Firefly Trip

Came to Gatlinburg to see the fireflies and this was the perfect place to stay! Short drive into Gatlinburg and GSMNP. Great cabin with a wonderful view of the mountains. Soaking in the hot tub was a fantastic way to end the day after hiking. LOTS of options for DoorDash.The owner responded immediately when I had questions and was very helpful.We will definitely return!

The views are immaculate from this home. It’s a safer area. Good location. The drive can be alittle difficult. The driveway for larger vehicles is challenging and very narrow You cannot turn around and backing down is challenging given the step nature of the driveway and onto an active street. I communicated with the host with our length of stay it wouldn’t be possible and we found it caused minor damage to my vehicle. The host was responsive and understanding. Stated we could work out some sort of refund if it was booked. We found that property was booked for the latter half of the week and we have no received any type of communication or refund from the host. Again. It’s a great view. Prime location. Just not ideal for larger vehicles and a longer stay.

The cabin itself was great. Communication with the host was always prompt and Farin answered any questions we had in a timely manner. They were very accommodating -allowing us to bring all three of our dogs regardless of size and breed when many other properties we had looked at would not. However, I do think there should be a photo or two included in this listing of the driveway. We brought 3 cars with us. Of those, one of them we couldn’t use during the stay because it could not get out of -or into- the driveway without scraping the bottom very badly. The other two vehicles we had to drive out of the driveway before having any passengers hop in to avoid scraping the pavement. We all jumped out of the car before pulling into the driveway as well. It’s not just steep, but has a slant to it in two directions. The driveway situation is truly the only reason I can’t give 5 stars. If the driveway was fixed & re-done, there would be no complaints about this home.Someone in our group saw bear(s) every day which was a lot of fun!

Nice stay

Nice cabin, a lot of nice little touches and clean/modern. Saw some bears in the back and has a great view. Driveway is steep and it’s best to turn the car around when you get near the cabin. When leaving stay all the way to the right of the driveway to avoid a lip on the left.

About the host

Hosted by Farin Milligan

Host profile image
Our family is from Texas originally. However for the last 15 years we have called south Florida home.

When this began we would take yearly mountain retreats as our family vacation since we live so close to the ocean. This turned into the desire to own our own mountain retreat that further evolved into hosting one.

We really enjoy being a part of making memories for families and are hosts that stay personally involved to make sure we can accomplish that.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood due to proximity. Gatlinburg is only a few minute drive away as is so many other options. In the mountains a few miles does not always equal a few minutes, but in this case it does. There are a ton of beautiful properties in this area, but we found this cabin to be the perfect balance of all.

What makes this property unique

We are the unique factor of the property. This region is heavily populated with very similar homes in relation to views and proximity to towns. However we are dedicated to making sure our guests enjoy their stay and are the difference in an average to exceptional experience.
