The hot tub did lose power a couple of times and there were a few instances where it got really soapy all of a sudden. Our first night in, a small mouse made in an appearance running across barstools in the dining room area. The same night, a cockroach also ran from the kitchen into the dining room. There was enough beds for everyone as listed but almost everyone did not like the beds. One of the windows in the living room had cardboard on it. The windows in the kitchen and in the dining room did not have blinds or curtains so mid day got unnecessarily bright when the sun was out.

Charming & Fun!

Our stay was a business leadership team retreat. The house was very comfortable for our group of 10. We could all gather around the kitchen table to work and really enjoyed the outdoor space for down time. Kitchen was well-stocked so we could easily prepare all of our meals without going out. We loved the charm of an older home that has been well-maintained with nice decor. We also loved that there were so many things to do - relax in the pool/spa, putting green, games, ping pong table, and much more.

Post Graduation Getaway

We took our young adult sons and their girlfriends here for a post-grad/birthday celebration, and everyone had a wonderful time. The house is great, especially the kitchen and deck with games, swim spa, fire pit and super comfy seating. Lots to do, and conveniently close to the highway—a quick drive to downtown Chattanooga. Would definitely return to this property in the future.

We loved our stay. The house was big enough to accommodate 9 adults and one kid. We loved that the kitchen, living room and porch had enough room for all of us. We spent a majority of our time on the porch enjoying the beautiful weather. My kid loved the hot tub and yard games. I would definitely stay again. The house was very nice.

Thank you for staying at our home! It is unfortunate that you felt as though we miss led you. The swim spa (as listed) is classified as a pool and a hot tub because you can exercise or enjoy it with your family hot or cold. Photos clearly show exactly what it is, and I would suggest in the future if it is confusing to reach out to the host and make sure you know what you are getting into.

Great house and close to all of what Chattanooga offers

The house was amazing! The place is huge and exactly as it is shown in the pictures! It was a perfect getaway for our group of friends and we enjoyed the deck and all the amenities it had to offer. With a chefs kitchen set up to entertain and tons of seating we never felt cramped. Plus only a $7 Uber to downtown we will definitely be back!!! Thanks Brittany and Jeremy

Perfect location for family get together.

The house was bigger than expected, spacious, clean and we had no complaints. The deck is huge and plenty of room to accommodate a huge group of people. I would definitely recommend this house for any large gathering to just relax and have a blast. Both the upper and lower decks were perfect for the ladies to sun bath in privacy, while us guys had more than enough room to have to games of corn hole going at the same time. Highly recommended spot

Quick & Convenient Getaway

We had a small family reunion at this little oasis. The home is adorable. Great touches and ambiance. The back deck is fantastic. Its huge! A swim spa to die for, a fire pit, grill, dining area, sunning area and games. The home sits on a hillside above a busy road so expect some motor traffic during the day. It does subside a bit at night. Its a very industrial neighborhood so venturing requires driving. That is no big deal because dtn Chattanooga is minutes away. We had everything we wanted and needed so we didn't leave the property the whole time we were there. Its a very relaxing environment. Hosts were very accommodating and flexible. I will definitely return to this little oasis.

lots of room

PROS - close to downtown, plenty of cook wear, upstairs stayed temp comfortable with box fan at vent. loved the fenced in yard with gate. Plenty of paper products. CONS- propane tanks were empty for grill,and fire pit tables ( got those on day 3). Microwave was dirty, uncomfortable furniture in living room. Picture showed 4 or 5 tanning loungers-there was ONLY one there. Lawn care was poor.Gate doesn't close completely -we tied it with a rope.Were told there would be bath soap etc -a very small bar down stairs -none upstairs.No conditioner.

We are sorry your stay was not to the upmost satisfaction. We do wish you would have reached out to us on any of these issues as we were unaware of the gate which appeared to have been damaged by high winds. The other issues could have been easily addressed if we were aware the house was not stocked for your extended stay.

