Welcome to Sit-A-Spell! This cozy, peaceful home has all you need to relax while also offering several of downtown Chattanooga’s attractions within walking distance. Conveniently located down a tree-lined road and about a mile from Coolidge & Renaissance Parks, the TN Aquarium, and sunset walks over the TN river on the Walnut St. Bridge. After a good night's sleep, wake up with a warm cup of coffee on 1 of 2 spacious porches while you map out your visit with our helpful guidebook.r>
The space
It is our goal to ensure that your stay is as memorable as it is comfortable as you venture out into the little city of Chattanooga that we love so dearly.

Located less than a mile away from Frazier Ave, Sit-A-Spell is perfectly situated to allow all of the conveniences of home with your friends and family, with all that Chattanooga has to offer just outside your doorstep. Within minutes, you will discover many downtown and Northshore restaurants, bars, coffeehouses, local artisan retail, salons, day spas, galleries, grocery stores, boutiques, museums, recreational activities, and entertainment attractions. The hardest thing will be deciding what to enjoy first!

The home boasts a large living room with seating for all anchored around an oversized coffee table, perfect for a round of monopoly or a pizza movie night. Each of the four spacious bedrooms are well appointed with layers of fresh linens, ample pillows, ceiling fans, and blackout curtains to provide the perfect setting for a late morning sleep in, or an afternoon nap. Wake up refreshed and enjoy complimentary shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion as you get ready to venture out, or enjoy a relaxing day in. Towels and linens are provided, as well as laundry detergent and fabric softener, should you find the need during your extended stay. Enjoy your morning coffee with the rising sun filtering through the trees on the back deck, or enjoy grilling dinner and cocktails fireside on the front porch as the sun sinks down over Lookout Mountain. You may just hear the whistle of the Southern Belle as it idles down the Tennessee River.

There are smart TVs equipped with Firesticks in the living room, master bedroom, and bunk room so you never has to miss that new episode of your favorite show. No need to worry about streaming issues. Chattanooga is known for many things, with Gig City falling somewhere near the top of the list.

In the kitchen, you will find everything you need to cook a delicious meal, or enjoy one catered in. We provide a coffee station with a coffee maker and electric kettle, stocked with all of the essentials including coffee, filters, black tea, and sugar. Cooking essentials such as organic olive oil, sea salt, and ground pepper are provided for your convenience. There are two dining options just off the kitchen so you can choose to enjoy your meal seated amongst the large picture windows, or al fresco on the back deck.

As parents of three young boys, we know a thing or two about keeping kids occupied. There are games, puzzles, and toys to enjoy. The backyard contains a two tiered playground equipped with a slide, climbing wall, and two swings. There's a baby gate installed on the back deck for when you'd like to keep your little ones out of the backyard. We've provided a full size crib and a pack ’n play with sheets for each, a high chair seat, and kids plates, bowls, cups, etc. For your peace of mind, outlet covers are available, as well as baby gates that can be found in the mudroom closet just off of the living room.

The two driveways provide room to park 4 vehicles. We have a luxury laundry room equipped with a full size front load washing machine and dryer, a farmhouse sink, an oversized pantry, and a beverage refrigerator.

The front door of the house is accessible with an August keypad for self check-in.

Please note that a flight of stairs must be climbed in order to access the home. This includes the front entry to the main level of the home, as well as from the back yard to the back door entrance.

We can't wait to have you as our guests and to share all that this great city we call home has to offer!

Officially certified by the City of Chattanooga as a short-term vacation rental.
(STVR-22-26)

Guest access
Guests have access to the entire home with the exception of an owner's closet in the upstairs hall bathroom.

One thing to note:
Our yard is fenced in, but is open to the next door neighbor's yard. They have two young children who occasionally wander over to play on the playground. They have no pets, so you won't encounter any animals within the fenced in yard.

    The home was even nicer than the pictures and all of the little touches were just the cherry on top! The playground was a huge hit with our kids and there was ample space for everyone to relax and unwind! My only caution to anyone looking to book with elderly or disabled folks would be that it is a very steep driveway and there is a full flight of stairs to get to the main level of the home, which was difficult for my 90 yr old grandmother, but not an issue for the rest of the group. Jennifer was also excellent at communication and responses were almost instant! I would absolutely stay here again!

    This property was perfect for us. The location was great, easy access to the downtown area, the zoo and the aquarium and even a trip to Rock City was easy. It was great having two master suites and the grandkids loved the puzzles and magna tiles and the outside play set. The living room fit all 7 of us and having the openness of the kitchen living and dining was awesome. Definitely recommend.

