IF YOU HAVE A TRAILER it is best to drive past the home, go to the "Beach Drive-In" and turn around there. Go back to the driveway and back your trailer up the drive way. Pay attention to oncoming traffic! Especially motorcycles. 18' trailer is about the limit.

July at Tellico River

Great view of Tellico River and neighborhood with lots of character, good restaurant up the road and 50s style authentic drive in restaurant nearby. Cabin is roomy and has great bed but spotty internet and worse cell signal. No access to river and road between cabin and river was noisy with motorcycles, sports cars and trucks. Fantastic drive through mountains to North Carolina on Cherohala Skyway. Good cabin for money and friendly owners.

Perfect Weekend Getaway Spot

The cottage is very quaint and the artworks are all originals by one of the property owners. All the essentials were provided. It is very relaxing to sit at the table and visit, play cards, watch streaming movies, etc and listen to the river flowing through the rapids on the other side of the road. The location is very central to all things “Tellico” as we hiked, fished, dined out and even played a round of golf 30 minutes away in Tellico Village. Chilly but still nice. We would recommend this cozy cottage to anyone looking for a nice weekend away from the hustle and bustle as we move back to the previous “norm”.

Excellent

The house was very clean and nice. Water pressure was great. When it got dark it was very quiet. Loved listening to the water from the river across the street. Plenty of room for two people. Great location for where we wanted to go. Close to all the gravel roads/trails. Bed was very comfortable. We were gone from sunrise to sunset so we were thankful the bed was comfy. Wonderful place for a weekend getaway. There was no cable or satellite but there was WiFi. We brought our Roku and had no problems connecting to the internet. Futon was not comfortable to sit or even lay on to watch TV. Maybe an upgrade of the futon or maybe a couch would make this place perfect!

Great Place

Very clean and comfortable, convenient to everything you would need. We used it as a base for fishing in the park and it is a perfect location, we will be back for sure! My only suggestion is to put an aerator on the kitchen faucet to keep the water from spraying out.

Very good getaway with total peace ad quiet.

The property was well maintained with a very comfy bed, I have two somewhat minor disappointments. Viewing the river and listening to it was great, however getting to it was not as great. The property across from the staying location was posted private property. Also, there wasn't any television reception, not always a negative but in this case I wanted to watch the Democratic debates One final note a toaster would have been nice. On a very good note, the owner's parents are staying next door, great people with a lot of life experience to share, we loved them. Overall I would definetely stay again....thanks..Tom and Cherie.

Cherohala Renewal & Retreat

Beautiful area, especially if you do the whole Cherohala Skyway drive. The visitor center was great also. No phone service for AT&T subscribers, unless you drove to town, but I don’t use the phone much anyway so wasn’t a problem. The WiFi was weak, but I was usually able to get texts out without pictures, but you’re in the mountains, so expected.
