East Tennessee Home ~ 23 Mi to Chattanooga!

Cleveland

"We had a wonderful stay! Updated cottage is just like the pictures. The beds were comfortable, all the linens used were soft and felt like home. Large hot water tank where you can run both showers at the same time was fantastic for the five of us staying there. Leather couches were a nice touch of comfort. Very clean and communication with the owner was wonderful. We even played the board games, instead of watching TV. Everyone love it! You will enjoy your stay! "

Cozy Tellico Plains Cabin w/ Large Mountain Creek!

Tellico Plains

"Positives: There was a supply of everything we needed from soaps to rags and towels to dishes. The kitchen and bathroom were clean; the water is excellent, and the freezer dispenses both water and ice. There were live plants and a birdfeeder on the deck, and the grounds were well kept and mostly free of poison ivy. The spacious wraparound deck was in excellent condition with a hanging swing, a picnic table, and a table with chairs. Cons: The cabin is a lot smaller than it looks in the promo...

Top Athens - Sweetwater Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn Athens

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was great. Staff is friendly. Always feel safe here."

Hampton Inn Athens

10/10 Excellent

"This location was very clean and inviting. These were the most comfortable beds we have had out of several hotel stays over the past few weeks. I didn't use the shampoo, conditioner, however the shower wash, handwash, and lotion were great. Left our skin very soft. Breakfast was very nice. Plenty of options, from homestyle biscuits and gravy, eggs and sausage, to healthier options like oatmeal with toppings to fresh fruit and yogurt. The best thing though was having a pet friendly hotel, that actually offers all of these options. Our furbabies felt very relaxed in the rooms, and bonus was to see everyone else's babies."
