Fantastic!

This cabin was perfect, my wife and our teenage daughter absolutely loved it. The home has everything you need to cook a nice meal and a beautiful campfire outside. Our pup enjoyed running the hills. The host was great! Super friendly. The cabin has great WiFi as well. Highly recommend.

Not bad at all for the price.

If you’re looking to explore the area or do some white water paddling, this is a pretty good deal. Quiet, and well stocked with plenty of amenities that made it a comfortable stay.

WAY off the beaten path!

If you're looking to get away from EVERYTHING, this is the place. It is quiet and peaceful and takes a while to arrive! Brian and Nola were gracious hosts and obviously are hard workers. You can tell everything is in the process of being upgraded, including the Woodsman Cabin. The updates to the bathroom are spot-on. The kitchen was great, too. Everything was clean and the cabin was well stocked for our needs. I appreciated the little things, too, like USB plugs in the bedroom and the Citronella candle on the deck. There are some things still in progress, however. We had to adapt the parking situation to avoid walking through a mud hole. The AC was putting out a musty/moldy smell. We turned it off and opened the windows and it pretty much went away. My biggest concern is that there was really no comfortable place inside to rest and relax. The seating in the den area had little padding between us and the springs, and the downstairs mattresses need to be replaced, too. (We didn't go into the loft.) I realize we weren't staying at a luxury hotel but at a rustic cabin, so we can extend a little grace there. But with a few tweaks this could be a 5-Star rated place.

Great property for a great getaway

The owners were friendly and very responsive during our stay. There was a huge storm right around check in knocking out power. Brian and Nola made sure we got settled in, had lanterns and heat. Can’t wait to see the new cabins when they’re finished. We will be back.

Regular visitor to the Tellico/Reliance area

I've stayed at many properties over the years in this area. Sometimes cabins, sometimes camping. This was a great place with all the necessary amenities. Quiet... secluded... but still accessible to grocery and restaurants in Tellico or Etowah. Be mindful though, and vehicle with low clearance will have a tough time making it to the cabin. Not a criticism or complaint, but if we had driven the sport car I doubt we could have made it both in and out of the driveway.

Cabin was as described. Great quiet get away. Access of roads and parking so so.

Communication with Brian was great. Cabin was neat and clean. Beds were comfortable. Private Firepit and picnic area available for each cabin and if we’d been there longer would have made use of. Only downside was Parking I would not recommend for those with difficulty walking as you park in very narrow gravel drive below cabin and walk up gravel hill to get to the porch.

Great little cabin

The woodsman was perfect for myself and teenage daughter on a road trip to do some whitewater rafting on the Ocoee. The cabin is comfortable with a small but well equipped kitchen. Wifi was a bit spotty, which was perfect for me to avoid incoming work calls but it was good enough to text and do phone research on locations to visit. Brian was an excellent host and the check jn/check out is about as painless as it gets. Highly recommend staying here for small families, couples, or guys out fishing/rafting!
