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!

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!

The cabin was cozy and very homey with snacks and lots of information about the surrounding area. The location was beautiful with seclusion but still close to town and the Skyway. We will definitely stay here again.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay! Remember where you traveled to, there are no building codes for steps in our area lol. Septic and electric are the only things that have to comply to any codes. Welcome To The country!

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!
