    I loved the property and the location. It was a slice of heaven and what we were looking for for our family get away to visit family in the area. The only thing I feel that needs addressed is the cleanliness of the cabin in general. There were signs of pests,dirty dishes put back as clean (could be the guests reasonability for cleaning dishes but a simple look over by the cleaner and it could have been addressed) along with the spare pillow and blanket not being clean. It was like they were folded up and put in the bag without being washed because they were visibly dirty. I did not contact the owner as we were only in for a couple days and had a very busy schedule so I did not give them a chance to replace the spare linens. I do believe they would have fixed the issue given a chance because their communication before and after was attentive. This cabin was very affordable and I don't expect things to be perfect just a little cleaner. Over all we enjoyed our stay and would book again.

    It was a very nice and peaceful stay. There isn’t a tv but there was board games and a river right in the back yard so need for a tv! Was able to spend quality time with the family with no electronics in the way! Perfect little get away!

    Loved staying at this dreamy little getaway. It was clean, easy to access and communicate, and the back porch made for a perfect peaceful retreat. Perfect place if you're looking for simplicity and serenity. Will be back!

    The property was clean upon entry. From there it went downhill. It has no oven to cook in very limited on fundamentals for meal prep. Air conditioning would not keep up in 70’s temperatures outside from there the most dangerous was the deck railing if leaned against your going over the side of hill. And possibly getting seriously hurt or paralyzed. I advise that until repairs are made venomous does not rent this property out again. I discussed with owner a partial refund because I could only stay 2 of the 4 days I booked it for due to the heat and danger from decking then venom removed the feedback I had left. So I will not recommend bro to anyone else

    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!!!!

    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

    The location is excellent - just a minute from town and the Cherohala Skyway. The waterfront is nice, and coffee on the deck in the morning is great. The cabin has all the necessities, but is very basic. As others say there's no TV or wifi, though cell service is passable (Verizon), but that's not why you come to a place like this. As for some negatives, I noticed the same septic smell another reviewer mentioned, and the air conditioner is fairly loud and has a hard time keeping up even at night (I stayed there in August). Letting in some fresh cool air in the mornings helped on both counts. A little TLC would take this place from good to great.

    This is just what we needed, great little cabin that feels private on the balcony, private river access and no signal or wifi. Great for a get away. They owners had games and enough kitchen space to cook meals and just hangout. Great family time, the kids has a blast swimming in the river.
