About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Enjoy the huge southern porch. Grab your sweet tea, Relax with Your Best Friend!

We are located on the lower side of Missionary Ridge. The battle of Missionary Ridge was fought here on Nov. 26, 1863. The Confederates camped in the very spot where this house was built in 2016. There is wheelchair access and an empty lot next door for overflow parking. We are pet friendly and have a nice Fenced in yard. My insurance does not allow pitbulls, chows or dobermans or any mixes with these breeds. It is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, living room, dining room with a washer and dryer in the kitchen. Comfy furniture and soft beds for your sleeping pleasure. I furnish toiletries and Little Debbies and coffee. Downtown Chattanooga is only 2 miles away. Across the street we have Shuffleboard, Horse Shoes, Picnic table with a grill. The garden on the next tear up was on the Hamilton County Master Gardener's Show in 2013. Walk through the garden, enjoy the views of Chattanooga, and sit down by the Mermaid Fountain with goldfish, and let your worries disappear. Relax with your sweet 2 dogs!

This is the second house of Tammy’s we’ve stayed at. Equally pleasant, and Tammy has a real knack for making a house feel like home. If you want a home away from home, this is the place to pick!

Like visiting a friend's house!
We stayed here with my son, granddaughter, friend, and two dogs for the weekend on our way to Gatlinburg. This home is exactly as the photos portray it. The home was very clean, spacious, and so comfortable and homey. I honestly felt like we were visiting a friend's house. The home is very well stocked, so much so that Tammy spoiled us for the next VRBO we went on to! :) We did call on Tammy twice for little things that turned out to be user error but she came right over and she was lovely. We really enjoyed talking with her. The surrounding area is more industrial and is going through gentrification but the street is quiet and we felt safe. Downtown is just a few minutes away and it's about a 15-minute drive to the attractions at Lookout Mountain. I would suggest coming in from Dodd's Rd, especially at night because the other way in has a very sharp turn and hill that's a little challenging in the dark. That could just be the Florida in me talking though! I would highly recommend this property and on our next visit to Chattanooga, we will definitely be staying in one of Tammy's properties again.

Wonderful cottage close to everything Chattanooga
My cousin’s family, my kids, and I stayed for 2 nights. The four kids range in age from 10-17. They loved the place! So did my 2 Goldendoodles. The doggos had a great time doing zoomies in fenced-in backyard. The kids loved the bunk beds and all the games the house has to offer! We all enjoyed the fireplace in the living room. We meet in Chattanooga every year to see the lights at Rock City, and this house was a perfect fit for our needs. It was decorated BEAUTIFULLY for Christmas. The house has 3 moderate-sized bedrooms but spacious overall. We all able to hang out together in the living room. Our favorite place to eat in Chatt is Sugar’s BBQ and it was literally right around the corner. We will be back! You can’t go wrong with this one!!

Chattanooga visit was enjoyable
Convenient location - be sure to enter from Dodd's street - close to downtown and also the attractions at Lookout Mountain. Lots of great restaurants are downtown and the Choo Choo depot is fantastic! Home is just the right size for a smaller group with plenty of kitchen supplies, linens, and a lovely front porch. Miss Tammy is a wonderful hostess. The only problem we had was using the TV in the living room to access the major networks.

Exactly As Described
This is a very nice home with a cottage feel. The property is well kept and has nice amenities. It was very convenient to downtown and to Lookout Mountain. It is a very good option for travelers with limited mobility. The house is all on one level. The walk in shower in the master bath was an added bonus. Recommended.

Overall great stay
Pros: decorated nicely; comfy beds with plenty of extra blankets/pillows; very well appointed - everything we needed; plenty of games, toys and books for all ages. Cons: No blinds/thin curtain in bedrooms; exterior doors would feel safer with extra interior locks; wasps nest in playground equipment.
