Perched near the borders of both Alabama and Georgia, Chattanooga is consistently ranked as one of the top tourist cities in America. It’s known for its rivers and mountains, rich history, vibrant urban nightlife, legendary music scene and cheap vacation rentals.
Vacation Home Rents, which displays the top listings from sites like Airbnb, Vrbo and Outdoorsy, shows that cabins, cottages, bungalows, studios and tiny houses are easy to find for around $50. CozyCozy, which also combines listings from the top vacation rental sites, shows apartments and full homes for less than $90 within 5 miles of the city’s center.
You’ll save money while you’re out of your rental there, too. Tennessee as a whole is inexpensive — its cost-of-living index is 87.6, with 100 being the national average — but with a score of 83.8, Chattanooga is affordable even by the standards of the Volunteer State.
