About this property
The Redbud - A PMI Scenic City Vacation Rental
Amazing Location! The Redbud is a single level bungalow located within walking distance to the heart of St Elmo in Chattanooga. Professionally designed decor adds a comfortable feel to this completely updated historic home. At the base of Lookout Mtn, the Redbud is a short 5 minute walk to some great local eateries and The Incline Railway that will take you up the mountain to Point Park where you can experience majestic views and some of the history of Chattanooga. The Redbud has all the comforts you expect of a hotel but with the privacy of your own place. The front porch deck is perfect for enjoying a hot cup of coffee or tea before exploring the area. This property is perfect for singles, couples, families and business travelers. The Redbud is also only 5 minutes drive to Rock City and Ruby Falls.
PLEASE NOTE: Although we are DOG friendly, we do NOT allow cats. For dogs, we charge pet rent of $25/per night per pup.
