This is probably the cleanest place we have ever stayed. The location is great, just a short drive to everything Chattanooga has to offer. There is a Food City right down the road along with some restaurants, ice cream and the Incline Railway. We would absolutely stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay at this cute property. It is conveniently located a short drive from St. Elmo. My brother worked at the house during the day and he said it was a comfortable place to work.  The house was very clean. I didn’t cook much, but the kitchen is well stocked for anyone who plans to cook.  The owner communicated details about the property clearly.
