Higher ground was the perfect well appointed space for our visit to Chattanooga. The privacy and outdoor space made for intimate and relaxing downtime. The host was quick to respond and communicated as needed without being disruptive. We appreciated the cleanliness and little extras that made it feel like home.
We really enjoyed our stay at Ms Storie place. We really didnât know we were up in the mountains, but it was a beautiful place to be. We will try to get this place again, because we will be back next year .
We stayed up on the mountain and it was an amazing experience. It was a little little more time and effort to get down into the city just cause youâre on the top of a mountain, but the quiet atmosphere is totally worth it.
We really enjoyed our stay at Higher Ground, it was everything we were looking for in rental. We most enjoyed the outside area/fire pit and the rental was very baby/toddler friendly! Tanna was great to work with and very responsive.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas vacation at Higher Ground! Our host, Tanna, was amazing! It was easy to communicate with her both before and during our stay. We contacted her for minor things like a question about streaming channels and her advice on restaurants and/or directions. She even suggested a lovely holiday light show for us to visit (we did and it was great).The home was clean and tastefully decorated. We loved the beautiful Christmas tree to help feel the holiday spirit. The home and property were exactly as described and as shown in photos. We hope to return soon in warmer weather so we can enjoy the outdoor amenities.
Spotlessly clean, comfortable place. Comfy couches and recliners, nice outdoor space and screen porch. Across the street from a convenience store, but shop down the hill if you plan to cook.
The house was very lovely and had all the ammenities of home. Tanna was a great host and communicated several times throughout our trip to ensure we had a great stay. She even made sure we were staying as cool as possible in the high heat. The rooms had extra fans in them which was a nice touch because due to the high heat the AC was having trouble keeping it as cool as we had set. She really thought of everything. I highly recommend staying here.
Great house! Had everything to make our stay feel like home! Outside had a fire pit with relaxing chairs, grill with picnic table and cooking utensils for hot dogs and sâmores and a hammock! Outside games too! Inside was decorated to make it feel like home. Plenty of cooking pots and pans to make meals. There were board games, WII system and games. Plenty of room to relax and enjoy! Enjoyed every minute!
The hostess has truly thought of everything a guest would need to have an enjoyable stay! Her pristine home is a delight and haven for weary travelers! The location is great too as it is close to many fun activities and very safe.
I was coming to the area to look at rental houses and booked this sweet house on a mountaintop. I was in such a hurry to snatch it up I accidentally paid for it twice. Not an easy thing to do and totally my own stupid fault. Tanna was a saint. She had never had to deal with givig a refund (of course, cause the place is perfect!), but she was patient with me and we learned together!! Multiple text messages and chats with Vrbo and we finally figured it all out. My trip was amazing, and being able to come back to a clean house with comfy everything after a long day of house hunting was a blessing. Our ONLY complaint was the traffic. Nothing Tanna couns do about that, but its a busy little mountaintop!!! Book Higher Ground! You won't regret it! Thank you Tanna!!!
Great place to stay to just relax or see area attractions
We went to Ruby Falls and Rock City Gardens both about 30 minutes away and hiking at North Chickamauga Creek Gorge Trailhead just a mile or two down the mountain from the house. It was a pleasure to come back to a clean, comfortable and welcoming place after a day of activity. The lawn is expansive and the sitting area was a relaxing place to hang outside.
The house was precious! I loved the theme of the different bedrooms and the thoughtful decor of each. It was so spacious and comfortable. The house had every amenity we needed, and then some! Tanna was in communication with us throughout and even warned us of severe weather coming in during our stay. If we were to ever find ourselves in Soddy Daisy area again, we would definitely book Higher Ground!
Great base for our sibling weekend with everything we needed
We stayed at Higher Ground for a sibling weekend and we all loved it there. The themed decor, comfortable furnishings, amenities, and outdoor space was perfect for the four of us. We enjoyed using the grill and boardgames one evening, then the fire pit and Adirondack gliders the other. We had plenty of space inside and the unit was very clean. The kitchen was well equipped, and we loved the coffee bar. It is a quick drive over to Chattanooga and less than 15 minutes to great hiking trails at big soddy Creek. The unit is well laid out for groups of adults or families. Our host was great to work with and check in was a breeze. We would definitely stay there again.
All the comforts of home, far better than a hotel would have been. Clearly a lot of care and thought went into preparing the property to be welcoming and accommodating of many, many needs. We were visiting family nearby, and really enjoyed coming back to use the fire pit on our last night.
House is beautiful, with a huge backyard for outside activities. And not that far away from the activities booked.
Well decorated and the owner was very accessible all the time.
We had a great time!!!!
The only thing is that the beds are super hard and high. I'm short and it was not easy for me to get on the bed. Also the shower on the main bedroom is very low and it's kind of difficult for a tall person like my husband and son, to use it comfortably.
If you are planning to stay make sure you are not going back to the house late, because the road is VERY dark and is up hill in the mountain.
This cozy comfy nicely decorated home was a welcome site every day we came back to it after long HOT days of training with horses. The coffee bar was such a treat, everything you need you will find in the kitchen, phone and lap top chargers were provided, the beds and couches felt like home, the yard/fire pit are beautiful, every detail was attended to with love and thoughtfulness! If we ever come back, this home will be where we stay!
Wish we could have stayed longer but everything was perfect....there's even a little food mart within walking distance if you forgot something. The kids had a blast chasing the fire flies.
Tannaâs property is absolutely lovely! The drive up the mountain is fun, and a bit exciting driving down again too. The house is well situated with a large circle driveway, the description matches the amenities perfectly. We had plenty of room to stretch out in three bedrooms. Wi-Fi was excellent, never had an issue connecting. Check-in was easy, Tanna communicated everything we needed to know and was very responsive. Itâs decorated beautifully with a well-stocked kitchen, board games, Wii, movies and TVs. A board of favorite local sites is available. I would highly recommend this property, itâs an easy drive into town, only 10-20 mins to most places. Chattanooga (downtown and airport) easily accessible.
