time to get in but we were informed by the host that it was. Overall, we would return and had a great trip visiting Chattanooga.

Great home close to a trailhead, downtown St. Elmo and Lookout Mountain. The home was comfortable and extremely clean. All essentials and a few extras were provided. All items were neatly organized and displayed and made us feel well cared for. We enjoyed walking a few feet to the Guild Trail trailhead, hiking to/under one of The Incline trestles (cool photo opp), and on to Ruby Falls. Downtown St. Elmo has nice restaurants and Lookout Mountain was fun to explore. The owner was quick to answer a question that we had. I highly recommend this property.
