The home sits on the Hiwassee River with a screened in back porch, two decks and a small dock. The lower deck and dock were just rebuilt. The University of Tennessee Tree Farm is on the other side of the River so you are looking at green trees and foliage. There are beautiful views from both bedrooms, dining room and kitchen of the river. Decks and the dock also have a beautiful view of the mountains upstream. The home is located just off of HWY 411 1/2 mile downstream from the 411 bridge. Both bedrooms are located upstairs. One bedroom has a queen size bed and the other has a full size on bottom twin bed on top bunk. All mattresses are new.. A full bath is located between the bedrooms with a tub/shower. The main floor is an open floor plan with living room, dining room and kitchen. There is a 1/2 bath located on the main floor. The leather sofa in the living room is new and sleeps 2 with a sofa bed that pulls out. Pictures have not been updated with new furniture, deck and dock. (This property is one unit of two in a duplex; however the other side will not be occupied while this unit is rented for your privacy. The other side could be rented simultaneously, but we reserve for our own personal use when side A is not rented.)
The property is located 6.8 miles to the Reliance Bridge and Webb Brothers Store. The Hiwassee River is excellent for trout fishing. There are guide services available for fishing and rafting companies which furnish tubes, rafts and fun-yaks located nearby. You can actually fish right from the dock on the property itself! Additionally, many people float the lower Hiwassee. You can float from the Reliance Bridge all the way to the dock on the property or put in on the dock and float down to Patty Bridge for a more relaxing trip. The glider port is located very close and is one of the top rated in the country. Restaurants are located nearby in Etowah, Benton and Ocoee. The City of Cleveland is a 30 minute drive from the property for finer dining and a larger selection. Steelwheels is almost within walking distance and is excellent for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

We had a great stay here very clean and just an all around great get away place owner is very friendly and answered all our questions with no hesitation 👍😁
Beautiful home with a gorgeous view! Was not a fan of the Tempur Pedic bed,not sure if this was the brand, in one of the bedrooms but otherwise great place and location!
We picked this property based on proximity to the railroad museum and Copper Hill Special Train ride! The property was beautiful and less than 2 miles from the train depot! Can’t wait to come back for a fly fishing trip. Property is amazing! Thanks!
Comfortable and relaxing stay right on the river. If you like the water and nature this place is perfect. The host was super helpful and answered all our questions. Highly recommend.
Great location on the Hiwassee River. Accommodations were very comfortable. Quiet and peaceful with beautiful scenery. Restaurants were close by and quick trip into Etowah for supplies. Fishing was great also.
This house was perfect for a quiet place to stay on the river while visiting family for the holidays. The house was clean, the property was nice! Will try to book the house again in the summer when we can actually enjoy the river access!
Place was wonderful, very well equipped & very large. We loved ut & it would be even better in warmer weather, as you could sit on the screened in porch or outside on the lower deck -all overlooking the Hiwasee River. The host was very easy to work with & even had it beautifully decorated for Christmas!
Very nice house and property. Nice screened back porch and deck leading down to the river. Nice area to relax. Great host with fast communication response. Enjoyed the stay.
The property was great and very open. The owner was very willing to fix any issues that we had during our stay. We were close to the Reliance Center and the fishing off the dock was a lot of fun. We look forward to returning to the this wonderful getaway.
Amazing place right on the river, very peaceful and secluded. Tim was very quick to respond. Loved every second of the little vacation we had!

About the host
Hosted by Tim Poteet
I grew up approximately a mile from the property on the other side of the Hiwassee River. My wife's family own Savannah Oaks Winery located on the other side of the Hiwassee approximately 1 mile away.
Why they chose this property
The River House is completely relaxing. The gentle flow of the Hiwassee has a way of calming your spirit within minutes of arrival. You won't want to leave.
What makes this property unique
Fish from the dock and deck for Rainbow Trout, Stripe Bass, Large and Small Mouth Bass. Float or Kayak directly from the dock downstream to Patty Bridge for a peaceful relaxed time on the river or go upstream to Reliance for a wilder ride.
