Kathy's Kottage. Bungalow on the side of Missionary Ridge, Furry Friends Welcome

This house, just build in 2017, has all the amenities! There is a 2 dog limit. My insurance will not allow pit bulls, chows, Rottweilers or dobermans, or any of these mixed breeds. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms with granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. It has a laundry room. The hall bath has a tub/shower combo. Tile floors throughout. A romantic fireplace is in the living room. Smoking is allowed on the huge front porch, where you can relax and let your worries float away! Behind the house there is a fire pit, too. The Battle of Missionary Ridge was fought on these grounds. I have found bullets, cannon balls, and shot while digging in the flower beds. I live across the street and the garden is located behind the "eyeball" wall. It is on old 3 tiered garden with 2 ponds. Sit on the bench and listen to the Mermaid fountain splash as the goldfish swim leisurely about. The birds will help you leave your troubles behind or swing and just remember times gone by. You will enjoy fabulous views of downtown and watch the sunset behind Lookout Mountain. There is a 2 dog limit with a FENCED IN BACK YARD. There are 2 other short term rentals on the same block, Gray Gables and Ridgedale Roost, if you need multiple houses for big events. Come and see the flowering bulbs in the spring! I can not offer a military discount.

Fabulous trip

The house was great! It was very conveniently located to all of the activities that we wanted to do. The house had an AMAZING selection of toys for our little ones, and it was well laid out for 7 of us. The beds were very comfortable and the bunk beds were a HIT! Tammy was very easy to work with and made the stay so great! We will definitely return to this house again.

Great location and amenities!

This was perfect for our family. Tammy the host thought of everything. She has toys for kids of all ages. No need to pack up so much for a baby just ask her she provides so much. The homes she has are beautifully decorated. Very clean. It’s like your home away from home. She has a playground across the street for kids and other activities. She loves her flowers and the yards are beautiful. The fenced in yard in the back was great for our dog. Book this without hesitation. Thank you so much for everything. We are so glad you came to personally meet us. You rock!

Another stay at one of Tammy’s properties was a win. Our family enjoyed a home setting which was clean with a well-equipped kitchen and bath. Our family has enjoyed three properties on this street and we are grateful they are here for our football weekends.
