Beautiful cabin with some faults
Too many ladybugs inside the cabin. We had no water when we arrived my husband had to turn it on outside. The front door and there was another cabin being built and back door didn't stay closed. There was a cable compnay that would park the vehicles there ivernite and would block the entrances and hard to pull into your cabin.shut!
This is our second time staying in this cozy cabin. It is located right on the river which is exactly what we were looking for. Pictures are accurate, has everything you need for cooking in or grilling out. Beds are comfy. Host is quick & responsive. Would definitely recommend!
Wonderful location. Incredible view directly on the river. If you like drinking your coffee overlooking the river… this is the place. We have stayed in this specific house twice and and still love it. Highly recommend for anyone looking to stay in this area.
The cabin was great. Only issue we had was that apparently there was supposed to be a letter with check in information sent. It arrived after we had left on our trip, this created some confusion and frustration until the property manager called me back and got us squared away. Overall very satisfied and will be renting this property again in the future
Overall... was a great place for the two of us. We enjoyed being so close to the Tellico River (but unfortunately forgot my fly rod). We took long scenic drives in the area to Robinnsville, NC, Fontana Dam, Tail of the Dragon and the Cherohala Skyway. Also explored the nearby Cherokee National Forest. Very scenic location!
The only downside is that the cabin's internet access (wifi) was pretty slow and unable to stream TV very well while also using our devices to explore Google Maps, etc. The entire area also suffers from very poor ATT signal. So be aware of that. There are very limited eating and shopping/grocery areas nearby. We don't recommend the walkable Ironworks grill... it seemed poorly run. Go get groceries and supplies in Madisonville.
The house was amazing inside and out. The deck overlooking the river was perfect to sit on and drink coffee in the mornings and listen to the water flowing over the rocks. Location was perfect. Iron Side grill was next door and close to the skyway and close to town. We loved it and will definitely stay there again.
The location is perfect, the river is magnificent and the house / cabin is spectacular. Also, very convenient to enjoy all the Tellico Plains and surrounding beautiful natural sites.
We very much enjoyed our stay in Tellico. Cabin beautiful on the inside, does need a little work on the outside, but river views made up for any problems. Would definitely stay again.
This property was beautifully located on a river. It was exactly as described and the pictures do not do it justice. It was exactly the area we wanted to be in and we hope to be able to go back and visit in the other seasons. The owner was very responsive and the internet worked great. Not a single issue. I would highly recommend this rental.

Beautiful area to vacation in with the family.
The house is very pretty and the area is ideal for relaxing. Other than a few housekeeping issues we enjoyed our stay. VRBO made it very difficult to communicate with the owner upon arrival. They had blocked all his info from us & our info from him. It took forever for us to communicate with one another & get all the appropriate codes from him to just be able to get inside. It is a very relaxing place to spend a few days & unwind.
This was our second stay at this cabin. The deck overlooking the river is a beautiful spot and we love the details of the cabin. There was plenty of room for our family of 5 which includes 2 grown college students and a 14 year old. This is a great getaway and the location is perfect for running into town or going up the river for any outdoor activities. Thanks again for a relaxing weekend. Can’t wait to come back.
