Loved the property, very clean and comfortable. Great location for what we were doing. Only down side is the street parking if it is raining you are loading and unloading your car standing in a river. Would definitely stay again.

Spring Break at The Nealis House

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and appreciated all of the thoughtful details in the house which made it feel like a home away from home. Our favorite part was how child-friendly the house was - our daughter was continuously entertained with the books, games, coloring supplies, and kitchen set. We will absolutely stay here again the next time we visit Chattanooga - highly recommend!

A Chattanooga Charmer

My husband and daughter thoroughly enjoyed staying at Nealis House. It was conveniently located to everywhere they needed to be in the city and Sarah was super responsive as the host with any questions. They enjoyed the neighborhood and felt very safe. It was clean, well laid out, the beds were comfy and they had everything they needed for the weekend. Will definitely stay again as we travel to Chattanooga a few times a year for youth sports - nice job, hosts!

Beautiful property

The house is cute online but in person it’s even better! It was perfect for our quick trip with our kids. They really enjoyed the working record player and play kitchen. We had a fire and played games in the yard at night under the lights. It was like a dream. Thank you!
