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 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.

Love this little cabin. Perfect for just me or just me and my son! Right on the water and easy access to the river upstream. If you're solo or have a buddy / kid, this is the spot. Everything you need to cook, super clean and comfortable.

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.

The property was clean upon entry. From there it went downhill. It has no oven to cook in very limited on fundamentals for meal prep. Air conditioning would not keep up in 70’s temperatures outside from there the most dangerous was the deck railing if leaned against your going over the side of hill. And possibly getting seriously hurt or paralyzed. I advise that until repairs are made venomous does not rent this property out again. I discussed with owner a partial refund because I could only stay 2 of the 4 days I booked it for due to the heat and danger from decking then venom removed the feedback I had left. So I will not recommend bro to anyone else

Perfect Getaway

Me and my hubby enjoyed our getaway and stay at this cute little cabin. It was perfect in every way. Accessibility to The Tellico River, waking up in the morning and having a coffee by the river was amazing. Had everything we needed for a private perfect getaway. The hosts were very communicable and even accommodated us by bringing a small grill so we could grill out one evening. We will be back again!!!!

I loved the property and the location. It was a slice of heaven and what we were looking for for our family get away to visit family in the area. The only thing I feel that needs addressed is the cleanliness of the cabin in general. There were signs of pests,dirty dishes put back as clean (could be the guests reasonability for cleaning dishes but a simple look over by the cleaner and it could have been addressed) along with the spare pillow and blanket not being clean. It was like they were folded up and put in the bag without being washed because they were visibly dirty. I did not contact the owner as we were only in for a couple days and had a very busy schedule so I did not give them a chance to replace the spare linens. I do believe they would have fixed the issue given a chance because their communication before and after was attentive. This cabin was very affordable and I don't expect things to be perfect just a little cleaner. Over all we enjoyed our stay and would book again.

Very nice area and secluded. Yard needed to be mowed but it also has been raining so that could have cause mowing to be delayed. Creek was amazing
