The Redbud - A PMI Scenic City Vacation Rental

Amazing Location! The Redbud is a single level bungalow located within walking distance to the heart of St Elmo in Chattanooga. Professionally designed decor adds a comfortable feel to this completely updated historic home. At the base of Lookout Mtn, the Redbud is a short 5 minute walk to some great local eateries and The Incline Railway that will take you up the mountain to Point Park where you can experience majestic views and some of the history of Chattanooga. The Redbud has all the comforts you expect of a hotel but with the privacy of your own place. The front porch deck is perfect for enjoying a hot cup of coffee or tea before exploring the area. This property is perfect for singles, couples, families and business travelers. The Redbud is also only 5 minutes drive to Rock City and Ruby Falls.

Excellent Home & Location

We loved our stay at Redbud. The St Elmo neighborhood is wonderful and a great location to all we wanted to see and do while in Chattanooga. The home was very clean and they had put a lot of thought into all the details to make it a great stay. The property manager was very communicative and easy to get in touch with. We were pleasantly surprised with how comfortable the bed was and felt safe with our daughters in this location. We will definitely return!

Springbreak

The property is well maintained, clean and well stocked. I was impressed with the quality of the appliances, overall cleanliness and the beautiful property. The property is close to attractions and dining. There is a walking corridor directly behind the property that is convenient for exercise and dog walking. There were two issues that do need to be addressed. Our vehicle was vandalized on the last night of our stay, passenger window was busted out. I would recommend that you do NOT park in the back yard by the walking corridor. And do NOT leave any weapons or valuables in the vehicle. After we discovered the vehicle had been vandalized we also found that the window locks on two of the front windows were broken thus having left us vulnerable to break ins. Local law enforcement responded quickly to our call/text regarding the vehicle vandalism as did the manager/owner.

This was a very convenient location. We enjoyed Rock City all adorned with Fall colors our first evening and exploring Chattanooga other days. Walkable to little St. Elmo area with a lot of cafes, ice cream and food options. The house was very well suited for the 5 of us with ample space to enjoy meals, cook and just hang out together. Enjoyed coffee on the front porch. Really nice primary bedroom and spa like bathroom.

Great Stay

Our stay in this house was great. We had 3 adults and 3 kids under six years old. The two older kids slept easily on the trundle bed while our youngest slept in a pack in play in a cracked closet in the master bedroom. The house was really clean and stocked with everything we needed. Check in and out was also very easy. The location is perfect as it is a very short drive to downtown Chattanooga and right at the base of Lookout Mountain. It’s also very close to St Elmo’s where you can get ice cream, restaurants, or grocery store. Would definitely stay at again and recommend to others.

Great spot for our long weekend in Chattanooga

We were referred to this house by family members who have stayed here multiple times, so we knew in advance it was going to be perfect for my wife and I, our daughter and son-in-law, and our son. Could not have asked for a better accommodations.

Short getaway

The home was as advertised. Very well stocked, better than average furnishings and condition, and a great St Elmo location right next to all that Lookout Mountain offered. Our trip was a rain-soaked one but the house was great. Super responsive host too.

Sweet house in a great location.

This house was beautifully decorated and comfortable for our family of 4 adults and 2 kids. Located very close to the base of the incline railway. A greenway right behind the house made walking to restaurants and grocery store easy. One small drawback is that the bedrooms are small. The living area was roomy and well equipped. We all thought the house was a winner!

I was up for a softball tournament. House was just twelve min from the fields and a ten minute drive to downtown. It was also right at the base of the mountain. House was very nice and clean. Very comfortable beds and furniture. I would certainly stay again.

Excelled in every way

Location is ideal! Situated in a neighborhood at the base of Lookout Mountain and highly convenient to everything--Rocky City, Ruby Falls, Incline Railway and fantastic restaurants. We really appreciated access to the walking trail from the backyard and walked to dinner & Clumpies Ice Cream. Drive to Downtown Chatanooga, was less than 10 minutes to even more amazing restaurants--we loved Mellow Mushroom & The Feed Co. Cleanliness was 10 out of 10! Beds were very comfortable and linens high quality. Communication with the property manager was timely, cordial, and very helpful. Thanks for a relaxing week. We hope to return again next year.

Fantastic Stay

Ian was very communicative and helpful? The house was awesome! Very well designed, decorated and clean. The neighborhood was safe and charming. We went on nice walks and jogs on the pedestrian trail behind the house. Chatanooga itself was great with many activities. We will be returning for another stay.
