Thatcher's Mill House On The Ridge and Four Legged Friendly!
Thatcher's Mill House was built in 1919 for the mill workers 3 blocks down that worked at Standard-Coosa Thatcher Mill. There is a one dog limit, with a pet fee. The yard is only 2/3 fenced, the right side was too steep to fence. My insurance will not allow Pit bulls, Rottweilers, Chows, or Dobermans. No mixes with these 3 breeds. It was a shotgun house that started with knob and tube electricity and no plumbing. Behind the house is a lot that all the local women would to get their water from a spring located there, no longer there due to the interstate and the demolition of many of the Missionary Ridge Houses. Remodeled and now like new this is a little gem that invites guests to enjoy what Chattanooga offers. Two mile to downtown Chattanooga. I live across the street and behind my house is an old maintained 3 tiered garden with wonderful views of the city. The sunsets are awesome with a goldfish pond and a Mermaid fountain. Sit with a glass of wine and enjoy the sound of the birds singing and the water splashing. Let your worries melt away. The Battle of Missionary Ridge was fought on this very ground. There have been bullets and shot found on the property. Come and converse with the ghosts....just kidding. Please do not ask for a late check out. I respect that my cleaners have lives other than just cleaning my rentals. Feel free to stay another day. Parking is on the street. Thank you!

A very charming little house!! Perfect for a couple with or without small children. VERY clean and well stocked to cook meals. I loved the front porch where I spent my mornings having tea and evenings having dinner! I hope to get back to Chattanooga again and will definitely stay there again!!! I was sad to leave….

Thank you! The cleaner was impressed too! Hope to meet you next time you stay, was out of town.
This property exceeded my expectations. It was a real treat to get to meet Tammy; who lives across the street. Be sure to meet her and tour the garden in her backyard. The property was very cozy and perfect for what we we’re looking for.

Thanks for staying, hope you pop in again some time!
The rental was left emaculate.
Bad news, a raccoon got the guineas last night.😭
Better than any hotel extended stay with a new kitchen that is fully functional for meal preparation. Beautifully decorated. New bathroom, and laundry facilities made this home away from home. Totally dog friendly, too!

Loved having the Kelly's and Rex stay! Exceptional in every way. Thanks!!
Adorable little house! Well decorated and very comfortable. We would have liked it to be walking distance to downtown Chattanooga. The location was not the best; run down area. The neighborhood is trying to work their way up, but not there yet. The host was great, came over and introduced herself as soon as we arrived.

Kristen is wecome back and was an excellent guest to host! Left the rental perfect. Thanks!
I grew up in Philadelphia, Tn on a small horse farm. I moved to Chattanooga to go to college and have stayed here since. Like kudzu my roots go 6 feet under.
Why they chose this property
We are located on the lower side of Missionary Ridge. The battle of Missionary Ridge was fought here on Nov. 26, 1863. The Confederates camped in the very spot where this house was built in 1919. There is not anywheelchair access . We are pet friendly and are working on getting Fenced IN YARD. It is a 1 bedroom, 1 bathrooms, living room, dining room with a washer and dryer in the kitchen. Comfy furniture and soft bed for your sleeping pleasure. I furnish toiletries and Little Debbies for breakfast. Downtown Chattanooga is only 2 miles away. Across the street we have Shuffleboard, Horse Shoes, Picnic table with a grill and a Bocce Court. The garden on the next tear up was on the Hamilton County Master Gardener's Show in 2013. Walk through the garden, enjoy the views of Chattanooga, and sit down by the Mermaid Fountain with goldfish, and let your worries disappear. There is a 1 dog limit.
What makes this property unique
The city of Chattanooga is experiencing rapid redevelopment, economic growth, and what some call "gentrification". This means that if you stay in the city, you are likely to be on a street with a wide variety of properties, ranging from very good condition, to fair, to vacant. In addition, there is great racial, cultural, and economic diversity with city residents. I live across the street and love it here, but it may not be for everyone. I want all guests to consider this prior to booking, so no unfavorable review result.
