About this property

River Road Hideout PRIVATE RIVER ACCESS! Pet friendly

Welcome to Tellico Plains! Tucked away on the side of Bullet Mountain, you will find our log cabin which was custom built in 2015 and situated on 10 wooded acres. This cabin served as our primary residence until 2020, when we bought additional property and made the difficult decision to leave our beloved cabin on the mountain. Now, we want to share this experience with you, and hope you enjoy your time at the cabin as much as we did! Motorcycle and Angler friendly!

Beginning May 8th you will have private access to the Tellico River via our farm across the road. Take a dip and cool off or go wet a line just 300 yards from your front door!

Perfect Place

I was visiting Tellico Plains for a fishing trip. This cabin was the perfect location to get into town and to access the Cherokee National Forest. The hosts were accommodating and easy to communicate with. I would definitely stay here again.

Amazing house 5 minutes from Cherohala Skyway and Tellico River

My brother and I visited specifically for Tail of the Dragon and Cherohala Skyway. This beautiful house was just a cherry on top! Lisa had a binder with local things to do and check out that was very helpful, and I would highly recommend her advice now. Wish we could have stayed longer! Definitely want to come back here

Peace & tranquility

Cabin was clean, neat & well stocked. Tucked into a wooded area on a hill with a front & back sitting area. Access to property across the road alongside the river. Watched turkey walking the field & bass swimming in the river. Owner was helpful in providing a fly fishing contact. Great coffee shop & bakery was a short drive in town. 👍great for a get away & solitude.

Amazing

Where to begin? Location, tucked just inside the forest, this makes for privacy,peace,and quiet. The cabin, very clean, with creative decorating. Love the rustic look and the stairs to the second floor were so impressive. If you wish for the true "cabin experience", this is spot for you. This is definitely gonna be our "go to" for time away from home. Thanks to our host you rank the highest level of all hosts.

The photos of this beautiful cabin do not do it justice. This cabin was definitely built with love and has so much character. The hosts were very hospitable and communicated quickly. I would have loved to stay longer. From coffee on the front porch, hearing the owls and nature and grilling out on the porch - this cabin was the perfect getaway for me and my children. Walking to the private swimming area was a little hard because of the hill but well worth it. We will definitely be back to enjoy the cabin again. Highly recommend staying in this slice of heaven on earth!!!

Perfection!

Our stay at your cabin was absolutely perfect! The cabin was thoughtfully stocked with coffee and snacks, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Its location was ideal—close enough to town for convenience but far enough away to enjoy the peaceful seclusion.The private river access was a highlight of our trip! Our dog loved playing by the water while my husband got to fish. Even though the lower river road was partially shut down for bridge repairs, it didn’t stop us from having an amazing time exploring Tellico and trout fishing.We loved visiting the Trout Mountain Coffeehouse and Tellico Outfitters, where the kind shop owner gave us excellent directions for fishing the upper Tellico River. The local dining options were a treat as well—both the Mexican restaurant and the Iron Works Grille were fantastic (Iron Works Grille easily earns 5 stars!).We completely fell in love with your cabin and Tellico itself. We can’t wait to return and share this wonderful experience with our daughters. Thank you for providing such a lovely place for us to create these unforgettable memories! We can’t wait to visit again!

Tellico

A relaxing getaway. The hosts were great and supportive. The house itself was very unique and had a lot of artistic handiwork. The location was perfect since they have property across the street with the river running through it. Our dog absolutely loved it.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa L Hertz

Host profile image
Hello! We are James and Lisa Hertz, a husband and wife with two goofy dogs. We love this Cabin and all East Tennessee has to offer.

Why they chose this property

We built this custom log cabin in 2015, and it served as our primary residence until recently. We purchased more land and another home, and couldn't bare the thought of selling our first home together, and decided to offer it for others to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

Unlike some "cabins" in this area, this is an actual custom built log home, situated on 10 acres, as opposed to a prefabricated building that has been finished out. We are minutes from the Cherohala Skyway, the Tellico River, and the Cherokee National Forest, and a few miles from Bald River Falls. Hiking trails are abundant in the area for outdoor enthusiasts. We are motorcycle, angler and pet friendly. Come see all East Tennessee has to offer or just hang out and enjoy quiet time around the fire pit or playing cornhole!
