About this property

Serenity only steps away from the Smokies.

We are Alina & Bubba, the former 5-Star Super Hosts of The Little Gem of Sapphire Valley (ID 1367382), and are proud to offer the New Little Gem, located in Bryson City, NC., for your consideration.

The Firefly Cabin is located on the same 4-acre property as the Little Gem of Bryson (ID 3371444). This quaint, one-bedroom cabin sleeps up to 4-people and is perfect for a small group who want to be close to the Deep Creek Recreation Area at the southern edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Please note that the Firefly cabin is a 13’x33’ converted manufactured home, but you'd never know by the looks of it. Pretty much everything inside is brand new.

The cabin is fully outfitted and comes with two Fire TVs that are subscribed to Amazon Prime. In order to vew other platforms, guests will need to login to their own accounts or cast. Please plan accordingly.

Relax on the expansive porch or around the fire ring, all while being entertained by the dancing fireflies. The cabin is located just 150-yards from the Tom Branch entrance to the park. Unlike the original Little Gem, there are no HOA rules, parking lot restrictions, or even neighbors, for that matter. We are now a secluded, restful homestead ready to welcome you to a relaxing stay.

Bryson City, itself, is a mere 6 minutes down the road, as is the Tuckaseegee River, Great Smoky Mountain Railroad, and the infamous "Road to Nowhere". The city of Cherokee, as well as its Casino, are 10-minutes away. The Newfound Gap Road to Gatlinburg, Blue Ridge Parkway, and Oconaluftee Visitor Center entrance to the National Park is only 11-miles away.

Nearby excitement includes Whitewater Rafting on the Nantahala, Tubing or Fly Fishing on Deep Creek or the Tuckaseegee, and experiencing the Polar Express on the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad.

For inquiries regarding The Little Gem's Main House, or the availability of both houses, please send an inquiry stating so.

About the host

Host profile image
Alina & Bubba are the former owners of The Little Gem of Sapphire Valley, a 5-Star Super Host property. We welcomed guests to our townhome for 5-years until the opportunity presented itself to 'upgrade.' We’ve always wanted more land so, naturally, when this property came available, we jumped on it.

Why they chose this property

The Firefly Cabin is located on 4-acres of wooded land just down the road from GSMNP southern boundary. It is quiet, peaceful, and gives a prime opportunity for stargazing. All activities are within a few minutes of the cabin including the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad, Deep Creek, Tuckasegee River, Cherokee Reservation and Casino, and the Newfound Gap road to Gatlinburg.

What makes this property unique

The Firefly Cabin is located only 150-yards from the Tom Branch entrance to the Smoky Mountains National Park and 1-mile from the Deep Creek Recreation Area.
