We loved the location, all the amenities provided, and the house was perfect for our family of 4. The fire pit was great and the host brought us extra firewood! Overall one of the best VRBOs we have stayed at and would book again!

This was the perfect place for our mountain family Christmas. Great location between the city of Chattanooga and the quaint town of Dunlap. We were adventuring everyday, but came back each night to the festive house that had been decorated for the holidays. Weather was cool, and we enjoyed evening fires in the outdoor pit. The house had everything we needed, and Tanna checked in to make sure we were comfortable. She is an excellent host and we would certainly stay here again! Thank you, Tanna!

Wonderful Mountain Stay

We really enjoyed our stay at Higher Ground, it was everything we were looking for in rental. We most enjoyed the outside area/fire pit and the rental was very baby/toddler friendly! Tanna was great to work with and very responsive.

Amazing experience

We stayed up on the mountain and it was an amazing experience. It was a little little more time and effort to get down into the city just cause you’re on the top of a mountain, but the quiet atmosphere is totally worth it.

Great place to stay to just relax or see area attractions

We went to Ruby Falls and Rock City Gardens both about 30 minutes away and hiking at North Chickamauga Creek Gorge Trailhead just a mile or two down the mountain from the house. It was a pleasure to come back to a clean, comfortable and welcoming place after a day of activity. The lawn is expansive and the sitting area was a relaxing place to hang outside.

Higher Ground was a high point of our visit

All the comforts of home, far better than a hotel would have been. Clearly a lot of care and thought went into preparing the property to be welcoming and accommodating of many, many needs. We were visiting family nearby, and really enjoyed coming back to use the fire pit on our last night.

Perfect Respite Place

This cozy comfy nicely decorated home was a welcome site every day we came back to it after long HOT days of training with horses. The coffee bar was such a treat, everything you need you will find in the kitchen, phone and lap top chargers were provided, the beds and couches felt like home, the yard/fire pit are beautiful, every detail was attended to with love and thoughtfulness! If we ever come back, this home will be where we stay!

Absolutely wonderful stay at Higher Ground!

The house was precious! I loved the theme of the different bedrooms and the thoughtful decor of each. It was so spacious and comfortable. The house had every amenity we needed, and then some! Tanna was in communication with us throughout and even warned us of severe weather coming in during our stay. If we were to ever find ourselves in Soddy Daisy area again, we would definitely book Higher Ground!

Great olace just outside of Chattanooga.

The house was very lovely and had all the ammenities of home. Tanna was a great host and communicated several times throughout our trip to ensure we had a great stay. She even made sure we were staying as cool as possible in the high heat. The rooms had extra fans in them which was a nice touch because due to the high heat the AC was having trouble keeping it as cool as we had set. She really thought of everything. I highly recommend staying here.

Great house! Had everything to make our stay feel like home! Outside had a fire pit with relaxing chairs, grill with picnic table and cooking utensils for hot dogs and s’mores and a hammock! Outside games too! Inside was decorated to make it feel like home. Plenty of cooking pots and pans to make meals. There were board games, WII system and games. Plenty of room to relax and enjoy! Enjoyed every minute!

Awesome Experience

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas vacation at Higher Ground! Our host, Tanna, was amazing! It was easy to communicate with her both before and during our stay. We contacted her for minor things like a question about streaming channels and her advice on restaurants and/or directions. She even suggested a lovely holiday light show for us to visit (we did and it was great).The home was clean and tastefully decorated. We loved the beautiful Christmas tree to help feel the holiday spirit. The home and property were exactly as described and as shown in photos. We hope to return soon in warmer weather so we can enjoy the outdoor amenities.

Great base for our sibling weekend with everything we needed

We stayed at Higher Ground for a sibling weekend and we all loved it there. The themed decor, comfortable furnishings, amenities, and outdoor space was perfect for the four of us. We enjoyed using the grill and boardgames one evening, then the fire pit and Adirondack gliders the other. We had plenty of space inside and the unit was very clean. The kitchen was well equipped, and we loved the coffee bar. It is a quick drive over to Chattanooga and less than 15 minutes to great hiking trails at big soddy Creek. The unit is well laid out for groups of adults or families. Our host was great to work with and check in was a breeze. We would definitely stay there again.

A beautiful mountain stay!

Tanna’s property is absolutely lovely! The drive up the mountain is fun, and a bit exciting driving down again too. The house is well situated with a large circle driveway, the description matches the amenities perfectly. We had plenty of room to stretch out in three bedrooms. Wi-Fi was excellent, never had an issue connecting. Check-in was easy, Tanna communicated everything we needed to know and was very responsive. It’s decorated beautifully with a well-stocked kitchen, board games, Wii, movies and TVs. A board of favorite local sites is available. I would highly recommend this property, it’s an easy drive into town, only 10-20 mins to most places. Chattanooga (downtown and airport) easily accessible.

Beautiful

House is beautiful, with a huge backyard for outside activities. And not that far away from the activities booked. Well decorated and the owner was very accessible all the time. We had a great time!!!! The only thing is that the beds are super hard and high. I'm short and it was not easy for me to get on the bed. Also the shower on the main bedroom is very low and it's kind of difficult for a tall person like my husband and son, to use it comfortably. If you are planning to stay make sure you are not going back to the house late, because the road is VERY dark and is up hill in the mountain.

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

I was coming to the area to look at rental houses and booked this sweet house on a mountaintop. I was in such a hurry to snatch it up I accidentally paid for it twice. Not an easy thing to do and totally my own stupid fault. Tanna was a saint. She had never had to deal with givig a refund (of course, cause the place is perfect!), but she was patient with me and we learned together!! Multiple text messages and chats with Vrbo and we finally figured it all out. My trip was amazing, and being able to come back to a clean house with comfy everything after a long day of house hunting was a blessing. Our ONLY complaint was the traffic. Nothing Tanna couns do about that, but its a busy little mountaintop!!! Book Higher Ground! You won't regret it! Thank you Tanna!!!
