We had a wonderful stay. The house is very spacious, clean, and comfortable—perfect for our large group with people of all ages. The location is also very convenient, making it easy to explore places like Cloudland Canyon, Chattanooga, and nearby hiking trails.

Thanks so much for the kind words. I’m glad the space was comfortable for your group and that the location worked well for exploring. Hope to host you again.
At arrival we were met by a HVAC technician claiming to be checking the system to verify it’s working properly. Which wasn’t a big deal just more surprised. But after getting settled in the house was dirty, after watching the cleaning even leave. There mold on the ceilings and in the bathrooms. We also saw multiple roaches throughout the house! Very limited towels for bathing and not any for the pool or hot tub. Very disappointing for the amount we paid and miles we drove.
The house was beautiful but when we arrived we found several things in end stand drawers, and underbeds.The back porch was also quite dirty when we arrived and there was a dirty dish in the sink. Other than all of that we had a very enjoyable stay!
Here for family vacation. Accommodations were as described.

Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
There were a lot of bugs and wasps. The kitchen and bathroom had hundreds of ladybugs and I must have killed at least a dozen wasps inside the house.There were spiderwebs in every window, the fireplace, and every porch. There were no extra blankets, towels, or other linens. The pool table has broken bumpers and no usable chalk. The ping pong table was cracked and no usable balls. There were no deadbolts on any of the doors which felt unsafe at night. The shower got cold after only a few minutes. There were only 5 bedrooms, not the advertised 6. A bunk bed in a family room does not count as a bedroom as it is not private.A 4pm checkin feels a bit late and a 10 am checkout feels a bit early. Maybe just add one hour to each. A 3pm checkin and 11 am checkout seem more reasonable to me.

Family trip
The positive is that if you need a large house close to all attractions this house meets that requirement. We were disappointed that the hot tub was broken on our weekend trip. The area is a little run down but no one bothered usand you are on a hill out of the way.

Hello Penny, thank you for your kind review and for sharing your positive experience! We look forward to the opportunity to host you again in the future.
This is the second year my family has spent Christmas in this house. The place is well kept and spacious enough for all my kids and grandkids. The house has a gameroom with pool and ping-pong as well as a hottub which ensured everyone had something entertaining to do. We hope to be able to spend next Christmas there as well.

Hello, Thank you for your kind review! We look forward to welcoming you back in the future!
The house had enough space for our 3 families. Plenty of games to play for the kids. Great location to lots of places to visit. Kitchen was mostly stocked with everything we needed. Wish they had a working gas grill.

Thank you for the feedback, Kellli. We appreciate your feedback about the gas grill, and we'll certainly look into addressing that for future guests. Take care!
We had a wonderful stay at the home, which easily accommodated all 12 of us. The multi-level home, with a kitchen on each level, was a dream. We all had plenty of space to be together, and the pool table, ping pong table and hot tub were huge hits.

It's great to hear that you had a wonderful experience with the property! It sounds like the location and space were perfect for your needs, and I'm happy to know that you are planning on returning in the future. Thank you for sharing your positive feedback!
Overall was good experience. Temperature of pool made it only get minimal use - too cold for most. Hot tub got a lot of use. Refrigerator on each floor was a plus. Ovens on 2 floors were helpful for some meals. Foosball table is no longer there. Bean bags were a hit with the kids. They describe the drive in the listing and they aren't kidding. It is challenging so low vehicles would be a no go.Primary kitchen is not furnished as well as needed - no serving bowls, no large pots.

Happy to hear the house was a great fit for your group! Comfy beds and bean bags sound like the perfect setup for a relaxing trip.
This property is BEAUTIFUL! The house's location is tucked away but easy to get to main roadways. It had all amenities + a pool table. Big beautiful magnolia tree in the front, rocking chairs. Literally 3 floors each had bathrooms, 2 of them had microwaves and fridges lol. It was genius and a great stay. Great for a peacefull retreat. Will choose this location again if we are back.
