We arrived at the rental between 8pm-8:30pm and after unloading & showering, we went to bed around 9pm. Within minutes of being in bed I was bitten at least 3x by something. I got up, checked the bed, and took 13 different pictures of the bugs in the bed. Being late, I was grossed out but went to the couch where I found MORE bugs and food in the cushions. My grandson said he was being bitten also. It was late and we eventually just slept until 3:30am when we couldn’t take it anymore. We packed up and left.

Nice overnight stay. Host was nice and got us what we needed.

Very lovely. I was initially concerned about access to the home due to prior reviews, but the owner provided instructions in the email and the front drive ((which is very steep)) was roped off to assist with driver confusion. Just make sure to read your email in full, pass by the front of the home, follow the winding road down the mountain, and turn left at the stop sign (I believe 38th?). To be clear, this place is not handicap accessible & anyone who has a hard time with steep flights of stairs should avoid. The black steep staircase at the rear of the home leds to the guest area. Owner, Dennis, lives below. The driveway is a tad tricky but not impossible and Dennis was onsight ready to assist with any questions we had. The rental itself is lovely and as described. I saw other reviews discussing ants but my husband and I did not see any insect issue inside of the home. It was clean and cozy. It was also located just around the corner from a fabulous little Italian restaurant called, Giardino's. The only reason I gave a 4/5 stars for the neighborhood would be the concern I had regarding some of the surrounding homes. Some are large mansions at the top of the hill but others aren't as maintained. A few had bars on doors and windows, and we noted 24 hour surveillance signs posted at residences (including this vrbo) too, which made us wonder about crime in the area. However, while we were there we had zero incidents & a wonderul stay! We would absolutely recommend to others.

The property was as described. Great outdoor space to hang out and watch the squirrels. We had an issue with the AC but the host quickly returned our call and got it taken care of.
This is a great place to stay!

This was a family girls trip for the weekend and the property looked great from the listing. There were a few things that bothered us. First, there was no mention on the listing about not using the driveway. Apparently there was supposed to be a rope that kept us from using it, but we didn’t see that because it was laying on the ground. That was a crazy ordeal, but luckily the owner helped us get our truck back up the driveway. The steps going up to the house are very steep and didn’t feel safe. Inside the house, was nice until we noticed all the bugs and ants everywhere. It was raining when we got there and noticed the window by the front door was leaking water. Also, the vent in the kitchen looked like it had insulation coming out of it. Fixing those issues would make this house a good place to stay.

We rented this place for my family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids) and my parents. It was advertised as 2 queen beds and a double futon. There was no futon in the house. My kids had to sleep on a sectional with no extra bedding to be found in the house. I reached out to the owner, who stays in the basement, the next morning, but never got a response. It is a 1.5 bath, not 2, as there is only a shower/tub combo. The mattresses are very hard, which we did not love, but know some people could. We killed several big black ants during our stay as well.

It was ok. We felt it was priced too high for the quality.

The property was beautiful! It was very clean, very comfortable, and I loved the peacefulness of the home. Very relaxing. The host was easy to contact and accommodating! It was close to all the places we wanted to visit and exactly what we wanted!

We chose this property for the views and outdoor space. Sunsets were so beautiful over the mountains. Over all would recommend this property. Things we noticed during our stay that we recommend host adds. All 3 smoke detectors and fire extinguisher were missing from the property. We recommend laundry detergent so we could wash the towels as we stayed 3 nights. We found white dog hair on the couch. The dishes were not the most clean. But for the price we were satisfied.
4.5
Great view. We only stayed overnight, so didn’t get a chance to explore. This house is in a neighborhood, so if you’re looking for someplace out of the way, this wouldn’t be for you.
4.5
This was a cute and pleasant stay for us as we ventured Lookout Mountain and all it entails. Nice tenant and was available if needed. Would recommend!