Huge disappointment

First of all,this home is in a run-down ghetto part of the city.Worst of all, it is located right on a very busy street so vehicle noise is constant.Also,this home is probably 100 years old with several original features including windows and doors.These provide little sound deadening for the noisy neighborhood.We found the overall house to be dirty. All soft surfaces such as the couches,comforters & dining room chairs are visibly stained.The back deck is in rough condition with a lot of uneven surfaces and splintering wood. There is a "security " gate that is a pain to operate and never completely closes, so it provides little to no security. We watched the mowing crew push a lawn mower through the "closed" gate. Several light fixtures in the home are dirty with blown bulbs.We enjoyed our visits to the aquarium,the Incline,and Ruby falls.The area has a lot to offer,but I wouldn't stay at this property again even if it was free.Out of the 6 nights we paid, we only stayed 3 nights.The loud traffic, loud car stereos, and general noise drove us to forfeit our prepaid stay and find somewhere nicer to spend the remainder of our vacation.The owner offered no apologies for the condition of the home.When I brought the maintenance and cleanliness issues to their attention,I was surprised when they stated they stay often themselves.Of the 40+ homes I have rented in my adult life,this one is by far the worst.Owner does not recognize that the home is not up to VRBO standards.

Response from VrboOwner on 9 Aug, 2024
We are very disappointed by your review of our property. We uphold our home to the highest of standards in our design, layout, and cleanliness. This is why we have an 4.8⭐️ rating at our home. We understand that you thought this property was in the “mountains” but we never indicated that in our listing and we pride ourselves on being as accurate with the listing as possible. We are on the outskirts of an industrial building 5-7 minutes from downtown chattanooga not in a cabin in the mountains. The website is quite clear on location before you booked and we feel you booked this house mistakenly for another home. Our homes are double checked for cleanliness before checkin with photos and the home was not dirty. The home has also been fully gutted and renovated and the original windows are timeless. We had issues with availability of yard service before your checkin with the heavy rains and tried to coordinate our lawn maintenance with you leaving the gate open. We wish you the best and hope you verify each property before booking.

Beautiful view but overall disappointed

Have used VRBO for 7 yrs & always had stellar experiences & never left anything but a 5 star rating so this pains me.However, I rely heavily on other reviews so I am doing this so others know what to expect.I will start with what was good & right. View off back deck is beautiful.Deck/fitness pool area is great. Fire pit & chairs were gorgeous.Really enjoyed large connect 4 game out there. Ping pong table & xl Jenga game were a hit.There was several things in house that were stocked. I asked for earlier check in & they did their best to work that out. Upstairs update is really nice. Now for the downfalls... neighborhood is badly rundown and trashy. An hr after arriving had to msg owner to let her know that back door was broken. Cleaning was subpar. fridge had about 10 or so used items in it. Not sure if it was from previous guest but all open & used. Could have been left out of courtesy but esp during a pandemic, I feel that should have been cleared out & disposed of. Upstairs shower had some open used bottles of shampoo as well as a few new travel sz ones. This shower also had a used bar of soap, that is again not something I'm comfortable with. Mid week we had a heavy downpour & noticed sunroom roof was leaking onto ping pong table & wooden floor. We dryed everything up & grabbed pans to sit under each of the leaks. Owner did ask if I wanted them to come out but we really didn't want to have them out working on the property while we were there. We didn't feel comfortable using lights in that room since there was water leaking around light fixture so she suggested flipping breaker. We were only able to use sunroom & ping pong table during daylight hrs due to no lights.Thurs I sent another msg as pool was turning green due to chlorine floater being out of tablets but never got a response. Around 2pm that day, we kept hearing a beeping noise every 2 to 3 mins. Kept thinking maybe a smoke alarm needed batteries but couldn't figure out where beeping was coming from. Didn't want to msg again since I hadn't gotten response about pool.We spent several more hrs taking every detector down to pull batteries, no avail & CK thermostats for low batteries.was getting late & we knew we couldn't sleep with that going on. Had to msg again & owner said it had been a long day at work & gave us husband's number, he had to come unlock basement door, was a detector beeping down there. Overall just not the VRBO experience we are used to. Definitely disappointing.

We are very sorry you did not enjoy your experience at our VRBO! We pride ourselves on making a home where we would want to stay and we are very displeased with the things you found. We wish you would of told us the cleaning was subpar b/c we would of been happy to get a different cleaner there to make sure all was well or send concession due to lack of cleanliness. We did not realize the game room/balcony was leaking or that would of been addressed along with the door which was fine the day before we left. We do appreciate you staying with us and hope you find yourself well next VRBO you visit
