Kathy's Kottage. Bungalow on the side of Missionary Ridge, Furry Friends Welcome

This house build in 2017, one story,has all the amenities! There is a 2 dog limit. My insurance will not allow pit bulls, chows, Rottweilers or dobermans, or any of these mixed breeds. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms with granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. It has a laundry room. The hall bath has a tub/shower combo. Tile floors throughout. A romantic fireplace is in the living room. Smoking is allowed on the huge front porch, where you can relax and let your worries float away! Behind the house there is a fire pit, too. The Battle of Missionary Ridge was fought on these grounds. I have found bullets, cannon balls, and shot while digging in the flower beds. I live across the street and the garden is located behind the "eyeball" wall. It is on old 3 tiered garden with 2 ponds. Sit on the bench and listen to the Mermaid fountain splash as the goldfish swim leisurely about. The birds will help you leave your troubles behind or swing and just remember times gone by. You will enjoy fabulous views of downtown and watch the sunset behind Lookout Mountain. There is a 2 dog limit with a FENCED IN BACK YARD. There are 2 other short term rentals on the same block, Gray Gables and Ridgedale Roost, if you need multiple houses for big events. Come and see the flowering bulbs in the spring! I can not offer a military discount.

Great rental in a good location. Everything was clean and ready for us when we got there and the communication with the host made checking in and out a breeze. Super close to downtown and close but not too close to the freeway which made getting out of the city super quick.

It is a pretty spacious home, conveniently located near all the places we wanted to visit. There was plenty of room for all six of us to roam through the house freely. There was a discrepancy with price….the VRBO site says no hidden fees, but then added them to the cost once we booked. We went ahead and kept the booking because of the proximity to everything. Host has a playground for the kiddos and a nice garden to view, as well as several books to read and games to play.

Tammy was a fantastic host! She’s lives across the street from the VRBO, so she stopped by to introduce herself and encourage us to reach out if we needed anything. The house was perfect for us. She had provided everything we could possibly need for our stay. There were lots of toys for the kids and an assortment of games and puzzles. Also she provided a list of things to do in Chattanooga and recommended some places to eat. The house was very clean and beautifully decorated for Christmas. The beds were comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet. We will definitely stay again!
