A very well maintained house. They put a lot of thought and effort into remodeling this home for vacation rentals. It is also cleverly decorated, which adds to its charm. A great location in relation to all the Chattanooga tourist essentials and it sits in a quiet, friendly neighborhood. It’s in an old part of town but it seems to be trendy to live in this part of town, based on the number of young adults with children walking/exercising throughout the day. I would definitely rent here again! 3 adults/2 kids on my visit.

Wonderful Stay at the Blue Gem
The Blue Gem lived up to our expectations and more. The house is just as cute in person as it is in the pictures. It was very clean and ready for our arrival. The beds are quite comfortable, and we all slept soundly. The neighborhood is adorable and a great place to walk. We took a few strolls on the Virginia Greenway, sometimes with the destination of coffee or a meal in St. Elmo. It's a five-minute walk to some hiking trails on Lookout Mt. The kitchen is truly well equipped for cooking. Oh, and I can't forget the backyard! It was a hot week, but we enjoyed the comfortable seating areas in the morning and evening. In addition to all of this, communication with the owners was a breeze. They responded quickly and helpfully to any questions. I highly recommend the Blue Gem!

Loved the Home!
Came with our five children ages 17, 15, 13, and two littles under 2! We also brought our small doggie. The house is stunning and the neighborhood friendly. Had adequate space and amenities. It was situated in a community close to absolutely everything we wanted to see and do and right down the road from stores and shops and attractions. The host communicated when necessary and wasnt at all unreachable or too much. We had to leave a day early bc of the heat and I had misplaced an important item at a nearby attraction that impacted the rest of our trip. They absolutely understood that when I messaged them. Would definitely stay here again if we ever find ourselves in the area.

We had a party of 6 and the home accomadoted us very well! The loft area was perfect for the kids. The bedrooms are great! It's rare to find comfortable beds in rentals but these beds were magnificent! The neighbors and neighborhood was superb! The host was responsive and communicated throughout our stay just to see if we needed anything! Never have I had that happen! Check in and check out policies are clearly communicated.

Great location
The Blue Gem is on a quiet street in a family friendly neighborhood where people walk/jog/bicycle. Great park a short walk away, grocery store nearby and easy access to downtown. We enjoyed views of Lookout Mtn from the front porch swing and sitting area in backyard. The house is very clean and the handcrafted woodwork and art throughout are so cool! We had everything we needed here to make our long wknd stay comfortable. Katie was easily accessible had we needed anything. Hope to stay here again in the future!

A true gem in an adorable community
We stayed for just a couple of nights, but it was the perfect spot for us. My three kids (ages 9-12) said it was their favorite vacation rental. We grilled meals, enjoyed the fire pit, rested well, and used it as a jumping off point for our adventures on Lookout Mountain and in Chattanooga. It was spacious and comfortable with lots of kitchen supplies! We will be recommending this stay and hope to come back soon!

Charming house & neighborhood
House was clean and exactly as listed; check in process was easy and there's a welcome binder for reminders of the process along with area recommendations. We have 2 littles and my mother stayed with us -- all had enough space. Kitchen & bathrooms were stocked, plenty of towels, and the outdoor space was lovely! We didn't need much but had to communicate with manager a bit and they were very kind. Only a couple cons -- the metal/iron staircase is a bit of a risk, but you just have to know what you're getting into. It's very narrow with the designs kind of sticking out (very easy to hurt yourself), and not easy to go up and down repetitively -- the 2 smaller beds were up there, which is also a tight space with an angled ceiling (my 4yo easily kept hitting his head so we had to adjust the mattress placement). But, we made it work and my kids were just old enough to handle it ok (6 & 4 - any younger and it would have been a major issue). The check out process was a little more than I'm used to, which makes me think this is a high frequency rental -- there were a lot of steps to do and I was afraid I wouldn't get them all right. I followed the instructions binder and the app notifications from the manager -- there are also instructions on the fridge but they must be outdated because it was inconsistent with the manager communication. Overall, great property, neighborhood and area, and management and would definitely stay again.

The house was warm and welcoming. The neighborhood it was in was a very peaceful area and great to walk around. We were also close to many of the attractions Chattanooga had to offer and we never had to drive far. If we visit Chattanooga again, this is the place we want to call home during our stay!

Great Little House
Right at the foot of Lookout Mountain. We chose the place for the ability to bring our doggo. Had to be in town for a funeral. The house was just right for the 4 of us and the dog. Location was central to most places we needed to be. House was very clean and unique. Lots of nice updates. Neighborhood seemed safe enough. Would consider staying here again, if we needed a nice place to crash in Chattanooga.
