Property Description
Step back in time into the historical Sissons House at the base of Lookout Mountain. This unique home built in 1884 sits in the most desirable location in St. Elmo surrounded by an acre of gorgeous landscaped grounds. Savor the fresh air off Lookout Mountain from the serene perch of the home's covered, wrap-around wooden front porch or sip your morning coffee in the more private garden patio. Recently updated with new decor and furnishings. Experience a true Chattanooga charmer. We are limited to eight guests.
Sissons House, conveniently located in the historic district of St. Elmo, is within walking distance of numerous restaurants and cafes, as well as the many activities on Lookout Mountain, including historical Point Park, Civil War battle sites, and scenic hiking trails. Downtown Chattanooga, with the Tennessee Aquarium, Chattanooga Choo Choo, Bluff View Art District, Warehouse Row, Chattanooga Riverwalk, and more, is an easy, 10-minute drive away. It doesn't take long for visitors to discover why Chattanooga is affectionately called the "Scenic City."
Adventure enthusiasts and thrill seekers alike will find options aplenty in the Chattanooga area, whether rock climbing Cumberland Plateau and its Tennessee Wall, bouldering at Stone Fort, hang gliding with the Lookout Mountain Flight Park, or white water rafting on the nearby Ocoee River.
Within walking distance of Sissons House, downtown St. Elmo offers a number of eateries and bars, including The Purple Daisy Picnic Cafe, St. Elmo Deli & Grill, Sawasdee Thai Restaurant, Mojo Burrito, Clumpies Ice Cream Company, Plus Coffee, Mr. T's Pizza & Ice Cream, The Tap House and 1885 Grill.About pets:No pets allowed.About checkOut:Check out before 11:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About checkIn:Check in after 4:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About minBookingAge:Minimum age to rent: 21.About events:No events allowed.

House was perfect for our Chattanooga stay. We were able to walk to restaurants, coffee shop, hiking and even the Naughty Cat Cafe. Great location.

Perfect central location with room to play outside
We had the best time meeting up with friends for a few nights at this beautiful home. St Elmo is a great location and this home had it all! We will stay again! Best added touch was the espresso machine!

Friends Vacay
This house is so beautiful. The owners have updated it yet kept the historical character. We met friends there for a few days in Chattanooga. We are from Indy and our friends from Atlanta. The house is so convenient located near Incline Railway, Rock City and Ruby Falls. St Elmo is a great location to stay. Not far at all from downtown. Great host who communicated throughout check in. Also met the cleaners who were so nicw

Tired Mamas Get Away
We absolutely LOVED this place. The house, the location, EVERYTHING. We spent our mornings in the kitchen nook chatting and sipping coffee. Our late afternoon gathering spot was outside by the fire. Late night chats were had in the parlor. We called for a ride into town and walked and ate until we could stand no more. We also enjoyed the short walk into town for a cup of coffee and a stretch of the legs. A definite re-do for us will be in the books.

So Charming!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The bunk room and all the outside activities were so fun for our 4 granddaughters! Such a cute little slice of history. Highly recommend!!

Delightful historic home
We had a wonderful 5 day getaway in Chattanooga with our three children, staying at the St. Elmo farmhouse. The property exceeded expectations--it matches the pictures and was comfortable and more convenient than we imagined for our planned adventures. We ate s'mores around the fire in the firepit and hiked Lookout Mountain to Ruby Falls.

A true getaway!
The home is just as described in the listing. It was immaculate and SO much care and thought and love has been poured into every detail, from the furniture to the toiletries and everything in between.
It’s an excellent location near everything you could possibly want to do in the city but with surroundings that make you feel like you’re in a retreat.
The property is BEAUTIFUL! You are close to a fairly busy street but the front yard is so spacious that you aren’t bothered by it at all.
The historic house itself is absolutely perfect. Everything makes sense - the layout, the decor, etc.
Plan to take a ton of photos; I captured so many memories on my phone of my toddler running barefoot around the property, gleefully sorting through the thoughtful toy chest they provide in the bunk bed room, and cozying up in their very comfortable beds.
The only problem is that you may not want to leave the comfort and beauty of this home to actually do any activities in the city!
My family has some special needs and the owner was very attentive and accommodating.
We are already trying to decide on fall/winter dates for our return. This will be the only place we ever stay in Chattanooga, without a doubt.
We truly can’t wait to return!

St. Elmo Perfection
If you're visiting Chattanooga- this is the place to stay. Everything was wonderful about the property and location.
Upon walking in we were amazed at how the home is both historical and updated in all the right ways. The home is well stocked and very welcoming. My daughter was so excited to have a lush room with a private bath and chandler over the bed. Speaking of beds..... they are so comfortable. It gets chilly in the house (the a/c is very powerful which is essential for southern summers), but there are so many cozy blankets to cuddle up with- a very nice touch. The outside seating is inviting and a great place to watch the chipmunks, squirrels and birds in the morning and lightning bugs at night. Very easy to get to/from the interstate and downtown (with many great restaurants and things to do- we loved the Ghost Tour and Coker museum) The Lookout Mountain attractions are so close (you can walk to the Incline Railway; Ruby Falls and Rock City are a short 5-10 minute drive). There are a number of restaurants, a lovely wine store, drug store and grocery store within walking distance. I cannot think of a thing that I would change about the property- it is perfect. We were sad to leave and will certainly plan to come back.
