This was the perfect place for our mountain family Christmas. Great location between the city of Chattanooga and the quaint town of Dunlap. We were adventuring everyday, but came back each night to the festive house that had been decorated for the holidays. Weather was cool, and we enjoyed evening fires in the outdoor pit. The house had everything we needed, and Tanna checked in to make sure we were comfortable. She is an excellent host and we would certainly stay here again! Thank you, Tanna!

Higher ground was the perfect well appointed space for our visit to Chattanooga. The privacy and outdoor space made for intimate and relaxing downtime. The host was quick to respond and communicated as needed without being disruptive. We appreciated the cleanliness and little extras that made it feel like home.

Amazing experience

We stayed up on the mountain and it was an amazing experience. It was a little little more time and effort to get down into the city just cause you’re on the top of a mountain, but the quiet atmosphere is totally worth it.

Great place to stay to just relax or see area attractions

We went to Ruby Falls and Rock City Gardens both about 30 minutes away and hiking at North Chickamauga Creek Gorge Trailhead just a mile or two down the mountain from the house. It was a pleasure to come back to a clean, comfortable and welcoming place after a day of activity. The lawn is expansive and the sitting area was a relaxing place to hang outside.
