Guest Access:

Lookout Mountain Inn is a 2-acre property in the heart of Lookout Mountain, and there's plenty to enjoy beyond your front door. Your unit features keyless entry for easy, private access. You'll also be free to roam the grounds and enjoy our shared amenities — the pool (seasonal), two shared hot tubs, gazebo, community firepit, dining area, and patio. Select units also feature a private hot tub. We just ask that you be respectful of fellow guests as you enjoy the property.



The Neighborhood:

Lookout Mountain Inn sits atop Lookout Mountain, just minutes from iconic attractions like Rock City, Ruby Falls, and the Incline Railway. Yet you're only a short drive from everything downtown Chattanooga has to offer — from the Tennessee Aquarium to the vibrant Southside district. Doesn't matter if your adventure leads up the mountain or into the city, it all starts here.



There’s a lot happening in and around Lookout Mountain this summer. Rock City is running a season-long America 250 celebration featuring new art installations, mountaintop music, and Americana-themed events. The new Erlanger Park is only minutes away, where the Chattanooga Lookouts are playing their inaugural season with themed nights, fireworks, and live music all summer. Free concerts downtown run every Friday night at Nightfall in Miller Plaza through July 31, and every Saturday at Riverfront Nights at Ross’s Landing through September 5. Lookout Mountain Inn is a perfect home base for all your summer fun!



Getting Around:

To make the most of your stay, we recommend a car to get around. Each of our units can accommodate a car in either shared parking lot or private driveway.



UBER and Lyft are available throughout the Chattanooga area, in addition to a number of local taxi services. Please note that availability may be extremely limited during peak times.



The city of Chattanooga offers reasonably priced parking on the street and in several public parking lots.



A free electric shuttle bus runs between the Chattanooga Choo Choo and the Tennessee Aquarium with stops at every block. The buses run every 15 minutes, Monday through Friday from 6:30 am to 10 pm, Saturday from 9:30 am to 11 pm, and Sunday from 9:30 am to 8:30 pm. Bus schedules may vary, please consult the Chattanooga Area Regional Transit Authority website for the most up to date schedules.
