Home away from home!

It was such a nice property. The home was well equipped and furnished with everything we needed for our stay. Plenty of room for our party of 8. The Mountain View from the deck was beautiful!! Would recommend and would definitely stay again.

Delightful Visit

The house was very comfortable. It was 9 degrees one night and we were never cold! Lots of extra touches for a worry free, enjoyable stay. We enjoyed the fire pit and watching the herd of deer in the backyard. Would definitely book again!

Great stay.

We were only in town one day for a wedding but the property was perfect. Very clean inside and peaceful outside. Would definitely recommend the stay, especially if you have the extra time to enjoy the fire pit and the grill. Host was extremely responsive and helpful.

Short stay

While we had just a short stay, we took advantage of the many sites to see...the waterfalls, park, and enjoyed dinner at Wildflowers! The house was very well accommodated and we even had some nice conversations with the father-in-law. We will enjoy staying there again, should we have the opportunity.

Perfect for a family!

We really enjoyed our stay at Alices Acres! We loved that it was quite and secluded. It was perfect for our family of 10 and had everything we needed. It was like home away from home. We will definitely be returning

Lovely Location

The house was comfortable and decorated invitingly. It served as a perfect place to visit Mentone, Desoto Falls, Little River Canyon, and Chattanooga. We were only there a couple of evenings. But it had plenty of yard space and a lovely deck to enjoy the outdoors. Lovely mountain backdrop. It’s kind of in the country. But it’s easy to find. Just be prepared to drive slowly on a short gravel road with significant potholes. The host responds quickly to any communication. Overall a great value for the listing price.

Great Getaway

Highly recommend Alice's Acres! My friend and I were supposed to be camping with our spouses in our RVs at De Soto State Park. We had a large group of friends also camping with us. Unfortunately, our husbands and and RVs couldn't make it, so we made the best of it by renting this VRBO. It exceeded our expectations. Very cute on the outside with a large yard, firepit with seating area, a new deck out back, and nicely renovated on the inside. The attention to detail did not go unnoticed! Well stocked toiletries and amenities like paper towels, pods for the dishwasher, and dish soap. Being able to bring our pups was essential to our stay. Without that we would not have been able to come. Thank you for accommodating our 4-legged kids!!! The only thing that would have made it better for us due to our situation, was if they were a little closer to the park and the dirt road had a few less potholes. LOL! Nothing that would stop us from recommending this place or rebooking if we had it to do all over again. Thanks for a great stay!
