About this property

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.

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

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!!!!

We were in the area for some spring whitewater paddling and this little cabin was perfect. Right off of main street and just a short drive into the mountains. Would definitely stay here again!

Cabin retreat

This is just what we needed, great little cabin that feels private on the balcony, private river access and no signal or wifi. Great for a get away. They owners had games and enough kitchen space to cook meals and just hangout. Great family time, the kids has a blast swimming in the river.

Perfect Getaway!

We had a wonderful time! Clean and cozy cabin right on the Tellico River! It was the perfect place to disconnect, relax and listen to the river while sitting on the back deck. The bed was very comfy. Hosts were wonderful and quick to respond to any questions. Recommend Iron Works Grille and Big Bear Tubing right around the corner, and Bradley's BBQ in the next town, Sweetwater. We will 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

Nice spot, but some maintenance needed

The location is excellent - just a minute from town and the Cherohala Skyway. The waterfront is nice, and coffee on the deck in the morning is great. The cabin has all the necessities, but is very basic. As others say there's no TV or wifi, though cell service is passable (Verizon), but that's not why you come to a place like this. As for some negatives, I noticed the same septic smell another reviewer mentioned, and the air conditioner is fairly loud and has a hard time keeping up even at night (I stayed there in August). Letting in some fresh cool air in the mornings helped on both counts. A little TLC would take this place from good to great.
