About this property
Kathy's Kottage. Bungalow on the side of Missionary Ridge, Furry Friends Welcome
This house build in 2017, one story,has all the amenities! There is a 2 dog limit and a pet fee. My insurance will not allow pit bulls, chows, Rottweilers or dobermans, or any of these mixed breeds. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms with granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. It has a laundry room. The hall bath has a tub/shower combo. Tile floors throughout. A romantic fireplace is in the living room. Smoking is allowed on the huge front porch, where you can relax and let your worries float away! Behind the house there is a fire pit, too. The Battle of Missionary Ridge was fought on these grounds. I have found bullets, cannon balls, and shot while digging in the flower beds. I live across the street and the garden is located behind the "eyeball" wall. It is on old 3 tiered garden with 2 ponds. Sit on the bench and listen to the Mermaid fountain splash as the goldfish swim leisurely about. The birds will help you leave your troubles behind or swing and just remember times gone by. You will enjoy fabulous views of downtown and watch the sunset behind Lookout Mountain. There is a 2 dog limit with a FENCED IN BACK YARD. There are 2 other short term rentals on the same block, Gray Gables and Ridgedale Roost, if you need multiple houses for big events. Come and see the flowering bulbs in the spring! I can not offer a military discount.

The house is well-stocked, comfortable, and exceptionally clean! It was no more than a 15 minute drive to everything we wanted to see or do. I would definitely stay here again.
The house was very clean and well stocked. The kids loved all the toys and board games. The back yard was a little small but it was enough room for both of our large dogs to go out and exercise.
Excellent location to where we were going.Pet friendly always a plusRented another property on same street so we could have a space for other family members, but close enough to each other to be together.Great communication with hostess.
Great rental in a good location. Everything was clean and ready for us when we got there and the communication with the host made checking in and out a breeze. Super close to downtown and close but not too close to the freeway which made getting out of the city super quick.
The home appeared newly renovated and was very well done. It was perfect for our needs, clean, well appointed, and was very close to all of the activities we wanted to do while there. Communication was excellent and was very clear and timely. We hope to get back to Chattanooga and will definitely look to stay again.
This is without a doubt the best home we have stayed in. It was very clean and well stocked with everything you could imagine, as if someone lived there. Very comfortable beds. The perfect place for dogs and children. Lots of games and toys. Tammy lives across the street and is always around since she owns other rentals on the street. Very convenient location. I hope to stay in her one bedroom home when I come to visit my granddaughter who will be attending UTC. It will be a great place for families coming to graduation and needing lots of room. I just can’t say enough good things about it.
Loving home. Nice area for dog and owner was near by and reachable for all needs. You can find everything you needed in this home. Games for kids, playground and nice yard. Me and my family will only be looking to stay at this location for every visit to Chattanooga.
It is a pretty spacious home, conveniently located near all the places we wanted to visit. There was plenty of room for all six of us to roam through the house freely. There was a discrepancy with price….the VRBO site says no hidden fees, but then added them to the cost once we booked. We went ahead and kept the booking because of the proximity to everything. Host has a playground for the kiddos and a nice garden to view, as well as several books to read and games to play.
The property had everything we needed and was in a spot that was convenient for what we wanted to do. House was clean, many amenities, would absolutely recommend!
We didn't get to enjoy the gardens due to inclement weather, but play area and Garden area looked amazing. Very clean, excellent amenities, Tammy was a great hostess!
Great location, close to all the attractions. Clean house, lovely and plentiful amenities. Will stay here again

Property was amazing! The place was clean, comfortable and had everything needed and more. Check in/Out was simple and the Owner was very nice. 6 of us stayed for 4 days and couldn’t have been happier. When in the area again we will definitely be staying here.
Very convenient and beautiful home. Had everything we look for in a mountain trip, from fire place indoor and outdoor fire pit, easy access, washer/dryer/dishwasher/grill.
Super close to everything. Quiet street. Plus the toys left for our kids was a major bonus! Perfect spot for a quick getaway. Beautiful home and great place to stay again.
We traveled with a party of 8 and a small dog, and the house was perfect! Had everything needed and even had board games! Perfect communication with owner, check in and out process was a breeze!! I would definitely rent again!
This was a wonderful location for our stay. We were within ten minutes of our wedding venue and close to all downtown attractions. The property was very clean and comfortable.
