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!

Enjoy your home-cooked meals at home around the dining table with seating for 4, or cozy up at the breakfast bar with seating for 2.

The master bedroom features a queen-sized bed, while the second bedroom offers a comfortable full-over-full bunk bed.

THE LOCATION
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.

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!

Wonderful home away from home.
We loved the quiet location, enjoying mornings on the porch surrounded by huge trees and chirping birds. Close to everything yet it feels like you are out of the city. St. Elmo’s is a nice part of the city.

Cozy cabin in a great location
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!

Great location and place!
This VRBO was a great place for our family of 6 to stay while in Chattanooga! I couldn't believe how close we were to all the attractions; each only 5-10 minutes away, and we could've walked to Ruby Falls! The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen equipped well for eating in every night. Appreciated the two baths with our crowd. Place is clean and in safe neighborhood.

Long Weekend at Chattanooga
We were traveling with two kids (4 & 1). This property is right on the side of Lookout Mtn. and convenient to Downtown Chattanooga so we could easily come back from morning activities for a nap and get back out in the afternoon, plus there weren't any city noises to interrupt early bedtime! The property was very clean and checking in and out was a breeze. We would definitely stay here again!

Lookout Mountain Experience
We loved how close this house was to Fly Lookout on Lookout Mountain. We enjoyed a day watching hang gliders take off the mountain, then retreated back to the house to relax and enjoy meals ordered from Grubhub and Doordash. The size of the house was perfect for us.
