Perfect Stay for a Large Family
The property was clean and tidy. The area was quiet, sat right outside of downtown. Easy to get shopping and entertainment. Property manager was easy to speak to and very helpful. Great family vacation!

A reason it was available last minute
Previous booking fell through so thankfully this one was available but was available for a reason. We are not picky people and often camp so take this review with a grain of salt. The neighborhood is not entirely safe (research East Ridge) and with the long, steep driveway it is very challenging to park close to the home. Our party had multiple issues with exiting the driveway. With any ice it would be impossible. We had a large group and looked forward to cooking evening meals together, but it was not a possibility as there was minimal pans or utensils for cooking, additionally the outdoor grill was neglected and we choose not to use it. Outdoor firepit was not inviting. Essential items were absent, toilet paper, bath towels, paper towels, laundry soap, dishwasher soap, and the outdoor trash was full when we arrived, overall the home just felt neglected. We did notify the property manager and heard back after two emails and the next day. The owners have over 300 properties they manage and it feels as though quantity is held in higher regard than quality. I would only recommend this property as a last minute option.

Short stay in Chatt
Cute place that for all of our needs. The house was clean and included a fire pit where we made s’mores. Plenty of clean towels and space to fit all twelve of us.
