The grounds were colorfully decorated with many areas to stop, take a seat and enjoy your surroundings. Best part was their location, five to ten minutes to everywhere you want to go! The aquarium, art district, ruby fall, point park just to name a few. If you’re visiting the area the Bear House is the perfect place to stay. ##### Cheryl V. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy M. 19 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a picture perfect stay at the Bear House in the Whelan wing. We found it well stocked with amenities, an easy drive to local attractions and downtown, in a quiet neighborhood, and complete with comfortable beds, plus very clean. It checked every box I could think of. We particularly enjoyed the porch and multiple outdoor seating options. It felt homey and was much more than just a place to sleep, a lot of care has gone into this place and it shows. We even walked down to a local ice cream place, Clumpies (highly recommend). It is less than 10 minutes to Rock City, Ruby Falls, and downtown. I think a few other guests stayed in the carriage house and basement apartment but we almost never saw them and had no noise issues. I wouldnt look for anywhere else to stay if I return to Chattanooga. And we were able to check in as late as 9 pm which was a life saver since we were driving in from out of state and hit Atlanta rush hour traffic. I cant say enough good things about our stay! ##### Amy M.

The rooms were clean and nicely decorated. The beds and linens were comfortable. The beds are high, so if you have a little one, consider bringing bumpers—ours slept on a toddler bed that we brought because she is not sleeping in a bed at home yet. The water pressure and temperature worked great in the shower and tub. Our favorite part was the gardens on the property which were beautiful and peaceful. Our toddler loved visiting all of the little (and big!) statutes. The owners of the property, Steve and Sharman, were very nice and friendly. The neighborhood is in a convenient, safe, and quiet location. In addition to being walking distance to restaurants and the Incline Railway, it is in close driving proximity to Lookout Mountain and Ruby Falls. It was also a short drive to St Elmo Park, a neighborhood park with a fun and well-maintained playground for kids and toddlers. We would recommend this property to friends and family!
