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 lovely place to stay. Incredible food, wine and soft drinks available in the evenings, and even homemade cookies. We cannot say enough good things. The property is gorgeous and clean. The hosts are amazing. Wallace and Nancy take care of their guests. We felt like family by the time we left. Our favorite place to stay in Chattanooga.
