Secluded Gatlinburg Cabin w/ Hot Tub & Views
Escape to Firefly Vista, a private mountain retreat perched above the vibrant Smoky Mountain Arts & Crafts Community. Whether you are planning a romantic couples vacation or a memorable family trip, this two-bedroom cabin delivers complete seclusion alongside quick access to downtown Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge attractions. You get the peace of a mountain ridge hideaway without sacrificing convenience.
The main level features a welcoming, open floor plan designed for comfort. Prepare home-cooked meals in the remodeled kitchen, complete with modern appliances, expansive counter space, and a drip coffee percolator to start your mornings right. Serve breakfast at the dining table with seating for six. After dinner, settle into the living room beside the warm gas fireplace. A multi-cade arcade game offers hours of classic entertainment for both kids and adults, while the living room sleeper sofa provides extra accommodations for larger groups. The main-floor bedroom includes a comfortable queen-size bed and a flat-screen TV, located right next to a full hallway bathroom boasting a custom tile walk-in shower.
Head upstairs to discover the second sleeping quarters. This partially enclosed suite features a spacious king-size bed, a flat-screen TV, and an attached private bathroom with its own custom tile walk-in shower. A separate seating area holds a twin-size sofa, creating a quiet space for reading or an afternoon nap away from the main floor activity.
Outdoor living is a core part of the Firefly Vista experience. Step out onto the expansive deck to take in the spectacular, unobstructed mountain view. You can relax on the porch swing, settle into the rocking chairs, or melt your stress away in the bubbling hot tub under the night sky. Down in the yard, a park-style charcoal grill and picnic table await your afternoon cookouts among the trees.
The location puts you minutes away from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Dollywood, The Island in Pigeon Forge, and Ober Gatlinburg.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for choosing Firefly Vista for your stay! We are so glad you enjoyed our great location near Gatlinburg, the Arts & Crafts Community, and the GSMNP.
We completely understand that navigating mountain roads can sometimes be tricky. Because we offer a very private ridgetop location with mountain views of Mount Guyot, the drive up does involve a moderately steep road with a few tight turns. Tucked away in the trees, the natural, rustic surroundings can sometimes make the route feel a bit rugged, and we apologize if it caused any confusion during your arrival. We always recommend guests take it slow, as the peaceful seclusion at the top is truly worth the journey!
I agree on it being a bit unmaintained, the HOA is responsible and they have not been doing their job lately. I went up last week and spent a half day working on the road - clearing weeds and and close branches.
Thank you again for your review, and we hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again for another Smoky Mountain getaway.
We had a great time! The owners were very helpful and the property and cabin were perfect for our family. It had all we needed to cook and grill and even had things we didn't think of. Thank you for a great stay. We will definitely be back!

We take great pride in our very private ridgetop location, and we’re so glad you enjoyed that amazing mountain view of Mount Guyot from the deck and hot tub. It truly is the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring the nearby Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP) or browsing the local galleries in the Smoky Mountain Arts & Crafts Community.
Being just minutes away from all the excitement of Gatlinburg while still feeling tucked away in nature is what makes our cabin so special. We hope to welcome you back to our little slice of the Smokies again soon!
The cabin was beautiful and secluded. Very relaxing and peaceful. We actually got to see a beautiful mama bear with her 4 cubs walk right up to the cabin and around the cabin. Highly recommend staying here for location as well. It was a great spot for getting to either Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge. Not a long drive either way.

We had an amazing stay. Cabin was clean and well stocked. Hot tub was hot and clean - and the view! We were about 15 minutes away from the Greenbrier entrance to the national park, where we enjoyed the Porter’s creek trail with our kids (5, 8 & 10). Similar driving time to get to Gatlinburg vs Pigeon Forge attractions - we enjoyed exploring both areas. Only minor complaint is the mattress on the queen bed - quite firm, could use an update. Despite that, would stay again.
