Thatcher's Mill House On The Ridge and Four Legged Friendly!

Thatcher's Mill House was built in 1919 for the mill workers 3 blocks down that worked at Standard-Coosa Thatcher Mill. There is a one dog limit. My insurance will not allow Pit bulls, Rottweilers, Chows, or Dobermans. No mixes with these 3 breeds. It was a shotgun house that started with knob and tube electricity and no plumbing. Behind the house is a lot that all the local women would to get their water from a spring located there, no longer there due to the interstate and the demolition of many of the Missionary Ridge Houses. Remodeled and now like new this is a little gem that invites guests to enjoy what Chattanooga offers. Two mile to downtown Chattanooga. I live across the street and behind my house is an old maintained 3 tiered garden with wonderful views of the city. The sunsets are awesome with a goldfish pond and a Mermaid fountain. Sit with a glass of wine and enjoy the sound of the birds singing and the water splashing. Let your worries melt away. The Battle of Missionary Ridge was fought on this very ground. There have been bullets and shot found on the property. Come and converse with the ghosts....just kidding.
Please do not ask for a late check out. I respect that my cleaners have lives other than just cleaning my rentals. Feel free to stay another day. Thank you!

Perfect little home away from home

This is a great little home away from home if you are staying near Chattanooga. The location is convenient to area attractions and is in a quiet neighborhood. The home was spotless, and the owner considered every amenity that could be needed. We enjoyed reading the history of this little gem. We will definitely stay here if we visit again!

Once Again Great!

I spent a month in this cute mill house and grew very attached to it. As we had stayed there before for a few days, I knew it would be good and would have what I needed, and it sure did. I enjoyed meeting Tammy this time and communicating with her during my stay. She was very helpful and I even got a tour of her amazing master garden. This place is very clean, well stocked, nicely set up and able to accommodate dinner guests. There’s no question this will be my preferred place to stay during my/our visits to Chattanooga!

The atmosphere was like home, very cozy. When I got home, I said to myself I didn't even miss home. How sad is that? We made the time we had count. I did however have a hard time with the TV. I am not tech savvy. I would love to send pictures, but I don't know how. I would suggest that you put Pukett's on your recommendations for a place to eat. I really had the time of my life. Thanks for everything.

My husband and I stayed here for a little weekend getaway and it was great! Tammy’s house is exactly as depicted, very clean and cute. The location is about 10 minutes from most things downtown which was very nice, and Tammy was super easy to contact. Definitely recommend.

Home "y" Base

We stayed during Spring Break and chose Chattanooga as a home base due to it's proximity to National Parks and Battlefields. There is so much to do here and it was fantastic having a place to call home during our stay. This house felt like a home away from home, the neighbors and Ms. Tammy were kind and welcoming. If we EVER have a reason to return to Chattanooga we know where to stay.

We spent a week at Thatcher Mill House and thoroughly enjoyed it. The house is very cozy and has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Tammy Hass, our host, was very friendly, and the Thatcher Mill house was just as lovely as she was. She certainly thought of everything to make our stay at the house pleasant. If you get a chance, take a walk in her garden across the road from the property behind her house. We enjoyed the garden and the city view. You can see the old Standard-Coosa Thatcher Mill property, which is currently being redeveloped for housing and retail. Chattanooga, Tennessee, is a vibrant city with a wealth of activities to enjoy. I loved Ruby Falls, Rock City, the zoo, and the aquarium; all were incredible. We had so much fun. Thanks, Tammy, for providing such a wonderful home for the week we were visiting there. It was so nice.
