Cabin was very clean. Cabin was supplied with everything. From dishes, pot holders, crockpot, pots pans everything!!!The creek was absolutely lovely.The only problem was the neighbor on the right side on Saturday run his powersaw and leaf plower all day and even after dark he actually wore a head lamp to see. He was right on the property line. It was a little bothersome but it didn't ruin our time there. It says on 25 acres but i dont no where the other 24 1/2 acres were located at. Had a great relaxing time. Will rent again!!

The good and bad

Other cabins are too close. Cleaning fee is higher than anyone else in this region. The stove needs attention. From other reviews it seemed no concerns had been addressed. We enjoyed the porch and the swing. The creek was lovely. It was a little difficult to get to, but we enjoyed its peaceful sound.

Hi Tina, We were sorry to hear that the cabin fell short of your expectations: -We encourage guests to research the area before booking to ensure it is the right fit for their needs - We do include a map on our listing so that guests can see the approximate location of the home prior to booking, but we apologize that this caught you off guard -The home is always professionally cleaned before each check-in, so we were surprised by your comment regarding the stove. We had no issues with the stove itself, but we're sorry if it did not exceed your expectations -The cleaning fee is only charged per stay and the cleaner will only clean the property once. We strive to be transparent at every stage of the booking process, so all rates and fees are broken down for travelers before they confirm their reservation -The cleaner is also our guest contact and was never informed of any cleanliness issues. We would have been more than happy to assist had you reached out We sure hope you do come back for another visit. There is definitely added value in choosing our cabin, especially happy you enjoyed the decks, swing, and creek.

Needs a little TLC

Beautiful area, nice and quiet. Cabin needs a little work. Oven was dirty, grease under the burners, and the burner protective dishes need to be replaced. Blinds on sliding doors were missing 12 slats. Left bed in loft needs to have the frame adjusted, bed kept falling through. Overall the cabin was very nice, we would consider staying there again.

Peace and quiet

Booked this for my parents wedding anniversary and it's exactly what they wanted. They loved the creek and the deck the most. This was in February and alot of the gift shops, welcome centers etc was all closed for the season. This was a disappointment about the area. The TV in cabin was tricky. My dad couldn't get it to work except for basic channels. Deff enjoyed the cabin and the scenery. I'm sure they will always treasure these memories

Not bad

Difficult to find in dark. Poor driveway. I did damage to front lip of my Porsche. All in all decent mountain cabin. Outdoor facilities need cleaning badly! Interiors were better, but a bit musty. Directions for WiFi connection are incorrect as well as the posted instructions on property. Property manager did not answer phone. Don’t expect more than a decent place to stay.

Chris, thank you for your review. This home is a typical mountain cabin with a gravel driveway and no one has had a problem in the years these homeowners have rented, however, we apologize for the issues you faced with your car. Additionally, our listing does give step by step instructions on how to locate the cabin, but we're sorry if you had problems with your GPS. The owners of this property have a caretaker for the grounds and a cleaning service for the inside. The caretaker, Liz, is always available to address any and all concerns that guests have before or during their stay. Had you reached out, she would have been more than happy to help you with any of your needs to ensure your stay was enjoyable as possible. Thank you again for your feedback. Best, the Evolve Team

A bit misleading

First, we did have a good time. However, we felt that the description was misleading. It said the house was on 25 acres, but failed to mention that there were houses on both sides, so no wondering around on all that acreage. We were also surprised to find that that the highway was so close. We could see the cars through the trees from the deck and it was quite noisy. The most disappointing thing was how hard it was to access the creek without going on another property. We had to climb over a pile of rocks. In addition, it is advertised that the property is 7 miles from downtown Tellico. We clocked it at 15 miles, which was about 20 minutes. We had specie plans for the weekend and had to modify, so we were disappointed.

Quaint & Quiet Cabin by a creek in the woods

We really needed some time away from having had a difficult year. We were looking to just get away from the world. This place was perfect for just the 2 of us! We loved the cabin!! Sitting on the swing and listening to the creek was just what we needed to relax. We felt like we had such nice privacy in the woods. We loved driving along out in the beautiful countryside! It was not far to see Bald River Falls!! We had a great lunch at Ironworks Grill! There were so many options to go do fun things close to the cabin but we didn’t have much time. We would love to come back some day and take a few more days off to sit and listen to the creek after we go enjoy some sight seeing! The cabin was well equipped and the bed was comfortable. We felt at home. The loft looks like a great place for some of our family to join us!

Great Escape!!!!!

What a perfect time of year to visit this area. We have family close by. The Cabin was clean, cozy and comfortable. Loved the view from our deck overlooking the creek. We picked up plenty of fall leaves to take home. We're from Florida so we don't see seasons. LOL We would recommend this Cabin to anyone staying in this beautiful area. And we would certainly stay there again.

Secluded and romantic. Great place for just two or a group.

The place was private, beautiful and a great location. The only hitch was, somebody forgot to tell the cleaning staff we were coming and the linens were in the tub, beds were unmade and not ready for us. Once they were notified, they quickly came to tidey up and we were pleased with the cabin. A large and well stocked kitchen was a welcome sight. Sitting by the small creek with some wine was wonderful. We recommend it highly.
