Property Description
Well-behaved dogs are welcome here — no pet fee, ever. We travel with ours, and we've designed the space with pet-friendly guests in mind. Built in the early 1900s, The Willow Suite has lived many lives: a boarding house, a halfway house, the offices of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and most recently a church. We fell in love with it, renovated it from top to bottom, and called it home for nearly three years. What you'll find is a house that honors its historywhile living beautifully in the present.

The Willow Suite occupies the rear of Willow House with its own private entrance. Climb three steps to the rear stoop, enter your unique code, and step directly into a large, fully equipped kitchen. The space has a great mix of historical character and modern touches: original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and a kitchen floor pattern that never fails to catch a guest's eye.

The kitchen flows into a comfortable living area with cozy seating, a desk, and a flat screen TV. The single bathroom is conveniently located on this level and is stocked with complimentary Public Goods shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion.

Upstairs you'll find two bedrooms. The first features a queen bed and a separate twin daybed, ideal for a small family or flexible sleeping arrangements. The second is another queen bedroom. Both rooms have closets, windows with blinds and curtains, and window units for supplemental heating and cooling. The beds are dressed with memory foam mattresses and custom headboards in Turkish fabric.

A vestibule between the bedrooms holds a full length mirror, extra linens, a water carafe, and commonly forgotten toiletry items. The Willow Suite has its own private entrance and you're welcome to enjoy as much privacy as you'd like.
The Willow Suite is 10 minutes from downtown and close to both I-24 and I-75.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome here. We travel with ours, and we’ve designed the space with pet-friendly guests in mind.

The Willow Suite is properly zoned and permitted by the City of Chattanooga as a Short-Term Rental. In a city where many listings operate without permits, booking with us means supporting a small family business that plays by the rules and contributes to the community.


Guest Access
Climb 3 steps to enter the rear stoop, where you'll find the guest door with a door lock keypad. This entry is at the rear of the house nearest to the alley. Your unique code will be sent before arrival.

Interaction with Guests
We live just a few blocks away and love meeting our guests. As a former Rotary Exchange Student, I've long believed that travel is one of the best ways to build connection and goodwill between people, and hosting is our small contribution to that.

Whether you have a question about the house, need a local recommendation, or just want to say hello, don't hesitate to reach out.


Other Details to Note
The Willow Suite is an older home with the charm and character that comes with it. The original hardwood floors creak and the windows can be drafty in colder months. Central air and heat serve both apartments in the house and is a shared system. The living room and bedrooms have window units that provide supplemental heating and cooling. Please do not adjust the floor vents. If you need temperature changes, just reach out and we can adjust the system remotely.

Ridgedale is a historic neighborhood in transition. It has genuine character and a strong sense of community, but guests looking for a polished or upscale streetscape may find it doesn't quite match that expectation. We love its authenticity, and we want you to arrive with an accurate picture of the area.

The house has two apartments with separate entrances. You will not share interior space with other guests. Please be mindful of noise — the other unit may be occupied, and pets are welcome on both sides, so you may have neighbors of the four-legged variety as well.

Two off-street parking spaces are available via the alley behind the house. Additional street parking is available along Chamberlain Avenue around the corner.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome at no additional fee. We ask that you follow a few simple rules so that the experience is good for everyone — including guests on the other side of the house, who may or may not also have a pet with them.

Please keep your dog leashed whenever outside on the property. There is no fenced yard, but two small parks are within a few blocks and there is open green space on the adjacent lot.

If you leave your dog alone in the unit, it must be crated. This is a firm requirement — an anxious dog in an unfamiliar space is the most common source of noise complaints in pet-friendly rentals, and we have guests next door.

Pet blankets are provided in the living room on the blanket holder. Please use them to cover the furniture when your dog is on the couch.

We use a privacy-safe noise monitoring device (decibel detection only — no audio recording) in the storage room between the two units. If sustained noise is detected, we will reach out to you directly and expect a prompt response. Continued disturbance may result in fees or cancellation without refund.

Maximum 2 pets per booking. Dogs and cats are welcome; other small caged or contained animals are fine — just let us know in advance. No reptiles or exotic animals, please. Guests are responsible for any damage or additional cleaning caused by their pet.

