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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian C. 30 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous Bryson City Cabin Beautiful mountain cabin in a really cool location.

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. ##### Abbie H.

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. ##### Kody D.

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! ##### Jennifer J.

They were very attentive and accessible. We booked this location as it could accommodate our group of 7. We were 4 adults and 3 grandkids. 11 y/o grandson and 15/17 y/o granddaughters. Immediately our granddaughters were literally running around on their cell phones showing off the cabin to their friends. The cabin was so spacious that everyone was able to find their very own “perfect” spot to relax and decompress. My husband enjoyed the screened in room to relax and read, my daughter and husband enjoyed the jacuzzi, outdoor seating and of course the game room with their son. The girls had their own hidey holes where they could talk to their friends and share their adventure. While mom and dad took them all out, my husband and I enjoyed the silence of the cabin, the beauty of the outdoors and the sound of nature. We all spent quality time together as a family and enjoyed family meals. I asked the kids to tell me what they enjoyed most about the cabin: 11 y/o enjoyed the game room, theater and shuffleboard that he played endlessly with his dad. 15 y/o stated she loved that there was always something to do and the 17 y/o said she loved the views from the multiple balcony’s and to be able to see the views from different perspectives. This family trip exceeded my expectations. When you walk through the front door and begin your story just remember your possibilities are limitless. ##### Nancy E.

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. ##### Jim F.

The teens loved the theatre, game room and hot tub. We had a hard time getting them to even come up to eat. We found everything that we needed to make meals. The cabin is spacious with plenty of room to spread out. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. I give it an A! ##### Martha V.
