This is a great place to stay and the hosts were awesome to deal with. The road up to the cabin is intimidating. I'm sure it could be driven by a car, but you might get beat up by the gravel. We had an all wheel drive SUV and it was perfectly fine, although when you get halfway up the road, there's a lot of "No trespassing" signs that may make you think you're on the wrong road, but if you're following Google maps directions and the directions on the website, you're on the right road. Not sure how passable the road would be in wet weather, though. The place was great and the views and privacy are awesome. You are definitely off the grid here. After the first couple days, you get comfortable with the road.
Easy to get to. Anything we forgot was already there. Clean. Comfortable. Feels like youâre home. Easy communication and easy check-in/check-out instructions. BEAUTIFUL views and close to any activities you might have planned but far enough up and away for quiet mornings or nights.
This was an amazing property. I was on a solo trip to rest, recharge, and celebrate my bday and the location had everything I needed. The view from the porch was my favorite, I had several meals out there. The host was very nice and had great communication. I will be back and hopefully bring my family with me. 10/10 would recommend.
My husband and I visited the Firefly to celebrate our marriage and we had a lovely time. Itâs the perfect place to cozy up with a good book near the fire. We also brought our dog, and she probably had more fun than we did running around the yard. Overall, a great stay and we would absolutely come back. My only suggestion would be getting some new cooking utensils because the ones provided are a bit melted and chipping.
Our trip was to get away from city life for a couple days.
Plan your trip as far as food, itâs a bit of a run to Bryson City if you need a stick of butter.
We were there for the fall colors and it didnât disappoint.
Sitting in the hot tub during a sunset, while watching the bats fly around, just couldnât be beat.
The furniture and bedding was comfortable, the view from the dining room table made breakfast and dinner very enjoyable.
Iâd definitely return!
This property was well situated for a weekend of hiking and water fun. Right near the NOC. Hot tub and full both worked great! The place could have been a little cleaner but overall it was a good stay and we had everything we needed.
We picked this for the view and it really delivered! Thereâs a cute little bar/seating area overlooking the mountains and next to the hot tub - which is perfect. The property was clean and well maintained, and we loved the fire pit. We had a great time getting away, and itâs so close to the Nantahala Outdoor Center (under 5 min), which was great for grabbing a meal or a drink and sitting by the river. We hope to return!
Everything was perfect. Owner super nice and responsive to questions. The scenery was beautiful. Leaves were at peak color.
House was well supplied and clean. We used the fireplace every night.
Super place to relax. One thing we liked was the house wasnât over the top with tacky nicknacks like most of the previous places weâve stayed at.
The porch was the perfect place to relax and take in the mountain views. This cabin just became our favorite and we are looking forward to returning asap.
I was told upon arrival that there had been a renter there before us for multiple months and had trashed the place. Under those circumstances I think the cleaning crew did a great job cleaning the hot tub and providing linens by the time we got there. The issues that we had during our stay were noted to the owners and Iâm sure will be fixed for the future. The location is very convient to NOC and Bryson city. We were not in a 4x4 vehicle but I would recommended one if you stay here as it is way up on a mountain on all gravel roads. The twin beds were not comfortable at all and the bedroom carpet should be replaced as it is not in the best shape. Other than that the view was beautiful, fire pit area very relaxing, and kitchen is spacious.
We've stayed at this cabin multiple times and know what to expect, always clean, great location to Bryson City or Nantahala outdoor center. The outdoor space is great, we can either enjoy a great view from the deck or hang out by the fire pit. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
This property is a perfect home-away-from-home getaway in the mountains. The house is on the smaller side and perfectly laid out for an intimate and quiet vacation. I adored the views, the hot tub, and the fireplace in the living room. We had a great few days staying unplugged (our cell phone service - tmo - doesn't have signal up there ) vacation gaming, puzzling, and watching old movies.
I could not have asked for a better or more relaxing getaway for the holidays.
