I enjoyed the game room and played at the pool table, and at night there were lots of stars visible. I tried out the whirlpool in the room, and it was very nice. The lodge was so peaceful and away from crowds.

This is a great property! Our suite was exactly as pictured and described, and very comfortable. There were rocking chairs on our 2nd story porch that overlooked a coy pond and babbling water feature. We rode motorcycles and were able to keep them in their bike garage which had towels and other amenities to take care of our iron horses. With a jacuzzi tub and comfortable suite we didn’t even need to check out the game room for billiards and other activities.
And the area of Tellico was a nice surprise. There is water all around the mountains, it’s right off the Cherohala Skyway and we used it to make an enjoyable morning loop to ride the Tail of the Dragon. Ken and Viki are friendly owners and take great care of their guests. Highly recommend and we’ll be back!

When we arrived early, Ken gave us a tour of the property and a little history of his property. The property was well maintained and even told us about his favorite restaurants. Will definitely stay at the Lodge again!

What an amazing place! The owners Ken and Vicki were both very nice and helpful as we talked to both for some time. Words really can’t do it justice as we loved the quaintness of this lodge, from the outdoor bbq/gathering area, to the motorcycle parking garage, to the game room… to the beautiful room we stayed in… it was a really nice place. My husband and I will be back next year, already have it booked!

Stayed here during a motorcycle trip through the Smoky Mountains. Staff was wonderful and gave us advice on places to see, restaurants, etc. The motorcycle garage was amazing with great lighting and security. The grounds were beautifully landscaped and well maintained with plenty of relaxing outdoor areas to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. Definitely coming back.
