Built in 1914, this historic home is ready to set the tone for a truly charming southern getaway. You're sure to enjoy the lush canopy of trees that surround the furnished porch as soon as you walk up the stairs to the charming home!

Beautiful flooring welcome you inside the home, and lead you to the bright living space that features with a comfy couch and a flat-screen Smart TV equipped with Roku and Hulu Live

You couldn't ask for a better location in Chattanooga - this home is nestled at the base of Lookout Mountain right along the Guild Trail with connection to the RiverWalk. So don't hesitate to go outside and explore the terrain that includes Mystery Falls, Ruby Falls, and the Tennessee River!

If you're in Chattanooga for the IronMan event, make this property your new home base! This lovely home sits near the raceway - perfect for both athletes and supportive spectators.

Experience a more urban landscape with a 10-minute drive into downtown. Tour the campus of The University of Tennessee, visit the Creative Discovery Museum, or cheer on the Chattanooga Mocs at Finley Stadium.

Spotless. Professional. Small, older house but had absolutely everything our family of four needed. Some higher end upgrades had been added since the listing pictures, which were appreciated. We were able to access two trails on foot. Would definitely stay again, great value!

We had a wonderful stay at this cute property. It is conveniently located a short drive from St. Elmo. My brother worked at the house during the day and he said it was a comfortable place to work.  The house was very clean. I didn’t cook much, but the kitchen is well stocked for anyone who plans to cook.  The owner communicated details about the property clearly.

This is probably the cleanest place we have ever stayed. The location is great, just a short drive to everything Chattanooga has to offer. There is a Food City right down the road along with some restaurants, ice cream and the Incline Railway. We would absolutely stay here again!

It was a lovely, clean, and comfortable stay. The home was in an excellent location (a quiet, charming neighborhood and close to a lot of sights, plus a nature trail), had all of the amenities we needed, and the host was amazing in answering any questions we had. Would stay here again!

We very much enjoyed our stay here! The house was adorable and the location was amazing! We comfortably fit a family of four. The house had all the amenities we needed, including some games and puzzles we did as a family at night after very full days around town. It was so easy to get downtown or to the mountain. There is even a hiking/ biking trail right across the street that we took advantage of. We had an amazing time! Definitely worth a stay here in St Elmo!

We loved our stay in this cozy and clean rental house. It was just enough space for my husband, mother, 3 year old daughter, and myself. The location is on a quiet street just a few minutes from Rock City and down the road from the cute St. Elmo restaurants, shops, and Lookout Mountain Incline. Would highly recommend!

Great location for us, clean and accommodating. There wasn’t an additional couch as pictured in the photos which would have been nice with our family of 6. It was a tight fit but served our purpose and budget. The door was a bit tricky at time to get in but we were informed by the host that it was. Overall, we would return and had a great trip visiting Chattanooga.
