Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear that you found the home comfortable and welcoming, and that communication was seamless throughout your stay. Your comment about it being the best Vrbo you’ve stayed at is truly the highest compliment—we sincerely appreciate it. We hope to welcome you back again in the future!
The location of the house is perfect. It was centralized and was close to the Wellness Center. The house had everything we needed for our week long stay. The hosts were responsive to any questions we had. Thank you.
Wonderful home to relax in with high vaulted ceilings & sky lights and a spacious screened in porch off the living room. The kitchen was modern & well stocked with a laundry room located off of it. Communication with the owners was informative & timely. Would stay here again if in the area.

Thank you for the great review. You were a pleasure to host and hope you visit again.
We stayed here for six nights and absolutely loved it! The place was clean, cozy and felt very homey the moment we walked in. Everything was well kept, and it was a really comfortable space to relax and unwind. The hosts were fantastic, super responsive, friendly, and clearly care about their guests. Communication was easy and quick, which we really appreciated! The beds deserve a special mention because they were incredibly comfortable. I honestly didn’t want to get up in the mornings! Overall, a wonderful place to stay, and we’d happily recommend it to anyone!Thank you Michele and Alissa!!

Glad to hear that you loved your stay, that truly means a lot to us! Thank you for your wonderful review. We are happy that you will be calling Tellico Village your new home and to call you our neighbors.
We enjoyed our stay very much! It was quiet and clean. We didn’t use the pool… just enjoyed relaxing in the house and on the screened in porch. It was the perfect distance from our friends that we were there to visit. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay there again!! :))

Checking out Tellico Village as a retirement option
Property was centrally located and perfect for getting a feel for Tellico Village. Highly recommend this house as a place for relaxing and being close to the amenities of Tellico Village.
This was truly our home away from home. We stayed here for 1.5 months while we house hunted. Michelle was a wonderful host. The home was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. I so enjoyed the sweet symphony of birds chirping every morning too, it was nature’s orchestra indeed.

Thank you Susan for the great review. So glad you enjoyed your stay and you are welcome back anytime!
Michele and Alissa made sure that their “Lakeside Happy Place” became mine and my husband’s “Lakeside Happy Place”. The outdoor features on their place make this home very relaxing and refreshing - fire pit area, outdoor porch area and a screened-in porch area. The kitchen has all of the necessities for cooking meals: pots, pans, cooking utensils, etc. The open concept of the house (kitchen, dining area, and living area) is very comfortable and quite large. Communication with Michele and Alissa was excellent - they were very attentive to our questions and response time was quick. My husband I were very pleased with our stay - while there it did become our “Happy Place”!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review, so glad you were both very happy. When our guests are happy, we are happy. You were perfect guests and you are welcome back anytime!
My wife and I stayed a month at this property. We enjoyed our stay. The best aspects of the property were the screened in porch, the video games, the decor and the communication with the owners.
Great home. Beautiful neighborhood and views from back deck. House was well stocked with everything needed. Communication was wonderful with the hosts. Will be back again.

Thanks for being great guests and for the wonderful review.
This was a great spot for us while we searched for a lot to build our retirement home. Lots of construction in the area - totally no reflection on the owner.
Tellico Village is a beautiful area with mountains and lakes! It's conveniently located to many recreational areas. This property is very private, clean and well stocked. You can tell that the owners take a lot of pride in this property. We were blessed every evening with the presence of a beautiful Doe and her two Fawns. We would definitely rent here again.
The 2 bed room cottage was just as described and worked well for my wife and I. open concept, screened in deck for quite morning coffee facing the woods. It was very clean and well maintained. Could use a few minor conveniences - a coffee pot for coffee drinkers (not a fan of K-cups), hangers in the closets, a few more cooking utensils/pans (we donated a non-stick and from Dollar General). We would certainly stay there again...

Hi Doug. Glad you enjoyed your stay! Regarding the hangers, we left about 8-12 hangers in each closet. I guess a previous guest took them! Sorry about that, we didn’t know & will be handling that.
About the host
Hosted by Michele Albohn
I live in New York and am a business owner. I fell in love with Tennessee the first time I came to visit from New York. The people, the cities, the parks, I could go on and on. I will retire in TN in the future
Why they chose this property
This property is my second home. I come for peace and serenity. It is a very special home to me, although it is not the biggest in the Village or on the lake. This home has a peaceful and calming energy and when relaxing in the screened in porch, I feel like I am in a luxury tree house, listening to the birds and watching for deer. We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do!
What makes this property unique
I fell in love with this the first time I saw it, driving up there were several deer in the next door lot. Upon walking in, I knew this was special. There is an adorable swing on the front porch, and the beautiful and peaceful screened in porch. Breathe......
