A very well maintained house. They put a lot of thought and effort into remodeling this home for vacation rentals. It is also cleverly decorated, which adds to its charm. A great location in relation to all the Chattanooga tourist essentials and it sits in a quiet, friendly neighborhood. It’s in an old part of town but it seems to be trendy to live in this part of town, based on the number of young adults with children walking/exercising throughout the day. I would definitely rent here again! 3 adults/2 kids on my visit.

The Blue Gem lived up to our expectations and more. The house is just as cute in person as it is in the pictures. It was very clean and ready for our arrival. The beds are quite comfortable, and we all slept soundly. The neighborhood is adorable and a great place to walk. We took a few strolls on the Virginia Greenway, sometimes with the destination of coffee or a meal in St. Elmo. It's a five-minute walk to some hiking trails on Lookout Mt. The kitchen is truly well equipped for cooking. Oh, and I can't forget the backyard! It was a hot week, but we enjoyed the comfortable seating areas in the morning and evening.
In addition to all of this, communication with the owners was a breeze. They responded quickly and helpfully to any questions. I highly recommend the Blue Gem!

Came with our five children ages 17, 15, 13, and two littles under 2! We also brought our small doggie. The house is stunning and the neighborhood friendly. Had adequate space and amenities. It was situated in a community close to absolutely everything we wanted to see and do and right down the road from stores and shops and attractions. The host communicated when necessary and wasnt at all unreachable or too much. We had to leave a day early bc of the heat and I had misplaced an important item at a nearby attraction that impacted the rest of our trip. They absolutely understood that when I messaged them. Would definitely stay here again if we ever find ourselves in the area.

We had a party of 6 and the home accomadoted us very well! The loft area was perfect for the kids. The bedrooms are great! It's rare to find
comfortable beds in rentals but these beds were magnificent! The neighbors and neighborhood was superb!
The host was responsive and communicated throughout our stay just to see if we needed anything! Never have I had that happen! Check in and check out policies are clearly communicated.

Cozy house in a very quiet neighborhood. The perfect place to end spring break with my daughter and grandkids.

The Blue Gem is on a quiet street in a family friendly neighborhood where people walk/jog/bicycle. Great park a short walk away, grocery store nearby and easy access to downtown. We enjoyed views of Lookout Mtn from the front porch swing and sitting area in backyard. The house is very clean and the handcrafted woodwork and art throughout are so cool! We had everything we needed here to make our long wknd stay comfortable. Katie was easily accessible had we needed anything. Hope to stay here again in the future!

We stayed for just a couple of nights, but it was the perfect spot for us. My three kids (ages 9-12) said it was their favorite vacation rental. We grilled meals, enjoyed the fire pit, rested well, and used it as a jumping off point for our adventures on Lookout Mountain and in Chattanooga. It was spacious and comfortable with lots of kitchen supplies! We will be recommending this stay and hope to come back soon!

Amazing location. The property was the best VRBO we have ever stayed in. Everything was super clean and comfortable. The kids loved the spiral staircase to the loft.
The neighborhood cats very very friendly and evening walks were perfect.

This was a perfect location for what we wanted for a long weekend getaway meeting up with my parents. The house is so cute with artsy touches which give it personality & help you to feel like you really got away from the norm yet was comfortable and cozy with all that you need.

Beautiful home nestled in the St Elmo historic district...clean & pristine at check-in...everything was comfy, cozy, restful & peaceful...the covered area in the back was an excellent place to chill out in the evening, by the firepit, or during the day while enjoying a book...

House was clean and exactly as listed; check in process was easy and there's a welcome binder for reminders of the process along with area recommendations. We have 2 littles and my mother stayed with us -- all had enough space. Kitchen & bathrooms were stocked, plenty of towels, and the outdoor space was lovely! We didn't need much but had to communicate with manager a bit and they were very kind. Only a couple cons -- the metal/iron staircase is a bit of a risk, but you just have to know what you're getting into. It's very narrow with the designs kind of sticking out (very easy to hurt yourself), and not easy to go up and down repetitively -- the 2 smaller beds were up there, which is also a tight space with an angled ceiling (my 4yo easily kept hitting his head so we had to adjust the mattress placement). But, we made it work and my kids were just old enough to handle it ok (6 & 4 - any younger and it would have been a major issue). The check out process was a little more than I'm used to, which makes me think this is a high frequency rental -- there were a lot of steps to do and I was afraid I wouldn't get them all right. I followed the instructions binder and the app notifications from the manager -- there are also instructions on the fridge but they must be outdated because it was inconsistent with the manager communication. Overall, great property, neighborhood and area, and management and would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful time exploring the St Elmo neighborhood and Lookout Mtn. The house was convenient to all we needed. We especially loved being on the bike path that took us straight to shops/restaurants and the Incline Railway.
5.0
The house was warm and welcoming. The neighborhood it was in was a very peaceful area and great to walk around. We were also close to many of the attractions Chattanooga had to offer and we never had to drive far. If we visit Chattanooga again, this is the place we want to call home during our stay!

Right at the foot of Lookout Mountain. We chose the place for the ability to bring our doggo. Had to be in town for a funeral. The house was just right for the 4 of us and the dog. Location was central to most places we needed to be. House was very clean and unique. Lots of nice updates. Neighborhood seemed safe enough. Would consider staying here again, if we needed a nice place to crash in Chattanooga.

Wonderful neighborhood, easy to get anywhere, perfectly clean, nice character, quiet, good parking...sort of the little train that could. Met our needs perfectly. If you don't need big, and two bedroom and two baths fit your needs...this is a great choice.

What a wonderful house!! We absolutely loved it. It was so clean and beautifully decorated and maintained. The neighborhood was fantastic for our family. We walked to the park/playground and went for a run on the greenway! Very close to the incline railroad and just a short drive to the other attractions like the aquarium! (A must-see!) We plan to return to this home on future visits to Chattanooga! Thank you!

The house was perfect for our family of 3. Short walk to our daughter's favorite park, and she loved the loft! St. Elmo is a great neighborhood. By far our favorite rental we've stayed at on our travels. Will definitely book again if available!

Found this house to be cleaner than most rentals I have stayed in. It was well stocked and communication with the host was easy. My elderly mother-in-law stayed with us and we found access easy for her. That can be a challenge in Chattanooga due to the hilly terrain but that was not an issue here. We did not use the upstairs beds but my five year old granddaughter visited with us and had a lot of fun finding all the shapes the welder put into the spiral stair case. This is not our first time staying with these hosts. They do a good job and we will be back.

We were in Chattanooga to meet our new granddaughter and celebrate the holidays. The listing was in St Elmo very close to our children. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. It was so clean and and warm during the super cold weather. I wish the weather would have been warmer so we could have enjoyed the outdoor area with the fire pit.
Next time I guess!

This place is awesome! First of all really clean and cute and lots of character. Secondly, it came super well stocked which is not a typical thing to renting. I just realized I forgot to put the A/C back to 72. But that’s also because the checkout process was so simple! This was a staycation for some friends and we loved the accessibility and the great amenities. Great hosts!!!

This property was fantastic. Set in a quiet, off-the-path historic neighborhood where my kids could play in the street, we were still:
Less than 2 min from Lookout Mountain Incline and major grocery store.
Less than 5 min from excellent restaurants
Less than 10 min from Ruby Falls and downtown Chattanooga
Less than 15 min from the top of Lookout Mountain.
The property is smartly prepared with everything you need. My wife, 4 kids and I were immediately "at home" and we took advantage of the excellent property to save money by cooking 3 of the 4 nights we were there.
I will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Chattanooga
