Everything from the decor, amenities & the charm of their outdoor gardens & handmade woodland animals far exceeded our expectations. The bed was super comfortable as well & we want pillows just like theirs! Everything we needed was included; coffee & creamer, sweet treats, plenty of towels, toiletries, cooking utensils, even a "White Noise Machine" (thank you for that, by the way). The location was also perfect; close to the main highway as well as the most popular Chattanooga attractions. We would highly recommend Steve & Charman as hosts and we will definitely stay there again when we travel to Chattanooga. ##### Catherine D. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda H. 4 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Incredible Location, Wonderful Hosts I stayed in the Sherfey Suite for a long weekend. The location was wonderful, and the hosts were incredibly kind. I forgot to text or call when I got close as they had requested, but check-in was still very quick and easy. I felt this was going above and beyond of the hosts when I had completely forgotten their instructions.I was given a tour of the space with everything pointed out, and there was an amazing listing of places to visit in the neighborhood. I was lucky because that weekend there was a corgi parade within walking distance. Other attractions are a very short drive - I went to Ruby Falls, and I liked it so much I went to another cave attraction the next day.The space itself was immaculate, the TV was easy to use even for an old luddite like myself, and it was very quiet at night even with other guests upstairs. The check-out process was very easy, and the instructions were easy to understand. The check-out is also quite late, which is very nice if you want to sleep in. The grounds are also beautiful, and you might just see Bigfoot. . Be nice to him, he's shy.All in all a wonderful stay, can't recommend enough. ##### Amanda H. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Shanna B., Georgia 10 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great for couples' getaway The Sherfey Suite is perfect for a couple looking to enjoy downtown Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain! It's located near several restaurants and a quick drive to both downtown and mountain activities. We were greeted very kindly by Mr. Sherfey but had plenty of privacy after introductions. The apartment had everything we needed and lovely extras. Just a heads up that if someone is staying in the apartment above the Sherfey Suite, you will hear EVERY single step they take. Thankfully our upstairs neighbors kept decent hours. Definitely recommend for a couples' getaway. 4.5/5 ##### Shanna B. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James W., Knoxville TN 21 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing location The rental was very clean. The owner introduced himself at check in and showed us into the rental. He gave a little history about himself and about the rental. The unit is perfect for a couple. Bed was firm and comfortable. All linens are high quality and freshly cleaned. Walking distance to the incline. 1885 is a MUST place to eat. Neighborhood was quite and seemed very safe. Owner is on site but is definitely not a bother at all. Unit is thoughtfully stocked with soaps, shampoos, towels as well as various coffees, tea, and snacks. Definitely highly recommend. This was just a weekend getaway for us, but I wouldn’t have any problems staying a week or longer. ##### James W.
