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.

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!

Viki and her husband did a fabulous job communicating with us from pre-check-in to post-check-out. Any questions I had, Viki was quick to respond.
There was a water pipe break and they were immediately on it. We were unable to shower in the morning, but that was only a minor inconvenience for us.
We enjoyed the beautiful property and room. Since Viki and her husband recently took over ownership, they have plans to add a few more creature comforts to this already highly comfortable place.
One of the interesting things we found about this property.... they cater to motorcycle riders. There is a special garage and cleaning area for motorcycles, plus, a large area to turn around for trailers. How cool is that?!?!
We would totally stay again if we went back to Tellico Plains. We were spoiled!
T-Mobile users will need to plan more as internet service in Tellico Plains is practically non-existent. Grab some maps and hit Viki up for info. She gave us great suggestions for meals.
