Cabin #3 - Riverfront w/ Gas Fireplace and more!
Cabin #3 is a cozy cabin with queen bed downstairs, and 2 twin beds with a playroom upstairs! Sit out on the deck and watch the fish and elk walk by! This unit has 3 beds and can sleep up to 4 comfortably. New gas log fireplace and HVAC system along with wifi and YoutubeTV to keep you and your party entertained.
* Up to 2 pets are welcome at this unit for a fee of $35.
Each of our log cabins has a full front porch just a few feet away from the Oconaluftee River, which offers some of the best trout fishing around. This river is stocked with brown and rainbow trout. Fly fishermen can enjoy the “catch and release” waters with trophy sized fish just minutes away. The cabins line the Oconaluftee River with a view across the river that is forest land with no development. The cabins are separated by full deck areas with privacy fencing in between. This cabin features a large deck with chairs and a swing and great view of the slow moving river. You can see the fish below in these clear waters, and reach it with careful climb down! A small charcoal grill is located in front of the cabin. This river also provides a great place for rafting, tubing, and swimming. This cabin features an open living/kitchen/dining space downstairs along with a primary queen bedroom and ensuite bathroom with a tub/shower. The upstairs has a split/open floorplan with 2 twin beds on one side and a children's play area with games, television, foosball table and more on the other side. These rooms have a ceiling fan and utilize a half-bathroom between them.
We have 6 total hand-built log cabins that are each stocked with kitchen supplies, new couches and bedding, and basic shower/restroom goods. High-speed internet and streaming televisions in the living room as well as main bedroom make sure you don't miss a beat. New HVAC systems and gas fireplace create comfort for all, with automatic settings so you don't have to worry about how to set up. The back of the cabins are just off of Big Cove Road, which has low to moderate traffic and sidewalks into town, food and shopping. We believe you'll find the setting peaceful and enjoyable.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a coffee maker, and a dining table. Limited housekeeping is available.

We had a really great time at the cabin! It was well represented and accurate from the photos. It was close to shopping and restaurants (we really liked the Rice Wagon and Wize Guyz Pizza.) Our children loved the loft area and how it was a special hang out area just for them. There’s a gas fireplace which was extremely cozy and the kitchen had what we needed to make a few simple meals. The river and fishing were great and we stopped along several areas to get out and look around. My husband got a permit and caught lots of trout. Host was responsive and we’d love to stay again in the warmer months!

Wonderful location right on the river. Small, quaint. Perfect for just a few people. The 1 1/2 bath is difficult with any more than that. Also to note the stairs are unsafe due to width of step and steepness. If an extra extra firm mattress is preferred the downstairs bed is that.

Enjoyed our stay!
We come to Cherokee NC every year for the Tie One On fishing tournament sponsored by Casting Carolinas, a non profit organization that helps women thrive after a cancer diagnosis. The tournament headquarters is at Rivers Edge Outfitters, which was walking distance from our cabin. The convenience was great, the cabin itself was so cozy and adorable. We loved the back porch with the Oconaluftee River running right behind us. We spent our evenings sitting outside, enjoying a glass of wine , the peacefulness of the river and a beautiful night sky. The check in instructions were very understandable and accurate. We had zero issues with anything in the cabin. We will be back in Cherokee in October and hope to be able to book again with Bluebird.

Amazing Stay
The cabin was easy to find, and we checked in without an issue. It's very simple, clean, cozy, and convenient with all the essentials provided —exactly what we were looking for. I was traveling with a kid, and he lost one of his toys, so to help him find it my husband and I had to look under the furniture - exceptionally clean even there.The river running under the windows, the mountains, and the nearby park with a bamboo grove - are very good for nature lovers, while local restaurants and the casino are perfect for those who want some fun. I loved that there were six cabins rented out by the same owner standing side by side. They are not very big and sleep three or four people, but if you want to come with a larger group, renting two cabins and spending time together on the large back porch while still having some privacy at night is easy.All three of us enjoyed our stay. It wasn't easy to drag our kid out when the check-out time came - he wanted to stay longer. I would love to come again for a peaceful weekend with my family or for an adventurous one with some friends.

Cute Cabin in a Perfect Location
Our only disappointment was not being able to stay longer! The cabin is exactly how it’s described in the listing. The location is approximately 5 minutes drive to the casino. It’s within walking distance of shops, food and an outfitter. Smokey Mt visitors center is less than a 4 min drive (great place to see elk in the evening). There are many trails to hike in and around the cabin. Approximately 5 min walk to a “beach” area on the river - perfect place to take kids and doggies. There is a rope swing that allows kids and adults to swinging out and safely drop in the cold river waters. I can’t say enough good things about the cabin and location.

Weekend getaway
My family and I came for a weekend getaway. Upon arrival the cabin was clean and cozy. My two kids loved the loft area I hardly saw them while we were in the cabin. The back deck was very spacious and enjoyed the swing while enjoying the river view. The check in and out process was very convenient and they even moved checkout time back a few hours due to loss of power in the area. We will be returning for future trips.
