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. 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!

Always happy to have JR , his wife, and pup! Everything is left clean and perfect.
See you next year!
The pictures do not do this cottage justice. Everything was super clean and cute as could be. We would definitely stay again or any other property by the same owner. Worth every penny. Tammy response was quick. The cottage was stocked with everything you could think of. She also provided coffee and some snacks that my husband enjoyed in the middle of the night. We feel blessed to have found this little gem.

Kristen is wecome back and was an excellent guest to host! Left the rental perfect. Thanks!
The host, Tammy, was so pleasant. The house is adorable: very modern. The bathroom is fabulous! The quiet street was perfect. I felt comfortable knowing the host lived on the street, and the location was perfect to easily get to downtown Chattanooga. It's very close to main street which has a lot of places to eat. The host even left is goodies as a chocolate snack on the kitchen counter. Thank you! We will dedicated stay here again!

Thanks, Jennifer! Glad to have you visit again, it was a pleasure to have you all stay.
Property was very clean. Great for our dogs with nice area to take them out. House isn't huge but big enough for couples or families with smaller children. Tammy (host) was nice to work with, did not ask for too much and very easy going.

Leanne was an smazing, friendly guest. So very happy to host. Glad to have visit any time. Thanks!
EVERYTHING stood out! We drove up to the cutest little “dollhouse” we’d ever seen with our host coming down the street to greet us. Tammy was so very welcoming and made us feel instantly comfortable. We travel a lot but I have never seen a more completely furnished Vrbo. We had brought coffee, creamer, etc…but we never had to unpack ours as Tammy had graciously provided a carousel of Keurig pods. There was also a conventional coffee pot to use (with coffee provided). I could go on and on, but bottom line is we will definitely be back and we’ll be recommending the Thatcher Mill House to other travelers. We loved it so much we extended our stay one more nite. Thanks again, Tammy, for a wonderful visit!

About the host
Hosted by Tammy Hass
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.
