Minutes to the Zoo & Downtown! - McCallie Dugout

Summary:
Welcome to the McCallie Dugout; your trendy crashpad minutes from downtown! Not only does this fully remodeled home come with all the amenities and comforts of home, this first home also offers an awesome front porch, from which you can actually see the gates of McCallie School! 5 mins to Chattanooga Zoo, 10 mins to the Tennessee Aquarium and 15 mins to Ruby Falls. There are so many activities our city has to offer, you'll never run out of things to do and see! We hope to host you!

The Space:
You will enter the home through the front door with a code that will be provided to you at check-in. Once inside, you'll see the cozy living room with a large smart TV and a couch with a queen-pullout couch. Past the living room is the kitchen and dining area. The table with seating for 4 sits just off the fully-equipped kitchen that is ready for all your cooking needs! There are chairs in the living room which can be used for additional seating.
The master bedroom is on the left side of the kitchen. Here you'll find a king bed, desk and ensuite bathroom. On the right side of the kitchen is where you will find the rest of the bedrooms and bathrooms. The second bedroom has two full beds. The third and fourth bedrooms both have a queen bed. There is a shared full bathroom in the hallway.
The backyard is partially fenced and features a grill and picnic table!

PROPERTY AS DESCRIBED
The property was as described. The neighborhood is developing, but the home is centrally listing to all things Chattanooga. I would definitely stay again. A few upgrades in the bedrooms would be nice.

BEWARE
BEWARE! From Roaches to infested with ants to blood stains on the sheets and weird black bugs in the beds with water filling as you attempt to shower in the black mold covered shower our experience with Patriot Family Homes was a disaster in Chattanooga TN. Their customer service is just as terrible. They refused to refund me and my family and said that bug spray is good enough. They do not care about their customers at all! Sleeping on the side of the road in a box in the pouring rain is a better place to be than at any of their properties.

Great property neighhood suited for adults
We enjoyed our stay. The property was clean and well maintained. The host was very responsive. The neighborhood is best suited for adults and not young children. Would recommend to those traveling without kids.

Cute home
This property was great since we have a little one! She had plenty of space to run and play, and minimal kid-proofing was needed. The neighborhood was a little rougher than I realized... It got a bit loud at night, and we didn't feel comfortable playing in the yard... Otherwise, convenient location, and comfortable home!!

The rental worked for us, neighborhood scene was not desirable
the house and the amenities itself were fine. everything was new, functioning and kept up well. the neighborhood is just as others have reviewed and less than comfortable for a family with children. we did not let ours go outside to play. we had dogs with us and the back yard is not fenced in so just be aware. also for whatever reason the back yard had pieces of a loaf of bread strown about. some of the neighbors were up late at night with music and hanging out with friends but it was the weekend and they did not keep anyone up in our house. great place for an adult trip but would not necessarily recommend if you have younger children.
