Rachel's Place - Signal Mountain
Had such a great time! Would definitely come back!

TN River Getaway~10 min to Downtown Chattanooga
We were only staying for a weekend and we checked in on Friday evening. We were able to enjoy a firepit by the river and make S'mores. We were a large group of nine, and accommodations were great! Plenty of room!. The teenagers enjoyed the foosball table. Saturday it rained hard all day and evening so we explored Chattanooga . We didn't get to really use the river since it rained (and there were tornado watchs and warnings all evening) but we still had a great time!

North Shore Bungalow @ Coolidge Park
Excellent location with a great porch!

My family had a wonderful stay! The house was perfect for the five of us. We especially loved the large backyard and hot tub. There were tons of places to eat nearby plus a couple of Walmarts for groceries or other necessities. It was also very close to all the things to do in Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain. Lastly, the hosts were super responsive and very kind! We will check here first the next time we visit the Chattanooga area!!

Breathtaking views while enjoying the hot tub!
Absolutely love the cabin and view!! This was our second time staying. Very clean and cozy, perfect place to relax and recharge. Definitely recommend if you love a mountain view and peace. ❤️

Ridgedale Roost, where the location is the bomb!
We really enjoyed the house and it fit all our needs! We visited family and enjoyed time together at the house. The play area across the street was a highlight for our grandchildren. We enjoyed having a campfire out in the back yard. We would definitely stay here again!

Charming (*CLEAN*) North Chatt Home!
Well appointed with lots of things not normally included in Airbnbs but appreciated, nice high ceilings, good location, responsive host.

Elk Ridge No Sunday Check In 25 mi fromChattanooga
My first stay in a Grant Summit cabin. Absolutely thoroughly enjoyed it! A quaint beautiful cabin. It had everything us girls (grandmother, daughter in law and teen granddaughter) needed. I was pleasantly surprised that the cabin location was on an end which happened to be where the hot tub sat making it more private. So happy! Loved the esthetic decor, spectacular views and tranquillity! I will be a repeat vacationer.

Getaway in Heart of Southside -Flexbl Check In/Out
We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb in Chattanooga! The space matched the photos and description perfectly, making us feel right at home. The host provided excellent suggestions for local restaurants and activities, which enhanced our visit. The neighborhood felt very safe and was conveniently located close to all the fun attractions. Highly recommend this spot!

Tasteful Townhouse
Our stay was exactly what we were looking for. It was just a quick stop on a long drive and it was nice to have a clean, convenient, comfortable place to rest. I would definitely recommend staying here again.

Mountain Dale Retreat
Shannon was great! We booked last minute and we were able to check in as soon as we got to town. Beautiful view from the front porch. Such a great home for families. Clean and just as described

Star Cottage 4
Very cute and cozy! The cottage is very conveniently located to all the main beautiful hikes and attractions. Thank you for the great stay!

Rocky Face Beach House
We stayed at Jeff’s place while traveling home. It is about 3 miles off of 75 and it was convenient. Several dining options. It was fun to see all of the beach decor. They really went all out with the beach theme and we loved it.

Boho Bungalow | Pet friendly
This was a beautiful, peaceful home. It had a large, open yard for my dogs to run with plenty of indoor space as well! We will definitely be coming back on future trips.

Star Cottage 2
It was a simple, nice place that allowed for a quiet stay and drivable access to downtown Chattanooga as well as many hiking trails. Directions were easy, as were checking in and checking out.

Northshore Home, Next to Park, Hiking/Biking
Lynn's place was awesome but so was she. The home is clean, cozy and private in a very walkable neighborhood. The location is just a short drive from all the downtown Chattanooga landmarks and walking distance to beautiful trails and park nearby. Waking up to birds singing outside our windows each morning absolutely made our day. Lynn checked on us and made sure we were good and when I mentioned needing more supplies, she went above and beyond and drove over and left what we needed. I can't say enough good things about Lynn and her home. We'll definitely come back to stay here next time we're in town. Thank you, Lynn!

Your guide to Chattanooga
All About Chattanooga
The city of Chattanooga sits on the bucolic banks of the Tennessee River, backed by the foothills of the Appalachian Mountain Range and Lookout Mountain. This is a city that is as much about nature as it is about urban life, with museums, science centers, cultural programming, and a forward-looking tech-friendly streak. The terrain in and around Chattanooga is loaded with fairytale scenery, babbling brooks, and cascading waterfalls. Add a dose of Southern charm, and the city is a major draw for vacationing families, groups of friends, and even business travelers here for a work-play stay. Chattanooga’s neighborhoods are a patchwork of green parks and classic Victorian and Tudor homes; it’s no wonder that it’s nicknamed the Scenic City.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Chattanooga
Fall is the most beautiful time of year in Chattanooga, when the foliage bursts into bright shades of crimson and orange and the temperature is pleasant for outdoor activities. In September, the average highs reach 82 degrees Fahrenheit, with a low of 56. Come November, the highs hover around a balmy 62 degrees, and by December the visitors empty out as the colder weather blows in. If you’re looking for a scene, summers are popular but hot, sometimes unbearably so. July and August are the hottest months, with an average high of 88 degrees, though temperatures often soar higher than that. A high UV Index of 10 in summer means you should double up on sunscreen and bring protective sunglasses.
Top things to do in Chattanooga
Tennessee River Gorge
The Tennessee River Gorge is a breathtaking 26-mile canyon carved into the Cumberland Plateau by the Tennessee River. There are plenty of ways to experience this natural wonder, from renting a boat or raft to swimming or fishing. But the local favorite remains hiking the trails of Tennessee River Gorge that meander through meadows and forests to overlooks.
Tennessee Aquarium
Explore another world at the renowned Tennessee Aquarium. Stingrays, sharks, crocodiles, fish, and other underwater creatures fill the colorful tanks. It’s not only fish and amphibians that live here, but butterflies, birds, and invertebrates. Educational opportunities abound through informational sessions and programming at the IMAX theater.
Lookout Mountain
One of the gems of Chattanooga is the 2,400-foot Lookout Mountain, a captivating ridgeline a few miles from town. Choose from among three individually ticketed points of interest that provide ample opportunities for a full day on the mountain: Incline Railway, one of the steepest funicular railways in the world, in operation since 1895; Ruby Falls, the county’s tallest public underground waterfall; and Rock City, a hiking exhibit of surreal rock formations, native plants, and views of seven states.
