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

New for 2025: Community and wellness is 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.

And when you can tear yourself away from the cabin, there is a TON to do in the area.

Wonderful stay at 3 Little Birds! The beds were super comfy, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the cozy living room with a wood-burning fireplace was perfect for relaxing. We loved having our morning coffee on the front and back porches. Highly recommend for a peaceful getaway! Thank you Patty for sharing your lovely cabin with us. 🍂

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.

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.

It was great to be able to stay at this beautiful cabin. We actually couldn't enjoy it as much as we wanted because we were so busy exploring the area. Our favorite thing was the hot tub and the surroundings!

It was the most delightful vacation with my grandchildren, cannot say enough good things about house. It is a little drive to attractions but scenery is gorgeous. We wanted to stay longer. The house was so very beautiful with modern updates but yet country living.

This was our first family trip to the mountains. My fiancé, son, his friend, and I had plenty of room. The cabin was very well stocked, and very clean. The host was responsive and helpful. Anything you could think of that you may need on your stay has already been thought of! We are definitely coming back next year.

Once again we enjoyed our home away from home at Three Little Birds. From the moment we walked through the front door, we felt so blessed to be back in the smokies again! Located in the perfect proximity to everything, hiking,shopping, nice restaurants, & even a day trip to the Biltmore. We will be back! John & Carol Gration

Amazing Cabin!
We loved our stay at Three Little Birds. It was so convenient to the park and Cosby Campground, where some of our family camped. The cabin had everything you could need for a vacation and more! It was very clean and comfortable. We didn't want to leave! Thanks to the owners for all of the little touches and extras!
