Location: Tellico Plains, East, Tennessee, USA (50 minutes from Knoxville Airport or I-75 in the Smoky Mtns) View Map

Accommodations:  Secluded Mountain Cottage/Home, 5 Bedrooms + Detached Unit, 3 Baths (Sleeps 12-20)

You deserve a luxury vacation in the mountains. This is the perfect site for family reunions or large groups of friends to gather! Enjoy nature and all it has to offer deep in the Appalachian Mountains and the Cherokee National Forest in Monroe County Tennessee, 22 miles east of Vonore & Tellico Plains near the vast Citico Wilderness Area.

The Cottage at Hemlock Grove, located only 50 minutes from I-75 or the Knoxville Airport, tucks you away in extreme privacy and luxury in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. Located in a private hollow on 300 acres you can immerse your senses in all that Nature has to offer. Spend days exploring streams, old growth forests, an old mountaineer homestead, and expansive, unspoiled views after hiking to a private mountain top ridge. This is a true Tennessee mountain experience without roughing it!

For its remoteness, this upscale cottage is surprisingly close to many attractions. Bring your jet-skis or boat and enjoy Tellico and Chilhowee Lakes. Boat ramps are just a few miles away. Abundant trout run in gorgeous, rushing, Citico Creek just minutes away. The Citico forest service road runs along the creek for twenty magnificent miles through the Cherokee National Forest to the breathtaking Cherohala Skyway (Hwy 165) and Indian Boundary Lake.

Thirteen trails, within the National Forest, totaling 57.4 miles provide access to much of Citico Creek Wilderness. For a fun day trip, Dollywood and the other attractions of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg are less than two scenic hours away (76 miles). Scenic drive enthusiasts will love the proximity to the "tail of the dragon" or Highway 129 to Deal's Gap.

  • Our writing group, the StoryLoft Writers, rented this property for a retreat. The kitchen was well-stocked, the bedrooms and living spaces comfortable and the deck provided a wonderful space for an outdoor meal. We had plenty of togetherness, but also ample space to split up and get to the task of writing. The two best things about this particular cottage were: (1) the extreme graciousness and attention to detail provided by the hosts and (2) the remote location with its wonderful quietness. I think it would also make a great place to have a family or friendly gathering or even a work retreat. There is a big yard for children or grownups to play and hiking trails. The surrounding scenery is gorgeous and the distance to the lake completely manageable. I would highly recommend The Cottage at Hemlock Grove.

  • This was our second visit to The Cottage in Hemlock Grove. It is beautiful, clean, and very accomodating for our vacation with another family. The Bunkhouse is also wonderful. The owner has recently added a bathroom and a kitchen area. The children really loved it. The mountains are gorgeous. We enjoyed hiking, playing pool, relaxing in the hot tub, and spending time together as a family. The owner was attentive and concerned with our comfort. We hope to return for a 3rd time next year. We would definitely recommend this place!

  • My family and I had a wonderful vacation at the Hemlock Grove house. Everything about the week was perfect. The weather cooperated and we had beautiful cool mornings to sit on the deck and drink coffee and clear nights to sit around the fire pit and enjoy the evening. My sons and I rode our motorcycles and had a great time riding all the great roads in the area. The Dragon is less than an hour away and the Cherahala skyway is even closer. However, the local roads are just as much fun to ride, plenty of turns and twists and lots and lots of gorgeous scenery. The lakes and the streams in the area are spectacular. We also had a great time hiking the trails around the house, playing pool and relaxing on the deck and front porch. There were eight in our party and the house had plenty of room for us all and with 3 bathrooms, I never heard anyone complain. The bedrooms were very warm and comfortable and the family room and living room afforded plenty of space for everyone to “have their own space” if they so chose. We had a wonderful time at Hemlock house and look forward to returning in the future.

  • Absolutly wonderful! Hemlock Grove was more than anything we could have anticipated. Our three children were in heaven. Pristine accomodations consistant with incredible vistas. We left with great memories of the beauty of nature and the serenity of Hemlock Grove. Thank you so much for being who you are and for sharing Hemlock Grove with us. Todd Jakelis

  • Our family reunion! All had agreed on the dates and we had reserved several cabins at Watts Bar Dam - but it turned out to be undesirable. Frantically, the month before we were to meet (23 July) I was trying to find a place for 25 family members from New Mexico, Colorado, South Carolina, North CArolina, Ohio, Georgia and Alabama to congregate. Somehow we ran across Hemlock Grove. ( A God moment - - vacation rentals by owner VRBO). It was absolutely perfect! Fully equipped for preparation of Thanksgiving dinner (in July). The bunk house was a godsend. Six children had their own hideaway - they called it a childrens paradise. Pool table, craft table, fridge. It is a lovely warm home we thoroughly enjoyed. Secluded, inviting. We also rented Lakewood for the overflow and it also was a lovely place to stay. All in all we had a wonderful stay. The cottage accommadated our family tradition of Charades and a Bocce tournment. We had a lot of rain and were without power for a while - but Woody, the caretaker was Johhny on the spot with a phone call. I would heartily recommend the cottage at Hemlock Grove or the Lakehouse to anyone looking for a lovely place to stay in Tennessee. The owner was very attentive. Thanks!

  • Thank you so much for a wonderful stay at Hemlock Grove. It was the perfect getaway for our family reunion; an excellent value, quiet, spacious, very comfortable, and clean as a whistle! There was plenty of seating and space for everyone and a dining table big enough for all to sit and enjoy the good meals we cooked in that well equipped kitchen. Every night after dinner we sat on the deck enjoying the smell of a wood fire waiting for our nightly entertainment... a continuous procession of fireflies followed by a profusion of stars! We live in a bustling city so those magnificent, calm, starry mountain summer nights were special to us. There was even the scent of Magnolias from the trees in the front yard... We WILL be back. Hemlock Grove is in our hearts forever.

  • Hemlock Grove was a great house for us to stay at. What a beautiful area and house. We could hike and relax and not worry about hearing traffic.

  • This was our first visit to this area, and we enjoyed a memorable visit to The House in Hemlock Grove. This very spacious and well-appointed house is situated in a glen crowned with majestic hemlocks and magnolias. If one longs for a quiet and serene place away from the noise and traffic of urban life, this is certainly a place to visit. While located among stately trees adjacent to the Cherokee National Forest and near the beautiful lakes of Chilhowee and Tellico, there is much to see and do for both children and adults in the local area. It is very rare these days to be able to stay in such a very nice 5 bedroom house for the price of a standard hotel room. We are very glad we found it.

  • We organized a small family reunion at Christmas and stayed at Hemlock Grove. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The grounds and home were clean, beautiful and comfortable. Thanks, Lee for a great time.
