About this property

Firefly - Handcrafted Log Cabin - Near River and Smoky Mountain Railroad

FIREFLY looks like a little mountain farmhouse – rustic outside and charmingly decorated with handcrafted mountain furniture inside.

In the living area, a casual leather sofa faces the large stone fireplace as well as the TV, which has premium channels.

The kitchen is well-equipped and there are two dining tables – inside and outside. The back patio has a charcoal grill, perfect for preparing the "catch of the day." The bedroom on the main floor has a queen-sized bed and a bath with claw-foot tub/shower.

The second floor has a half-bath and 2 bedrooms – one with king-sized bed, and one with a queen-sized bed. We pride ourselves on soft linens and comfortable mattresses for a restful sleep.

Use the air-conditioning we provide, or the ceiling fans and the naturally cool mountain air – your choice.

After an active day and lot's of good vacation food, the perfect spot to relax is our romantic hot tub. You'll enjoy lots of privacy back above the cabin - tucked away in the rhododendron and open to the stars. You might even see a real firefly or two.

We request that the guest who books the reservation be respectfully 18 or older. Pets are allowed though we do ask guests pay pet rent of $80 for their first dog, with an additional $40 for each additional dog, to help cover the additional time it takes our staff to prepare the property for our next guests, please bring a crate if you intend to leave the dog at the property unattended and we reserve the right to decline puppies, large breeds over a certain weight, etc.

Bryson stay
The cabin didn’t appear to be very clean. No closets to hang clothes in. Bath tub was small, had curtain around it for showering. We had very hard time showering. Not handicapped friendly. Had to carry our luggage up step’s just to get into cabin. They had one old Chester drawer down stairs for clothes had foul smell, bottom partially missing in bottom drawer. The property manager said to hang clothes on deer horns. The screen on front screen door holes all through, couldn’t leave front door open cause the screen wouldn’t keep the bugs out. Sit in leather chair in den and you almost went down to the floor. Felt like the bottom of seat was busted out. TV in den was very fuzzy couldn’t see it very good,TV up stairs didn’t work. There was no night stands by bed down stairs to put CPAP on. Wife can’t do stairs. The cabin was smaller than what pictures showed it to be. Didn’t have room for suitcases down stairs it was really small not very user friendly. No dishwasher. No shelves or counter tops in bathroom to put our lotion/things on for normal everyday use. Cabin had roads on two sides not private at all. Steps W/O handrails to get up to hot tub, which wasn’t very easy for us, water green, we didn’t use. Only one window downstairs felt closed in. Would lose our money if went somewhere else. Wasn’t happy with cabin at all.

TLC NEEDED
My Mom, two sisiters and myself rented this cabin. Cabin is smaller than it looks in photos. The kitchen is very small, small stove and refrigerator, which is ok, but needs to be made clear in description. There is only a love seat and one chair in the living room, not enough room for a family of 4 to sit together. The furniture also needs to be updated. No tv's in bedrooms, except one bedroom upstairs, and we could never get it to power on. For the most part it was clean, except for the toilet upstairs and the kitchen floor. Overall, we had a good stay here, this place just needs some TLC
