Create everlasting memories with your loved ones while gathered around the gas fireplace and streaming your favorite series and movies on the large Roku smart TV. The well-appointed kitchen has all the essentials to prepare meals from intimate meals for couples to extravagant feasts. There is a coffee bar complete with a Keurig coffee maker with assorted K-cups and all the essentials.
The main level has a spacious master bedroom with a King bed and an en suite master bathroom. Wide French doors lead to a private screened in porch, the perfect place for a quiet cup of coffee before you start your day or a relaxing glass of wine before turning in for the night.
This level grants you easy access to an extensive wrap-around deck with seating, outdoor dining area, an electric grill, and gorgeous mountain views. A laundry room with a washer/dryer can be found on this level as well.

You will find two more spacious bedrooms on the upper level each with Queen beds and one full bathroom. One of the Queen bedrooms upstairs has a fold down futon bed for additional sleeping space. The second Queen bedroom upstairs houses the dedicated workspace with a desk and swivel chair. The upper level loft is also home to a full sized shuffleboard game with seating overlooking the main living area.

When it comes to indoor entertainment, the home boasts a game/media room on the lower level, which features a Roku TV, foosball table, a wall-mounted dartboard, wall-mounted Tic-Tac-Toe, and a variety of board and card games. You will also find a Ladder Ball set, a cornhole game set, giant Jenga and Connect 4 games. From here, you will also have access to another wrap-around deck with a bubbly hot tub area decorated with string lights and the most fabulous mountain views. Take a break in the hammock on this balcony overlooking the mountain or enjoying the forest activity. Other great perks include an outdoor lighted firepit area with seating perfect for roasting marshmallows!
Sleeping arrangements on this level include a kids bunk bedroom with games, a play tent, kids toys and an additional Roku smart TV. There is an en suite bathroom as well.

Nearby attractions include Nantahala Outdoor Center where you can raft, shop and/or dine. Drive a short distance to the Smoky Mountain Railroad, downtown Bryson City which includes shops, breweries, and dining. We love Deep Creek River tubing and Deep Creek Winery! Rent a pontoon boat on Lake Fontana from Almond Boat Park and go fishing or tubing for the day. Attend seasonal events at Darnell Farms, check their website for current festivals.

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.
