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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Perfect family getaway
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.

Family Thanksgiving
We had a great stay at the cabin for Thanksgiving! We go someplace new every year and this year we picked Tennessee. The hot tub was amazing, they had tons of games and activities for the kids. The owners were very responsive when we communicated. The only advice is the downstairs bedroom bed needs a few updates. We ended going into town and purchasing all new pillows. Other than that we had a great time! We would go back to this cabin in the future

House was great!
We loved our time at Three Little Birds. The abundance of leaves in the driveway, on the road and leading to the wood shed was treacherous for senior ladies. We did appreciate your getting the driveway blown off after we messaged. Confusion over twin beds was an issue. It was not clear to us that one was a trundle. One of our ladies ended up on the couch. None of this would prevent our staying again. Three Little Birds is a lovely place.

A Little Piece of Fall Heaven
We are from Florida and we wanted to find a magical place to stay to enjoy the fall colors. This cabin checked all the boxes and then some! From the gorgeous interior to the fire pit and hot tub, it is now a memory we will never forget. We came overly prepared with essentials from home and found that we wasted our valuable space in our luggage since every need was meant and then some! I highly recommend this listing for your vacation home!

Felt right at home
Such a wonderful getaway home for our family. Our twin 6 yr old girls were thrilled to see all of the toys and games available to play. We had less than favorable weather, but enjoyed our stay because there was so much to do at this cozy home. The extras made it so easy for this mama to relax. The property was beautiful inside and out, but in a way that also felt comfortable. We plan to stay here again and will likely book for a longer stay. We enjoyed the hot tub, the beds were comfy, the kitchen was well equipped, the grill worked well, and we enjoyed the fire-pit. My husband appreciated the dry wood supply snd fire starting kit. So many great things to share!

Incredible cabin
What an amazing trip it was. The cabin was absolutely incredible, down to the very last detail. From the well documented history behind the origins of the cabin to the well throughout amenities that adorn each room throughout this beautiful custom cabin. You won’t need much here, just yourselves and a good time. From zip lining at CLIMBWorks, to the summit of Mt. Leconte, to the bear and bear cubs we saw on Cades Cove loop during bicycle day (Wednesday). Then it was off to do some white water rafting followed by some swimming in Midnight Hole. And to top off the week we did a little trout fishing and a moonshine tasting. Everyone has a blast. With all the amenities of a home at the cabin, we felt much like we were at our own home. And that really allowed us to enjoy many home cooked meals together, playing games, foosball competitions. The fire pit was a hit to close out the evenings and the hot tub definitely hit the spot in the cooler hours of the morning after a hiking the day prior.

Lovely cabin, great porches front and back
This was a great place to stay, close to white water rafting trip we had planned. You really only need to bring your food, and drinks you want. It is not as secluded as I would of liked but none the less a beautiful cabin, Master bed was so comfortable whirlpool tub in that bathroom was relaxing after a day of hiking up henhollow waterfall trail. We could'nt get the tv by the hot tub to work , and some of the jets in the hot tub worked some did'nt. We did'nt spend a lot of time in there. We cooked outside every day, coffee in the morning by the fire pit or on the swing on the porch. The hammock out back is divine and so peaceful in the evening. It has all the things for kids to stay busy, games books movies, bikes hiking sticks, hula hoops. The ice maker was slow to make ice we did end up buying some which is not an big deal. Over all I would definatley go back to three little birds cabin, The decor is super cute was easy to navigate too, and the owners are super responsive. You won't regret this great little place in the woods, On a side note the person who slept in the loft area the bottom bunker is not comfortable for any adult would probablly be ok for kids not adults. But since we were only there for 3 days we switched up and Sat two of our people left so opened up the bed down stairs. The pictures don't lie this is a great cabin..
