I got to take my kids to the historical sites, the falls, and the park. We aren't very needy so we didn't require any assistance but the host was very nice in her messages and the cabin was great; very clean, had all the comforta of home, and very comfortable beds. ##### Katherine L.

Very clean and well stocked cabin. Plenty of room for myself and two teens and the dog. Easy walk to village. Short drive to Main Street stores. Extremely close to Great Smoky Mountain National Park. We were there over Thanksgiving and the cabin warmed up quickly. Only negative is the road noise in the evenings. You can’t really hear it from the back deck. ##### Alison S.

Lovely cozy 3br/2ba. It was clean, well stocked and has a modern responsive climate control system. Within walking distance of several great restaurants, and of course the Great Smokey Mountains Nat Park. The Chrystal clear river in the backyard was nice and peaceful. The owner, Cheri, was very friendly and promptly responded to any questions I had. I’ve made several trips to Cherokee, but this was the first time staying at Bluebird Cabins, and it will be my go-to place from now on. ##### Joel K.

This property was exactly as described. Property manager was very helpful and prompt when replying to my questions. Location was perfect for us. Close to the national park, Cherokee Indian village and tubing access. Was right beside the oconoluftee river which was so peaceful. Our 10 and 12 year old granddaughters didn't want to leave! ##### barbara k.

As a party of four, we found the space to be absolutely perfect for our needs. The nephews were thrilled with their upstairs loft and private room—it felt like their own little adventure hideout. Meanwhile, the downstairs bedroom was spacious and comfortable, complete with a private bathroom that made our stay even more convenient.From the moment we walked in, the cabin felt like home. It was immaculately clean and had a cozy ambiance that made us instantly relax. The rustic charm, combined with modern amenities, struck the perfect balance for a comfortable stay. Whether we were winding down after a day of exploring or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings, the cabin provided the ideal escape from the daily hustle and bustle.One of the biggest highlights was the location. If you’re chasing waterfalls, you’re in luck! Several beautiful waterfalls are within a short 10- to 20-minute drive, making it a dream spot for nature lovers. Additionally, the cabin is within close proximity to Gatlinburg, which offers even more activities and attractions. The scenic drive between Cherokee and Gatlinburg is breathtaking, with stunning mountain views along the way. And if you’re lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of majestic elk at the visitor center—something we were fortunate enough to experience!This was my second time staying with BlueBirds, and I can confidently say it won’t be my las ##### Brandi W.
