Anniversary Getaway

We loved the cottage! Place was just as the pictures described. It was very quiet! When we walked in it smelled amazing. Bed was very comfortable! There was everything we needed available. Check in was simple. We were given clear instructions on how to get there. We took W road and my partner loved traveling down it. We will definitely be back!

Truly Wonderful

This place was AMAZING!! 1000%As a person with anxiety I have few minor mentions for other neuro-spicy or sensitive folks, but I'd definitely stay again! They left fresh baked bread from a local bakery & fresh bouquet of flowers! The house was so cute, clean, very homey & comfortable, excellent heat/air. Tons of towels, which I love!Little mentions:1. I drive a lifted Toyota and I barely fit in the drive. 2 cars will fit but getting out made me nervous I'd hit the house or something, but a 3 to 5 point backing up turn, I got out. 2. I was under the impression it was a gated/locking privacy fence, so I drove a more expensive vehicle but it's just a little open parking nook around a fence. 3. I worried all night because there was no major lock to keep people out with it just being the electric keypad. So I slept like 3 hrs total. Maybe extra locks aren't even allowed on Vrbo rentals, I don't know. 4. It felt like a former Mother in laws suite, or guest house, as in location to neighbors. So when you pull in, you'll know. They're older and very quiet. 5. The opening to the church parking lot in the fence could be very beneficial for extra parking but it made me nervous because having eyes on that spot is a little hard from inside.Again, AMAZING HOUSE & AMAZING HOSTS! It had everything you could want or need. I never needed the hosts help for anything but you can tell they want you to be happy. There's so much cute stuff about this place that I don't want

About the host

Hosted by Jerry Market, Debi Market

Host profile image
My wife and I moved to Signal Mtn, Tn in 2002. We are originally from Indiana. I was a pastor for 28 yrs, 14 here in Signal Mountain. My wife recently retired. We have two daughters, Sara and Jenny. Both our daughters are married. Sara is married and lives in Chattanooga area with three children. Jenny is married with one child and lives in Brooklyn, NY. Rachel's Place is a cottage that I completely gutted and remodeled for my mother when she moved in with us. However her dementia has accelerated to such a degree that she cannot live by herself. So she moved in with us and we made the cottage into a vacation rental. Debi loves to decorate inside and out. I love to work with my hands building things, taking something that has no value and making it into something. I love to read, Debi loves yard sales. I know while traveling sometimes you don't feel like neighboring, so we will stay out of your way unless you have a question or in need of something.
