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.

Great cabin
Place was wonderful, very well equipped & very large. We loved ut & it would be even better in warmer weather, as you could sit on the screened in porch or outside on the lower deck -all overlooking the Hiwasee River. The host was very easy to work with & even had it beautifully decorated for Christmas!

Great getaway
We were on the go with our daughter’s wedding but the time that we did sat at the house was very nice. The house was very clean and lived up to the expectations we had from the pictures and description. The back porch was amazing —- spent time out there watching and listening to the water. It is also a quiet neighborhood. We will definitely stay there again if we ever find ourselves in that area.

Peaceful River Front House in the East Tennessee Mountains
Tim and Mary were great hosts. Met them as we checked in. House is clean in a very safe and quiet neighborhood. Almost no traffic. The river is beautiful and the backdrop of the mountains make it a very special place. Mary's family owns Savanna Oaks Winery less than 2 miles - so visited for a tasting - picked up some wine and cheese sat on back deck and listened to band (which Tim was part of). Very nice experience. 25 minute drive into work in Celelvand - no traffic. Cherokee National Forest - less than 5 minutes away - lots of places to walk and site see. Really enjoyed everything about the stay.

Spectacular!
Great being on the river. Location is perfect for getting out and doing so much like, whitewater rafting, driving to Cherokee, the Cherohala Skyway, the Tail of the Dragon, and so much more. Tim was great, lots of help and easy to work with.

Relaxing stay at this Hiawassee River Retreat
We had the relaxing pleasure of staying at this home on the Hiawassee River and can recommend it as a wonderful place to stay. The house itself was comfortable and well equipped, and the yard and surroundings were beautiful. While the home and surroundings were great, there were two things that we found exceptional. The screened in porch was the perfect place to take in the mornings and evenings with its amazing views of the river, ceiling fans to move the air and plenty of options for sitting and connecting with others. The second was the Hiawassee River itself. The water was crystal clear and we enjoyed tying out float to the doc and sitting in the water watching people and wildlife float by. Tim was great at answering questions and responded quickly to every inquiry.

Peaceful and relaxing home.
We had a girls vacation with tweens and adults. We enjoyed the home very much. It’s clean, comfortable, and relaxing. We were able to get into the river right from the dock. We also went to Webb’s to rent kayaks as well. We drove to Benton Falls and hiked to see the gorgeous falls. Everything was close by and didn’t require to be in the car much.

About the host

Hosted by Tim Poteet

Host profile image
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.
