About this cabin rental
Private Hot Tub | 2,100 Sq Ft | Built in 2019
If outdoor endeavors are your thing, you'll be like a kid in a candy store in Bryson City! 'Red Bird Retreat' is perfect for a big adventure, whether it's canoeing the Tuckasegee River, trout fishing on Fontana Lake, or hiking one of the many trails within the Great Smoky Mountains. When it's time to return to the cabin, put your mind and body at ease lounging next to the fire pit - where mountain views accompany the crackling flames!

10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
We had a great time. The house is beautiful and away from everything plus the view is unbelievable. The social area was a little small but with the downstairs it completed the space to spend time as a group. The hot tub was great too and the beds were comfortable.

We loved this cabin so much! A perfect spot for a family of 6 plus an infant. The views are absolutely amazing and the cabin is so cozy. Had a pack n play for baby which made traveling a lot easier. Host was very responsive and helpful. Will definitely be staying again in the future.

The cabin was very clean and felt brand new. It was the best place to stay to really disconnect from the world. The views are beautiful, you are really up there! The host was easy to contact and very helpful. Must stay!

Spent 4 days with our daughter and her family. Cabin was perfect for our group of five. Enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit and the view!
