Historic Renovated House, Kid-Friendly, Walkable Neighborhood

Welcome to walkable, middle-of-the-action Ridgedale!

We are properly zoned and permitted with the City of Chattanooga to operate as a Short-Term Rental - unlike most other listings in the city. It’s good karma to stay with us!

Relax in the neighborhood at our numerous parks and playgrounds, grab a beverage at a nearby cafe, visit animals at the zoo, or do some antique shopping at local favorites.

You will stay in an apartment at the rear of our house which has its own private entrance. Our house was built in the early 1900s and has lived many lives (once a boarding house, then halfway house, Make-A-Wish Foundation offices, and most recently a church!). We enjoyed renovating this house to both some old glory and new function. We lived here for almost three years. It has loads of period details and charm but comes with some drawbacks of an older home. The floors creak and the windows can be drafty. The house has central air conditioning and heat but shares a system with the other apartment. The living room has a window unit that can provide heat and AC. Please do not adjust the floor vents. Let us know if you need further adjustments to the air temperature, we can adjust it remotely.

Enjoy easy, off-street parking via the alley behind Willow House. There are two apartments within Willow House. Please be mindful of noise so as not to disturb guests in the other apartment during your stay.

Enjoy easy, off-street parking via the alley behind Willow House. Climb 3 steps to enter the rear stoop, where you'll find the guest door with a door lock keypad. Enter your unique code to enter into a large, fully-stocked kitchen.

Prepare delicious meals with the stainless steel appliances and ample counter space or enjoy takeout from multiple downtown options. The kitchen flows to the living space with cozy seating, desk space, and flat screen TV. Note that the only bathroom is on this level. Enjoy complimentary Public Goods shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion.

You will find two bedrooms upstairs after ~18 steps. To the right is a bedroom with queen bed and separate twin daybed. To the left is a single queen bedroom. Both rooms have large closets, windows with blinds and curtains, and window units that supply both air conditioning and heat. All mattresses are comfy memory foam and beds have Turkish fabric on the custom headboards.

The vestibule outside the bedrooms offers a full length mirror, extra linens, water carafe, and some often forgotten toiletry items. We aim to make your stay as comfortable as possible!

You will share the house with our family but have your own entrance and are welcome to enjoy as much privacy as you want. You do not have access to laundry in the basement but accommodations can be made for longer stays.

Willow House is 5 minutes from downtown and nearby I-24 and I-75. Off-street parking is available via the alley behind the house.
