Nestled directly on the bank of the picturesque Tellico River, the Gray House offers an unbeatable combination of peaceful riverfront living and tremendous income potential as a proven vacation rental. This spacious 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath cabin (approximately 2,000 sq ft, sleeps 10) features a main-level master suite with a luxurious en-suite bath including a walk-in shower and jetted tub, plus private deck access. Upstairs you'll find three additional bedrooms and another full bath, providing plenty of room for family gatherings or guests. A well-equipped game room with a pool table adds year-round entertainment, while multiple decks invite you to unwind with soothing river sounds and mountain views.
Convenience meets adventure with a 2-car carport/garage and off-street parking--ideal for storing boats, kayaks, or guest vehicles. Guests (and future owners) enjoy direct river access for fishing right from the property or launching for relaxing floats down the Tellico River, a favorite for tubing, kayaking, and angling in East Tennessee.
