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.

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!
