About this property
Hiwassee River House Fisherman's Dream
The home sits on the Hiwassee River with a screened in back porch, two decks and a small dock. The lower deck and dock were just rebuilt. The University of Tennessee Tree Farm is on the other side of the River so you are looking at green trees and foliage. There are beautiful views from both bedrooms, dining room and kitchen of the river. Decks and the dock also have a beautiful view of the mountains upstream. The home is located just off of HWY 411 1/2 mile downstream from the 411 bridge. Both bedrooms are located upstairs. One bedroom has a queen size bed and the other has a full size on bottom twin bed on top bunk. All mattresses are new.. A full bath is located between the bedrooms with a tub/shower. The main floor is an open floor plan with living room, dining room and kitchen. There is a 1/2 bath located on the main floor. The leather sofa in the living room is new and sleeps 2 with a sofa bed that pulls out. Pictures have not been updated with new furniture, deck and dock. (This property is one unit of two in a duplex; however the other side will not be occupied while this unit is rented for your privacy. The other side could be rented simultaneously, but we reserve for our own personal use when side A is not rented.)
The property is located 6.8 miles to the Reliance Bridge and Webb Brothers Store. The Hiwassee River is excellent for trout fishing. There are guide services available for fishing and rafting companies which furnish tubes, rafts and fun-yaks located nearby. You can actually fish right from the dock on the property itself! Additionally, many people float the lower Hiwassee. You can float from the Reliance Bridge all the way to the dock on the property or put in on the dock and float down to Patty Bridge for a more relaxing trip. The glider port is located very close and is one of the top rated in the country.
Restaurants are located nearby in Etowah, Benton and Ocoee. The City of Cleveland is a 30 minute drive from the property for finer dining and a larger selection. Steelwheels is almost within walking distance and is excellent for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

About the host
Hosted by Tim Poteet
I grew up approximately a mile from the property on the other side of the Hiwassee River. My wife's family own Savannah Oaks Winery located on the other side of the Hiwassee approximately 1 mile away.
Why they chose this property
The River House is completely relaxing. The gentle flow of the Hiwassee has a way of calming your spirit within minutes of arrival. You won't want to leave.
What makes this property unique
Fish from the dock and deck for Rainbow Trout, Stripe Bass, Large and Small Mouth Bass. Float or Kayak directly from the dock downstream to Patty Bridge for a peaceful relaxed time on the river or go upstream to Reliance for a wilder ride.
