Notes
- Welcome to Gloria’s on Exchange, a cozy home-away-from-home located in a quiet historic neighborhood, just walking distance from Downtown Union City, Tennessee. The bones of this two-bedroom cottage date to 1910, but this little house has received a loving renovation. 1980s-vintage “Cargo” furniture and numerous custom-made, one of a kind wood pieces give it a rustic warmth, but this is a fully wired, completely modernized space, with smart technology, wi-fi, and “Ring” doorbell security. Each of the main rooms—two bedrooms and a large living area—include electric heaters with simulated fireplaces for warmth and ambiance. The master bedroom includes a comfortable queen bed while the other offers two twin beds. Each bedroom has a full bath (tubs include dual-headed showers), stocked with towels, hair dryers, bath amenities, and plenty of hooks. Throughout, Gloria’s wall art, almost all original photography, reflects the owners’ love of travel and devotion to America’s national parks.

Ask a questionAbout Julie Hill
David Coffey and Julie Hill are both professors and department chairs at the University of TN at Martin. In an effort to both protect their property and help their neighborhood, they have bought several vacant lots in downtown Union City. The property at 622 Exchange St. was rented for more than 20 years by our neighbor Gloria. The owner was aging and wanted to sell. We eventually ended up buying the property and fixing it up for a VRBO. We named it after our great neighbor Gloria.
Julie Hill purchased this house in 2017
Why Julie Hill chose Union City
Gloria's is not a large house, but quite charming and very "tricked" out with technology and more. It has Google Home and Chromecast with free high speed wifi. There is a great deck and grill space to hang outside and enjoy a beautiful meal together. Each room has an ambient fireplace and there is an assortment of oils to choose from in the diffuser in the living room.
What makes this house unique
David and I have a goal to visit all of America's National Parks and we just love to travel in general. We have tried to bring our guests a little taste of the variety in America's National Parks as we are always a bit astonished to see so few American residents in these glorious parks. We want to encourage our guests to see America's National Parks!