We loved the mountain location and the gorgeous view. We didn’t see the specific driving directions provided by the host before we headed up…and definitely suggest you access your booking confirmation before arrival. A little turning around and we arrived. The deck with the firepit and seating is so welcoming. We saw the other review about steps leading up and it is no joke. They are steep and shallow. Our mom almost joined the trip last minute and it’s good she didn’t; with her mobility issues the stairs would be a no go and we would have been faced with a dilemma of finding a new place to stay. Denny was very welcoming and responded to all our questions timely. We happened to see him on arrival and he was very friendly and accommodating. The listing shows 2 queen beds and a double futon; but there are 2 bedrooms with queen beds and an “L” shaped couch in the main family room and a small couch in the sunroom (3 walls of windows-no shades) So fortunately we weren’t trying to sleep 6 adults…just 2 adults (sisters) and two kids who could share the couch or sleep with mom/auntie. We did notice a smell that a couple past guests noted in their reviews (May and Nov). It’s a little musty/mildew smell but improved with the doors and windows open for a bit. We also noticed a smoke/cigarette smell and couldn’t tell if maybe someone in the lower apartment smokes and the smell has wafted up. It was worse in closets and bathrooms. Well decorated and spacious. Cute place!

Let me start by saying the location is perfect! Everything was within a 10-15 minute drive which was very convenient.
But, the directions weren’t clear and we arrived at night so locating the entrance was challenging. Several bugs, dead and alive, and the listing is deceiving because it says 2 bathrooms but it’s really 1 1/2 because the one bathroom in the bedroom didn’t have a tub or shower. Also, lots or dirty dishes were in the cupboard. Looks like they may have been run through the dishwater but no one looked at them. I re-washed EVERYTHING we used.
Plenty towels, tissue, and paper towels. Overall, it worked but based on the price I was expecting more, and the stairs were a beast.

I was looking for a quiet place with a pretty view for a kid-free staycation. This place didn’t disappoint!

Great cozy place to stay for a long weekend

Walked into residence after struggling to find driveway. Entrance dirty, smelled awful, food crumbs on a remnant rug that’s filthy, furniture in need of dumpster, bathroom gross would never take shower in it. We stayed less than 10 minutes and rented hotel for 3 days. Contacted host and waiting on some kind of refund. Run! This place shouldn’t be available to rent.

We needed a place for quiet and rest following a Family Funeral. The property and accommodations were clean and comfortable. The location was a little confusing, but I'm unsure how you could explain it any better. It just took us some time to figure out where to park since it was our first visit. Creamer and sugar for coffee would have been greatly appreciated, but we loved our stay! Really no complaints. Thanks so much!

The coziest place I’ve been to in a long time! Me and my husband first time in Chattanooga and it didn’t disappoint us! Amazon views of the mountains. Take a trip to Rock City amazing! House has wooden floors so a little cool at times we’re socks! Delores who lives below is as away as pie and very helpful. You have to get to the driveway from the back side of the house steep hill beware! Owner Danny communicates well if any problems. Best contribute is the fire pit!
4.5
The property was clean & well stocked with everything we needed. The host was great to reply to any questions. We enjoyed the deck and gas fire pit. If you are coming in at night after dark ask for detailed instructions on how to find the back of the house. It can be a little confusing. We didn’t have any trouble with following his directions rather than the GPS. We would definitely stay again.

We had the best trip to Chattanooga and our VRBO definitely played a role in that. So cute, centrally located and really peaceful. Great place to stay. Can’t wait to go back!

We really enjoyed our stay! If we had an issue the host/owner was quick and happy to handle it. The home was older but well kept. Great location with a great outdoor space. The owner is on site with another tenant.

Think twice
We came for a wedding in Chattanooga. I would not recommend this place. First, we had trouble getting there using gps, because the property has 2 entrances. One of them is out of commission. Property was in a rural/industrial neighborhood, I certainly wouldn’t feel comfortable walking around. From the listing, I was unaware someone would be living downstairs as well. The inside of the property has a lot of bugs and human hair. Kitchen was filthy and we put throw blankets on the beds and couch because they had stains and hair on them. If I went back to Chattanooga, I would just stay in a hotel downtown. The neighborhoods were too unsavory.

Made a quick stop over at this property on the way to Disney. Nice quiet place up on the hill. Easy check in. Has everything you need. Host was very easy to talk with and gave us everything we needed. It is a 2nd story home with someone that lives below you. Note very steep staircase to get into the home. If that is a problem you can still walk around to the house to get to the front door.
4.5
The only major complaint was that the place had a strong odor of bug spray when you walk in and there were ants in the kitchen everywhere. Couldn’t leave any food on the counter or dishes in the sink. 10 minutes later you look and the dishes are covered in ants.

The owner was very nice and polite. The property was beautiful and clean. I'm disappointed I didn't book it for longer. I would definitely book again.
