Bluebird Cabins are located in Cherokee, NC directly across the river from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the most visited National Park in America! Come spend time with the Cherokee people and enjoy some quality time in one of the oldest occupied places on Earth. Western North Carolina offers beautiful scenery with its majestic mountains, crystal clear streams and rivers, waterfalls, hiking trails, wildlife (elk, bear, deer, etc.), ecotourism and more.

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.

Easy to find and perfect location! Bluebird Cabins are 0.2 miles from the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and about 0.8 miles from the entrance of the Blue Ridge Parkway. We are in a short walking distance to shopping, restaurants, a brewery and more! We're 1.5 miles from the Outdoor Drama, Cherokee Museum and the Oconaluftee Indian Village, only 3 miles from Harrah's Cherokee Casino and only 5 miles from the world class Sequoyah National Golf Course. Approximately 15 minute drive to the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad and downtown Bryson City, where even more shopping, food, and adventure await.

Bluebird Cabins is owned and operated by Chris & Cheri McCoy. As a member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, Chris was born and raised in these mountains on the Cherokee Indian Reservation. Chris grew up swimming and fishing in these rivers and hiking these trails. We have a passion for sharing the local culture, nature and relaxing atmosphere! We purchased these cabins (formerly known as Ol' Smoky Log Cabins) from the original owners with a goal of bringing modern comfort and amenities while keeping some of the rustic charm. No improvements were needed on the location and views!