We are from Eastern NC, very different from the mountains. With my parents now retired and getting older, I decided to take them on a mountain getaway for 4 nights. Firefly turned out to be the best stay we could have hoped for! The location was remote enough to give us the scenery and relaxation we wanted, but still only about 10 minutes from downtown Bryson City. Overall, probably the best mountain trip ever! My thanks to Patrick and Shauna for allowing us to stay in their incredible cabin!!!
This cabin definitely exceeded our expectations. The cabin was clean when when we arrived. The views were breathtaking, especially when the colors were changing! The host was easy to get a hold of and was willing to give opinions on what was good to enjoy in the area. The fireplace was AMAZING! We used the indoor fireplace daily. They supplied plenty of firewood and firestarter items. The beds were comfortable. Overall, our stay was very relaxing and beautiful. It was also a major plus that this place was pet friendly. Would definitely stay again!
If you are looking for complete seclusion, this is the place. WONDERFUL VIEW of mountains while you sit and soak in the hot tub. My hunny and I loved our time in your cabin.
Thank you so much for everything, we will be returning in 6 weeks.
The home was excellent and we enjoyed our stay. The view was breathtaking. The road to the cabin was rough, but worth the climb. We will definitley return.
The views of all the fall colors is prettier than we even imagined. Perfect cabin with a beautiful clearing out back for the fire pit. Very secluded and great for a weekend getaway with views!
The property was beautiful and stay was great. We did have issues getting in touch with the owner, and there was alot of conflicting information with what was expected at checkout, but we managed to get in touch before checkout and get some stuff sorted, so it wasn't an issue in the end, and the owner seems very kind. The driveway was pretty terrifying and we couldn't believe, looking at it, that it was 2 wheel drive, but we made it in, and it got less frightening throughout the week. Just definitely plan to get there during the day so it's easy to see. There was a good amount of pet hair, but that's expected at a pet friendly cabin. Definitely bring some basics stuff(such as toilet paper) as there wasn't much provided. But all in all, gorgeous view, comfortable stay, and quiet, so we definitely enjoyed our stay and loved the drive to and from town. So few lights makes a gorgeous night sky also!
This was our second trip to the area and firefly. We had another great stay. I highly recommend this property. Itâs secluded and peaceful with a great view, but close to Bryson City and Cherokee. Looking forward to our next trip.
This property was exactly as advertised, except the view was even better in person! We had an issue with the hot tub, but the owner responded very quickly. We loved the hot tub, the fire pit, the fresh mountain air and beautiful view! The kitchen was nicely appointed. While we didnât cook on our short weekend visit, it had everything anyone would need. We will definitely return again. This place is isolated and perfect for a romantic getaway, with enough room to bring family or to have a couples weekend. When looking for a weekend getaway, we look for isolation, yet close to attractions. We want a view and a hot tub, plus we need pet friendly. This place is perfect. We will definitely return again!
A perfect place for restorative rest and complete get-away. It is up a mountain, and I mean up. Secluded and tranquil. Very private setting in the trees with incredible views of the sunset. Really spectacular! This is a simple cabin, very nicely remodeled, and accommodating for a family of six. Nicely furnished and comfy. My adult children chose to spend a day just handing out around the fire pit - in July! It is so peaceful. There is almost a constant breeze through the trees that creates such a relaxing setting. Minutes from the NOC and a general store, even though if feels so remote. It will be on our Return-To list.
Great cabin! We had all the things needed to make the stay great, cabin had all kitchen stuff youâd need to cook meals, the laundry room has what you need, they keep firewood stocked, the hot tub was awesome! Would definitely stay again, we all loved it.
We booked Firefly for my Birthday, and our 6th anniversary vacation. It was AMAZING! Day one we decided to extend our stay, and Patrick was extremely accommodating and easy to contact! The views are breathtaking, and the location is perfect. No close neighbors, just nature and fresh air. The road was very well maintained and we had no issues getting up or down the mountain. The house was well stocked with dishes/cookware and everything was very clean. I wish I could leave photos of the views. Watching the sunset over the mountains while enjoying the hot tub was our favorite! We will 100% be staying again!!
