Hi, we're Michele & Alissa. We fell in love with Tellico Village, moved here, and now share our lakeside home with visitors through Our Lakeside Happy Place. So many of our guests are quietly scouting their retirement that we wrote the guide we wish we'd had. Subscribers also get a monthly note with local news, things to do, and first notice of open dates at the lake house.
