Everything was amazing! Everything was clean, the furniture was extremely comfortable and cozy, all the amenities were very useful and functional. It was in the perfect spot, nice and secluded and yet the perfect distance from all the attractions we wanted to see. We enjoyed our stay even more than we thought we would and if we were to come back to Tennessee, this place would be our first pick!

Rachel’s Place is a unique cottage, with everything you could need. We happened to occupy the cottage directly during the terrible national storm. Since no one was registered to stay immediately after us, we extended our stay by one day to allow the road conditions to improve somewhat. It took eleven hours to return home, but we made it without incident. We absolutely loved Rachel’s place and hope to return sometime. The owners do a good job of anticipating the needs of their guests, since there was nothing at all lacking in what we needed, even during the difficult, frigid storm. We highly recommend Rachel’s Place.

So sad I could only spend one night here! The most adorable set up - it feels like staying at your grandparent’s house. Very spacious despite the size and a really nice kitchen. The hosts were so sweet getting everything prepared for us as well. Would 100% stay again! :)

Comfortable and charming

This is an ideal place for a couple, or small family with one or two children, looking for a comfortable, yet charming place to stay on Signal Mountain. Very convenient location and the owners were extremely kind, accommodating and quick to handle and fix a minor issue that arose. We highly recommend it!!

Welcoming with sufficient accommodations. The bread was amazing and a nice touch upon arrival. It was a little confusing trying to find the place as it was nearly dark. Driving directions were very helpful, I would just add that the house is located just before the church instead of just south of the church for those of us that are directionally challenged.

About the host

Hosted by Jerry Market, Debi Market

Host profile image
My wife and I moved to Signal Mtn, Tn in 2002. My wife recently retired. We have two daughters, Sara and Jenny. Both our daughters are married. Sara is married and lives in Chattanooga area with three children. Jenny is married with one child and lives in Brooklyn, NY. Rachel's Place is a cottage that I completely gutted and remodeled for my mother when she moved in with us. However her dementia has accelerated to such a degree that she cannot live by herself. So she moved in with us and we made the cottage into a vacation rental. Debi loves to decorate inside and out. I love to work with my hands building things, taking something that has no value and making it into something. I love to read, Debi loves yard sales.
I know while traveling sometimes you don't feel like neighboring, so we will stay out of your way unless you have a question or in need of something.
