We loved the old cabin and the family history of the cabin. The location was excellent for us. We also hiked the property. I would recommend to others.
The hosts were so welcoming when we signed up for the VRBO. The surrounding and the land around the home was stunning. The history of the home was amazing. The house/cabin was very charming. We had a really nice time in Tellico Plains.

Thank you so much for choosing us ! Please tell your family and friends about us and come back soon! Rich and Kelly
We enjoyed our stay at this clean and lovingly updated cabin. The grounds are beautiful, with walking paths (you can also imagine little gnomes in the hills - ha!), a firepit area (I enjoyed my morning coffee there), and a large and comfortable porch to watch the sunset. The owners could not have been nicer and are nearby if you have any questions, etc. There were 2 of us staying here, but the cabin can easily accommodate a small family. The best feature is probably that the cabin is very private, a great place to unwind.
If you want to relax in the a serine environment, this is definitely the place. This will comfortabley accommodate a family of 4 but will accommodate six.

This was a wonderful find! We loved the cabin and the cool history. The caretaker Joe, stopped by to say hi and provide some great info about the area. We had lots of stuff to do and it provided a great halfway point to meet our college aged daughter. We will certainly stay here again!

Thank you so much! Please tell your friends and family about us!
The cabin is perfect! It’s exactly as described in the listing and the perfect place to stay for activities in the mountains or just to get away. The host is very responsive and the check-in is very easy. We had a perfect stay!
Great place to stay to get away from it all. Close to the Cherokee National Forest with hiking and beautiful waterfalls. Cabin was clean and comfortable with everything needed for a great getaway.
Understanding that the original cabin was built in 1902 and the owners Father had a nice conversation with my husband. It Is unbelievable that Joe and his wife worked so hard in the remodeling of the cabin.

Great place to just get away from everything. Nice and peaceful. Lots of hiking close by if that's your thing, or just sit back and relax (which is what we did most days). 10/10

We had a nice peaceful getaway here and would love to return. We felt very welcome.
The cabin has a rustic feel yet has all the comforts you would want. The cabin is back in the mountains and in a quiet and scenic place allowing you to see more stars at night than you ever imagined. We loved our stay.
