  • A wonderful stay!

    The Bird’s Nest cabin was just the right spot for our Smoky Mountain vacation! We were looking for something in a less touristy area and this was perfect. It was close to the Oconaluftee Visitor Center and to Deep Creek hiking trails. The cabin provided a wonderful space to rest and relax in after our full days of hiking. The bed was really comfortable and the kitchen was equipped with all the basics we needed. We would definitely stay again. :- Katie

  • MN visitors
