About this property

Blue Ivy: Cottage w/Modern Charm, 1 Mile to Ruby Falls

Come and Relax at this Cozy and Beautiful Blue Ivy Cottage! It’s close to everything you want, nature, downtown Chattanooga, Ruby Falls, Cloudland Canyon and scenic views. Only 10 min to town! This bright modern cottage is nestled among trees on gorgeous Lookout Mountain with views of the downtown city lights from the deck. Its beautiful design will invite you to want to come back for every special occasion. Come bring your sweetheart to Blue Ivy, it's perfect.

It's about ten minutes from downtown Chattanooga which provides the best of both worlds. Enjoy this quiet wooded retreat where nature streams inside through picture windows and a variety of plush indoor plants. The cottage property backs up to a 3000 acre National Military Park, and it is within walking distance to some of the best hiking trails in the southeast. This home provides a perfect getaway for couples or small families.

This mid century modern charmer is in a dreamy setting and would be especially nice for a couples getaway. It would provide the perfect place to rest after outdoor adventures on the breathtaking mountain or to enjoy the thriving Chattanooga downtown scene. From the front door you walk into a light, open living space with a sofa bed, TV and attached kitchen and eating area. There is an electric fireplace in the living room that provides extra coziness. The lovely bedroom has a lush king bed (an air mattress is also available), wardrobe and attached bathroom. There is a deck off of the kitchen, and fire pit area. You will find a Blue Ivy house manual on the coffee table with helpful information and plenty of local tips of things to see and do during your stay on Lookout Mountain.


There are two parking spaces located next to the road and a lit path to guide you to this home.

This home is located in a quiet neighborhood mountain road with spacious properties and lots of privacy provided by the wooded surroundings and lovely mossy boulders. The property backs up to acres of forest with lots of nearby hiking possibilities.

This is an incredibly convenient location for both outdoor enthusiasts and those that want to enjoy what the city has to offer. There are some local attraction brochures provided.

As a former Tennessee resident of 40 years, I miss the mountains. Found this place by accident and so happy that we were able to stay, It reminded me of growing up where everyone waved and most people knew each other, this was one of the most tranquil experience I’ve had in many years. I loved sitting out on the back porch and watching the sun rise over Chattanooga. (Keep in mind it’s a mountain side house so it was obstructed by the trees some but was able to get some great photos!) The house is an older house and the owners have done extensive remodeling to upgrade and update giving it an amazing homely feel but not overly modernizing it. My gf is a huge animal lover so was hoping she could see some deer but unfortunately she only was able to see a few squirrels. Was apx 8 minutes drive to Publix or Point park, 2 minutes to Ruby Falls and about 18 minutes to Aquarium at the time we went to those places! We have already added to our “places to stay” book and will certainly be returning! Thank you to Katie, I do believe one of the top 3 most responsive host I have ever dealt with. Kudos to you Katie, wonderful job and thank you for the quick response on booking our extra night on short notice! Looking forward to the next time!
