Christmas on the mountain

We had a wonderful stay at this mountain house. We were close enough to the downtown Chattanooga area to go do things, but far enough away to be in a quiet area.

Lovely stay

We enjoyed the kitchen as well as eating in Chattanooga at some nice restaurants. It was about a 30 minute drive and we spent a lot of time in the city. The house was very comfortable. All the beds and bathrooms were well equipped and nicely done. We played some of the board games that were provided by our host and had a wonderful time!

Delayed family Christmas

A great property for our three generation family Christmas in January. There was even a beautifully decorated tree in the living room. With three levels, there was plenty of space for eight adults and three toddlers. The fireplace was an added bonus

Simply the best stay we've ever had and the nicest hosts

So let me start off by saying I got the dates wrong for for our stay. The hosts were so accommodating and kind and trying to work with us. He's probably the only reason my wife and I are still talking:-) their home is absolutely gorgeous and one of the nicest areas of Chattanooga. If I could have I would have stayed a month. The home was clean very, very well equipped, and gave you a sense of Mountain life with all the amenities.

Relaxing Retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed this property and were able to relax and have some fun after exploring Chattanooga! The house was clean and there was something for everyone to do (games, good furniture to relax in, etc). Our family really enjoyed playing frisbee outside in the evenings! We were disappointed there was no hottub (it was still in the lsiting when we booked but there werent pictures, so I assume its been gone for a while but it is listed in the amenities still, just in case it happens to nyone else! Pur toddler thoroughly dnjoyed the very large bathtub upstairs and "swam" in it most evenings! Thank you for opening upur lovely home up, it was a wonderful visit and your attention to the little details affed so much to the gorgeous property!

27th Year & Counting!

This is our 27th year (28 stays) for our family beginning with our parents, my 4 siblings and their spouses. We have continued on with the tradition started in 1997 after our last parent passed in 2010 by expanding our destinations beyond a 4-5 hour drive from greater Cincinnati. Susan was a tremendous host and was extremely responsive in addressing our needs. The home was well suited for our now 7 (3 couples and one widower) except when we were preparing meals, then the kitchen got a little tight but overall the place was as-described. The earlier reviews helped in selecting this place and the location on top of Signal Mountain was breathtaking (though the views across the street were blocked by mature trees. Everything was within 30-40 minutes away: downtown Chattanooga, sites on Lookout Mountain, Micro-breweries and Distilleries but not being local to the area, going up/down the mountain meant earlier evenings which didn't bother us at all since we cook breakfast/dinner in. We would have wanted to take advantage of the built-in outdoor fireplace but the weather was a little too warm for us to enjoy. The side porch was an early morning and evening place to gather as a family to discuss the day's events as well as "just catching up" with each other and their families. My wife and I are planning on returning to the Skagg's home on Signal Mtn. with our daughter, grand/greatgrand children next year. The local haunts: Rock City, Ruby Falls, Incline are all worth visiting

Large Rustic Home in the Clouds

Overall we had a great stay! We loved the accommodations as each couple had their own room and bathroom. This home is on top of a mountain and has wonderful views very nearby. The only problem we had was poor communication with the host. We reached out a few times before our stay and once during and never heard back. Would recommend this home to any large family or group looking for a quite rustic stay.

Contact free check in with a door code. WiFi worked great. It’s about 30 minutes away from any restaurants or grocery stores. The house is super cute with a cottage feel. The showers did have mold growing in the caulk in the upstairs bathrooms. One of the bed sheets weren’t washed and we found dirt and Bobby pins in it. And we found an old yogurt container under the couch when we first got there. Overall, it was a nice place, just needed a little more attention to cleaning details.

Lovely home

Lovely home, great set up for multiple families. Spacious rooms and great bathrooms. Well furnished but could use a cookie sheet or baking pan in the kitchen. Was hoping for something a little more secluded feeling and further off the road, but road is relatively quiet. Overall I would recommend and would stay again.

Lots of room for all of us, 6 adults and 2 kids!

The cabin was spacious and already decorated for Christmas when we arrived, which was a nice touch. Would have like to had extra blankets as the basement bedroom didn't heat very well and extra towels would have been a plus as well. I would recommend this property for large groups looking for a peaceful getaway.

Absolutely amazing!

This cabin is amazing! It has so much space over 3 floors. Each bedroom has a full attached bath and most have huge jetted tubs. We stayed with 7 young kids and 3 adults and 2 beds were still unused. The property is beautiful. We spent our last night roasting smores on the porch fireplace while the kids played tag and ran around in the woods. It is just 20 minutes to downtown Chattanooga making for easy trips to local attractions. We did the aquarium, incline railway, caverns, and local hiking. We will definitely be back!
