As you can see from the pictures on the website, the house is very stylish. It is also quite comfortable and well located for access to what Chattanooga has to offer. I would highly recommend it to anyone headed to East TN.

What a *cool* place to stay! Our family of four enjoyed everything about this property. It was clean, well stocked, and very accurately described. It was close to everything we wanted to do and even had a park right up the street for our youngest to butn some energy. We will definitely be staying again.

This was just what we needed. My husband, I and our 11 year old stayed here over our spring break. Great location and convenient to both Lookout Mountain attractions as well as downtown. It was a nice, relaxing visit in a very cool property. When we had a challenge checking in, the property management attendants were responsive and helpful.

Beautiful place fun and hip

Loved staying here! The place was hip and the bed was very comfortable the only thing that was a small issue was how long it took to heat the place but once it got up there it worked better. The water was great and we really liked everything about it! Would stay here again!

Stayed here over a quick 2 nights, and the property couldn't have been any better. Perfectly equipped, quirky, and extremely comfortable! Very high quality in every way. Nice, historic, quiet neighborhood and I'd stay here again alone or with my husband!