There is no laundry access for standard stays. Accommodations can be arranged for longer visits. Just ask.

Smoking, house parties, and loud gatherings are not permitted on the property. Unregistered pets are not permitted — if you’re bringing an animal, please let us know at booking.

At the back of the house there is a security camera and motion light that overlooks the parking area.

The Willow Suite sits on a main arterial road and some street noise can be noticeable.

Minimum age to book is 25 years old.

    I admit I booked this place last min on a whim while I was at work. So I didn’t fully read the description and realize that this apartment was part of their home until I had already booked it. But let me say it was never an issue! Apartment felt private, quiet, and like we were staying in single unit. Saw Kurt once while parking the car for a brief minute and he was very polite. The added coffee and tea was definitely a plus and having everything we visited near by. Cute home, thanks for sharing it with us for my cousin's 50th birthday!

    Cute renovation on an older home. The bathroom being downstairs with the bedrooms upstairs was a little tricky with young children but overall nice and well-stocked. The corner lot was unfortunately pretty loud with traffic (even with a sound machine) but thankfully the road traffic died down around midnight. Would stay again

    Nice, clean and comfortable property. As they indicate in their listing it is on a busy street.They welcome pets and there is a nice yard for pets to get outside under supervision.Home is well cared for. The bedrooms are upstairs and the bathroom is on the first level which is good to be aware of.Easy drive to the areas of Chattanooga you want to visit.Very responsive and easy to communicate with.

    We really enjoyed our stay here! The hosts were kind, easy to communicate with, and made sure we had what we needed. The house is very spacious—especially the kitchen, which was well stocked with everything we needed for meals. We also loved having both an upstairs and downstairs. It gave us space to unwind after the kids went to bed and to enjoy a quiet cup of coffee in the morning before they woke up.There are a few things future guests might want to know. There’s only one bathroom downstairs, which made nighttime trips a bit inconvenient. The home is pet-friendly, which is great, but you could tell—one of the blankets had some cat hair on it, and the couch had a noticeable smell that made it harder to use. We also didn’t realize before booking that it’s a shared house. The hosts stay on their side, and while they were respectful of our privacy, the thermostat is on their side as well. They were very responsive when we asked for temperature changes, but it would’ve been nice to have that control ourselves, especially late at night or early in the morning.The two upstairs bedrooms have window units that kept things cool once we figured them out, though they can cut in and out a bit. The location is convenient—close to downtown and the interstate—and there are a few great playgrounds and a coffee shop within walking distance. Just be aware that the house sits on a busy corner near a light, so traffic noise (including fire trucks) can be loud at times. The hosts thoughtful

    Super cute place that is within 15 minutes of everything. The dog blankets, bowls and towels were a great touch. We knew there was only one bathroom but didn’t realize it was downstairs (bedrooms are upstairs). This was tough with kids when they had to go potty at night. Downstairs gets hot but the AC units in the bedrooms work great. Very spacious with a large kitchen. They gave us late checkout so we could keep our dogs crated while we went to the zoo, which was very nice! Overall a great experience!

    Property his located close to downtown. Plenty of room for us. My wife and I met our son and his two boys in Chattanooga for a couple days. Large kitchen and two bedrooms. We are use to having everything on one floor, as most properties where we are from are single story. The two bedrooms were upstairs and bathroom was on first floor. Not a big deal until getting up in the middle of the night. LOL Those of us who are older will understand. Over all it worked out great.

    This was a great place to stay on a budget. It had intentional touches and the hosts do a great job of anticipating guest needs at this property. The check-in, check-out process were both very easy and we experienced great communication throughout the process. The listing doesn't mention that the space is shared with the hosts (at least that I could tell) and the property has a recommendation for quiet hours because the hosts and their children are sleeping on the other side of the wall. I'm sure we kept them awake at least one night with how rowdy our kids were on check-in night. It is definitely pet-friendly, but it was also pretty evident that animals had been present as there was still a good bit of dog hair and some of the linens/towels still smelled like dogs as well. All very minor issues that did not affect the overall pleasant and convenient experience on a budget. Would definitely revisit and recommend!

I wish the property had more than one bathroom but again it worked for us during our stay. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks.
