Great Location!

This location was the perfect pick for my small family of three. The neighborhood was very quiet and close to many restaurants and also to popular attractions like Ruby Falls. The only thing I’d have to say is the mattresses on the beds were not all that comfortable but it does not take away the five star review. We’d love to come back in the near future to stay again!

Chattanooga Heaven

This was the perfect place to stay in Chattanooga for our family of 5. We were close to everything. This house is super clean. They thought of everything. There are a bunch of games to play and a lot of space to play them. We were minutes away from everything we wanted to do....incline railway, Ruby falls, rock city, the aquarium. Chattanooga has hidden gem restaurants. We explored mean mug, Mr. Ts pizza, the ice cream show, clumpies, frothy monkey, and taco Mamacita. All SO GOOD. If you want a home away from home and magical weekend getaway with your family, stay here. We traveled with our 11, 8, and 6 year old. Everyone had a blast.

2 day stay

Overall the place was very clean and appealing. The only problem was we had a 1 year old with us and while crawling around he found a children’s Tylenol syringe somewhere in the floor. I didn’t think it a huge deal. Kids get into everything and probably found it somewhere you would never think to look. During our stay the power went out for a little while which had nothing to do with the host. I messaged them just to give them a heads up and Francesco was very prompt in replying and kept checking in until the power came back on.

Such a cute house in the sweetest neighborhood. We had everything we needed and appreciated the check-ins from the host leading up to the stay and during. We met really kind neighbors and the overall active, vibrant feel of the neighborhood was a joy to experience.

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!)
