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!

Amazing Location and Property

Amazing location. The property was the best VRBO we have ever stayed in. Everything was super clean and comfortable. The kids loved the spiral staircase to the loft. The neighborhood cats very very friendly and evening walks were perfect.

Cute house close to everything we wanted to do

This was a perfect location for what we wanted for a long weekend getaway meeting up with my parents. The house is so cute with artsy touches which give it personality & help you to feel like you really got away from the norm yet was comfortable and cozy with all that you need.

About the host

Hosted by Sherry and Francesco

My husband and I have been involved with the resurgence of our neighborhood over the past 15 years and are now eager to share it with new people. We love VRBO and are excited about creating new spaces to show off our neighborhood. We enjoy working with local artists and creating spaces for them to flourish, this is our passion. We have two rambunctious and adventurous children that keep us on our toes and feeling young!

Why they chose this property

Enjoy the neighborhood park, the abundant hiking trails that lead to waterfalls and majestic Tennessee views. St Elmo is teaming with locally owned and operated businesses. Our own neighborhood pub, Moccasin Bend Brewing Company, where you can meet the locals or take home a growler (you can also bring your dogs). Visit Mojo Burrito, delicious food in a hip environment, 1885 Restaurant for a more upscale dining experience, don't miss out on their incredible fresh water trout blackened or grilled, or St. Elmo's own Purple Daisy and dine on a BBQ sandwich. St. Elmo Deli will provide you with the perfect lunch on the run. Don't forget Mr.T's Pizza and hand scooped ice cream that has been in the neighborhood for over 20 years!!!! The choices are endless!

What makes this property unique

We can point you in the direction of almost anything that you would like to enjoy in Chattanooga. See seven states from Rock City, visit the nation's largest and deepest underground waterfall at Ruby Falls, take a short ride on the Incline Railway to ascend and descend Lookout Mt, where you have access to amazing views from the top of Lookout Mountain from Point Park, or visit Sunset Rock. We are a mere 5 miles from downtown Chattanooga. Enjoy the river front at Ross's landing on the banks of the Tennessee River, visit the Tennessee Aquarium, and walk right down Broad St and enjoy a Moon Pie! How would you like to see the Hunter Museum or take a walk across the nation's longest pedestrian bridge to Coolidge park in North Chattanooga? There are many locally owned businesses and also some familiar favorites. The list is endless!! (That's just getting to see Chattanooga as a tourist!)
