Reviewer Comments:
We enjoyed our stay. The cabin was great, very clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the hot tub in the evening. 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.

Home was perfect for our getaway. Away from everything for relaxation but close enough to all the area attractions. Viewing beautiful mountains from the hot tub was both peaceful and relaxing. Home was immaculate and had plenty of dishes and cookware as well as towels and plenty of extra perks. Would definitely stay here again!
Went up to visit my boyfriend and his mom while they are hiking the Appalachian trail. Great little spot to unwind and relax with an amazing view of the mountains.

We had a great weekend getaway. Enjoyed the hot tub and the fireplace. Close enough to Bryson city and had great views! I’d stay here again!
Had an awesome time. Loved the house and hot tub. Was very peaceful. Had a tremendous stay there. Would definitely recommend it to others. Will visit again
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.

What an adorable cabin. Clean with all the amenities a person could ask for. The rental company was easy to work with and Billy was a gem. We had winter weather move in and he helped us get an extra day for our safety. Loved this cabin and the rental company.

Reviewer Comments:
Beautiful view. Peaceful and cozy.
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.
This property is immaculate and the views… there are no words. The pictures we took are worthy of a magazine. I will be framing some of them. We are planning another trip to this cabin and town in the fall. Cannot wait.. my highest recommendation!!
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.
Our family of 4 (mom, dad, two teens 14-15) had a great stay at the "Birdsnest". The mountain views were great and a wonderful backdrop for breakfast, lunch or dinner and sitting in the hot tub.Everything went smoothly overall, no major complaints. Day 1, the fridge wasn't that cold, but after about 24hrs at the coldest setting, it had cooled down properly. The house was generally clean, however it felt as if the floors could have used a bit more attention in the living room, specifically the area rug in front of the couch.The furniture was comfortable, as were the beds. The kids shared the loft area, but did not use the pull out couch up there, instead sharing the queen bed. The king bed in the master was comfortable. Hot water was sufficient for 4 showers after a day of activities. We went hiking at Tsali trails and paddleboarded in Lake Fontana. We rented tubes and went tubing on Deep Creek. We also ziplined, rafted, and rented "duckies" a the Nantahala Outdoor Center (NOC). We had a great time as family without the distraction of WiFi (there is none) and extremely limited cell service (1 bar on AT&T - calls and texts could be made, but sending pictures or using data was very slow and spotty.)We spent about 4 of our evenings after dinner building the 999 piece puzzle - there is 1 piece missing!Note - the road/driveway up to the house is STEEP. If you're going there at a time that might see snow/ice, you need 4-wheel drive and maybe even chains.
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.
It was great I celebrated my birthday and started a new job .never was able to speak with anyone before or afterwards .
Wasn't much to watch on TV and couldn't watch on my tablet bc no wifi other than that it was nice and peaceful
My family and I spent a week at this caving. Although it did rain almost every day. We still got out to enjoy Bryson City and Cherokee. The cabin has everything needed and grocery store is only 17mins away. The one way rd up to the cabin does have some pull offs to let other by. The beds were comfy and the loft was a great view to wake up to. Start the coffee and sit on the deck and watch the clouds go by. No wifi and that’s was nice.

Reviewer Comments:
The cabin was in a quiet area, not far from town, and offered beautiful views. The house was nice enough. But our biggest issue was the rental company. We thought we could get away from everyone for a few days, but other than the first day we were there, we had something happen. One day the cleaning lady inadvertently came early, then the trash guy, then the rental place was calling us asking when we planned to leave. It was almost as if they had a booking right after our stay and needed to quadruple check we would leave on time. It was annoying and made us uncomfortable. The house was fine, but the experience from everything will probably keep us from renting from them again.
