We were there for a wedding, the house was fantastic!! The owners provided everything from toys for the children to play with, chairs for sitting outside, and comfortable beds for all. We will stay at this property again if the need arises and the property is available.

Fantastic

I recommend this place if your looking for peace & quiet. We were 20 mins from everything we wanted to do. Neighbors were super friendly & if you go on the 4th the community comes together & puts on the greatest firework show! If we go back for a visit we would nore than likely go back here. Owners kept our garbage can empty so that was extremely helpful & kind. Kids had a pack & play to sleep, they really enjoyed the playground, the toys & plenty of family games. We are not disappointed!

Mountain retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house fit our family of 5 perfectly. The drive down the mountain was not too bad. You must take the time to drive the dirty stone road to see Snoopers Rock.

Relaxing stay close to town

This was a nice, relaxing place to stay close enough to town to not be a long drive, but away from the hustle and bustle. Everything we needed was provided. Our younger kids enjoyed the toys and games. Communication with the host was good. Definitely recommend it for families. We had a good weekend!

Relaxing Family Getaway

We enjoyed a lovely long weekend at The Kitty George House. It was all that we hoped for and more. The home was well kept and very comfortable. It had a cozy den and nice living room. The beds were very inviting and comfortable. The kitchen has a good layout with a deck adjoining. A convenient laundry room as well. The outdoor space was wonderful with seating and a play yard area for kids of many ages including toddler. We even got a visit from a very friendly neighborhood dog who brought his own ball for playtime fun. We would definitely visit again! Bring groceries and plan to arrive before dark, we did and were glad. It's worth the curvy drive! We found it in good proximity to all that we wanted to do in Chattanooga. It's a great retreat! Sharon is a marvelous Host! Thanks for everything, Sharon.

A Restful Stay

It was so quiet and peaceful here. We had a large yard for the boys to play in and there are many beautiful hiking trails nearby. The house was spotless; I couldn’t find a speck of dust anywhere. We were provided with dish soap and laundry detergent, which was helpful since we had arrived by airplane. The linens are luxuriously soft. There were Christmas decorations up also, which added a nice festive touch to our cozy cottage. The hostess is truly gracious and responsive. This was our first time in Signal Mountain, but it felt like home. We will certainly recommend this place others if they come this way.

Great experience for first rental!

Family and I decided to do a house rental instead of a hotel for the first time ever. We could not have been more impressed. Very quick communication at all times, very clean and maintained house and property. Great selection of houseware. We really felt like we were home( deer in front yard and in a semi secluded area and everything). The girls absolutely loved the kids charades game. The money we saved by being able to cook our own meals cut hour vacation expense in half. Again, thank you for the awesome experience, and we will look forward to booking with you on our next mountain trip.

Cozy, Responsive, and Overall great stay

Our host was very responsive and when our trip was delayed due to Hurricane Helene, our host was understanding and let us shorten our stay, which was very kind. Great space for a family with infants, with toys, cribs, and space aplenty. We had a great time staying here. Thank you for such comfortable stay!

Perfect weekend

We have stayed in seceral Vrbo homes and this has been my favorite. We absolutely loved staying here. It was perfect for our family. Home is clean and decorated for the fall season. Loved having some games. Uno was a life saver during the band competition breaks. We are looking to return for spring break, since we were here for band competition and didnt get to enjoy the city much. Sharon is fast to respond and nice to work with. We can't wait to come back!

Summer trip

The location was very nice a beautiful piece of property. The house needed a deep cleaning. When we opened the blinds in the master bedroom the dust was very thick. All the fans were caked with dust. There was a mildew smell through out the house. We ended up bringing the mildew smell home with us. It was on all our clothing and bags. We didn’t contact the owner because we didn’t feel it could be cleaned in a short period of time.

See Rock City

Great trip to see just some of the sights in the Chattanooga area. We saw Rock City, the aquarium and the zoo during our stay. It was a nice touch to have a fire at night and the s’mores left out by our host.

Great for kids!

We enjoyed our stay so much! The house was super clean and well stocked. Sharon thought of literally everything we could need. There were toys for the kids to play with, and they really enjoyed the play set and big yard. I am pretty terrified of driving on mountain roads but the road to the house wasn’t bad at all. It only took us 20-25 minutes to get to each attraction we went to in Chattanooga. The only tiny downside I can think of is that the shower in the master bath was very small. But this didn’t bother us, and we actually loved the house and had plenty of room for 8 people.

About the host

Hosted by Sharon Carlton

Host profile image
I have lived on top of Suck Creek Mountain my entire life. I love the peacefulness of our wonderful community.

Why they chose this property

The Kitty George House is my homeplace! Taking care of the house, keeping all things in working order, brings a sense of well-being in knowing that my mom and dad's house is providing other families a place to stay and make great memories!

What makes this property unique

One of the best things about the property is the yard! There is nothing like the playground especially in the spring, summer and fall. When it is hot, it seems there is always a breeze in the shade that covers the playground. One guest told me she thought the playground was "magical" because her children wanted to stay outside all day to play! The house is also a great place - big enough for people to have their own space, but also cozy!
The location is also wonderful! I have always enjoyed the fact of being so close to Chattanooga and all that it offers and yet live in a rural place! We see rabbits, squirrels, deer, turkeys and all kinds of birds. You can see the stars at night, and during the summer the fireflies ( lighting bugs) lighting up the yard and fields! It is a great place!
