General overview
Welcome to our historic family home in downtown Chattanooga, TN! We are walking or biking distance to the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga campus, Coolidge Park, Warner Park Zoo, the Riverfront, Southside, Main Street and the Northshore. Our home is located in a friendly neighborhood on a tree-lined street in the Fortwood historic district. Our location is ideal for exploring everything Chattanooga has to offer as one of the best outdoor cities in the US.
The space
Over the past couple of years we have been lovingly restoring our 1902 historic home after its previous life as a rental to college students. Much of the historic charm still exists including original staircase, 6 decorative fireplaces, stained glass windows, and window transoms. The downstairs consists of a tv room, family room, dining room/office, laundry room, kitchen and full bathroom with a shower. Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms (total of 2 kings, 3 double beds) and a full bathroom with claw foot tub/shower. There is also off-street, gated parking and lots of storage in the basement. We also offer plenty of bikes for your family (road and mountain bikes) to take advantage of all the outdoor activities Chattanooga has to offer. Our favorite parts of the house are the front porch and backyard!
Guest access
2 floors, key code entry to the house
Notes
We are an adventurous family who loves to travel slowly and enjoy local spots. Shelby is a professor and will be taking students on a study abroad trip this summer to Italy for 6 weeks. We would like to welcome another family into our home during this time. We do have a friendly cat in case anyone has allergies and a family who is willing to take care of our cat would be preferred.

We are a family of 5: husband and wife with three adventurous kids, ages 6, 4 and 2. We are from the US and lived in Spain for 4.5 years and two of our kids were born in Madrid. We are based back in the US for now and we frequently travel internationally with our kids around the academic calendar to try to open up their worldview and introduce them to new people. Shelby is a professor and will be taking students on a study abroad trip this summer to Italy. We are looking for a family to stay in our house while we are gone.
