About this property

Historic St. Elmo Home - Near Hiking & Downtown!

SUMMARY
Discover all that Chattanooga has to offer without sacrificing comfort or style while staying at this 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom vacation rental house at the foothills of Lookout Mountain. This home comfortably sleeps 6 guests. Located just 10 minutes away from all of the attractions in downtown Chattanooga, you can plan to take a short walk to historic St. Elmo or access the Guild Trail to view the Tennessee River as you hike past Ruby Falls!

THE PROPERTY
Bedroom 1: Queen Bed | Bedroom 2: Full-over-Full Bunk Bed

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

Around the corner from the original decorative brick fireplace is the fully equipped kitchen. Prepare for the next day's excursion as you pack a snack for your hike to Ruby Falls along the Guild Trail!

Enjoy your home-cooked meals at home around the dining table with seating for 4, or cozy up at the breakfast bar with seating for 2.

The master bedroom features a queen-sized bed, while the second bedroom offers a comfortable full-over-full bunk bed.

THE LOCATION
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.

Indulge in traditional southern cooking at one of the restaurants in historic St. Elmo - a short 10-minute walk from this home. Savor the flavors of seasoned scallops at 1885 Grill or share a tangy BBQ sandwich at The Purple Daisy Picnic Cafe.

We didn’t get to stay as a kid woke up sick the morning we were supposed to leave, but the owner was responsive and understanding. I definitely plan on booking again next time I’m heading down that way, though!

Charming home

This house is very cute and charming. The property is beautiful and you are in walking distance to Guild trail-an easy path for any age. The home was comfy and cozy. The one thing I would say is it needed more seating in the family room. The pic shows 2 couches and a chair. There was only one small couch which left our family of 5 without a comfy seat when we settled in. I would definitely recommend this house to stay in for anyone coming to visit Chattanooga!

Wonderful home in a safe area

Impressed with how clean the house was. Stocked on many things you may need. I had to contact host with a few questions and he always responded quickly. Quiet and safe neighborhood. Just FYI, there is no closet outside of the bedrooms, nowhere to hang coats. Some people may want to bring night lights. Renter before us must have broken one side of the recliner couch, host did not know. Only concern of mine was the weak wifi security. Shower is great for tall people. Would definitely stay with this host again.

Perfect spot!

This property is cozy and inviting from the moment you pull up to it. Plenty of room for me and my 11yr old daughter for her spring break. The location is perfect, with easy access to all the attractions and Guild Trail. While only being 10-15 minutes from the aquarium and Coolidge Park. We will definitely rebook this lovely home anytime we are in the area!
