Historic Restoration, Central location, Pet & Family Friendly, No Pet Fee!

Welcome to Willow House in walkable, middle-of-the-action Ridgedale!

Looking for adventure? You'll find a myriad of hikes, climbing, water sports, and historic sites within a short drive! Forgot something? Walk to nearby Walgreens and Dollar General to grab essentials.

Enjoy easy, off-street parking via the alley behind Willow House. Climb 3 steps to enter through the guest door via smart keypad into a large, fully-stocked kitchen. Prepare delicious meals with the brand new, stainless steel appliances and ample counter space or enjoy takeout from multiple downtown options. The kitchen flows to the living space with cozy seating, desk space, and flat screen TV. Note that the only bathroom is on this level. Enjoy complimentary shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion.

You will find two bedrooms upstairs after ~18 steps. To the right is a bedroom with queen bed and separate twin daybed. To the left is a single queen bedroom. Both rooms have large closets, windows with blinds and curtains, and window units that supply both air conditioning and heat. All mattresses are comfy memory foam and beds have Turkish fabric on the custom headboards.

The vestibule outside the bedrooms offers a full length mirror, extra linens, water carafe, and some often forgotten toiletry items. We aim to make your stay as comfortable as possible!

You will stay in an apartment at the rear of our house which has its own private entrance. You do not have access to laundry in the basement but accommodations can be made for longer stays.

Willow House is 5 minutes from downtown and nearby I-24 and I-75. Off-street parking is available via the alley behind the house.

Pleasant and very clean.

Property his located close to downtown. Plenty of room for us. My wife and I met our son and his two boys in Chattanooga for a couple days. Large kitchen and two bedrooms. We are use to having everything on one floor, as most properties where we are from are single story. The two bedrooms were upstairs and bathroom was on first floor. Not a big deal until getting up in the middle of the night. LOL Those of us who are older will understand. Over all it worked out great.

Great Value

This was a great place to stay on a budget. It had intentional touches and the hosts do a great job of anticipating guest needs at this property. The check-in, check-out process were both very easy and we experienced great communication throughout the process. The listing doesn't mention that the space is shared with the hosts (at least that I could tell) and the property has a recommendation for quiet hours because the hosts and their children are sleeping on the other side of the wall. I'm sure we kept them awake at least one night with how rowdy our kids were on check-in night. It is definitely pet-friendly, but it was also pretty evident that animals had been present as there was still a good bit of dog hair and some of the linens/towels still smelled like dogs as well. All very minor issues that did not affect the overall pleasant and convenient experience on a budget. Would definitely revisit and recommend!

Just what we needed

I somehow missed that this was a duplex but everything was fine. I was worried we would make too much noise but seems everything went ok. Spacious and clean it’s everything we needed. Cool old property. Owners were easy to work with, communicated well, and offer some amazing add ons like going to get groceries for you. I wish the property had more than one bathroom but again it worked for us during our stay. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks.

Great Chattanooga Getaway

We couldn't have found a more convenient property and nicer hosts to allow us to explore all that Chattanooga has to offer! The accommodations were excellent; from extra towels and goodies for the pups to cold water and glasses by the bedroom waiting for us when we arrived and checked in. The hosts were very responsive to our questions and checked in on us frequently during our stay to ensure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed to make the most of our trip! We definitely will be visiting this lovely city again soon!

Exceptional Stay at Willow House - Highly Recommended!

Staying at Kurt and Melissa's Vrbo was an absolute delight! Their place was immaculately clean, extremely comfortable, and they were always available and helpful whenever I had questions. The location in Highland Park brought back wonderful memories of when I used to live there. It’s the ideal spot, perfectly situated between downtown, the mountains, and other attractions, while still offering a peaceful retreat away from the city's hustle and bustle. I will definitely be returning to the Willow House. Their pet-friendly approach, with dog blankets, poop bags, and treats, was fantastic. Additionally, the provided coffee and other amenities were thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home and worry-free. Kurt and Melissa genuinely care about their guests’ experience. Their stylish decor and accommodating nature made our stay memorable. I can't thank them enough for their exceptional hospitality.

Loved our stay!! adorable house, great location. We made lots of great memories. Had a little trouble with it being too hot but communicated with the host and they explained they’re figuring it out and we totally get it. We loved being so close to everything. The intersection is pretty loud, but the upstairs AC does a good job of hiding it. I’d absolutely stay here again!!

Great Place to Stay In Chattanooga!

My husband and I were celebrating our 42nd Anniversary and our friends told us about their trip to Chattanooga and it sounded like a fun short trip to take from Lebanon, TN. We wanted our two small dogs with us, as one is 15 and has some health issues. The Willow Place took dogs and was centrally located to all the sites we were planning to see like Ruby Falls, Rock City and The TN Railway. We could also come back soon after and be with the dogs. It was about 10-15 minutes to attractions and also went for a hike in a park about 10 minutes away. Ate at two great restaurants, the Boathouse and Public House. Our hosts answered us very quickly and were great. I did not know they lived in the front until I read the instructions. It got a little warm because it was 100 degrees outside, but when I asked the host to make it cooler it did cool off quickly. The air upstairs are window air conditioners but worked well. The beds were comfortable. I got a cut on my ankle and the first aid kit was good to have! The only thing I missed was a drip coffee maker. I don’t like Krupa or pods. We got coffee out. I would stay again and bring my coffee pot if we stayed longer. We were only here two nights. I loved how close it was to main attractions and I could have my dogs.

Willow Wow

My group consisted of my 71 year old husband, two of our grandsons aged 9 and 6 and me, a 63 year old go for the gusto woman. Upon arrival we were pleased to find our temporary home welcoming and comfortable. Our stay was for 4 nights and 5 days with activities planned morning, noon and night for each day. We found our home to be centrally located with easy access to the sights we planned on visiting. Melissa and Kurt were excellent hosts and replied back quickly when a question was asked. We had the opportunity to meet them in person while we sat outside at the picnic table and enjoyed a lovely breeze and a sweet break in our schedule. The beds were perfect for resting or reading with both bedrooms having thermostats for heat and air. My grandsons loved sharing a room. The closets are huge! We love Chattanooga and now have a VRBO that we have found and hope to come back to stay again soon. South Willow Street address is marked on my Google Map as a favorite place and saved because of the WOW.
