This is my fourth time to stay at Ela cabins and I have already made reservations for a trip next year. The cabins are clean, well stocked with necessities, and very quiet area. If you’re looking for a place to stay in the area, this is it.
The Bird's Nest is truly my home away from home. Conveniently located for easy access to Cherokee, Bryson City & the most serene little nooks & crannies of nature. I have stayed here the past few years & look forward to future stays. Fully stocked kitchen, washer/dryer units & comfortable furniture made this trip enjoyable.
We enjoyed the quiet, peacefulness of our cabin. It was close to the Inspirations Singing in the Smokies, which was such a blessing. The cabin was clean & was stocked with everything we needed. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality/comfort of the bed's mattress.
Everything great except the place could sure use a few more forks (only 2)!

The Bird's Nest cabin was just the right spot for our Smoky Mountain vacation! We were looking for something in a less touristy area and this was perfect. It was close to the Oconaluftee Visitor Center and to Deep Creek hiking trails. The cabin provided a wonderful space to rest and relax in after our full days of hiking. The bed was really comfortable and the kitchen was equipped with all the basics we needed. We would definitely stay again.
