Rustic East Tennessee Mountain Cabin overlooking Historic Coker Creek

About Rosemary Pound

In 2010 while on vacation from Florida, my husband and I found a beautiful property in the East Tennessee mountains to build our vacation cabin. After retirement as a School Administrator, years of traveling and building nearing completion, we shifted gears and decided to make our cabin our permanent home. So, in 2014, we packed up our two rescue dogs and moved full time to this beautiful area. We haven't looked back since. In 2016, fearful of running out of projects (lol), we purchased an adjacent property with a long time vacation rental in need of work. After months of blood, sweat and yes, some tears we are ready to re-offer "This Ole Bear" to vacationers of these beautiful mountains.

Why Rosemary Pound chose Tellico Plains

My husband and I are long time RVers and love to travel and explore. Taken by the beauty of this area, we searched for an RV friendly property that could serve our needs for a few months out of the year. We found the perfect property in the Cherokee National Forest a short distance up a mountain over looking a beautiful creek with a rich history and some of the most scenic falls right down the road, but..... restricted against RV's. Convinced this was the perfect location for us we built our dream vacation cabin instead. It truly was a labor of love that we never regretted.

Why vacation in someones part time home when you can stay in your own mountain retreat.
