Historic St. Elmo Home - Near Hiking & Downtown!

SUMMARY
Discover all that Chattanooga has to offer without sacrificing comfort or style while staying at this 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom vacation rental house at the foothills of Lookout Mountain. This home comfortably sleeps 6 guests. Located just 10 minutes away from all of the attractions in downtown Chattanooga, you can plan to take a short walk to historic St. Elmo or access the Guild Trail to view the Tennessee River as you hike past Ruby Falls!

THE PROPERTY
Bedroom 1: Queen Bed | Bedroom 2: Full-over-Full Bunk Bed

Built in 1914, this historic home is ready to set the tone for a truly charming southern getaway. You're sure to enjoy the lush canopy of trees that surround the furnished porch as soon as you walk up the stairs to the charming home!

Beautiful flooring welcome you inside the home, and lead you to the bright living space that features with a comfy couch and a flat-screen Smart TV equipped with Roku and Hulu Live

Around the corner from the original decorative brick fireplace is the fully equipped kitchen. Prepare for the next day's excursion as you pack a snack for your hike to Ruby Falls along the Guild Trail!

Enjoy your home-cooked meals at home around the dining table with seating for 4, or cozy up at the breakfast bar with seating for 2.

The master bedroom features a queen-sized bed, while the second bedroom offers a comfortable full-over-full bunk bed.

THE LOCATION
You couldn't ask for a better location in Chattanooga - this home is nestled at the base of Lookout Mountain right along the Guild Trail with connection to the RiverWalk. So don't hesitate to go outside and explore the terrain that includes Mystery Falls, Ruby Falls, and the Tennessee River!

If you're in Chattanooga for the IronMan event, make this property your new home base! This lovely home sits near the raceway - perfect for both athletes and supportive spectators.

Experience a more urban landscape with a 10-minute drive into downtown. Tour the campus of The University of Tennessee, visit the Creative Discovery Museum, or cheer on the Chattanooga Mocs at Finley Stadium.

Indulge in traditional southern cooking at one of the restaurants in historic St. Elmo - a short 10-minute walk from this home. Savor the flavors of seasoned scallops at 1885 Grill or share a tangy BBQ sandwich at The Purple Daisy Picnic Cafe.

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!

Great location for us, clean and accommodating. There wasn’t an additional couch as pictured in the photos which would have been nice with our family of 6. It was a tight fit but served our purpose and budget. The door was a bit tricky at time to get in but we were informed by the host that it was. Overall, we would return and had a great trip visiting Chattanooga.

Great home close to a trailhead, downtown St. Elmo and Lookout Mountain. The home was comfortable and extremely clean. All essentials and a few extras were provided. All items were neatly organized and displayed and made us feel well cared for. We enjoyed walking a few feet to the Guild Trail trailhead, hiking to/under one of The Incline trestles (cool photo opp), and on to Ruby Falls. Downtown St. Elmo has nice restaurants and Lookout Mountain was fun to explore. The owner was quick to answer a question that we had. I highly recommend this property.

Nice

Nice, but small. the parking is awful not made for bigger vehicles. There is a slop to get into the house with lots of stairs. Part of the sidewalk is over growing making it hard to walk. Inside is nice, only one TV in the front from and its very small. Bathrooms are small as well. Over all it's a nice place clean and quite.

Cozy cabin in a great location

This cabin was perfect for my daughter and me to have a fun Christmas weekend in St. Elmo. It’s close to the Guild trail which we utilized for walking and running. We attended the St. Elmo Christmas luminary walk and festival which was so fun. The cabin was very comfortable and clean!
