Two room, "upstairs" suite in Flintstone, GA which is a quiet, rural community located at the foot of Lookout Mountain and only a beautiful drive 10 miles from downtown Chattanooga; riverfront; TN Aquarium; Coolidge Park; lots of great restaurants, and many other outdoor sights & activities. Our place is a private upstairs unit, that is accessed through the main house (back door) but only a short distance to the stairs.

We provide water, juice, oatmeal and coffee for breakfast. There's a microwave, mini fridge, coffee maker, ice bucket, plates, silverware and even a corkscrew.

There's also LOTS of live music venues.

About the host
Hosted by Yvonne Terney
Travelers since 2015 but hosts since September 2017, Yvonne and her husband Jim enjoy life, family, friends and meeting new people. We enjoy diversity and cultural experiences of all kinds. Learning about other cultures has always been important to us. This is expressed in our love of traveling to London, Paris, Spain, Kenya, Haiti, Jamaica, Japan & Sri Lanka.
But closer to home, we are blessed with three grown children, two daughters-in-law, a son-in-law and "currently" eight, make that nine now beautiful grandchildren !!! We are the happiest when we are hosting family gatherings around a meal; whether in the dining room, an outdoor yard party or hot dogs and s'mores around the campfire.
Throughout our many years, we have both work in service oriented jobs because we enjoy taking care of and providing help to others. Most of all we are blessed with sharing life together for 40 years ........ and we still love one another immensely.

Why they chose this property
Our home is located in rural Flintstone but only 10 miles from Chattanooga, TN. We can sit on the back-porch while listening to the crickets and cows. We are located away from the hustle and bustle of town but only a 15 minutes drive to many great restaurants, outdoor sports & events, and many wedding & music venues.
Our home is an old farm house built in 1922 with a very comfortable and homey feeling and we want to share with others. We enjoying meeting people and especially want to enhance their vacation/stay by making The Roost comfortable and clean. But because it was built in 1922, the steps to the unit are steep.

What makes this property unique
Our home/apt. is on an acre of property, which is plenty of room for our grandchildren to enjoy. With it being an old farm house, it's not perfect but it's our home. We're not afraid of roller skates on our wood floors, mud pies on the walkway or chalk art on the driveway. We enjoy art work and the beauty of creation with many plants (in the summer :) as expressed with our sculptures and in our walkway. We also have a beautiful view of Lookout Mountain.
