5 Star Get Away
The cabin was a perfect location, very clean, lots of space for multiple families & the hosts go above & beyond to make your stay a dream vacation. Check in was easy & communication with host always had a quick response. The only negative is that at time of check in we noted 7 unlocked entry level windows, 1 front door & 1 movie room garage door which is just a safety thing with kids & watching to many secluded mountain scary movies. The door locks and handles are a bit tricky to use but the location is completely safe & well lit outside. We definitely would stay again & highly recommend for others to do so.

Wonderful House for all ages!
We loved this property SO much! It was really clean, a good size and had everything you could need. The owner did not skimp on the furnishings. Our kids, ages 2-4 loved the game room…(even the adults had their time on the air hockey table). The bed rooms were very spacious and the kitchen was fully stocked with every utensils you could need. We started our morning with the complementary coffee and then fixed a breakfast for 6 adults and 4 children. We all fit perfectly and still had plenty of room. This is a house we can continue to come back to as our family ages. Thank you for this wonderful experience!

Great House, Great Views, Wonderfully Appointed!
We had a great time staying at the Firefly Lodge. The house is in great shape, very well maintained and super clean. The home is also very well appointed with everything you need -- we were also very impressed with the attention to detail in making things feel like home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and always love coming to Bryson City!

The Perfect Trip
The house was everything we hoped for and more. The communication was excellent before, during and after the stay. It was a perfect house for two families (4 adults, 4 kids and a dog). Our kids did not ask for their iPads or games once the entire stay. Easy access to amazing hiking though there’s enough to do at the house to never leave. The hot tub was clean to relax the legs, cooked dinner for the group every night (kitchen had everything we needed). We made smores at the fire pit and finished the day with a movie in the theatre every night. It was truly a perfect trip. The only knock I have is that I wish fewer people knew about it so we could have stayed longer. We already cant wait for our next trip to firefly lodge.

Excellent Hosts, Mother Nature had other plans
Unfortunately our stay had to be postponed due to both Hurricane Helene hit the area as well as both Hurricane Helene and Milton hitting our hometown of Manasota Key, FL. Ashley understood our situation and worked with us through the VRBO process. We definitely plan to re-schedule this trip as it was to have been a birthday celebration for both more husband and daughter who share a birthday and were hitting some milestone years. As Hosts ourselves of a vacation rental in Florida we appreciate other hosts who would do what we would have done for our guests in a situation out of their control. We will be back....Thank you to Ashley and Firefly Lodge!

Exactly what we wanted. We have stayed in a different cabin in the area each year for the last 12 years. This was our favorite. Very nice inside. Very secluded outside. The game room & theater were a big hit. Description is accurate & owner is friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Fabulous Bryson City Cabin
Beautiful mountain cabin in a really cool location. Everything was super clean and comfortable. The decks are awesome and there are plenty of games in the basement for the family. The owners are very conscientious and attended to every detail, including mailing back my son’s AirPods very quickly. We would definitely stay there again. Bryson City is a wonderful small mountain town that is definitely worth visiting.

Celebrations
We were making a vacation to celebrate milestones in our family. Frist, it was my Dad's 89th birthday. Secondly, earlier it was my parent's 67th wedding anniversary. And lastly our eldest daughter also had a birthday in the week. We wanted to rent "On Golden Pond" for a movie night to celebrate their anniversary, but internet/ streaming service was too poor all week long - even went completely out in spots. YouTubeTV, HULU, Netflix & Prime all wouldn't play. Social Media would scroll but not play video. The last mile or so is on a private, one lane, gravel road that could have been improved; very bumpy. I would not attempt the drive in a sedan in the late fall thru winter months. Area events were fantastic: On to these hills in Cherokee, Train ride and tubing were great as well. My parents are in good, but declining health and main floor accommodations were well suited for them. Overall, if you want solitude/ cool weather vacation in a very nice house - it is as advertised.

Will definitely book again!
We enjoyed our time at Firefly cabin and plan to book again in the near future. The cabin is conveniently located to many of our favorite spots in western NC but offers a secluded getaway that is uncommon this close to so many attractions and amenities. The hosts have put thoughtful detail into the cabin, from a well stocked kitchen to very comfortable seating inside and out. They were also excellent communicators, and we knew we could count on a quick response if we needed anything. We have never rented a cabin on a rain water catchment system and were not sure what to expect, but we had zero issues.
