Ray's Place on Lookout Mountain

Summary:
From the back deck you can see 3 states! Gigabit speed wifi is available to all guests, along with Fiber Optic 4K HD TV, fireplace, outdoor fire pit, BBQ grill, 2 full bathrooms, 3 beds, nice kitchen with brand new appliances, BOSE surround sound for incredible movie watching, washer & dryer, and a million-dollar view. Chattanooga 20 minutes, Cloudland Canyon, Rock City and hang gliding all within 5-13 minutes. Very safe area, & onsite security. Undeclared guest fee of $50 per night for each undeclared guest will apply.

The Space:
When you walk in the front door you will experience the total awesomeness of the place. The wall facing the valley is all windows, made especially to enjoy the view. The deck is made of a composite material, so you will never get a splinter while enjoying the evening view barefoot. There's a swing downstairs to enjoy while watching one of our amazing, stellar sunsets. A hammock is available if desired. There's a breakfast nook to wake up with morning cup of coffee and write, or read, or just take in the beautiful sunrise. Pull up your local newspaper on the free WiFi, or YouTube music/videos, and start the day right. Brand new Courtyard with fountain and Butterfly sculpture bench. This is a townhouse twinned with the neighbor, but all the property's spaces are for your private use.

Please note
Exterior security cameras are in use.

Guest Access:
You will have the entire house, (upstairs 1 bedroom, 1 full bathroom & downstairs is a bedroom, sofa bed, and full bathroom), except for the garage, and my office. After all, I have to have some place to put my stuff. I live here when I'm not out of town working. The key pad is located behind the big sun security door on the front porch next to the road. Open the security door and the keypad is located behind it on the inside door. The door is custom, and brand new, so the handle is a little stiff to turn. It is not locked, just turn it. You will see the keypad, enter your code and turn the handle. Don't push the LOCK button after entering your code. That simply locks it back. If you push any of the buttons, they light up so they are easy to see at night. There's a Ring door bell if you need anything--it will ring on my phone and I'm happy to help you if necessary.

The Neighborhood:
Very safe, quiet, and friendly neighborhood. Many places to hike. Bicycles are always riding around here and challenging themselves with Burkhalter Gap road coming up the mountain. On a good day for flying you'll see hang gliders making runs to the point of the mountain, and back. Scenic highway paints the picture for the area. The mountain faces NW so you will always get to see a spectacular sunset (unless it's raining or overcast, of course). Free internet with a GIG download speeds. If you're looking for cabin rentals on Lookout Mountain, you've come to the right place!

Getting Around:
Scenic highway is just outside the front door. It's also called Hwy 189, Hwy 157. Interstate I-20/I-59 is only 10 minutes away, Hwy 24 is only 20 minutes,, Hwy 136 is only 12 mintues. Both Rock City, and Ruby Falls, are only 13 minutes. The Tennessee Aquarium is only 26 minutes. All the best restaurants are less than 25 minutes away!! Covenant College is only 5 minutes on the same road as Ray's Place is on. Downtown Chattanooga and all the night life is about 26 minutes.

Other Things to Note:
There's a book with all the details of what you can expect from me, and what I expect from you (i.e. the do's and don'ts). I have a lung condition that prohibits me from having pet dander. I LOVE animals, but some people just can't tolerate some of them. Please read the guidebook!

Also, the front of the house has been paved for parking and easy access to the front porch. Or, you can park in the driveway to the side of the house. 6 solar lights illuminate the front porch at night for help getting up the stairs.

I've just designed and created a new courtyard in the front. This includes a butterfly sculpture bench and a 4 tier pineapple fountain. I could spend hours sitting and listening and watching that!!

Please note: There is an extra guest fee of $10 per night per additional person beyond 2 guests. Bookings with undeclared guests will incur additional fees of $50 per undeclared guest per night.

Ray's Place is a townhouse with plenty of privacy and peace to enjoy every minute of your stay.

Also, if you have any allergies, please let me know BEFORE booking. Thanks!

We only stayed one night, but it was a beautiful night with the fire going and a glass of wine. The next morning, the clouds were everywhere with the mountains peeking through. So peaceful. Your home was comfortable and beautiful too! Thank you!

TRULY WONDERFUL! THE VIEW AND LOCATION WERE AMAZING!
My wife and I went for a quick getaway and the only negative thing i could say is we had to leave. There was a sense of peacefulness as you sit on the back deck with the unbelievable view that i can't do justice with words. Ray was an amazing host and we will be back soon. Very conveniently located close to food,shopping activities and trails. My wife says next time we go we are gonna try hang gliding which is located 1 mile away on same road. Thank you Ray....Steaks were awesome!

Great mountain vacation
Great location depending on your plans. It was perfect for us.Enjoyed the beautiful view and all the birds. The home is warm and inviting. I would definitely return. Plenty of nearby hiking and Look out Mountain hang gliding park is approx. 2 miles away. Chattanooga is only about 25-30 minutes.

Incredible view!
We got to Ray's place at night our first nights stay so it wasn't until morning that we finally saw what an amazing view he had. We took a small girls trip to get away and even though we had planned to visit Chattanooga, we decided to spend an entire day just chilling on the deck instead. We will definitely be back!

Amazing!
Enjoyed our stay so much. This was my second time to stay at Ray's place and loved his mountain home. Fantastic view, comfortable home and amazing TV and surround sound. Ray will help you any way if needed. Felt very safe with his security system. Will love to return one day.

Nice and comfortable
Ray's place was very clean, comfortable, and the views from the deck were awesome.Celebrated my 60th birthday with my husband and family and we all enjoyed our stay. The pictures of the house are spot on. We would stay again. I was also surprised by Ray and his staff with a birthday cupcake and balloon.One of the best birthday's.

A little slice of heaven
This home is amazing! The view was breathtaking. My family loved staying here because it felt like home. The beautiful deck and the hummingbirds were our favorite. It’s so close to many activities in the area. Ray was such a pleasure to work with. Very thoughtful and informative! We can’t wait to come back! Thank you!

A great stay
My wife and I spent three nights at Ray’s Place after we were married and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home is nice and well appointed and supplied, but the real star of this place is the deck and the amazing views from it. We had beautiful weather and breakfast and lunch on the deck was wonderful. But we also enjoyed the beautiful view of the night sky, and the gas fire pit when the evening turned cool. Ray was incredibly responsive and helpful, and helped with details that made our stay special. We definitely plan to go back.

Can't Beat The AMAZING View!
We had a great time at Ray's Place over the Christmas holiday. The view from Ray's backyard was FANTASTIC! We loved watching the landscape in the valley change from minute to minute! His house was clean, had all the amenities we needed, and was close to some interesting areas (Ruby Falls, Rock City, etc.). We loved being on Lookout Mountain and taking the windy roads down to Chattanooga-- a 25 minute, but very scenic, drive. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely wonderful!
We booked Ray's place during a trip to visit colleges. It was the perfect space for the four of us to spend a night before visiting Covenant College. We wish the weather would have cooperated a little more, but what we could see of the sunrise, was still a beautiful view! Thank you, Ray, for opening up your beautiful home to us. If we get back down in that area, we will definitely be staying with you again! Thank you so much!
