About this property

Fabulous Shack in the heart of Tellico Plains...

Imagine being on the edge of town, within walking distance to everything with the feeling your in the forest. Every feature in the cabin was either hand made or repurposed. Stained glass was custom made and framed. Floors, walls, ceiling and trim work were all meticulously hand sanded in this six month labor of Love. What once started out as a playhouse for my granddaughters has morphed into this.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Fabulous Shack. The little cabin was adorable, comfortable and so unique! The owners were wonderful. They responded quickly and were very helpful! As we were leaving I laid my purse in an outdoor chair while taking pictures of the cabin and then left without it! By the time I realized it…we had been on the road 3 hours. He kindly overnighted it so we wouldn’t have to drive back. Very kind people and great cabin. Don’t hesitate to stay at the Fabulous Shack!

I love this cabin! It’s close to town, but is quiet, and feels secluded. David and his wife are very nice, and usually available if you happen to need anything. The cabin is clean, and had everything I needed for a very pleasant stay. This is my second time staying here, and I am sure I’ll be back!
