About this property

Tellico River Retreat

Completely unplug after touring the Cherohala Skyway or hiking at the falls in our private rustic cabin on the water just two minutes off the world-famous Cherohala Skyway on Tellico River. This queen bed one-room cabin with a full bathroom has all of the essentials you need for a quiet couples getaway or small family trip. Enjoy the scenic views of the river on the deck overlooking the water, or walk down to the river to relax by the firepit and build a fire.

The space
This is a small cabin with kitchenette with all of the basic essentials to have meals at home. All linens are provided. There is a queen bed that sleeps two, a pullout couch that could sleep two children or two small adults, a small table and chairs, and a full bathroom with tub. We really want our guests to relax and enjoy the outdoors on the deck with table and chairs, and a new firepit down by the river. Dogs are allowed for a $50 fee each. No smoking in the cabin.

Loved that it’s on the creek, and close to amenities. The back patio is nice. Bed was comfortable. WiFi and/or a TV would be nice, but for the price it’s good. Also is nice that pets are allowed

The quietest place I ever stayed anywhere! Kitchen had everything if you wanted to cook and a grill out on the deck, where I spent a lot of time , watching life out on the river. Shower had plenty of HOT water with great water pressure. Absolutely PERFECT… including contact with the host. I highly recommend this place and will definitely return.

The property was charming and peaceful, with a balcony overlooking the river that made it especially refreshing and serene. While the interior is on the smaller side, it comfortably accommodated our family of four—even with an extra blow-up mattress for one of the kids. The hosts were incredibly responsive; when we accidentally got locked out, they quickly arranged maintenance for us. We would definitely stay here again.

We were in the area for some spring whitewater paddling and this little cabin was perfect. Right off of main street and just a short drive into the mountains. Would definitely stay here again!

Once I got the passcode and went inside I was pleasantly surprised to even find coffee and condiments. Lots of towels, no soaps, the unit water, hot and cold, we're backwards in the bathroom but everywhere else works just fine. The place was very clean very simple but it could have used a bigger table and chairs. Another surprise was they even had a barbecue grill out back and there was charcoal and lighter fluid, nice touch. The only minor nitpick were all the dead bugs in the windows because I was able to open the windows and have fresh air and listen to the stream but the window sills were full of dead bugs

Very nice area and secluded. Yard needed to be mowed but it also has been raining so that could have cause mowing to be delayed. Creek was amazing

Perfect Getaway

Me and my hubby enjoyed our getaway and stay at this cute little cabin. It was perfect in every way. Accessibility to The Tellico River, waking up in the morning and having a coffee by the river was amazing. Had everything we needed for a private perfect getaway. The hosts were very communicable and even accommodated us by bringing a small grill so we could grill out one evening. We will be back again!!!!
