About this property

'City Overlook & Hideway' above downtown Chattanooga

City Overlook is an urban chalet located in the city just above downtown Chattanooga, on a rustic, secluded 2 acre wooded lot. Parties and events strictly prohibited. This property has immediate access to downtown and interstate (I-24), and is conveniently positioned between downtown and Hamilton Place Mall. The second floor chalet has a unique wall of windows framing views of downtown Chattanooga, Lookout Mnt., and Signal Mnt., and is a bright sunny place to be in the fall and winter. The space has hardwood floors in the living room, gas fireplace, stainless appliances, contemporary décor, private covered balcony in the trees, and approx. 1300 sq. ft of living space, with a fully equipped kitchen. EPB fiber optics wifi. The chalet has two large carpeted bedrooms both with memory foam mattresses, with 400 threat count Egyptian cotton sheets.

The chalet is located down a long narrow gravel driveway that is a bit rough and can be muddy. The driveway can be difficult to turn around in. The chalet is on a natural wooded lot with minimal grass and landscaping. This location is just above downtown so you may hear noise from the city and traffic in the distance.
(Permit STVR 23-18).

Awesome city view
We were just in for the weekend but it was a comfortable living area to rest at night. Windows across the wall. I felt safe in the neighborhood and there were decent restaurants close by. It was me and my husband and our grandson. Everyone enjoyed. … there were even puzzles there that my grandson enjoyed!

Great View!
The condo had a great view of downtown and was very clean. The deck is a little slanted, so we didn't sit out there, but the view from inside was so great that it didn't matter. It can be tricky to turn around in the driveway, but we managed it well. It is close to everything and we had a wonderful time. It was private and lovely.

We were very comfortable and had all the”things” we needed. The view from the windows was magnificent and magnetic as I couldn’t stop looking! The driveway was a small challenge the first time we used it but no problem once we figured it out. Chattanooga was a fine hostess. Thanks Rodney for a great VRBO stay.

Just what we needed
Thank you Rodney! The house setup, the amenities, the view, and feel of the home was fantastic. We needed a staycation away from home :). This place provided us the opportunity for a wonderful view of the city and mountains where we could spend time together playing board games, cooking food, and resting. We went out once a day to adventure around and always looked forward to coming back :). Logistic to know for those who come: be ready to back up to get in and out of the drive or do a 3 point turnaround at the house. Not a problem for us even with a quarter ton truck. Great home away from home ♥️

Million dollar view
Enjoyed the view the most! Easy access location. Nicely furnished and great communication. I was a little nervous after seeing reviews about the “road noise”. Puuhhhlease! Yes the interstate is part of the (distant) view and if you try to- you can hear occasional road noise but it’s not disruptive at all!!! I’m triggered by sleep disturbances and experienced NONE! It was a great stay and the surprise bottle of wine was an unexpected and lovely touch! Give this place a try!

Family vacay
We loved our stay at this cute tree house the natural light and view during the day was amazing and city lights at night were breathtaking. This rental had everything you could need as far as convenience. Each room had multiple wall outlets good for us and our baby monitor and plenty of closet space . The location was perfect. Felt very secluded, but also close to town at the same time in the city, but not in the city. The noise outside did not bother us too much honestly didn’t really hear it much inside,more from the balcony obviously but still traffic noise wasn’t that bad I will say I did enjoy the balcony wish I could’ve enjoyed it a little bit more, but a family of wasps decided that it was theirs. That was another thing that was also conveniently located under the sink wasp spray, but they just kept coming back and I’m a scaredy cat. Having a washing machine and dryer was also great . Would definitely stay here again wonderful rental

Amazing view
Views were so beautiful and so was the inside. The outside could use some TLC. Place was not as clean as everyone else raved about but it was not bad either, I’ve seen worse. Specifically the windows had handprints all over and the bathroom drawers filled with hair. So I spent time recleaning the place to my standard. Another downside was the driveway, you barely can back out/turn around makes it difficult with SUV. Owner left us wine even though we didn’t drink it and some snacks/coffee grounds. Towels and linens for all, a washer and dryer which was a plus & he even provided the basic necessities such as toilet paper and cleaners/etc. The area is not the best...I think we were by a bad neighborhood because it was a really ran down area and some sketchy characters. However it was super close to everything in downtown & interstate. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay again!
