This unique lodging pays homage to Chattanooga's history as one of the world's most famous railroad hubs. Enjoy 20ft ceilings, a compact kitchen, and an outdoor living room with a private hot tub. As the name suggests The Depot is located approximately 100ft from active train tracks, so light sleepers beware.

Chattanooga is a city known for its railroads. There are active train tracks that border the property and I-24 is about half a mile away. Please note that light sleepers may be affected by the ambient city and train noise. Each cabin has been equipped with a white noise machine to help minimize any disturbance.

Loved the stay
Loved the property. Easy check in. Very clean. Only recommendation would be an extra mirror somewhere for getting ready as there is only one in the bathroom it makes it hard for someone to get ready while someone else is showering. Other than that we loved the stay overall

The Depot
Very comfortable accommodations, lovely setting. This place is really only suitable for two. We enjoyed the area very much, the hot tub was clean and the bed was comfy. Appreciated the couple of things in the cabin when we arrived, coffee filters, coffee, shampoo, hand soap etc. We had difficulty getting the A/C to work but it was cool enough that it wasn't an issue, couldn't get the ceiling fans to work either. Could be user error but we were fine. Not kidding about the noise from the trains so definitely take that seriously if you are annoyed by noise like that. My only disappointment was no fire pit for our particular place, they do have community fire pits so we did that a couple of times but it would be preferred by us anyway to have one next to the cabin.

Great place to stay.
Great location. Management made it very easy for us. Very close to train tracks but did not bother us. Great place to stay if visiting Ruby Falls and Lookout Mountain.

Short get away
The Depot is a fantastic spot for couples. Beautiful house in a very great location a short drive to downtown or ruby falls. The train noise is the only downside. The owners were thoughtful enough to supply with ear plugs and a sound machine, which definitely helped. Overall we would definitely return.
