About this property

Cabin #6 - Riverfront w/ Gas Fireplace & more!

Cabin #6 is one of the top picks for those looking to see fish or elk from the large deck overlooking the river! This unit has 3 beds and can sleep up to 6 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 cabin 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 king bedroom and ensuite bathroom with a tub/shower. Upstairs, there are 2 separate bedrooms; an open queen bedroom and a full bedroom with a door. These rooms feature ceiling fans and utilize a shared bathroom with a tub/shower 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.

Great clean little cabin on the creek. Very pleasant sitting on the back porch in the mornings. Only drawback is that it is on a busy road and a little noisy at times.

Perfect cabin for our getaway weekend!

We came to Cherokee as an "Adult Getaway" for a weekend. I must say this cabin is so adorable. It is walking distance to shops and restaurants. I loved how cozy the cabin feels. I will be staying here again soon.

Cozy cabin in Cherokee

We had a wonderful stay at cabin 6. Very cozy and appealing. The cabin was well equipped and very clean. It looks just like the pictures. The location was excellent and we enjoyed the view from the deck. We wholeheartedly recommend it.

Cherokee Trip

The house was quaint, which was fine. The biggest issue was the traffic, and with the house being on a slight curve with a blind spot too, backing out onto the road was a little scary

Guy’s fishing trip

We have been coming to these cabins for several years.They are perfect for an extended fishing trip.We have 9 fishermen in 3 cabins and the deck space is awesome for hanging out by the river.We cook all our meals at the cabin and clean our catch right outside before we have a fish fry.Owners are very accommodating.We will be back again next year.

Short stay

This was a cute little cabin by the river. We chose it because of the proximity to Bryson City because we were going to the Polar Express. We ended up cutting our stay short because of a sick child. The owner was so friendly and accommodating. The cabin was cute and clean. Had the weather been warmer, I would have loved to sit on the porch overlooking the creek.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
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!

Why they chose this property

This property has the best of all worlds! Relaxing views of the flowing river with daily wildlife sightings, while being walking distance to hiking trails, biking trails, disc golf, restaurants, a brewery, shopping and more! You get the feel of seclusion with a convenient proximity to modern amenities. Just a short drive to nearby Sequoyah National Golf Course, historic downtown Bryson City, the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, or even hop over the mountain to spend a day in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
