Oconaluftee Tale
The Naming of the cabin

Oconaluftee is named after the Oconaluftee River which flows through the Eastern Cherokee Reservation; a town on it was called Egwonulati, from e-gwo-ni plus nu-la-ti [“beside”]. In speech, the name became Egwonul’ti, the eclipsed “a” becoming a nearly aspirated sound that made the name sound to those not fluent in Cherokee as “Uhquonulfti,” which came out as Oconaluftee [pronounced “oh-KOH-na-LUFF-tee”]. A fairly good modern translation of the old town name would be “Riverside.” The present town of Tsisquohi [Birdtown] is on about the same site.

But we are not near a river, up here on the hillside. We just like sound of the vowels and consonants rolling over each other.

Wildlife visits the cabin.

• Our guests may see wild turkey, squirrels, raccoons and of course bears.
  • We strongly advise against feeding them or harassing them in any way as they are wild creatures. Then there is the mamma bear and her 3 cubs that also frequent our home.

My husband, Jerry, and I, Lu, along with our daughter, Polly, have decorated this luxury Five Star Pigeon Forge cabin with all the goodies and refinements that we feel our guests with be pretty pleased with.
