Perfect place for young family

The perfect stay for our family of 5. Legos and games entertained our children, and the spacious kitchen was perfect for prepping meals. The coffee bar was an added bonus!

Excellent Stay

We had a great time staying here. It was so nice having a few kids toys and art supplies available. Coffee bar also came in handy on a daily basis. Short drive to downtown was very convenient for activities. Would stay here again.

Perfect for small families

This location was just as advertised. It had all the amenities for amour family of 4. We were comfortable, and spent most of our days and mealtimes in and around Chattanooga. The on-site toys were a bonus for the kids having not brought our own. Our pup loved the treats and felt welcome. We really like Chattanooga, it's a great place for kids and families, so we will definitely return to this spot.

Great location and family friendly home

I appreciated that the kitchen was fully equipped. My toddler enjoyed the toys. The coffee bar was super cute! Brian was very welcoming and had some good suggestions regarding family friendly activities. We enjoyed frothy monkey and bluegrass grill.One of the downsides for us was the lack of curtains or blinds. It didn’t make for great sleep for an infant and toddler. I would recommend taking sound machines as the road stayed busy most of the night and you could easily hear the passing vehicles. Overall, it was a great little property and we were impressed.

Awesome Place - One Big "BUT"

This is a wonderful place to stay. In fact, it is one of the nicest we have stayed in since I started this yearly tradition. Very cozy, very comfortable. Nice updated look to the interior... definitely a place where you feel like you can let your hair down and relax. And the setting is a big part of that. You are close enough (15 minutes to aquarium, about 20 minutes to Lookout Mtn. attractions) to the fun but far enough away from the traffic and the busy pace of the city to feel like you can unwind and get away from it all. I especially appreciated the very evident efforts the property owners had put in to make the property feel welcoming and well-equipped with luxury amenities. It really was a great place, and the property owners were super responsive and helpful. But... here's the one big "BUT". The property owners lived on-site. As in, in the same house. They have worked to make it feel like a separate space/area, but it's all under the same roof. This is something I did not realize before booking. And if I understand from the VRBO policy standards, I don't think it's something VRBO says they allow or support. Some people may not be concerned with this arrangement - how close the owners of the property are. For me - it was a little unnerving. I think it's my understanding the owners are working to finish a place that is next door. When and if that is completed, I wouldn't hesitate for a second to re-book this cozy and beautiful property.

Highly recommend! This property was welcoming and cozy with plenty of space for our whole family to spread out so everyone was comfortable. Dog friendly with a great yard. The kitchen is well-stocked. Quaint neighborhood that provided easy access to all our activities. They’ve also considered so many other amenities, like a picnic blanket that came in handy when we went to a concert at the park. The host (Brian) was super friendly, provided great recommendations, and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Would definitely stay here again!

Our family of 4 (plus pets!) truly enjoyed our time at this property. The home is beautiful, and in a charming little neighborhood. The host Brian was super friendly, and gave us great recommendations on activities and restaurants. We took full advantage of the fire pit (the hosts thoughtfully left S’more’s fixins for us). We loved the home’s open concept and were very comfortable when relaxing after a day of exploring Chattanooga. Would definitely stay here again!

Weekend getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at this charming home with plenty of space and in a great location! Our trip centered around one of our kids soccer tournaments, so we didn't get to enjoy the space as much as we'd hoped, but we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The hosts, Brian and Mona were incredible! I highly recommend this listing!

Brian went above and beyond to help us stay here as I originally had booked the wrong year!! He literally saved the day! Very comfy house with provided fire ring and marshmallow fixings. Front porch was also a nice hangout spot, but needed a scrub as lots of recent rain. Appreciated that this home was dog friendly too. Great location.

Best Vacation Rental

This was legitimately the best vacation rental I've ever been to! It was truly a home away from home. They had everything. I would definitely recommend it to anyone staying in Chattanooga. Brian was so helpful and so sweet, we took his recommendations and had the best time. I wish we could have stayed longer. I honestly could not say enough about this house and the hosts. 10/10 absolutely.

Spring Break

This was the first time staying in a VRBO and it was an awesome experience. Brian and Mona were great hosts and have set the bar high for future stays. They live on the property and were always available to answer questions and were willing to share information regarding the city. The property is exactly as it is in the listing. We would stay there again If we ever head that direction again. I would highly recommend this location.

Family stay

We stayed while we were looking at houses so we were barely there. Weird setup with property owners there. He came over to greet us and show us around the property which I thought was weird. Then it seemed like everytime we left it felt like we were being watched. Just a weird setup. It was a clean house but wouldn’t stay here again.
