Log Cabin on Edge of National Park; Over the Top Amenities & Reviews

New for 2025: Community and wellness are important to us and there are so many people hurting right now. For that reason, we are throwing back our prices! And for every one-week booking, we are donating a portion to a local community charity impacted by Hurricane Helene. Doing good matters to us.
 
Three Little Birds is a luxurious, handcrafted log cabin 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 will be hiking a National Park trail or fishing for trout in Cosby Creek. There is so much to do in our area! Our cabin is peacefully located on the quiet side of the Smokies, and yet a close drive to area attractions.

As owners, we take great pride in managing our cabin to provide an extraordinary experience for our guests. We took it over the top! We pour our hearts into it! This is one of the reasons why we have amazing guest reviews and well over 75% of our guests return year after year. This is not a vacation rental business for us; this is our happy place that we share with you. With our knowledge and love of the National Park and surrounding areas, let us help you plan an unforgettable vacation!

Cabin Amenities:
- This is a true hand-hewed log cabin inside and out. Think cozy!
- Two fully covered porches allow you to rock on a rocker to the sights and sounds of nature - rain or shine.
- The main floor is open and made for entertaining. Enjoy the stacked stone wood-burning fireplace, watch a movie on the smart tv, or play from our huge selection of games and puzzles.
- Our cook's kitchen will impress. Everything needed to cook a simple or gourmet meal. Picnic baskets, blankets and coolers provided to enjoy a meal in nature.
- Outside you are treated to a large and well cared for hot tub on a screened and covered patio.
- Love to grill? Our covered grilling patio has a Weber Genesis gas grill that can be easily used rain, snow or sunshine. Or you may want to fire up the charcoal Weber Kettle or maybe try your hand at the smoker on the outdoor patio.
- The 2-car garage is fully accessible to our guests and it is filled with adventure - bicycles, river rafters, gold panning, fishing gear, bag toss, Yardzee, and tons of outdoor kids' toys.
- Ready for a good night sleep? The main floor bedroom has a comfy queen bed with a full bathroom across the hall. The master suite upstairs has a king bed with a dreamy master bath. Grab some bubbles and soak the day away in your private whirlpool tub.
- The sleeping loft has 2-twin beds set up in a trundle, a tv and foosball game for fun. Comfy for adults or children.
-There is also a small office with 2 desks to make 'working from the cabin' easy and also filled with tons of children's toys and baby equipment.
- A fully equipped laundry room is located on the first floor with plenty of space for folding or hanging.
-Everything that you need for a picnic in the beautiful National Park- coolers, picnic blankets, and plastic dishes are ready for on-the-go meals.
- In the backyard, you will find a large firepit and we supply an endless supply of seasoned firewood. Grab a camp chair from the garage and cook smores in the great outdoors.

We guarantee that you will not find such an array of amenities at any other cabin. This is why our guests come back year after year.

Beautiful, well stocked property

This cabin was exactly what was described. Very clean, and stocked with all kinds of items that made our stay more comfortable. We love the Cosby area, and the cabin was situated in a location that was easy to find and park at (no hanging off a mountain). The whole family was impressed! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful cabin in the Smokies. We especially loved the porches!

great location, good for a couple or family

We really enjoyed ourselves this week. The "cabin" is really a large log home with all the space a family would need. We used the first floor bedroom as it was more convenient for us but, there is a larger master upstairs and another bedroom upstairs. We stay at a VRBO 2 -3 times a year and this is the best stocked place we have stayed in. You are in the middle of the mountains but less than 30 minutes to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge.

Best Cabin EVER!!!

My husband and I, along with my dad and his wife, rented Three Little Birds Cabin for a week at the end of July! The cabin surpassed all of our expectations in every way!!! The cabin is set in a beautiful, country location amid towering trees, only minutes from one of the entrances to The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is also centrally located if you want to go into Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge, and only an hour away from the Biltmore Estate. The cabin is new and very, very clean, and really does have everything you need, including bikes, hot tub, rockers, porch swing, fire pit, grill, fully equipped kitchen, large laundry room, and too many more items to list! We recommend Carver's Orchard & Apple House Restaurant with attached farmer's market in Cosby. And the little candy store next door to the market sold wonderful homemade bread! Especially appreciated the great communication skills of Patty, both before and after our stay. Hope to return soon! Thanks, again!!!

Cozy spacious cabin with all the extras

Spring break March 2024 We had a fantastic, relaxing stay at the Three Birds Cabin! We loved reading the history of the cabin, stained glass windows, visitor’s journal book entries and the bear details of the cabin. This has been the most packet amenities/home items than any other Vrbo or house rental we have experienced. From the two porches, hot tub tv bar area, board games ,bbq items, fire wood, completely full kitchen with dishes, pots and pans, double ovens, seasonings, crockpots, coffee machines, towel warmers, etc. They even provide extra items that people tend to forget, like phone chargers. The beds were very comfortable. House was clean. Neighborhood was quiet. There are other cabin homes around you but very quiet. Owners very responsive. The property description is 100% correct. The WiFi signal was strong. The only thing we didn’t experience was fishing because it was more than a walk away, really needed to drive there. There’s bikes to ride. We cooked meals and bbq’d. Enjoyed making s’mores in fire pit, seeing the stars at night and watching woodpecker that visited the back trees each day. We picked up our groceries in nearby town, there’s a Walmart and further out Food City grocery chains. There are many Dollar General stores along the roads. We definitely recommend this property for families, family reunions and hope to come back to visit. Visiting Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge was a short ride 25-45 minutes.

You almost don’t need to pack

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!

Awesome cabin

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.

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.

Wonderful Stay

The best appointed home we have ever stayed in, everything you need, plus things you did not even know you needed. Convenient to Gatlinburg and NP, we love Cosby and often stay there when visiting. Road in back of property is a bit noisy, but nothing that would deter me from staying again. The hosts are wonderful and communicative. How’s was so clean and well taken care of. What a treasure.

Quiet piece of Heaven

7 of us stayed at this cabin from 7/19-7/27 and it was perfect. It was far enough away from the business of Gatlinburg but close to many fun adventures. It was super quiet, I wouldn’t necessarily call it a neighborhood as there were only a few houses but it was quiet and surrounded by beauty! The cabin has absolutely everything you need. The 2nd day there our car battery died and it pretty much took all day to get it fixed. The kids all kept themselves busy with games and the hot tub and were not disappointed we couldn’t head out for the day. Great place for families and lots to do! Thank you for sharing your place with us!

Perfect for a family

We were very pleased with the accommodations at Three Little Birds. They thought of every detail. The cabin was very comfortable and we had all of the supplies we needed! One day we drove into Gatlinburg and over to Cades Cove and Clingman’s Dome. Aside from that we did hikes and activities close to Cosby. We will definitely stay again if we come back to the Smoky Mountains.
