We were very pleased with our accommodations. The cabin was in perfect condition, with everything we needed....all we had to add was food! We were close to both Bryson City and Cherokee. We loved having a washer & driver available. We will be back!

We absolutely loved the cabin and all the amenities. They were super flexible and very nice when we inquired about adding an additional day to our reservation. The area is gorgeous and the cabins are in a great location for visiting surrounding areas like Bryson City and Sylva. We will definitely be back again soon.

Cabin was perfect, I can’t even think of anything that wasn’t great.. Hate I couldn’t stay longer… Cabin is 5 minutes from everything; casino, waterfall, river rafting, food, everything… Cabin has Direct so I got to even catch the remainder of playoff game after I left casino… It’s really perfect; this will be regular stay for all my casino trips… Thanks for having us…

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.
