Thatcher's Mill House On The Ridge and Four Legged Friendly!
Thatcher's Mill House was built in 1919 for the mill workers 3 blocks down that worked at Standard-Coosa Thatcher Mill. There is a one dog limit. My insurance will not allow Pit bulls, Chows, or Dobermans. No mixes with these 3 breeds. It was a shotgun house that started with knob and tube electricity and no plumbing. Behind the house is a lot that all the local women would to get their water from a spring located there, no longer there due to the interstate and the demolition of many of the Missionary Ridge Houses. Remodeled and now like new this is a little gem that invites guests to enjoy what Chattanooga offers. Two mile to downtown Chattanooga. I live across the street and behind my house is an old maintained 3 tiered garden with wonderful views of the city. The sunsets are awesome with a goldfish pond and a Mermaid fountain. Sit with a glass of wine and enjoy the sound of the birds singing and the water splashing. Let your worries melt away. The Battle of Missionary Ridge was fought on this very ground. There have been bullets and shot found on the property. Come and converse with the ghosts....just kidding. Please do not ask for a late check out. I respect that my cleaners have lives other than just cleaning my rentals. Feel free to stay another day. Thank you!

Great Place!
Clean and nicely set up with all the essentials—very welcoming even including Christmas decorations! This VRBO had all we needed to enjoy our short stay but we hope to come back again! Thank you to host Tammy who was immediately available and helpful when I had a couple of questions. Our experience was perfect for the few days we were there!

HIDDEN GEM ALERT
This place is incredible! It was my wife and I‘s first time getting to take the little one to the aquarium and all things Chattanooga and we could not have picked a better place to stay. The interior of this place is modern and up-to-date and is perfect for our size family and honestly would’ve worked even if we had another kiddo with us. It really feels like you’re able to come back to a house as opposed to just a hotel. We cooked here and were able to spend time at night winding down here. This place was exceptionally clean and Tammy was very responsive to all messages and very friendly when I got to speak with her. Do yourself a favor and book here if you’re even remotely considering it! My wife and I have stayed in five or six different vacation rentals in Chattanooga over the years and this one was hands-down the best experience we have had. My only hesitation in leaving this review is it’s going to add to this place as stellar reputation and may make it harder to book the next time we’re down there lol

Perfect
This is by far the best experience with a vacation rental i have ever had. I wish Tammy had places all over the world. The house was perfect. Decor , well she can come and help me decorate my home any dsy. Location close and convenient to all the places we wanted to ho. I would give this home a 20 + if the scale went that high.
We absolutely loved staying in this little gem! It had great access to everything we wanted to see/do while in Chattanooga. Tammy let us know there was more space for our furry family member to run, but she seemed content with the yard at the house!

As advertised
This small mill house has been redone with excellent choices in decor. The space is well used and there is plenty of room for two. The only negative thing I have to say is the parking. It's on street and inconvenient. Excellent communication with host.

Perfect little home away from home
This is a great little home away from home if you are staying near Chattanooga. The location is convenient to area attractions and is in a quiet neighborhood. The home was spotless, and the owner considered every amenity that could be needed. We enjoyed reading the history of this little gem. We will definitely stay here if we visit again!

Love the Mill House
The house is so cute, and the host has thought of everything to make it comfortable like home. It was perfect for me and my wife on our short visit to Nooga to visit family. The whole rental literally couldn’t have been better!
