About this property

Fabulous Shack in the heart of Tellico Plains...

Imagine being on the edge of town, within walking distance to everything with the feeling your in the forest. Every feature in the cabin was either hand made or repurposed. Stained glass was custom made and framed. Floors, walls, ceiling and trim work were all meticulously hand sanded in this six month labor of Love. What once started out as a playhouse for my granddaughters has morphed into this.

Very Pleasant Stay

Mr. DeWalt was a great host. Made us feel right at home. By far one of my best VRBO experience. I highly recommend this host and place. You will not be disappointed. We are planning another trip back for next year.

Really cute cabin. I liked laying in the bed looking up at the beautiful wood ceiling. There are so many unique features in this cabin. The grounds are manicured with gardens and flowers. Very clean. You can tell the owner is very detail oriented and this was a work of love building this cabin. Lots of attention to little details. You do have to drive to everything but not far. I wouldn’t feel comfortable walking the road down to the store just because people do drive fast on the roads up there in the mountains It’s great for a couple nights and to see the lake and waterfall nearby. The owner was helpful and made us feel very welcome. If in the area I would definitely stay again. I’ve never seen any cabin as cute as this.

I love this cabin! It’s close to town, but is quiet, and feels secluded. David and his wife are very nice, and usually available if you happen to need anything. The cabin is clean, and had everything I needed for a very pleasant stay. This is my second time staying here, and I am sure I’ll be back!

We would/will definitely stay here again. Very clean inside and out. The attention to details is perfect. The property owner is very friendly, he promptly came out with a block to assist upon our arrival to accommodate my husband’s motorcycle. He also gave good advice on navigating the area. The location could not have been any better! Easy access. I can honestly say there was nothing about the experience that was bad. Communication with the host before and during our stay was great. I will look forward to coming back again to stay specifically at this place, because one weekend for that area just isn’t enough time. Great experience!!

Getaway Weekend

David's cabin was the perfect spot for a quick weekend getaway to Tellico Plains. He was ready for us when we got there and showed us the specifics of the property. Located on a quiet road but very close to town made it an ideal location for us to get to all the places we wanted to go quickly. Fully stocked with everything you'd need other than a stove/oven (we just used the outdoor grill). Easy to control temperature and well insulated. 10/10 would stay here again!
