About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Lake Life!

The thing I love most about our home is our amazing sunrises. It’ll feel like you’re 1,000,000 miles from civilization when you’re just tucked away on a semi-private lake. Enjoy fishing, swimming, boating, floating, sun bathing, or just simply relaxing. We are only 10 minutes from shopping, restaurants, golf courses, parks and hiking, and several major wedding venues. We are 20 minutes from downtown chattanooga and major city attractions including Rock City, Ruby Falls, Chattanooga Aquarium, Chattanooga Zoo, Cherokee National Forest, the Ocoee River, and much more. Our lake season is limited to six months. April through October. You will always have amazing water views and sunrises, but water activities may be limited during the off-season.

We are pet friendly for smaller, house broken, cage trained pets, but please ask about our pet fee.

Come see why we love Chattanooga and choose to call Ooltewah our home. This is a private access basement apartment in my home. We live upstairs. But youll have all the privacy you want and need for a great vacation with your own driveway private entrance, and private hot tub, and fire pit.

Great lake house
We enjoyed ourselves. The property had everything we needed to have a great time and a lot of amenities. The host was quick to communicate, and the check in process was simple. We will attempt to stay here again in the future and hopefully we will be able to stay longer next time!

Awesome Stay
My husband and I were in town for a 60th Wedding Anniversary family party.....and what a perfect place this was for us to stay. The VRBO hosts invited us to join them on an unexpected boat ride one evening to enjoy the beauty of the setting sun in the sky over the river. And the rest of our stay was a true escape for my husband and I when we returned from family festivities to just relax and unwind in the pool and hot tub. It was just what we needed. We couldn't have asked for more. We highly recommend. Thank you!

Lake Life Lived Up
The apartment is the perfect size for 2. The hot tub was hot with a beautiful view. The pool was gorgeous. The sunsets were awesome. Ootlewah was quaint to explore, and a great distance from Chattanooga. Herby was very responsive and helpful throughout the whole stay. Would recommend to anyone looking for both the indoors and the outdoors in that Chattanooga area.

The place was clean and the owner, Herby was very friendly and easy to communicate with. The place was smaller than it seemed in the pictures. The hot tub took a few hours to work and the fire pit didn’t work at all.

We were there for a wedding at Howe Farms. All other attendees were 45+ minutes away. We were 12 minutes. It was fantastic! Loved the place. Would like to go back for a couple days away when we have time to use the pool and hot tub. They looked so inviting.

Not private
It was a beautiful home in a good area. It was not very private since you are in the basement and houses all around you. The bed was not comfortable at all. My partner had to sleep on the floor.

Refreshing
I was looking for a quiet getaway, I was the picture of the water and mountain and knew that was where I wanted to spend a couple days. I drive 5 and a half hours and WAS NOT disappointed. I’m not sure I can affectively describe the peace, tranquility and the sunset the first night was breathtaking. This would most definitely be a place I would recommend for either a solo trip to getaway from the business of life or a couple wanting to spend some quality time together.
