About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Enjoy the huge southern porch. Grab your sweet tea, Relax with Your Best Friend!

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.
