Luxury Log Cabin on Edge of National Park with Over-The-Top Amenities & Reviews


Special Note: Community and wellness are important to us. A portion of our total bookings goes directly to the local food pantry to support families in need.

Three Little Birds is a luxurious, handcrafted log cabin perched on the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Cosby, TN. Our tranquil setting, proximity to the National Park, and over-the-top amenities makes this is a one-of-a-kind retreat for couples, families, and hikers. Within 2 minutes, you can be on a National Park trail or fishing for trout in Cosby Creek. Peacefully located on the quiet side of the Smokies - yet a short drive to major attractions - our cabin offers the best of both worlds.

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.

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!

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.

Perfect cabin

The cabin is perfect. Wonderfully furnished and has everything you need, from a fully equipped kitchen, to tasteful bedrooms, to the back deck and fire pit. It really feels like a home away from home. I highly recommend staying at the Three Little Birds cabin - you won’t be disappointed!

Amazing getaway

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.

About the host

Hosted by Patty and Chris

Host profile image
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.
