About this property

Amazing 1 bed studio suite, surrounded by forest but 4 miles from downtown!

Get the best of both worlds! Drive 4 miles to downtown Chattanooga to enjoy some of the best restaurants, art and music in the south, and then retreat to our Rocky Ledge Bunkroom on the side of Lookout Mountain. Walk out the front door and onto mountain trails for a 20 minute hike to Glenn Falls, and explore the year-round majesty of Lookout Mountain. 5 min. drive to St. Elmo community center, the Incline Railway and a vibrant commercial district. 10 minutes from Rock City and Ruby Falls.
The Bunkroom is an extension of our barn workspace, a 225 sq.ft. room, with a private parking area and entrance.
• Parking: Dedicated parking is available for 2 cars in the lot just below the barn. Guests will need to be able to climb one flight of stairs in order to get to the Bunkroom from the parking area.
• Kitchenette: The kitchenette is equipped with a mini frig, microwave, coffee press, coffee grinder, drip coffee maker and tea kettle.
• Thermostat: Feel free to adjust the temperature to your comfort level.
• TV: The flat screen TV is equipped with Roku TV which offers many viewing options such as Amazon Prime and Netflix. The TV is connected to our Amazon Prime account, so please enjoy anything labeled “Prime,” but any other movie options are prohibited unless you log in to your own personal account.
The TV is on an extendable bracket that allows viewing from the bed or the sitting area.
• Wi-Fi: The network name and password is provided in the Bunkroom handbook
• Glenn Falls Trail: Follow the map provided in the Bunkroom to reach Glenn Falls (approx. 15-20 min. hike).
• Water: The water from the tap is city water and is safe to drink.
• Toilet: Please do not flush anything down the toilet other than toilet paper. We are on a septic system and feminine hygiene products or any other man-made substance will not biodegrade.
• Check-out is at 11 am. The only thing we request at check-out is that you text us on your way out. You can leave the door unlocked and key on the table when you leave.
* Any personal care products, cleaning products, or food products are available for your use during your stay with us. Make yourself at home! *

The neighborhood:
St. Elmo, is a unique neighborhood - diverse in every way. It is also historic - one of the oldest suburbs in Chattanooga, formed in 1885. Many of the homes built in the early 20th century remain standing, and just in the past 10 years, there has been an increased interest in revitalizing the neighborhood. Along with new homes being built in vacant lots, there are a lot of old homes undergoing restoration. The 3 houses close to the Bunkroom date from 1920 to 1943.

A little bit about us :
Pete and I live just next door (in the gray house) with our kids Lyle (11), O'del (8), Luah (5) and Augustine (3). We are blessed by your visit! - the proceeds from our vacation rentals go toward funding our work with refugee women in Africa through an organization called Amani ya Juu. At Amani, we provide women in desperate situations the skills and employment to sustain themselves and their families.

Perfect Anniversary Getaway
We loved staying at The Bunkroom! It was in a great location for Lookout Mountain, St. Elmo, and Downtown Chattanooga. The bed was comfortable, everything was clean, and it was perfect for a quick anniversary trip.

About the host

Why they chose this property

We are passionate about nature, and this location puts us right in the middle of it. Around our home we have seen raccoons, opossums, coyotes, foxes, deer, armadillos, groundhogs, rabbits, turkeys, box turtles, and a bunch of different birds. Our go-to recreation is hiking the many trails around Lookout Mountain, all of which can be accessed right from our property.

We also love restoring old houses. Our house was built in 1920 from lumber reclaimed from the Chattanooga railroad system. The sills of our house are old trusses from railroad bridges around the area. Some are still discernably stamped with the location of the bridge!

What makes this property unique

We have not found another place in Chattanooga like what we have found here. The forest, the waterfall, yet still being so close to the city--it is just a very special place!
