Perfect choice for our stay

This was our first stay in Chattanooga so we didn't know beforehand, but St Elmo is the perfect location. It has such a charming, quiet small-town feel, while being minutes away from all the sites. The vacation house is very comfortable and had everything we needed. We even checked out the cool playground across the street.I would love to visit Chattanooga again and would try to book this place and maybe stay a few days longer next time.

Great location, nice neighborhood

We enjoyed our stay, close to everything you need. Guess the only negative was the creaking, squeaking floor - especially in the shower. Hard to keep quiet when someone is sleeping.

Visiting family in St. Elmo

Location was perfect. We love the area. Loved listening to the children playing across the street in the park. The person living in the other side of duplex was very quiet. My only recommendation would be to update some of the pots and pans in the kitchen. The beds were very comfy. I would return back to this duplex if my family decides to continue to live in the area.

What a little gem!

As described. All you need for one or two ppl. Only downside is there are no functional windows, and I found myself really wanting some sunlight. But the owner has placed lots of convenient lighting all over, which was nice. The larger bed I found uncomfortable, so I used the smaller twin sized one which seemed to have a temperpedic-type mattress that was comfy. Such a cute space! Easy access to Savannah and Tybee. I'd come back!

Convenient and clean

After quite of bit of stress and frustration before getting to the house, due to no communication for check in, despite trying to get a hold for over two hours, we walked into a clean house. It had a nice smell walking in that helped with the cleanliness. The amenities were fair, though we were disappointed to see no back up roll of toilet paper like we are used to seeing. Especially since the roll that was there was not a brand new roll. If you do plan to cook like we did, know that while the kitchen is well stocked, the pots and pans are not the best quality and food will stick easily (even using oil). The house is in a great location, convenient to downtown Chattanooga and other areas. It is easy to get to Food City and Publix for groceries. The beds were some of the most comfortable we have stayed in from other places. Another perk was room darkening curtains in the bedrooms!

Such a lovely, clean place in a cute, historic neighborhood. We had plenty of space and a well-stocked kitchen. A top-quality park is just across the road and it’s just a short drive to all the tourist attractions downtown.

Nice place, but a few issues...

I arrived at about 4:10pm (after check-in start time), and there was a pile of dirty towels in the bathroom, and bedsheets were definitely used and scattered on the beds. No answer via Vrbo message for about twenty minutes, so went to the alternate text number, and she sent the cleaning crew to the Vrbo, arriving at about 5:15. No cleaning had been done between guests, and I was instructed to leave during the cleaning, but also was never messaged when they finished, which would have been helpful. Ant infestation during stormy weather was surprising and not fun, but they liked my coconut cookies. Hopefully the nest on the laundry room door is a mud dauber's and not a wasp's. Towel rack barely hanging on in bathroom. Shower floor makes loud snapping-type sounds at times. No messages were ever answered during my in-person stay via Vrbo inbox, which is the standard place to communicate. Normally I'm sure this is a great place to stay, but there was a lot lacking this time. Other than these issues, stay was overall fine. Improving communication, cleaning scheduling, as well as the small issues mentioned would go a long way for future guests.

Ideal location in St Elmo. Safe, clean, quiet, and convenient to downtown with added local attractions. For families with kids there is a nice playground across the street. Off street parking is an added bonus. Fully equipped kitchen.

Perfect location for Ironman 70.3

This property was a great location! Turns out it’s on the bike course for the Ironman 70.3 so my family and friends were able to cheer me on right from the front yard. Also super close to see rock city and lookout Mtn. Owners were very responsive. I would definitely stay here again.
