We had a great stay! It was very well stocked. We had one small repair needed and the host sent someone out right away. - Mindy, May 2026



We had a wonderful extended stay here. We settled in right away as this home was very comfortable and well-equipped. The beds, linens and towels were good quality. The Northshore area was fun with some excellent restaurants that were walkable. When I return to Chattanooga, I hope this home will be available. - Jeff, Dec 2025

Visited with my family and some relatives = 9 people, and the home accommodated us perfectly. Everything was exactly as described if not even better. The home was well stocked and perfectly cleaned. The hosts communicated quickly and thoroughly through the trip and were always friendly and willing to help. The neighborhood is private, quite and clean. I highly recommend this place and cant wait to return again. - Agostino, Aug 2024

    We had a great stay with the family at this property. I was a bit concerned it may feel too small but the open concept floor plan and high ceilings made it feel super roomy. The hosts were very responsive and flexible and the beds comfortable. Super easy access to downtown and a perfect location for the family. Would absolutely stay again!

    This house is in a perfect location, close to great restaurants, Clumpies Ice Cream, playgrounds as well as museums. The house was clean and well equipped with all kitchen necessities (Whole Foods is also a 10 minute drive) so I was able to cook all of our lunches and breakfasts. All and all, a wonderful stay and I'd gladly stay again when visiting the Chattanooga area.

    We were thrilled to find this property. It was in the neighborhood we wanted, close to family we were visiting. Once we were there, the house exceeded our expectations. Everything we needed was there - stocked kitchen, extra linens, books and games, laundry, you name it. Plus the vibe was so welcoming. Beautifully decorated and fabulous front porch with swing. We can't wait to come back!

    We had an excellent stay at the Swallowtail. We were originally booked at another property but that property had a water leak so we had to be moved. But we were not disappointed! There was plenty of space in this home. We especially enjoyed the front porch swing. It is in an excellent location- close to anything you would want to do during your stay. We were able to walk to get ice cream at Clumpeys. 5 stars for sure!

    We came to Chattanooga for a family weekend away with my son and granddaughters. Swallowtail was absolutely perfect for us—plenty of space for the adults, and a fantastic bedroom with huge bunk beds for the kids. They were over the moon with how cozy and welcoming their room was. The entire home had nothing lacking; we had plenty of pillows, bedding, the kitchen was fully stocked with all the necessary items, (and then some!) and a full laundry made for a perfect weekend. We were able to walk to the Northshore for lunch, ice cream, for the kids to play in the park, and enjoy the sunset over the river. The home is just a short drive across the river, or if you wish, walk across the walking bridge (+/- 2 miles total) to get downtown to Ross’s Landing, the Children’s Museum, and all of the amazing thing to do downtown. We had an absolutely wonderful time and are looking forward to coming back again.
