Makin' Memories Bungalow (1340 sq ft) was originally built in 1919 and was an original Mill House, (one level) also known as a Shotgun House. I has had numerous add-ons over the last 110 years. The house has been totally gutted and remodeled with new electric, plumbing, and all of that good stuff! The Battle of Missionary Ridge was fought on this property, located on a 2 block street. I have found bullets, cannon balls, and shot when digging in the flower beds. I even discovered an old tractor petal when it was a farm and cow pastures years ago. My insurance will not cover pit bulls, chows, Rottweilers, or dobermans, or any mixed breeds that have these three. I live across the street and behind my house the gardens are located. It is an old 3 tiered lot with 2 ponds. One pond has goldfish and a Mermaid fountain. Sit and relax and enjoy the birds, views of Downtown and listen to the splash of the water taking your stress far, far away. The sunsets are wonderful as the sun disappears behind Lookout Mountain. It is convenient to the downtown area and all the hospitals. There is a FULLY FENCED IN back yard for your dogs. I am not able to offer military discounts. 2 miles to the Chattanooga Choo Choo. I own most of the neighborhood and still working on it. One lot at a time. It is in transition, but we all know each other. The city of Chattanooga is experiencing rapid redevelopment, economic growth, and what some call gentrification. This means that if you stay in the city, you are likely to be on a street with a wide variety of properties, ranging from very good condition, to fair, to vacant. In addition, there is great racial, cultural, and economic diversity with city residents. I live across the street and love it here, but it may not be for everyone. I want all guests to consider this prior to booking, so no unfavorable review result.
Please do not ask for a late check out. I respect that my cleaners have lives other than just cleaning my rentals. Feel free to stay another day. Thank you!

    Our family has stayed in quite a few rentals and this was far and away the best experience in terms of attention to detail for our comfort. Every need was anticipated and provided for, from the fluffy towels and fully stocked bathrooms, to the coffee and dishwashing supplies in the kitchen. So many items I usually bring along (hand soap, hangers, cotton balls and swabs, etc) were already waiting for us. The house felt clean and comfortable - a great spot to relax after the day's activities. We really enjoyed the back deck-it was a beautiful spot in March, and I can only imagine how lovely it is now that everything is in bloom! Tammy was a gracious host, and very responsive when we had an issue with one of the TVs. We would re-book in a heartbeat!

    A lovely home with everything we could ever need for our stay. We traveled with 3 kids (ages 1, 9 and 11) and our dog. It had the perfect set up for all of us, plenty of space, a well stocked kitchen, cozy back patio and fence yard and it was very clean. Tammy was a great hostess and popped in to introduce herself. We appreciated the attention to detail at the home and had a great stay!

    Christmas with my family. The kitchen had most of what I needed to cook a full turkey dinner. The living room was comfortable with throw pillows and blankets. We didn't use games provided by the host but used our own. Proximity to Hwy 24 made for some loud truck noises but we brought our white noise machines for sleeping so we barely noticed the traffic. It is a busy highway. Keep that in mind if you are a light sleeper.

    What a lovely house. Well decorated, well stocked!The porch was lovely. Although the sound of the highway was more apparent outside, you could never hear it inside.We would suggest sharper chef knives, and a check on the fridge. It was making some interesting sounds. But overall a great stay.

    We have stayed in many VRBO type rentals in the past 23 years (since we started traveling with our dogs) and we have never stayed in a property this clean and well-stocked. There were ample towels for everyone, basic kitchen supplies and so much more! The rental was furnished perfectly and the mattress in the master suite was extremely comfortable (our daughter and son-in-law said their mattress was great too). The area is convenient to everything and Tammy is a delightful host. We can’t wait to return when it’s cool and enjoy the porches and the yard. (The outside temp on this trip made it hard to do much outside.) Thanks Tammy!!

    While we were a bit skeptical of the neighborhood at first (we expected it after reading the listing) we were more than pleased with the neatness and cleanliness of the house. We had five adults and two small dogs and we all had plenty of room and a great weekend. The only small knock was the extremely narrow driveway and difficulty getting in and out of it in a truck. If the next door person parked in front of the driveway on the opposite side of the road, there was no way to get out. We got it figured out after a very polite conversation, but know that the parking situation is a little tight. All in all, we loved the place and would definitely go back again.

    We were beyond happy with this home and our wonderful hostess, Tammy! Her home was super clean, had all the amenities one needed, and was located on a quaint street that was SUPER close to UTC. The backyard is huge, and the decor outside allowed me to enjoy sitting out back. We always bring a fan with us when we travel, so I was super happy to find there was even a box fan. Oh- and my husband loved how hot the water gets. We look forward to staying in ANY of Tammy’s homes when we visit our child at UTC
