Anglers Hideaway at Hiwassee River

We spent a week at the Angler's Hideaway. 6 adults and 5 kids (ages 2 - 10). Plenty of room for everyone. The pictures on the VRBO website don't really do it justice. This place is so peaceful! The sound of the running creek, the foliage, the railroad tracks and the river is all within walking distance. If you are looking for the typical "Big City" TN experience, than this may not be for you. This place is for people who want to fish, spend time catching up with loved ones and enjoy the outdoors. We had really crappy weather while we were there (cold temps, rain and snow) but that didn't slow us down. Kids stayed entertained the entire time. And when it got too wet outside for them to play, we sent them up to the loft to play games and build tents. Even better is the level of care taken by the owners. Our oven quit working at 5 pm on Friday night. Within 20 minutes someone showed up to repair it. Unfortunately it couldn't be repaired so he left. Although we were bummed about not having an oven...we figured given the time (it was now 6:30 pm on a Friday night) and the location of the cabin to any major town we assumed they would just would maybe prorate the rent (or something). Were we ever surprised when the guy came back 2 hours later with a brand new oven! He drove all the way to Lowes in Athens where the owners had already purchased a new oven and had it waiting on him. We actually chatted up the maintenance guy about the area and enjoyed talking with him. I I can't say enough about this place. But I do want to be clear that it's rustic (not to be confused with primitive) all you need for an outdoor adventure and all the creature comforts on the inside. But there is no over the top decorations, hot tubs and gourmet kitchens you find in so many of the TN rentals. This place is for the adventurous types who like to get outside and have fun. Take to heart that there is no internet (which for me was difficult but for my husband it made the place that much better!) And there is no cell service. When the oven broke we had to drive off the mountain to make the call. Do yourself a favor a pick up a calling card at Dollar General (located about 10 miles away) just in case. We are looking forward to booking it again in the summer so we can enjoy the rafting provided by the Hiwassee Outfitters (which is 2 minute walk) and get a better shot at the fishing. Loved this place and would rent it again in a heartbeat.
