We were pleased with our lodging at Birds Nest. We couldn't get enough of the deck with the fabulous view. The house was very comfortable and suited our needs just fine. This was a wonderful place to stay and explore the western NC region.

Cozy birdsnest

If you’re looking for a peaceful escape, a cabin getaway is a perfect choice. Cozy, quiet, and surrounded by nature, it’s a great way to unplug and recharge. Whether you’re enjoying a crackling fire, hiking nearby trails, or just sipping coffee with a view, the experience is all about relaxation. Perfect for a solo retreat, romantic weekend, or group adventure. Highly recommend for anyone needing a break from the daily grind!

One minor issue was taken care of very quickly and it was easy to get in touch with management. Pull out bed was not the best, my kids just slept in the couch instead. Appreciated that it was stocked with toilet paper.

Private and beautiful

It was so wonderful and relaxing! Views are amazing and better than the pictures. The place was a lot bigger than expected and the privacy was exactly what we were looking for. Bonus: there’s beautiful rock wall on the side of the house that had water trickling down it while we were there. Great surprise.

Place is perfect

The place is awesome and is away from the heavy traffic but not far from everything. We slept comfortably and the cabin is amazing, I would like to buy it actually ha. The view is fantastic as well from the porch. My kids loved it and enjoyed being that close to the public access to the lake. Rather than drive into the tourist cities that are close to the cabin including a nice scenic drive to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge they said they had the best time at the lake. All around a good time and great place.

Birds Nest

The property was very clean and had a beautiful long range view. The house was well maintained and all the amenities were working . The deck had a hot tub, gas bbq, chairs, table and a fire box. We enjoyed the solitude and quietness of the house. The rental company was great to work with and we will definitely rent from them again in the future.
