About the host
Hosted by Beth
I grew up in a home where guests were always welcome, so my love for providing hospitality started at a young age. Being your host is fun and meaningful because I love providing a beautiful space where you can relax, make fun memories with those you love, and find rest for your heart, soul, and mind.
I started hosting our first rental as a fun side project, but soon discovered that we wanted to keep growing our business through building new homes that are specifically designed for our guests. We took 6 of our 8 North Ridge Escapes properties from empty lots to the beautiful furnished properties available today! It’s a new found love and form of art with a meaningful purpose.
My husband and I have been married for over 16 years and love living in Chattanooga. We are enjoying these short, sweet, and crazy years as parents of four tiny humans! We love our church, Calvary Chapel Northside, and enjoy family adventures outside as much as possible.
We are honored to have you as our guest and I'm happy to answer any questions you have!
Beth has been a Superhost since 2019! Superhosts are experienced, highly rated hosts who are committed to providing great stays for guests.
