Historic Home Tour

You are in for a treat! If you enjoyed the Apartment Makeover Tour, you’re going to LOVE this Historic Home Tour!

This tour is all about an Airbnb located in the heart of Chattanooga, Tennessee. St. Elmo Farmhouse is a historic home that the owner did some special house renovations to create a happy, peaceful, and wonderful experience for all their guests! This historic home was built just twenty years after the Civil War. I wish the walls could talk! If you live in Tennessee and want to take a road trip, this is one vacation spot you want to hit!

I am going to give you a tour of this fabulous vacation rental. There are a ton of wonderful interior design ideas in every room of this home.

St. Elmo Airbnb Special Host

This is our Airbnb Special Host- Karri and her husband. They live in California and have been married 24 years! Initially they were searching for an investment property that had potential for a great return- but also somewhere they could go and enjoy.

While searching for a smaller city that attracts a lot of tourists- they found Chattanooga, Tennessee and fell in love! Chattanooga has a ton of history, great food, outdoor activity opportunities and is near the beautiful Tennessee River. Their vacation rental property is in the historic district of St. Elmo. I was so excited to find this gorgeous vacation spot! Karri did not leave one detail untouched. From the decor to the amenities for guests, it was an absolute 10! I am thrilled to share with you this historic home tour. Take a look!

St. Elmo Farmhouse

As soon as we pulled down the gravel driveway, I knew we had found a beautiful vacation spot!

First of all, the pictures did not do this historic home justice! The front porch was just stunning. Just look at those doors!

Historic Home | Foyer

This is the main foyer when you first enter the home. Take a peek at that chandelier! Absolutely stunning!

Historic Home Tour | Bedrooms

Next on the home tour are the bedrooms! No detail went unnoticed- Karri did the perfect job incorporating the history of the home into her decorating! The history of this historic home were reflected in every room, accented by beautiful modern touches!

These bunk beds were so fun and every kid’s dream! From the light fixture to the bedding, to the sweet window- this room was perfection!

Historic Home Tour | Dining Room

We throughly enjoyed eating in this dining room. The generous table has ample seating and Karri created a lovely space to enjoy a meal with friends and family. Dining room decorating can be tricky, especially in a historic home! The modern touches accented the space beautifully!

Historic Home | Kitchen

Next stop is the kitchen!

The kitchen was so happy and had everything you would need at a vacation rental! Once again, pictures do not do this home justice! This gorgeous kitchen was bursting with charm.

One of my favorite details of this historic home is in the kitchen. One of the cabinets still has the home’s original wallpaper! Check out the beautiful wooden doors below.

Historic Home Tour | Bathroom

I am in love with this bathroom! Once again, Karri nails it with the details. Take a peek at that chandelier- gorgeous!

Historic Home Tour | Living Room

The last stop on our historic home tour is the living room. This space was probably one of my favorite rooms in the Airbnb. Look at those barn doors- just beautiful!

How cool is this record player? Seriously so fun!
