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.

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 stayed 2 nights at this "Fabulous Shack". The place was exceptionally clean, comfortable and quiet. Communications with the Host David were friendly, timely and complete. The place is really unique but very functional. Would recommend this place for staying in Tellico Plains.

Quite, quaint, and cozy cabin

Quite location with a plenty of access to the Dragon. There is plenty of parking, but there is a small slope (but had no problems on the bikes). Perfect for a small family with a loft area for the kids (two beds in the loft). David maintained great communication, and was a nice gentleman. All in all we would definitely stay again.

This was an amazing stay

The Shack was everything the host listed and more! The host was very accommodating and helped me settle in, I’ve never stayed anywhere that I felt as comfortable! Easy access to Tellico Plains and the surrounding area. If you want a cabin getaway this is a must! I have nothing but positive praise! 5 stars doesn’t even begin to rate my stay! 100%!

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!

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!!

A Ten in Tellico

The 'Shack' has it all! Every single detail was creative and well thought out. The ambiance is amazing! The space plan is genius, 3 levels - the bedroom with a fireplace on the first floor, the living room, dining room, and kitchen on the 2nd, and the loft created the 3rd level where kids or other party members can have their own space. The location is perfect as a gateway to Tellico and the surrounding areas. We felt so blessed to have found this treasure and will definitely be back. David was so friendly and informative. Thank you for a wonderful time!

Wonderful, most sweetest, owners. My 3 boys and I had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful property. We were pleasantly surprised to see a zip line and swings after a long 8+ hour drive. The couple greeted us with the most heart warming smiles and made us feel welcomed right away. We look forward to going back.
