This was the coziest place to stay! This grain soli has been turned into a luxury get away! It was super clean, the host was great, and the Mountain View was beautiful. It was an easy 20-30 minute drive to both Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain. We would definitely stay again!
We had a WONDERFUL stay at the Siloh. The hosts went above and beyond to communicate with us, everything was ready, and the property was easy to find and convenient to all activities we wanted to do. Not to mention we thoroughly got to enjoy the hot tub and fire pit and roasted smores. Highly recommend!
Our stay was amazing! The property was very perfect in every aspect! Owners were very nice and helpful when we had questions. We will definitely be booking again!
This place is amazing! Good view on a clean farm. The neatest silo setup! Very clean, decorated and well maintained. Everything we needed was provided from stocked kitchen, firewood, and even his and hers bathrobes. The hot tub is private, new and incredible. My wife really enjoyed the front porch swing as well for morning coffee.
