We are located on the lower side of Missionary Ridge. The battle of Missionary Ridge was fought here on Nov. 26, 1863. The Confederates camped in the very spot where this house was built in 2016. It is a one story house. We are pet friendly and have a nice Fenced in yard. My insurance does not allow pitbulls, chows or dobermans or any mixes with these breeds. It is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, living room, dining room with a washer and dryer in the kitchen. Comfy furniture and soft beds for your sleeping pleasure. I furnish toiletries and Little Debbies and coffee. Downtown Chattanooga is only 2 miles away. Across the street we have Shuffleboard, Horse Shoes, Picnic table with a grill. The garden on the next tear up was on the Hamilton County Master Gardener's Show in 2013. Walk through the garden, enjoy the views of Chattanooga, and sit down by the Mermaid Fountain with goldfish, and let your worries disappear. Relax with your sweet 2 dogs! My insurance does not cover Chows, Pitbulls, Rottweilers, or Dobermans.

We really enjoyed our stay here. This was the cleanest, best stocked place we have stayed. Centrally located to major highways made getting around easy and the fenced yard was perfect for the pups. We look forward to coming back to Chattanooga and would definitely rent from Tammy again.

We’re 4 seniors who came to Chattanooga to go hang gliding on Lookout Mountain. This house worked perfectly for us. Sitting on the front porch was lovely - so many birds singing their songs. A nice neighborhood, a 10 min drive to downtown, and a well equipped kitchen. The host, Tammy, lives across the street. We didn’t need either, but she’s given consideration to kids and pets with toys for both, a fenced in yard, and a great play-set across the street. She’s fun to chat with and very responsive to your needs. We enjoyed our time here.

This is not the first time that we have stayed in one of Tammy‘s properties. We keep coming back for a reason. Everything is always clean and ready to go. The check-in process is very easy and Tammy communicates very well. She answers messages quickly. It’s an excellent place to go if you were going to anything at Mccallie. It’s easy to get to southside and to downtown as well. I highly recommend that you check out her gardens while you are there and taking a sunset. Her properties are pet friendly.
