About this property

Lightning Bug Lodge - Cozy Mountain Cabin, Peaceful/Quiet Area, Hot tub!

Escape the hustle and bustle of reality with a stay at Lightning Bug Lodge. While enjoying the firepit one evening our oldest son exclaimed "There are so many lightning bugs, I can catch them with my eyes closed". Hence the name Lightning Bug Lodge. Unlike many other mountain homes, it is easily accessible for all vehicles. When you arrive, the inviting atmosphere makes this cabin the perfect place to rest and unwind. The cabin features a California king bed in one bedroom, a traditional king in the second bedroom, and a full sleeper sofa in the living room with a surprisingly comfortable memory foam mattress. The cabin offers wireless internet and 4 different smart tv's, including one on the screened porch. Take in the view from the porch as you relax in the 4 person hot tub! Another great feature of the cabin is the large outdoor firepit area where you can enjoy an evening of roasting marshmallows. The cabin also offers a conveniently located park style grill. Another unique feature is a large/level parking area with space for multiple vehicles. A wood burning fireplace for those cold winter nights contributes to the cozy charm of the cabin. To top it off, the cabin offers a fully stocked kitchen and a custom made coffee bar for your convenience. Lightning Bug Lodge is the perfect cabin for your next escape from reality!

Great location for a getaway

Although we did not book Lightening Bug because of its proximity to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, visiting these locations is a beautiful drive. The cabin itself is lovely! Clean, safe, convenient, and everything they advertise. We just wanted to kick back and relax all week, which is precisely what we did. We will be considering a return trip.

Family Reset

This cabin was just what we were looking for and more. From the outdoor fire pit to the decorations through the cabin, even down to the thought full details behind the local recommendations. The cabin is just down the road from some of the most beautiful scenic roadway in the Smokies and getting to come back to soak in the hot tube after a day of hiking, relaxing with the chain lights over head was as much therapeutic for the mind as it was for the body. Our family is happy to say that we love forward to staying here again!!!

Wonderful stay

We loved it here. Everything was wonderful. The beds were so comfortable. It was just me and my son. We went to the smoky national park, Gatlinburg and , 🐦 forge. Everything was about 30 mins or so away. Just be careful at night some of those roads are scary during the day let alone at night! Overall if we ever come back we will book with them again. Thank you!

Lighting Bug Lodge

Everything was great at Lightning Bug Lodge. It had everything we needed. We loved spending our nights out by the fire and my kids loved the extra toys to play with. We had a great time and plan on coming back again soon!
