Loved this place, so much thought into everything. It’s run by the sweetest couple and they made a delicious breakfast for us. Favorite place we stayed at our whole honeymoon!
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this beautiful property! We also enjoyed a delicious breakfast thoughtfully prepared by the hosts. It was wonderful that we could also bring our dog with us!
St Francis' location near Gunbarrel Road is close to many dining and shopping opportunities, but the beautiful BnB still has a quiet, secluded feel, surrounded by nature. Family owned and operated, the owners genuinely welcome guests like friends and family. Breakfast was filling and delicious each time we have stayed at St. Francis, and included consideration for our dietary needs. We love staying at St. Francis Cottage!
What a beautiful, peaceful place. They had everything we needed to feel comfortable, the rooms were spacious and well appointed, each room had its own unique, yet tasteful decor. The breakfast was wonderful, the hosts friendly and helpful. The property was also terrific, its right off the freeway, but feels like you are in the mountains (or the English Garden... I cannot decide)
Wallace and Nancy were amazing hosts to us on our stay! We stayed for our Anniversary/Babymoon and we were blown out of the water! The stay was quiet and comfortable. Breakfast was phenomenal as well. We will be staying here again!
We loved our accommodations. We were allowed to bring our dog! They had a doggie bed and bowls for water and dog chow! The room was so beautiful and the bed was very comfortable! Our hosts served us a very tasty breakfast! This place will be our new Chattanooga hub!

The graciousness and hospitality offered from the owners. And the delicious 3 course breakfast served the following morning.
When you want to stay at the best, stay here! Amazing hospitality all around, including a 3-course breakfast that was superb. The room was very comfortable and the common areas are so cozy and inviting. Oh, and if you forget anything, they have got you covered. We never had a chance to sample the wine or fresh cookies in the evening, but we appreciate that we were staying in a place that was so thoughtful.
Wonderful stay, Wallace and Nancy are so friendly and great hosts. If was very relaxing and we looked forward to each and every day. The room was very clean and comfortable and the food was sooo delicious. We highly recommend this B and B.
