*This property has recently been launched under new management and the following reviews were submitted by prior guests:
"This was our first time renting a home instead of a hotel... we will never get a hotel room again! It was so nice and clean! It was within minutes of all the things we were doing in Chattanooga. The pictures are exactly what the house looked like." -Erin G., Jul 2023
"Nice house, convenient to UTC. Took care of our needs and loved the covered back porch and fenced in yard." -John G., Nov 2022
"Cute property in a quiet neighborhood. This house was precious inside and out, the perfect place to stay for a weekend meeting up with our adult children to hang out in nearby Chattanooga. The six of us were very comfortable here -nice sleeping arrangements and the back porch was a plus in the cool weather so we ate dinner there one night! I highly recommend this location." -Pamela W., Oct 2022

Explore the many attractions in and around Chattanooga, from historic landmarks to indoor and outdoor adventures. Learn about Rossville’s rich history, once a bustling community fueled by Peerless Woolen Mills, founded in 1905 and the primary manufacturer of blankets during World War II and the largest single-unit mill by the 1950s. While no longer in operation, today guests can enjoy a peaceful retreat while still being close to all the excitement Chattanooga has to offer.
