This property was absolutely fantastic! Nestled right at the base of Lookout Mountain, the location couldn’t be better — close to everything yet peaceful and scenic. The home itself was spotless, cozy, and had all the comforts we needed.The property manager’s communication was top-notch — friendly, responsive, and made us feel completely at home. We visited for fall break and to tour Covenant College with two of our soon-to-graduate kids, and this place made our trip even more special.We’ll definitely be back to stay again — it’s the perfect home base for exploring Lookout Mountain and Chattanooga!

Great location and a nice home. Bedrooms have blinds even though they weren't pictured! Living room has a sofa and a love seat which, for 4 adults and 3 children, made it a little tight to seat all of us comfortably. Large dining room table was perfect.

Cute place and great location

House is adorable! Everything is you want to do while here is within 10 mins of the house. House is large and easily sleeps 7! Could sleep a few more kids if you have a larger family than 2 adults and 3 kids. Definitely recommend. Will stay here again. Back yard is a huge bonus.

Perfect for our family!

We really enjoyed this quick trip to Chattanooga with our mother in law and 3 kids. This home was perfect for us. The kids loved the bunk room and fought over the top bunk, LOL! The location in St. Elmo was a beautiful setting at the base of Lookout mountain. We will definitely stay here if visiting in the future

Excellent Property in St Elmo

We loved this property in the St Elmo neighborhood of Chattanooga. It's a super cute community and had really easy access to downtown and some the main attractions like Ruby Falls on lookout mountain.The house itself is really nicely laid out with plenty of space for relaxing and eating. My kids really liked the three tier bunk bed and I really liked how strudily it was built! Highly recommend for your next visit to Chatt!

Great Location!

This location was the perfect pick for my small family of three. The neighborhood was very quiet and close to many restaurants and also to popular attractions like Ruby Falls. The only thing I’d have to say is the mattresses on the beds were not all that comfortable but it does not take away the five star review. We’d love to come back in the near future to stay again!

St Elmo's Yellow Door

We were a group of two grandparents, two parents and a 2 1/2 year old. The house was charming and light filled. The neighborhood very walkable with park nearby for children. The Hot Chocolatier, several blocks further is worth visiting. An easy drive to many attractions and restaurants. We would consider staying there again.

About the host

Hosted by Sherry and Francesco

Host profile image
My husband and I have been involved with the resurgence of our neighborhood over the past 15 years and are now eager to share it with new people. We love VRBO and are excited about creating new spaces to show off our neighborhood. We enjoy working with local artists and creating spaces for them to flourish, this is our passion. We have two rambunctious and adventurous children that keep us on our toes and feeling young!

Why they chose this property

Enjoy the neighborhood park, the abundant hiking trails that lead to waterfalls and majestic Tennessee views. St Elmo is teaming with locally owned and operated businesses. Our own neighborhood pub, Moccasin Bend Brewing Company, where you can meet the locals or take home a growler (you can also bring your dogs). Visit Mojo Burrito, delicious food in a hip environment, 1885 Restaurant for a more upscale dining experience, don't miss out on their incredible fresh water trout blackened or grilled, or St. Elmo's own Purple Daisy and dine on a BBQ sandwich. St. Elmo Deli will provide you with the perfect lunch on the run. Don't forget Mr.T's Pizza and hand scooped ice cream that has been in the neighborhood for over 20 years!!!! The choices are endless!

What makes this property unique

We can point you in the direction of almost anything that you would like to enjoy in Chattanooga. See seven states from Rock City, visit the nation's largest and deepest underground waterfall at Ruby Falls, take a short ride on the Incline Railway to ascend and descend Lookout Mt, where you have access to amazing views from the top of Lookout Mountain from Point Park, or visit Sunset Rock. We are a mere 5 miles from downtown Chattanooga. Enjoy the river front at Ross's landing on the banks of the Tennessee River, visit the Tennessee Aquarium, and walk right down Broad St and enjoy a Moon Pie! How would you like to see the Hunter Museum or take a walk across the nation's longest pedestrian bridge to Coolidge park in North Chattanooga? There are many locally owned businesses and also some familiar favorites. The list is endless!! (That's just getting to see Chattanooga as a tourist!)