    11 out of 10!! Our stay was magical. The entire home was charming and cozy. We had lots of room and were supplied with so many extras that made meals in easy. Jennifer even left us a jar of local cookies that were beyond yummy. Strongly recommended to anyone who visits Chattanooga, whether you need the space (or not). We didn’t bring kiddos, but it’s well stocked for them too.

    This property is thoughtfully organized for the entire family. The advertisement accurately represents what is offered. The property is also very conveniently located to anything you might want to do in the Chattanooga area. We appreciated how many considerations were given for little ones. The property was situated perfectly for the needs of our multigenerational group. We appreciated how clean and comfortable the home was. In no time, it felt like home. The only recommendation that I have, noticing that the property had so many thoughtful accommodations for small children, is changing the internally facing lever door handle, on the door accessing the stairwell, to a doorknob. That recommendation certainly is not as elegant, but provides an extra layer of comfort for parents with tiny ones like us.

    Loved our stay in Chattanooga! This house was a really nice retreat for families. It was stocked with everything you would need and we felt like we were at our own house. The owners put thought into making it friendly for kids with the bunk room, books, toys, and play kitchen! We enjoyed the backyard and playset! The house was well decorated and clean and the living spaces were great for a weekend where we didn't leave the rental much! The owner was responsive to our questions, which is always appreciated. Thank you for a great weekend!

    The property was awesome for our 3 adult couples and 2 1/2 year old toddler. The property was well appointed and very neat and tidy. The whole place was comfortable with lots of nice comfy furniture and ceiling fans. The play structure and inside kitchen toys were appreciated by the toddler. Everyone raved about the place. It was very close (but not walkable) to everything we wanted. Anyone with mobility issues should be aware that you must climb steps to enter the home, the king bed is raised pretty high, and the back yard is steep. The host was wonderful with great communication. We'd definitely stay there again.

    Jennifer was a wonderful host before and throughout our trip. She gave us wonderful insight into how to maximize our stay in Chattanooga. We had a 60 year age span among our guests and Jennifer's accommodations were perfect for three couples, a toddler, and a baby. She's put so much thought into the house to make it very comfortable for families - particularly those travelling with children. We will plan to stay with her again when we return to Chattanooga.

    Wow! I don’t know where to start other than saying every aspect of this stay was wonderful. The communication was great and informative. Easy access to the home. SO very clean, tidy, and well-stocked. Even kid items: crib, reading areas, playroom, bunks, high chairs, etc. We had four kids, ages 2-5, and they absolutely had a blast and got to be together in the bunk room. A sweet welcome sign and cookies when we got there. The beds were so comfortable. Checkout instructions were clear and easy to follow. Overall a lovely and relaxing stay. Everyone loved this house!

    I wanted to visit Chattanooga with my family to experience Lookout Mountain and all that downtown has to offer. I was pleased to find out how close we actually were to everything. Great after a long day with the kids. The place was tastefully furnished and everything was clean. Streaming platforms on the tv's had guest accounts logged in so we could relax and watch movies at night. We felt right at home. There are two separate driveways so if you have a lower profile vehicle you're going to want to park in the left driveway. All in all...Great stay.

    We visited Chattanooga for my granddaughter’s baptism, so had 6 adults, a 7year old and a16 month old. The house was perfect for us. As everyone else has noted, Jennifer was a terrific host, and the house is beautifully furnished with much attention to detail, including things for the kids and comfy beds for all. It is true that there are lots of stairs inside, but the set-up of the house is great as are the nighttime views. We would definitely stay there again.

    We had a wonderful time on our girls getaway to Chattanooga and a huge part of that was because of this great home! Jennifer has made it warm and inviting. We spent our mornings sipping coffee on the comfortable upper deck, which was a treat. The kitchen is well stocked and they even included a cooler bag, with already cold ice packs and a picnic blanket in case you want to take a picnic to nearby Coolidge Park, which is on the river and a fun spot to watch the sunset or just hang out. Jennifer was a great host! Very communicative and even had a little bag of delicious cookies for us on our arrival! She included a list of some fun things to do near the house which is how we found out about Coolidge Park and a carousel there which we enjoyed reliving our childhoods as we rode. ☺️ In addition to being close to the Park, another plus about the location is there is a Publix a half of a mile away from the house. If we are in Chattanooga again, we will definitely stay here.
