This was the perfect location, very clean (cleaner than many places I've stayed that don't allow pets), easy access to Lookout Mountain and downtown. I would definitely stay here again if it's available.

We appreciate your kind review and our efforts to keep our home clean and tidy for our guests!
Great stay outside of a small problem with the original room I booked ( lack of housekeeping) but it was resolved immediately by the management. Overall the house was great would definitely recommend this property.

Thank you for your kind review! We are glad you enjoyed your stay!
Such a great stay here. The location was great and it was clean and quiet. The park across the road was perfect to take the dogs out for their walks! We'd definitely stay here again when coming to Chattanooga!

It's such a pleasure to host kind guests like you!
Location was great. The bed was very comfortable. We stayed a few days after iron man weekend and their cleaning company made the mistake of missing our Vrbo, so the home had not being clean when we first arrived, but the host immediately fixed it by having us stay at their other location that was available during the entirety of our stay.
The property was clean, cool temp and in a great location. They allow dogs also which was huge for me. I had such a great weekend for my girlfriend’s birthday. Would absolutely stay here again!
Everything exceeded our expectations! Our 12 year old daughter loved the park across the street. Super clean, comfortable and had everything we needed! We will be back!

What a kind review! We are so glad you enjoyed our home so much!
The home was clean, well equipped and central for visiting family in St Elmo, Lookout Mountain and Flintstone. The park across the street was perfect for walking our dog. Beds are comfortable and the blackout curtains are amazing.

Lorana, we are so glad you were able to rest well at our home! Thank you for your kind review!
The pictures did not do the house justice. It is much nicer than the photos and very comfortable. I love the St. Elmo area and we were close to all our favorite things to do. We brought our doodle, Yoshi and were thankful that dogs are allowed here. Comfortable beds, great shower and kitchen facilities - definitely recommend!

We hope all of our guests are pleased with the cleanliness of our home. We appreciate you leaving a review!
Lot of traffic by the house. It’s along a main road The tub seemed like it had a weak floor while taking a shower. Not good water pressure. It’s a nice clean place to stay with a very nice neighbor

We appreciate you taking time to write a review. We actually replaced the tub and flooring when we remolded the bathroom two years ago. The tub was considered as one of the most popular models at the time of purchase. We consider the water pressure standard, but since it's hard water we will check out the shower head to make sure there isn't any buildup.
Property was as described. Duplex neighbors didn’t give us any trouble. Park across the street is awesome. A little deferred maintenance but nothing major. Would stay again.
This house is cute and cozy. It is on a busy street, BUT... If you go out the backdoor and turn left, you can see a long and beautiful walking/biking path and it's quiet and beautiful. House was set up with all amenities and is within walking distance to restaurants too.
The place was great. Had an air conditioning problem and the last night we stayed the alarm went off twice and had no air. Got hot but the other part of the stay was great.
If I come back that way again I will remember St Elmo.
Great location and very relaxing

We are glad you found our home relaxing! We are not sure what happened to the air the last night of your stay and are sorry it was uncomfortable for your final night, but our AC guy said it was working fine the next morning after you checked out. We went ahead and replaced the smoke alarm batteries as well.
Good size house. Confidently located to Lookout Mountain and downtown Chattanooga. The light switches and lamps in the living room were tricky to get to work. Also the parking situation was tough because the driveway can be slippery when it is raining since you can’t park near the front door. The park across the street is great for kids and to walk a dog. Some good restaurants and coffee shops down the road.
We loved this house! It is very cute and cozy! Great location with a park directly across the street. Adorable, quiet neighborhood with some great restaurants and the Incline Railway just a few miles down the road! We enjoyed our stay!

We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay! Thanks for the kind review!
Two bedroom suite with two large smart TV with YouTube access not far from the incline train
Relatively quiet other the street is a major thoroughfare so it could be noisy if you're ultra-sensitive which my partner is.there aren't really any businesses or restaurants which are walkable from the location but it seems to be a nice community

We are glad you enjoyed the smart TVs! We hope your partner tried out our sound machines for the occasional traffic noise. As for the walkability, our home is exactly 1 mile to nearby restaurants with sidewalks availble the entire length.
