Cozy little cottage with fabulous sunset over the water.

Tucked back in a very private neighborhood along the Tellico Lake with an unforgettable sunset. Every detail provided, a lovely take you for staying with us card, and a gift basket of goodies from the host. Great water pressure for a nice hot shower on a chilly day, all TV channels that we needed, a deck to hang out and watch the sunset and the birds gather around the feeders. Thank you for a relaxing time.

Shoreline Peace

This cabin was excellent overall. We found it to be exceptionally clean, cozy and comfortable. The owners are very available and helpful. The daily variety of birds made music every morning; fun to watch their feeder visits along with the squirrels. Though a very rural location the wifi worked well. We highly recommend the cabin and put it at the top of our list for this area. Hope to return soon!

What a wonderful place.

We stayed for a week and loved it! The hosts are welcoming, kind and thoughtful people who obviously create an atmosphere of welcome, comfort and “home”. We felt relaxed & laid back throughout our visit. Such a cute, clean and comfortable home base for exploring the area. Next time we plan to spend our visit on the porch and in the lake!

About the host

Hosted by Lavette Pike

Host profile image
I have lived here in Vonore all my life and a 3rd generation on this property. I enjoy doing restoration projects and gardening. Joe and I enjoy getting away to out favorite PCB beach get away going off shore or inlet fishing, we enjoy turkey hunting in the spring and camping. Sitting by the fire in the afternoon and something on the smoker is a favorite of ours.

Why they chose this property

Sitting by a fire with a cup of coffee and watching the eagles and ospreys in the morning and afternoon. Walking less than a 100 yards to the water with a rod and reel for some fishing, or sitting reading your favorite book. Put your kayak in and take a trip around the bend to see deer and turkeys on the banks of the lake. Fishing here is really good, from crappie to bass and even night fishing for catfish.
