Tellico River Retreat

Completely unplug after touring the Cherohala Skyway or hiking at the falls in our private rustic cabin on the water just two minutes off the world-famous Cherohala Skyway on Tellico River. This queen bed one-room cabin with a full bathroom has all of the essentials you need for a quiet couples getaway or small family trip. Enjoy the scenic views of the river on the deck overlooking the water, or walk down to the river to relax by the firepit and build a fire.

The space
This is a small cabin with kitchenette with all of the basic essentials to have meals at home. All linens are provided. There is a queen bed that sleeps two, a pullout couch that could sleep two children or two small adults, a small table and chairs, and a full bathroom with tub. We really want our guests to relax and enjoy the outdoors on the deck with table and chairs, and a new firepit down by the river. Dogs are allowed for a $50 fee each. No smoking in the cabin.

The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchenette and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom.

Loved that it’s on the creek, and close to amenities. The back patio is nice. Bed was comfortable. WiFi and/or a TV would be nice, but for the price it’s good. Also is nice that pets are allowed

The quietest place I ever stayed anywhere! Kitchen had everything if you wanted to cook and a grill out on the deck, where I spent a lot of time , watching life out on the river. Shower had plenty of HOT water with great water pressure. Absolutely PERFECT… including contact with the host. I highly recommend this place and will definitely return.

The property was charming and peaceful, with a balcony overlooking the river that made it especially refreshing and serene. While the interior is on the smaller side, it comfortably accommodated our family of four—even with an extra blow-up mattress for one of the kids. The hosts were incredibly responsive; when we accidentally got locked out, they quickly arranged maintenance for us. We would definitely stay here again.

This little cabin is exactly as pictured. It was pet friendly, we had our 2 dogs with us during our stay and the yard was big enough they were able to get out and run around on their leashes. It was clean and tiddy and the deck overlooking the river was amazing! Inside, the bed was comfortable and it has a comfy couch and they even have a few games there to play. The kitchen was stocked with a few pots and pans for cooking on the cooktop along with glasses, cups, plates and silverware. If you are looking for somewhere to disconnect and hit the refresh button this is the place to do it, It was so relaxing and peaceful.
