This place was awesome! The house was clean and had so many amenities to take advantage of. It felt like home from the first day to the last! The property owners were incredibly helpful the whole stay. I would highly recommend!
Amazing! Everything you could think of provided. Quiet, clean and amazing location! Three little birds is a gem, you will not be disappointed! We can’t wait to book with them again.
The cabin was amazing - well stocked and had everything we needed. We loved the outdoor deck and hot tub. The grill was an added bonus as well! Thanks for letting us use your cabin!
This cabin was beautiful and in a great area! The inside was clean and the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. The kitchen was well stocked with the utensils and pans that we needed for our stay.

Thank you. We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay!
Our family has traveled a good bit over the years and this cabin was far and away the best. We loved everything from the well-equipped kitchen to the entertainment to the beds at night. The family agreed that we will try to find a reason to come back since we were there for a wedding.

Thank you so much for your note! We pour our heart into ensuring that 3 Little Birds is really special for our guests. We are glad that you noticed.
I would give the cabin a ten star if I could! It was beautiful, very clean, extremely well stocked.(better than my own kitchen!) So many extras that you never see. Even a craft room to occupy your time! The communication was great, also!

We are so happy that we exceeded your expectations. That is always our goal!
The host was wonderful and communicated quickly and provided great recommendations. The cabin was very nice and cozy having everything you would need and then some with the most relaxing porches. Close to entrance to National Park. If you plan to spend most of your time in tourist areas, you need to allow extra driving time to and from. Quiet neighborhood but you can hear a busy roadway.
Best cabin we’ve stayed at. Everything was well stocked, clean, great pans etc. Hopefully can come back next year. Easy access to park and other towns.
The cabin was awesome. Very clean and stocked with so many amenities, supplies, games etc. the only negative is that the chemicala in the hot tub were messed up so when people got in it smelled and made them cough. The hosts apologized and issued a credit.
This property is beautiful and just as described! All of the little things (like tons of board games and marshmallow roasting sticks) really made our stay amazing! There was plenty of room for our family of 6. We loved this property and will definitely stay again if we are back in the area!

Thank you! We are happy that you enjoyed your vacation!
This cabin is great is you’re looking for a place to get away. It feels very secluded beneath the tree canopy. There were loads of activities for my kids - 9, 7, & 5 - available to use in the house. When you need to get out it’s just a few minutes to the national park for stellar hiking. Hands down the most well-stocked house we have rented. Exceptional hosts!
The house was outstanding! There wasn't a single item that we needed that wasn't provided!!!Everything was clean, easy to use, and functional. Thank you for the opportunity to stay in your home and hoping to return again!!!
My husband and I have celebrated two of our anniversaries at the 3 Little Birds cabin. Patty and Chris have thoughtfully provided everything needed for a comfortable stay — all you need to bring are your clothes and food. We look forward to returning in the future
This cabin was definitely as nice as described. The owners provided everything we needed for outdoor activities, cooking meals at the cabin, cleaning, and relaxing. We loved the pre-chopped firewood under cover right by the fire pit. My youngest daughter loved all the toys in the upstairs office/playroom and in the garage. Thr beds were very comfortable. I enjoyed the porch swing and rocking chairs.I only gave 4 stars for location, due to the fact that we did have to drive a bit to get into the national park, due to the nearby cosby entrance being closed for maintenance (not any fault of the cabin owners, of course!) But the small neighborhood inself was very nice, safe, and quiet.Would definitely recommend this cabin. We loved every minute.
We went down for Thanksgiving for our family vacation, minus a few major setbacks while we were there, it was amazing. Between the hot tub to relax or sitting on the swing on the front porch and reading, listening to the animals, it was amazing. I can’t wait to go back. That was one vacation I will always remember.

Despite unexpected trouble with the hot tub, I'm so happy that you had a good time. We glad that we got it fixed while you were there and so sorry for the interruption. We hope that you can come back to enjoy it again.
About the host
Hosted by Patty and Chris
We love the Smoky Mountains and have so many amazing memories here. We set down roots in June 2012 when we found 3 Little Birds in abandoned distress and needing some love. We pulled together a plan, rehabbed the property top to bottom, and decided to share our knowledge and love of the National Park with guests. It has filled our hearts with joy to hear from families and friends that they have loved the cabin as much as we do. This isn't a cabin rental business for us; this has been an opportunity to give back to the community that we love and to have some fun sharing our knowledge of the area with our guests.
Why they chose this property
From the moment that we saw the cabin, we fell in love. The tranquility of the property and its convenience to the National Park won us over. The cabin was handcrafted and built with lasting quality. The neighborhood is quaint and provides a peaceful way to enjoy nature.
What makes this property unique
The cabin is beautifully handcrafted. It was build to last forever in this peaceful setting. The rooms are spacious with high-end finishes and the community is beautiful. We had fun reimagining it to be what it is today, and we continue to add special touches to ensure it remains accommodating and comfortable. The 2 fully-covered porches are our favorite feature of the cabin - a place to sit and do nothing.
