Minutes From Chattanooga / The Scenic City
Minutes From Chattanooga / The Scenic City"The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because the grass was tall. Look like it hadn't been mowed in weeks. Other then that everything was perfect. The house was very clean, couldn't tell that they were a pet friendly place. The house is tucked in a quite neighborhood right off of 75 and an exit away from East Ridge TN."

6 Mi to Downtown: Apartment in Chattanooga!
6 Mi to Downtown: Apartment in Chattanooga!"This a good place to stay. The location is good and house is in great shape and comfortable. I have a dog and it was difficult to walk her as this is really a residential location not a cabin as listed. There is not a much of a backyard and the street was small and pretty busy for safely walking my dog. And the TV was a real issue, difficult to use the two remotes and internet would pause often and completely stopped during a TV movie that I was unable to finish. This is a good option depending...

6 Mi to Chattanooga: Home w/ Balcony & Dtwn Views!"Brand new house in a quiet neighborhood overlooking the town. Also very close to a cute little park for small children with a duck pond and historic site. Perfect for the historian in your family. "




Cozy Cabin on Tenn River - 10 Mi to Chattanooga!
Cozy Cabin on Tenn River - 10 Mi to Chattanooga!"This is a wonderful place to stay at. I'm disabled so we had one step into the house. The place was clean and cozy. The back porch had a lot of spiders and spider webs but there was a broom provided to sweep off the webs. It's located near a river and in a forest covered mountain so spiders are to be expected. Otherwise plenty of utensils and plates. They also have a grill with comfy porch furniture. Very pleased with the stay. Will return."

Ideal Location & Mountain Views: Chattanooga Home!"We absolutely loved this cabin tucked away in a quiet area of Chattanooga yet still close to shopping and dining. The host is was friendly and quick to respond to our messages. We were blown away by the beautiful and unique furnishings, the layout and extraordinary condition of the property. Our stay was so wonderful we didnโt want to leave! Hopefully the next time we visit Chattanooga we will be able to book again. Itโs that good folks! "

"I had never heard of this brand before but now Iโll seek it out. Our stay was great! The only negative was that there was some wear and tear on the bathroom but that was minor. Everything was clean and safe! Check in and out was a breeze. Everyone was so helpful and polite. The rooms were quiet and comfortable. "
Baymont by Wyndham Chattanooga/Eastridge
"Although not dirty the room was not as clean as it should be. Example, the tile in front of the sink was dirty in an around the raised swirls in the tile. The staff was accommodating to requests. The breakfast was nice, not just continental."
