Brilliant Southside Home on 2 Acre Park + Pet Friendly
Enjoy the best of Southside restaurants and downtown attractions within walking distance from Chattanooga’s first LEED certified home. Sustainable + Efficient design across the street from park, playground & pavilion. Plentiful + free parking. Perfect for families vacationing, visiting relatives or participating in Ironman/Athletic competitions or work remotely with the fastest residential internet - The Gig!
Entrance to the home is through the front door equipped with door code lock. On street parking is free of charge. For parking, we ask our guests to not park in the driveway as it is a shared driveway, you may park either in the spot direct behind the home under the basketball goal or directly in front & along the chain link fence.
Behind the house there are train tracks. Trains come though night and day. The trains can sometimes be heard (a very low hum) or sometimes they will clank together or squeak. To help with this, we have white noise machines beside all the beds. They work well and guests report they drown out any noises so you can sleep without interruption. There are two settings on the white noise machines (high and low). I have also provided complimentary single use ear plugs.

Home was perfect for city and hiking exploration. Many walk to restaurants and park was a plus for our dog! All the amenities and host is fantastic. Would stay again!
Perfect location, super cute rental, & owner is fantastic!
The owner is fantastic and told me about the cutest, locally owned book shop/coffee house, the house is super cute with parking in the back, so you’re off the street, the location is in close proximity to everything you’d want to do in Chattanooga, its reasonably priced, comfortable, very clean, and I WILL be back to stay here again! :)
The owner was easy to communicate with and very helpful. This house is a short drive to Lookout mountain and downtown Chattanooga. Great for exploring the city. The owner has everything you need for your stay. Loved it
The property was wonderfully clean, well apportioned, and though driving to it felt like we were passing through a sketchy neighborhood, we actually found it to be quiet welcoming and felt safe with parking our vehicle behind the property. The owner warned about train noise, but also supplied noise reduction items. The trains ran constantly it seemed, but were surprisingly quiet within the property. The park was small but the dogs loved walking around it, and if you don’t mind some mileage, you could walk to food in the city pretty easily. The owner was very responsive. We would definitely stay here again.
Jennie was a great host that made sure we had what we needed. The place is even better than the pictures. The location is great and the people around the neighborhood are extremely friendly and nice. Parking was easy and convenient. The park is a huge bonus for dogs and kids. Great stay!
We stayed at the Southside Home for 5 days and it was the perfect layout, location and home! We enjoyed the park across the street every afternoon. The kitchen came with everything we needed to make breakfast and dinner. I recommend anyone coming to visit Chattanooga stay here, whether it be with family with littles or a group of friends!
Great house to explore Chattanooga. Well decorated, comfortable beds, and walkable to some cool bars and restaurants. Very attentive and responsive host. One of the best VRBO experiences we’ve had.
This rental was super clean and had all the little touches…from trick or treat candy for the neighborhood, to a sound machines/earplugs in each bedroom, to a perfectly appointed kitchen we had all we needed and then some for a perfect stay. We also appreciate the local recommendations…they did not disappoint. We will be back!
House is in a great location close to plenty of restaurants. Park across the street was nice for morning run. Quiet, clean neighborhood-house was fantastic. Jennie was thorough with info and was available throughout the stay for any questions.
We really enjoyed staying here! The decor was on point and the place was walking distance from great restaurants! Perfect for our family! This was a great place to stay!!💛
In a part of town that is rebuilding. Lots of great properties. Convenient to downtown. Lots of great eats close by. Host was amazing! Quick responses and great suggestions. The accommodations worked perfectly for our stay. Couldn’t have been more pleased. The railroad is very close to the back of the house and very active but it did not disturb our sleep.
Amazingly spacious, comfortable, stylish, pet-friendly home - definitely a keeper for future stops over in Chattanooga. Check-in was stress free; communication was exceptional; and location (across from a dog park) was convenient. Truly enjoyed our stay - thank you!
Excellent location in Southside. Easy trek to university and walkable to lots of businesses and restaurants. My family enjoyed our stay

Beautiful home conveniently located to everything. The park across the street makes for a nice place to walk off the great meals you can enjoy at the many great restaurants less than a mile away.
This is such a beautiful house in a beautiful area! It’s is within walking distance of downtown and is perfect for walking to breweries. This area surrounding the house was well kept and family friendly area. If you are staying in Chattanooga this is the perfect place
We really enjoyed our stay at Jennie’s. Super clean and comfortable and well designed. We loved walking to the fantastic restaurants and breweries and our dog loved the park just out front. The white noise machines were a thoughtful addition as were the earplugs as it does back into the train track. Jennie was lovely to deal with and we are already looking forward to returning next year!
