The Bear House was a perfect 2-day stop on our way to Destin. Mr. Sherfey welcomed us and gave us a brief tour of as soon as we arrived. The house was cozy and comfortable, convenient to restaurants and attractions, and stocked with coffee and snacks. We're definitely adding this to our list of favorites the next time we're in Chattanooga!

Our stay was even better than we anticipated. I wish we would have planned for a longer trip to enjoy the garden and outdoor area. Everything was very nice and the property had everything we could possibly need. There were snacks and plenty of coffee too. The house is located in a lovely residential area. We really enjoyed our stay!
