The neighborhood:
St. Elmo, is a unique neighborhood - diverse in every way. It is also historic - one of the oldest suburbs in Chattanooga, formed in 1885. Many of the homes built in the early 20th century remain standing, and just in the past 10 years, there has been an increased interest in revitalizing the neighborhood. Along with new homes being built in vacant lots, there are a lot of old homes undergoing restoration. The 3 houses close to the Bunkroom date from 1920 to 1943.
A little bit about us :
Pete and I live just next door (in the gray house) with our kids Lyle (11), O'del (8), Luah (5) and Augustine (3). We are blessed by your visit! - the proceeds from our vacation rentals go toward funding our work with refugee women in Africa through an organization called Amani ya Juu. At Amani, we provide women in desperate situations the skills and employment to sustain themselves and their families.
