One of our best vacations ever - terrific hosts, terrific accommodations, terrific location and terrific Chattanooga attractions! Overall, terrific. Would recommend to others.
Overall we had a great stay! We loved the accommodations as each couple had their own room and bathroom. This home is on top of a mountain and has wonderful views very nearby. The only problem we had was poor communication with the host. We reached out a few times before our stay and once during and never heard back. Would recommend this home to any large family or group looking for a quite rustic stay.
A great property for our three generation family Christmas in January. There was even a beautifully decorated tree in the living room. With three levels, there was plenty of space for eight adults and three toddlers. The fireplace was an added bonus
We had a wonderful stay at this mountain house. We were close enough to the downtown Chattanooga area to go do things, but far enough away to be in a quiet area.
Beautiful home tucked away on a mountain road. Nicely decorated, well stocked, comfortable beds and a great fireplace with wood provided, all made for a wonderful stay to catch up with long time friends.
We enjoyed the kitchen as well as eating in Chattanooga at some nice restaurants. It was about a 30 minute drive and we spent a lot of time in the city. The house was very comfortable. All the beds and bathrooms were well equipped and nicely done. We played some of the board games that were provided by our host and had a wonderful time!
What a great place to be still and reflect. Quiet, peaceful and yet close enough to get out and enjoy nature and the city. Highly recommend this place.
We thoroughly enjoyed this property and were able to relax and have some fun after exploring Chattanooga! The house was clean and there was something for everyone to do (games, good furniture to relax in, etc). Our family really enjoyed playing frisbee outside in the evenings! We were disappointed there was no hottub (it was still in the lsiting when we booked but there werent pictures, so I assume its been gone for a while but it is listed in the amenities still, just in case it happens to nyone else! Pur toddler thoroughly dnjoyed the very large bathtub upstairs and "swam" in it most evenings! Thank you for opening upur lovely home up, it was a wonderful visit and your attention to the little details affed so much to the gorgeous property!
We had a family vacation with 7 adults and 4 children. Everyone had ample space, the kids enjoyed playing outside and with the provided games. Host responded quickly to small issue and corrected it.
Simply the best stay we've ever had and the nicest hosts
So let me start off by saying I got the dates wrong for for our stay. The hosts were so accommodating and kind and trying to work with us. He's probably the only reason my wife and I are still talking:-) their home is absolutely gorgeous and one of the nicest areas of Chattanooga. If I could have I would have stayed a month. The home was clean very, very well equipped, and gave you a sense of Mountain life with all the amenities.
This is our 27th year (28 stays) for our family beginning with our parents, my 4 siblings and their spouses. We have continued on with the tradition started in 1997 after our last parent passed in 2010 by expanding our destinations beyond a 4-5 hour drive from greater Cincinnati.
Susan was a tremendous host and was extremely responsive in addressing our needs. The home was well suited for our now 7 (3 couples and one widower) except when we were preparing meals, then the kitchen got a little tight but overall the place was as-described. The earlier reviews helped in selecting this place and the location on top of Signal Mountain was breathtaking (though the views across the street were blocked by mature trees.
Everything was within 30-40 minutes away: downtown Chattanooga, sites on Lookout Mountain, Micro-breweries and Distilleries but not being local to the area, going up/down the mountain meant earlier evenings which didn't bother us at all since we cook breakfast/dinner in.
We would have wanted to take advantage of the built-in outdoor fireplace but the weather was a little too warm for us to enjoy. The side porch was an early morning and evening place to gather as a family to discuss the day's events as well as "just catching up" with each other and their families.
My wife and I are planning on returning to the Skagg's home on Signal Mtn. with our daughter, grand/greatgrand children next year. The local haunts: Rock City, Ruby Falls, Incline are all worth visiting
The house was really nice, and owners tried to fix issues. However, we couldn't use the bottom level do to caterpillars/worms every where. We kept sweeping them up but they just kept coming and headed upstairs. They tried to fix a mysterious leak, and we had to go from level 1 to level 3 to use bathroom with the worms:( The dishwasher and oven were filthy, and house wasn't cleaned the best either. The dishwasher had food in it and no dishes in it, so I don't know why it was dirty? It showed a view from the master suite, but no view.
The property is spacious with 5 bedrooms. Bathrooms lack vanity space and the main floor bathroom sink needs updating. The size worked for our family. The owner was very nice and helpful with any issues we had.
This is our second stay at the property. I wouldnât hesitate to stay again. Itâs perfect for a group. Host is very responsive and helpful. All of their efforts are very much appreciated. Itâs a beautiful place.
Our family loved it! Each bedroom had their own bathroom! Camp feeling but house amenities. Wish we had more time to explore the area as many locals played in the creek / water area leading up to the house. Great communication beforehand - they gave us a list of items to do and answered questions.
We also loved the porch and fireplace! There were a lot of wood bees on the porch âŠ. They didnât bother us but kids were a bit skiddish.
This property is not as secluded as it appears in the pictures. We didnât ask if there were close neighbors, so thatâs on us. House is very close to the road and other houses. Beds are comfortable and house is spacious.
We really enjoyed this property. The house was beautiful and had more than enough room for our family of eight. It was very clean and comfy and the atmosphere was just what we wanted. The house also had everything we needed for our stay. Thank you for your hospitality!
Our visit here was really nice. The cabin was clean and well furnished. It was a kitchen and living area was smaller than anticipated from the pictures. We had 11 perks. So we could not all get around the table easily nor we we all sit together in the living area. Sleeping area were great. Plenty of beds and bathrooms. We had a fire two nights and there was wood available. Easy access to local grocery and Walmart.
We enjoyed our stay.
Overall, we were very pleased by our stay here. The location was great, the home is gorgeous, and the host communicated greatly. The only downside to the stay was that the property furniture needed a little fixing. Just a damaged chair here and there that we had to be careful not to use. The host said theyâd address those things so I think this issue will be cleared up for future guests.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The home is beautiful, cozy, clean and even prettier than we expected! Itâs a great property for families, and we enjoyed each room having its own bathroom. The fireplaces were nice, and the home had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again!
