Loss Creek Cove is an amazing private getaway surrounded by the Cherokee National Forest.

Located in Polk County in southeast Tennessee, Loss Creek Cove offers 164 acres of seclusion for hunting, hiking, shooting, four-wheeling, orchard farming, relaxing, star gazing, entertaining, or any combination. Loss Creek Cove exudes the serenity, solitude, and history of the Cherokee National Forest surrounding it, all on private land.

The waters of Loss Creek meander through the cove, across the property, and in and out of the adjacent National Forest land on their way to the Hiwassee River another 400 feet below the property and about 2 miles downstream, where Loss Creek passes under a footbridge for the Benton McKaye Trail. Two peaks at 1,400 feet and a third at nearly 1,500 feet offer views of the surrounding mountain peaks, rippling like waves into Georgia and North Carolina. At every turn there is a quiet corner calling for you to sit and relax and enjoy the beauty the property has to offer in all seasons.

From the deck of the main house, atop the northeastern peak with a nearly unobstructed 360-degree panoramic view, you can see ridges that would take over an hour to drive to. With the lights of the cabin off at night and no other artificial light for miles, the brilliance of the clear night’s sky is breathtaking. The main house (a 2,110 square foot cabin that was featured in Log Home Design Ideas magazine in 2002) was constructed in a labor of love with great attention to detail and devotion to quality. The house features a large two story great room with expansive windows and a wood burning stove (as a supplement or alternative to the central HVAC). An efficient kitchen and laundry room provide all the amenities necessary for comfort in the backcountry. The master bedroom suite is on the main floor. Two guest bedrooms and a large bunkroom, connected by a shared bathroom, are located upstairs. A large deck offers plenty of room to enjoy the unobstructed views. A screened porch provides additional seating in all seasons.

Double-track trails connect the peaks to the two meadows, one of which contains an orchard, a barn, a streamside picnic pavilion, and a caretaker's cabin, which provides additional room for guests or serves as a comfortable place to rest and picnic. The large barn provides ample floor and loft storage for all necessary agricultural tools and recreational toys. Loss Creek Cove is home to deer, turkey, wild boar, bobcat, coyote, fox, bear, and more.

This amazing property has had only 5 owners since coming under the jurisdiction of the State of Tennessee in 1833 as a part of the last land added to the state, the Ocoee Survey District.
