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.

Charming home

This house is very cute and charming. The property is beautiful and you are in walking distance to Guild trail-an easy path for any age. The home was comfy and cozy. The one thing I would say is it needed more seating in the family room. The pic shows 2 couches and a chair. There was only one small couch which left our family of 5 without a comfy seat when we settled in. I would definitely recommend this house to stay in for anyone coming to visit Chattanooga!

Wonderful home in a safe area

Impressed with how clean the house was. Stocked on many things you may need. I had to contact host with a few questions and he always responded quickly. Quiet and safe neighborhood. Just FYI, there is no closet outside of the bedrooms, nowhere to hang coats. Some people may want to bring night lights. Renter before us must have broken one side of the recliner couch, host did not know. Only concern of mine was the weak wifi security. Shower is great for tall people. Would definitely stay with this host again.

Cute house great location

House was very cute and suited our needs for 2 nights. We just needed a place to sleep and shower. We didn’t get to or need to utilize anything in the house since we were doing all the touristy things with my cousin that lives in Chatt during the one full day we were there. Beds were very comfortable, it was close to everything, and had all the essentials. I would recommend a picture and better description of the area in which you park. It’s an unpaved, open grassy, uneven sloped hill at the bottom of the property. You can squeeze two cars in it, but you do need to hike your luggage up some big concrete stairs to the house. Luckily my husband was there to haul the luggage because I have a shoulder injury and wouldn’t have been able to get our big luggage up there. Anyone with mobility issues wouldN’t fare so well. Also, there is a very large deposit they charge $1,500 up front and you don’t get it back for 2 weeks after you check out. I’ve stayed in multimillion dollar homes in many states and other countries and it seemed a little much for a small home, but that’s the owners call, so just keep that in mind. The kids loved the bunk beds. They are full size mattresses not twins, which is a bonus since our girls fight over who gets the top one. This way they both could sleep on the top bunk. The front porch is nice with tons of green lush landscape. We’d definitely stay here again.
