Lodge at Tellico

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay, clean and comfortable and not far from town"

This unique tiny home is right in the heart of downtown.

10/10 Excellent

"The property was very clean. It is small, but has a large front porch. It was great for what I was in town for."

Riverside Premium Cabin

8/10 Good

"The cabin is easy to find and quiet even though it’s on popular Cherohala Skyway. The Iron Works restaurant is an easy walk to grab a meal. The beds were comfortable and having three full bathrooms (one for each adult couple) was a huge plus. Oddly though, there were men’s clothes in the main bedroom closet and only a partial roll of tp in each bathroom. None of the bathrooms had toiletries other than hand soap and the hairdryer only worked on the low setting. Thankfully I remembered to pack my own. The dishwasher was broken and even though the host was responsive, he and his property manager weren’t able to fix it during our stay. The interior of the home was clean except for the stove, the face of which had a thick coating of grease. We could only get one burner to light. The kitchen has a beverage cooler, a nice bonus that we used to chill our bottled water. The exterior of the cabin is suffering from lack of maintenance. The picture window was streaked with what appeared to be bird doo, the deck was in desperate need of a deep power wash and the deck furniture was mismatched and outdated. There was no shade on the deck and the grill was dirty. The interior of the cabin is cozy, and parking was underneath because the cabin is elevated. Overall our weekend stay was comfortable though we were disappointed that routine maintenance appears to have been neglected."

"Very nice location And quiet setting"

The Trout House, Mountain Retreat | Tellico Plains – Stylish 2BR/2BA Escape for 6 by Design Center D...

10/10 Excellent

"The home was as adorable as the pics and well equipped with all we needed plus a few extras. It’s just a couple blocks from great shopping and dining in town. I don’t recommend having anyone sleep on the couch as there were no window coverings for privacy and the lights from town are bright. So I truly think this home only sleeps 4, which makes it pricey. Also, the outdoor area was so cute but there were lots of ants everywhere. Overall we had a great stay!"
