What a wonderful place.
We stayed for a week and loved it! The hosts are welcoming, kind and thoughtful people who obviously create an atmosphere of welcome, comfort and “home”. We felt relaxed & laid back throughout our visit. Such a cute, clean and comfortable home base for exploring the area. Next time we plan to spend our visit on the porch and in the lake!

Weekend stay
Stayed 2 nights. Hosts were amazing, had special anniversary gift waiting when we arrived. (Hosts live next door) All provisions for outdoor firepit provided. Did not have time to kayak, but rentals were available. 3 miles from Fort Loudoun and Sequoyah Museum. Chose this property due to proximity to Cherohala skyway and Joyce Kilmer forest. Very relaxing property tucked away away in a lake cove. EveythinSkyway

I don't think I can say enough about this place. Everything was so well thought out. All aspects of they stay were taken into consideration. I met the owners and they are the nicest people. I totally recommend this place to anyone wanting to get away and unwind. I was not able to be there as much as I would have liked due to business but I have shared this with my wife and we have decided to make this a frequent destination. Love it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Loved our stay at this cozy cottage!
We stayed in this cozy cottage for 3 weeks. The owners were welcoming, attentive and caring. On a daily basis, they checked in on us to see if there was anything we needed. This was true Southern Hospitality. We appreciated the welcome basket and enjoyed getting to know the owners. We would love to come back! Clean and well-cared for home.

Amazing!!!
Lavette and Joe are such wonderful people. Down to earth and so much fun to hang out with. We learned alot about the area that we plan on retiring to. They had an immaculate cottage that had everything you could possibly need. The property is a little slice of heaven with beautiful sunsets. Mornings were so amazing having coffee on the deck and just watching birds and squirrels before our day started. Can’t forget their two beautiful Aussie dogs. Highly recommend staying here. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Could Not Have Been Better
The house was perfectly set up for us, with a beautiful view of Tellico Lake to awaken to each morning. The house contained everything we needed for our stay. Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating (nearly every time we saw them, we were asked if there was anything we needed). We are already planning our next stay.

Beautiful get-away
This property was delightful. Cottage was cozy and spotlessly clean. Our hosts provided us with several care baskets of goodies, a lovely surprise. We were out and about busy each day, but spent each morning and evening on the swing overlooking the lake - so peaceful. Lavette and Joe were wonderful hosts, we even spent a few hours getting to know them over beer one afternoon. We will certainly return and look forward to visiting with our new friends again!

Piece of paradise
Lavette and Joe’s Driftwood Cottage is amazing. We would give it a 10 star if we could. Their cabin is cozy. clean and inviting. It has every amenity you could want. The property and lake are spectacular. Lavette and Joe couldn’t have been any friendlier or more accommodating. We have friends for life and will be coming back for years to come.

We loved everything about Lavette and Joe’s Driftwood Cottage. We checked in early as we had a wedding that pm. The cottage is immaculate, super organized and felt like home. The setting on the lake, watching the birds was so very peaceful. Lavette & Joe were so nice and helpful with suggestions and advice. We had fun with their dogs, Teeter and Huck. They even had snacks in place for us, We enjoyed the kayaks but the weather through a monkey wrench in our plans. Our only regret was that we couldn’t stay longer. We will be back!!! Deb & Phil

I wanted a week away from cities and got a week in a quiet cove to fish and relax. Excellent home with all basic amenities. The host and her husband greeted me when I arrived, and we had many conversations over the next week. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for some quiet.

Comfortable and peaceful
The Driftwood Cottage is comfortable and fully furnished. We were there for 2 weeks and had everything we needed to live, cook, etc. the lake and surrounding property is so lovely. Birds and other wildlife are delightful to watch. Lavette and Joe Pike are gracious hosts. We were made to feel welcome from the minute we pulled into the covered carport. They’ve thought of everything.
