Charming and comfortable

The location for Lookout Mountain was the best. We also enjoyed neighborhood walks and the hike/bike trail right out front. The house was perfect. It was well equipped, the beds were comfortable and we were especially thankful for excellent AC since we were there during a heatwave. We loved Ruby Falls and Rock City which were both fun escapes from the heat as well.

We loved this little house! It was a reasonable distance from everything we wanted to do. I like that it was on a one way street with a walking lane. Loved the industrial decorations! I could see that the hosts had an appreciation for art and artists. It was clean and stocked well! My kids loved having the park that was about a 3 minute walk away. Our little dog Charlie very much enjoyed his stay too! If you are in the area, I recommend Rock City, The Tennessee Valley Railroad and spending a day exploring downtown Chattanooga with no itinerary. I was trying to add photos but they wont add so sorry about that.

Great cottage and perfect area!

This cottage was perfect for our family of four. It was very close to St. Elmo and all the attractions in Chattanooga and Lookout mountain. We had the best spring break getaway! Kitchen was fully stocked and loved having the washer and dryer so we didn’t go home with dirty clothes!

Cute and Quiet

Enjoyed our stay. St Elmo is our kind of vibe, lots of people jogging and walking and biking and close to lots of things. Cooked a whole meal here with no problems. The front porch swing was my favorite part. Really well-cleaned interior. Queen bed is soft as other reviews mentioned - not uncomfortable or lumpy just squishy soft - so if you really need a firm mattress you won’t sleep well here.

Great for a Small Family of 4!

We enjoyed our stay at this cute, clean, charming house. The kids loved the bunk beds & games. The kid plates/cups/bowls were a huge plus! Location was super convenient to all the things in Chattanooga. Neighborhood was nice & quiet, felt safe the entire trip. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you!

Cozy Historic House Near Town

We enjoyed our stay at the Blue Bungalow mainly for it nearness to the Incline Railroad, Ruby Falls, and Rock City. They are all just a short drive away. The playground that is a few blocks away is fantastic if you have kids. The house is historic, which means the floors may squeak depending on where you walk in the house, but this adds to the charm. The bunk bed was thoroughly enjoyed by our kids. The complimentary coffee and tea were much appreciated:)

Simple, yet perfect!

We loved our stay at your cozy home. I wish our stay was longer, but the home was perfect for our needs! It had everything we needed and then some! I loved the historic neighborhood and proximity to everything. Thank you for your suggestions for local eats! We enjoyed pizza for lunch at Mr. T's and dinner at Mojo Burrito. Both were family friendly and delicious! Thank you for your calls and texts to make sure we arrived safely and if we needed anything. It was much appreciated!

Adorable House & Close to Everything!

The Blue Bungalow was the perfect place for our family (2 kids 5 and under). It was impeccably clean, the house was super charming, and the neighborhood was very safe and walkable. We LOVED walking to the playground with the kids. The house is on a street with a huge bike path and you see people walking/biking along the path throughout the day. Location is extremely convenient -- only 10 minutes to Rock City and Ruby Falls, only a couple minutes to the Incline Railway and cute downtown St. Elmo area, and only 10-15 minutes to downtown. The beds were super soft and comfortable which is so helpful when traveling. The house was cute but also had plenty of space for the four of us. I enjoyed sitting on the front porch swing in the evenings and seeing the lights of the houses on Lookout Mtn. Truly the perfect place to stay with everything you need, down to the local brand bar of soap in the bathroom. Loved the local experience!

Ideal location with warm and friendly owners!

We really enjoyed our stay in St. Elmo. The owners have done a great job with the renovations of this home in this historic area of Chattanooga. It's located on a quiet, one-way street with friendly neighbors. It was a surprise for our daughter to notice some of the local artwork in the home was painted by a fellow art student. We really appreciate the fact that they are supporting others in the area as they refurbish some of the homes (the owner showed us one of their other homes listed which also gives you a feel for his quality workmanship and vision to update older homes in the area). It was well furnished with great internet connection. The location is very close to downtown and the wonderful riverwalk area that is being extended to Lookout Mountain. We thoroughly enjoyed our interaction with the owners and look forward to our next stay in one of their homes. We left feeling like we had made new friends in our brief stay. The one regret we had was that the weather was too cool to enjoy the front porch swing and the deck area. Without hesitation I would highly recommend both the location and whatever home these owners have available for your next visit to Chattanooga. Many thanks to the owners for a nice place to stay!

We felt very safe in the St. Elmo area and it was easy to get around. This house was pet-friendly, which was important for our senior Yorkie. Since I love a cool house, I was extremely pleased with the AC! We met a few neighbors who were very friendly. Communication with the owner/agent was great!

About the host

Hosted by Sherry and Francesco

Host profile image
My husband and I have been involved with the resurgence of our neighborhood over the past 15 years and are now eager to share it with new people. We love VRBO and are excited about creating new spaces to show off our neighborhood. We enjoy working with local artists and creating spaces for them to flourish, this is our passion. We have two rambunctious and adventurous children that keep us on our toes and feeling young!

Why they chose this property

Enjoy the neighborhood park, the abundant hiking trails that lead to waterfalls and majestic Tennessee views. St Elmo is teaming with locally owned and operated businesses. Our own neighborhood pub, Moccasin Bend Brewing Company, where you can meet the locals or take home a growler (you can also bring your dogs). Visit Mojo Burrito, delicious food in a hip environment, 1885 Restaurant for a more upscale dining experience, don't miss out on their incredible fresh water trout blackened or grilled, or St. Elmo's own Purple Daisy and dine on a BBQ sandwich. St. Elmo Deli will provide you with the perfect lunch on the run. Don't forget Mr.T's Pizza and hand scooped ice cream that has been in the neighborhood for over 20 years!!!! The choices are endless!

What makes this property unique

We can point you in the direction of almost anything that you would like to enjoy in Chattanooga. See seven states from Rock City, visit the nation's largest and deepest underground waterfall at Ruby Falls, take a short ride on the Incline Railway to ascend and descend Lookout Mt, where you have access to amazing views from the top of Lookout Mountain from Point Park, or visit Sunset Rock. We are a mere 5 miles from downtown Chattanooga. Enjoy the river front at Ross's landing on the banks of the Tennessee River, visit the Tennessee Aquarium, and walk right down Broad St and enjoy a Moon Pie! How would you like to see the Hunter Museum or take a walk across the nation's longest pedestrian bridge to Coolidge park in North Chattanooga? There are many locally owned businesses and also some familiar favorites. The list is endless!! (That's just getting to see Chattanooga as a tourist!)
