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, 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.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace. There's a private balcony or patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a water park or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

A Peaceful Respite for Gathering and Healing

Under the most heartbreaking of circumstances, our family found solace and comfort at Kathy's Kottage. We traveled from both coasts for a Celebration of Life in Chattanooga, and this beautiful home provided a much-needed sanctuary. From the moment we stepped inside, we felt a sense of peace and warmth. The Kottage was impeccably clean, thoughtfully decorated, and exceptionally well-equipped. The fully stocked kitchen, which became a central gathering point for our family, allowed us to prepare traditional family recipes, providing a sense of normalcy during a difficult time. We were especially grateful for the pet-friendly policy and the secure, fenced backyard, allowing our four-legged family member to be with us without exorbitant fees. The location offered the perfect balance of convenience and tranquility, with easy access to major roads and grocery stores, yet far enough removed to allow for quiet reflection.Tammy, the owner/property manager, was responsive and thoughtful to messages and on the day of arrival, popped by for a quick minute to ensure we had everything we needed. Kathy's Kottage offered more than just a place to stay; it provided a haven of comfort and support during a challenging time. We wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting Chattanooga.

Cozy long weekend

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cozy and comfortable home. The house was fully decorated for Christmas! It was such a wonderful surprise! It was very nice, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing visit. Just to note, the yard is not directly accessed by a door - there are a few steps to reach the gate. The street itself felt safe and pleasant, but be aware that there are some homeless individuals in the nearby area. It wasn’t an issue for us, but it’s worth noting. Just be sure to read Tammy's full description of her property. She was an amazing hostess! It was a great stay, and I hope we are able to visit her lovely home again.

Wonderful bungalow and even better host. The gardens across the street...chef's kiss! You need to book one of these cottages for a girls weekend, a gender reveal, a birthday celebration, a the celebration of the bride to be. We did and it was incredible!

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT FOR FAMILIES!!!

One of the most thought out rentals we’ve stayed at!! And trust me, we stay at a lot with travel soccer and for vacations. My 3 year old LOVED the toy closet, the potty training seats, and swing set. I loved the little details like the history of the house book, qtips and cotton balls in the bathroom ( because who doesn’t forget to pack those), and restaurant menus. Super convenient location. And the owner was GREAT with communication and even stopped by for a friendly chat. I loved hearing about the history of the area and her beautiful job of bringing back the entire street to life! Will for sure stay here again when in the area!

Great place for a Chattanooga get away

This place is so cute & very clean. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking a few meals. We traveled with our young grandkids and really appreciated all the games, toys and basics for them. The location is convenient for getting downtown or up to the mountain sites. A car is definitely needed.

Wow! Best cottage ever!

I have stayed in lots of rentals but this one was absolutely the best equipped I’ve ever stayed in. When we walked in the door, it looked like a true home. Everything you could think of was there. Plenty of towels, toilet paper, blankets, throws, etc. There were also games, books toys, just about anything you could want for your kids. On top of that everything was clean and well organized. The kitchen was very well equipped for any thing you would like to cook. Even included lots of pantry, basics, such as coffee and creamer, condiments, flour, sugar, foil and plastic wrap. Tammy has thought of everything and supplied it for you.

Kathy’s House Is Gorgeous

We were extremely impressed with this house from the moment we drove up clear through the minute we drove off. It is simply gorgeous and inviting at the same time! The first thing you see is an inviting out front porch sitting area with cushions that seem to say “Come sit and relax”. The area around the house is beautiful and peaceful… always felt safe! Tammy came over the next day to introduce herself and see if we needed anything. A very delightful hostess! Very friendly and informative. The house is beautifully furnished… well decorated and it’s obvious that a lot of love and planning was put into decorating this house. The rooms are spaced out nicely. We had 4 adults an one 14 year old man child who loved the room with the stacked double beds! Tammy supplies everything that you could ever think you might possibly need and I seriously mean that… we wanted for nothing! It was also very clean and well taken care of. I would HIGHLY recommend this gem and hostess! Thank you Tammy for everything. Judi
