Weekend in Chattanooga
My family and I recently experienced a short getaway and searched last minute for a place to stay in Chattanooga. The house was perfect for us. 3 bedrooms with one of the rooms having a triple decker bunkbed. The house was very clean and updated nicely. We enjoyed sitting around the firepit in the back yard and played cornhole. The kids loved the board/cards games that were also provided. Location is literally the best. Central spot to everywhere. Will definitely be staying here again.

Wonder Springbreak with small kids
We had a 3 day trip planned with our young 4 kids. The three boys loved the bunk beds and the house was perfect to base our activities out from. The location was perfect as it is close to anything you would want to do in the area. We would happily book this place again. Thanks!

Perfect Location
The location was perfect. We were 1 mile from pretty much everything you could want to do. The brand new playground was walking distance from the house and my 7 year old loved it. We took full advantage of this perk!

Family friendly and spacious!
We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home! There was plenty of room to spread out and we never felt like we were on top of each other like we would've in a hotel. My family enjoyed playing all of the games provided and the kids loved the awesome bunk beds. The home is very well stocked with anything you might need during your stay. We never got to enjoy the cute backyard because of the weather, but it would've been great for hanging out and making smores! The neighborhood was also very nice and in the perfect location if you're doing all of the touristy things nearby.

Fantastic Chattanooga!
We went for a few days to Chattanooga and had an amazing time. This property is in a great location and very quiet, however, close to everything you would want to do and see. The property is clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this home for your stay!

About the host

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!)
