Bear House 1890, Johnson Retreat, Mins from Downtown, Perfect Luxurious Getaway!

Incredible place! Very clean, nice and quiet, full of amenities. The hosts are wonderful, would definitely stay again and recommend for families visiting Nooga

The house was great, as well as the hosts. St Elmo has everything you need in restaurants and grocery stores. We had a great experience.

Clean and decorated nicely for Christmas. Fun place to stay with friends.

Host was very welcoming, quick to respond to messages and had numerous suggestions for things to do in the local area. The living area was cozy, the beds very comfortable. Kitchen was stocked with plenty of appliances and cookware for eating in, and having a washer and dryer was convenient. Comfort stations in the dining area were a welcome suprise for coffee, tea, and snacks. We will definitely be reaching out to stay again next time were in the area

The host was great! They even left us tickets for an event in town they knew we were going to the next day.

The owners have thought of every detail to make this a comfortable stay. We had a large group with four grandchildren, and it was a wonderful experience. Comfortable beds, nice dishes for a large group, the fanciest toaster I’ve ever seen, laundry, and a very charming home.

Very clean and extremely well stocked. Central to lookout mountain.

This is my second time staying with Steve and Sharmane. Such a comfortable, beautiful property. It’s conveniently located to everything you need. The hosts are always so kind and welcoming.

Wonderful spacious historic home! We had the two combined 2nd floor apartments which was plenty of room and privacy for 5 adults and 3 small children. Very relaxing to enjoy our families together. Very close to all the major attractions and restaurants.

What a fantastic place and never have I stayed somewhere where snacks, coffee, water and so many other things were provided. Certainly will be back.

Wonderful house, so well equipped and with all the details taken care of from coffee creamers to spices in the kitchen!

We had a wonderful stay and any questions we had were answered right away. Check in/out process was simple. This property was more than enough room for our party of 8.

The host warmly greeted us and gave us instructions and helpful tips to make our stay at the Bear House easy breezy. The house and the grounds were filled with character and attention to detail and ambiance were admirable. The location was walkable to restaurants, a great wine store, coffee shop, and a supermarket. Our family had nothing but great things to say about our stay and we can safely recommend the Bear House for anyone looking for a home away from home in Chattanooga.

We had a great time at the Bear House as the location for a family celebration. Beautiful property and the hosts think of everything you might need. Our favorite place to stay in the Chattanooga area!

What a relaxing weekend! Every detail was attended to - the property, inside and out, was without flaw! St.Elmo is a quiet, quaint neighborhood close to everything! We will return!!

Our stay at this charming old house was truly a unique and memorable experience! While the house has a lovely vintage feel, it is full of character and history, which made our time there feel special and nostalgic. Every room was filled with beautiful antiques, and the creaky floors and quaint details gave the house a warm, inviting atmosphere.Though the house may be older, it was very well maintained, clean, and comfortable. The kitchen had all the necessary appliances, and we loved the cozy living areas where we could relax together. The vintage furniture and décor added such personality to the space, and it was clear that the owners have taken great care to preserve the charm of the home.What also made our stay unforgettable, was spending time with the owner, Steve. Steve is extremely knowledgeable about the area and is a pleasure to sit and visit with. His hospitality went above and beyond and he made us feel welcomed and ensured that every detail was taken care of. I would encourage anyone to stay at the Bear House

We stayed at The Bear House over Thanksgiving weekend and truly enjoyed our stay! We were visiting our son and his family for the holiday and we were only about a one minute drive from his house. The check in process was very easy - I met one of the owners and she is a lovely lady that made us feel at home. The house was decorated for Christmas and was very charming! We loved the all the little extras such as the coffee bars and snacks. This house has all of the charm you could want- we would love to stay here again some time soon!

Everything was great...location was convenient.

Beautiful place and comfy. So many things we needed, candy in each room, flashlights in each room in an emergency and even a first aid kit. The place was beautiful outside as well! Lots of relaxing sitting areas and close to everything. Our family of six had plenty of space upstairs and the beds were comfy as well!! We will come back!

The Bear House was a delight to stay in. Too many extras to name. We would highly recommend to anyone.
