This cabin was excellent overall. We found it to be exceptionally clean, cozy and comfortable. The owners are very available and helpful. The daily variety of birds made music every morning; fun to watch their feeder visits along with the squirrels. Though a very rural location the wifi worked well. We highly recommend the cabin and put it at the top of our list for this area. Hope to return soon!

Cozy little cottage with fabulous sunset over the water.

Tucked back in a very private neighborhood along the Tellico Lake with an unforgettable sunset. Every detail provided, a lovely take you for staying with us card, and a gift basket of goodies from the host. Great water pressure for a nice hot shower on a chilly day, all TV channels that we needed, a deck to hang out and watch the sunset and the birds gather around the feeders. Thank you for a relaxing time.

What a wonderful place.

We stayed for a week and loved it! The hosts are welcoming, kind and thoughtful people who obviously create an atmosphere of welcome, comfort and “home”. We felt relaxed & laid back throughout our visit. Such a cute, clean and comfortable home base for exploring the area. Next time we plan to spend our visit on the porch and in the lake!

Weekend stay

Stayed 2 nights. Hosts were amazing, had special anniversary gift waiting when we arrived. (Hosts live next door) All provisions for outdoor firepit provided. Did not have time to kayak, but rentals were available. 3 miles from Fort Loudoun and Sequoyah Museum. Chose this property due to proximity to Cherohala skyway and Joyce Kilmer forest. Very relaxing property tucked away away in a lake cove. EveythinSkyway

I don't think I can say enough about this place. Everything was so well thought out. All aspects of they stay were taken into consideration. I met the owners and they are the nicest people. I totally recommend this place to anyone wanting to get away and unwind. I was not able to be there as much as I would have liked due to business but I have shared this with my wife and we have decided to make this a frequent destination. Love it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Loved our stay at this cozy cottage!

We stayed in this cozy cottage for 3 weeks. The owners were welcoming, attentive and caring. On a daily basis, they checked in on us to see if there was anything we needed. This was true Southern Hospitality. We appreciated the welcome basket and enjoyed getting to know the owners. We would love to come back! Clean and well-cared for home.
