"The property manager communicated with us before our arrival to ensure we understood the check-in process. Upon arrival, the charming inn sat in the heart of Tellico Plains surrounded by the lush Cherokee National Forest. It was just as I imagined, but better! The inn was quaint with its wrap around porch and historic decor . It was clean and wrapped you in a tight hug! I slept better here than I do at home! My husband and I cannot wait to visit again. "
