Historic St. Elmo Home - Near Hiking & Downtown!

SUMMARY
Discover all that Chattanooga has to offer without sacrificing comfort or style while staying at this 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom vacation rental house at the foothills of Lookout Mountain. This home comfortably sleeps 6 guests. Located just 10 minutes away from all of the attractions in downtown Chattanooga, you can plan to take a short walk to historic St. Elmo or access the Guild Trail to view the Tennessee River as you hike past Ruby Falls!

THE PROPERTY
Bedroom 1: Queen Bed | Bedroom 2: Full-over-Full Bunk Bed

Built in 1914, this historic home is ready to set the tone for a truly charming southern getaway. You're sure to enjoy the lush canopy of trees that surround the furnished porch as soon as you walk up the stairs to the charming home!

Beautiful flooring welcome you inside the home, and lead you to the bright living space that features with a comfy couch and a flat-screen Smart TV equipped with Roku and Hulu Live

Around the corner from the original decorative brick fireplace is the fully equipped kitchen. Prepare for the next day's excursion as you pack a snack for your hike to Ruby Falls along the Guild Trail!

You couldn't ask for a better location in Chattanooga - this home is nestled at the base of Lookout Mountain right along the Guild Trail with connection to the RiverWalk. So don't hesitate to go outside and explore the terrain that includes Mystery Falls, Ruby Falls, and the Tennessee River!

If you're in Chattanooga for the IronMan event, make this property your new home base! This lovely home sits near the raceway - perfect for both athletes and supportive spectators.

Experience a more urban landscape with a 10-minute drive into downtown. Tour the campus of The University of Tennessee, visit the Creative Discovery Museum, or cheer on the Chattanooga Mocs at Finley Stadium.

Indulge in traditional southern cooking at one of the restaurants in historic St. Elmo - a short 10-minute walk from this home. Savor the flavors of seasoned scallops at 1885 Grill or share a tangy BBQ sandwich at The Purple Daisy Picnic Cafe.

Wonderful home in a safe area
Impressed with how clean the house was. Stocked on many things you may need. I had to contact host with a few questions and he always responded quickly. Quiet and safe neighborhood. Just FYI, there is no closet outside of the bedrooms, nowhere to hang coats. Some people may want to bring night lights. Renter before us must have broken one side of the recliner couch, host did not know. Only concern of mine was the weak wifi security. Shower is great for tall people. Would definitely stay with this host again.

Cute house great location
House was very cute and suited our needs for 2 nights. We just needed a place to sleep and shower. We didn’t get to or need to utilize anything in the house since we were doing all the touristy things with my cousin that lives in Chatt during the one full day we were there. Beds were very comfortable, it was close to everything, and had all the essentials. I would recommend a picture and better description of the area in which you park. It’s an unpaved, open grassy, uneven sloped hill at the bottom of the property. You can squeeze two cars in it, but you do need to hike your luggage up some big concrete stairs to the house. Luckily my husband was there to haul the luggage because I have a shoulder injury and wouldn’t have been able to get our big luggage up there. Anyone with mobility issues wouldN’t fare so well. Also, there is a very large deposit they charge $1,500 up front and you don’t get it back for 2 weeks after you check out. I’ve stayed in multimillion dollar homes in many states and other countries and it seemed a little much for a small home, but that’s the owners call, so just keep that in mind. The kids loved the bunk beds. They are full size mattresses not twins, which is a bonus since our girls fight over who gets the top one. This way they both could sleep on the top bunk. The front porch is nice with tons of green lush landscape. We’d definitely stay here again.

Perfect spot!
This property is cozy and inviting from the moment you pull up to it. Plenty of room for me and my 11yr old daughter for her spring break. The location is perfect, with easy access to all the attractions and Guild Trail. While only being 10-15 minutes from the aquarium and Coolidge Park. We will definitely rebook this lovely home anytime we are in the area!

This cabin was perfect for my daughter and me to have a fun Christmas weekend in St. Elmo. It’s close to the Guild trail which we utilized for walking and running. We attended the St. Elmo Christmas luminary walk and festival which was so fun. The cabin was very comfortable and clean!

St. Elmo visit
This property was perfectly located close to the people I was visiting. It was so nice to sit on the porch with my coffee and enjoy watching the birds and squirrels. I would recommend you have good mobility to climb the steps to the front door. And if you enjoy a hard mattress then you will sleep good. It had many nice amenities. The kitchen was well stocked. Cute home.

Wonderful stay!
We were looking for a quiet spot to stay while in town for the Chickamauga Battlefield Marathon. The location was great. The street was quiet, tucked a couple of blocks back off the Main Street through St. Elmo. The house was comfortable, clean as can be, and convenient to both the marathon and to downtown Chattanooga. The house was well equipped with kitchen items, towels and toiletries. The beds slept great! We would definitely book here again next time we are in the area.

Hillside house
This house is small but functional. The two bathrooms are convenient. The tub diverter is hidden under the spout. Should probably get a different spout with a more obvious diverter knob. The address is well marked on the mailbox and the parking is actually convenient, but it is easy to miss and the roads are a little intimidating. Convenient to Ruby Falls and downtown.
