This unit was so delightful and had everything a short or long term renter needs. Everything was compact and yet so cozy and just invited the occupant to stay in and be comfortable. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was equipped with full size appliances and matching cookware, there was a separate dining area that also was a sun room (excellent on those sunny days!), the reclinable couch was super comfy and perfect for TV watching or reading a book. The bedroom had a large closet to keep clothes and more in. Our hosts were responsive to all of our needs and very willing to make our stay memorable. When we first arrived we were thrilled with all the little touches that make this place a cut above: welcome snacks, fully stocked Keurig and tea service, bowls of candy for our enjoyment and extra hygiene items in a pinch. The outside grounds were welcoming for just hanging out with multiple gathering spots: a cozy nook on the front porch, a beautiful pergola with wrought iron seating and an another open air table and chair area. Being so close to a business district, it took no time to travel to our many attractions we visited. You will definitely want to check this place out if you are staying in Chattanooga!

We stayed 3 nights in Lily's Loft at the 1890 Bear House (under $400 including fees and FREE parking). After staying 1 night in downtown Chattanooga, I wouldn't do that again. Location and price can't be beat. We walked to the Incline Railway, Clumpies, 1885. A short drive to Rock City (a must see), Ruby Falls, Chickamauga Battlefield (watch the film 1st) the National Cemetery (like a smaller Arlington) the aquarium is nice also.
Lily's loft was so cute. Fully stocked kitchen with coffee, Oatmeal, snack bars, spices, candy and bottled water. The bathroom (may be a little tight for some larger people) even had feminine hygiene products. There are stairs that lead to a downstairs unit if you have more people. The sunroom had a cabin like feel. Sofa has 2 sides that recline, very comfortable. Also try Han Mi for Korean fried chicken, Honey Seed for breakfast. I researched places to stay in Chattanooga for a couple weeks before deciding on the Bear House (due to size of the apt). I would highly recommend. It's a quiet and safe area. Lot's of outdoor seating too.

We spent a week visiting Chattanooga. "The Bear House" was immaculately clean, fully equipped (including a basket with moon pies and other treats) and is located with easy access to the tourist attractions. The Incline Railway and several restaurants are within walking distance and there is a stop for the free trolley a block from the house. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and our stay at The Bear House.

My husband and I stayed here for 8 days while we hiked, golfed and explored the area. The accomodations were perfect for us with plenty of space including closets and an office area for me to work. We loved the location within walking distance of restaurants, the Inline Railway, the Guild Trail, shopping. Our hosts were so friendly and helpful we felt welcome and comfortable. Will rent this again!
