Fireflies & Moonshine Cabin has great reviews and we are always doing updates. The cabin has 2 gas fireplaces (open Oct-Apr depending on outdoor temps) and an electric fireplace above the soaker in the 1st floor suite! We are in a neighborhood style resort (not secluded) only 3 miles from downtown Gatlinburg, sleeps up to 6 total (no more than 5 adults) comfortably with easy parking for 2 cars and a short walk to the swimming pool (open May-Sept). The kitchen is stocked with all the cookware and dishes you need for your stay, and thereโ€™s a natural gas grill on the deck. Each bedroom suite has its own Smart TV, and there's plenty of space to relax. Enjoy Mt. LeConte views from the front porch, make family memories with evening shuffleboard competitions and board games, savor morning coffee, or melt into quiet moments in the unique sunroom.

The cabin is about 10 minutes to some great hiking spots at the Greenbrier section of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, less than a mile from Rocky Top Sports World, or a quick drive into Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge for tons of family fun!

We love staying at the Fireflie cabin. We have stayed there many times, and each time has been wonderful. We love the quiet area of the cabin and that Gatlinburg is just up the road. We highly recommend it!

After Christmas getaway

Enjoyed our stay, plenty of room for five people, thankful for the baby gate with a toddler that loves to explore. And she loved her bath time in the master bath with the fireplace going to keep her toasty.

Cabin in the Smokies

The cabin is very clean and perfectly decorated for a mountain stay. Bedrooms were roomy and beds were fairly comfortable (if you like soft). The kitchen had all the utensils we needed plus some handy items, like salt and pepper. We had fun on a rainy night with a shuffle board and Pac-Man tournament, thanks to the "game room" section. It was very nice to have! Parking was easy and flat, so no worries about setting a parking brake. I'd definitely stay again and recommend this unit.

Wonderful!

We had another wonderful visit at the Fireflies & Moonshine Cabin! As always, we enjoyed the kitchen with many great tools for all of our cooking needs. The cabin was very clean and well taken care of. We love the location to Smoky Mountain National Park and enjoyed several days hiking.

The perfect cabin

Our family really enjoyed staying here! It was perfect for what we needed - extremely clean, 5 min to Rocky Top Sports Center, spacious, and beautiful. The downstairs bed was quite uncomfortable, but other than that we have no complaints.

Great home base

We really loved our stay. The cabin was spotless and had plenty of room for our family of 4. I especially liked the little enclosed porch space with comfortable reclining chairs. It was the perfect spot to step away from the main cabin area to enjoy the surrounding trees and relax while others watched TV, played arcade games, etc. after our hiking adventures in the Great Smoky Mountains.

Great trip!

Our family loves staying at Fireflies and Moonshine. There were things to keep the kids busy with the games, pool and hot tub. It was also close to so many attractions, we were able to enjoy the Smokey Mountains and ventured into Gatlinburg too. Although. We would have loved to see a bear, we did not, I think it was due to the precautions the owners took to ensure our safety.

Special vacation with our Grandson

Beautiful location, convenient to everything and very comfortable. We were able to hike every day with a short drive to all our destinations. Plenty to do right around our cabin with convenience to groceries, restaurants and shops. The trolly was a nice way to head to Gatlinburg without the hassle of parking or the $$ to park. The hot tub was a relaxing way to end the day. The kitchen had all the appliances we needed. The living room was a great gathering and relaxing spot. The loft was a hit for us and our grandson with the shuffleboard and video game!

About the host

Hosted by April and Dave

Host profile image
Peaks & Palms Vacation Rentals is small and family owned & operated. We are hands-on owners and bring a sensible guest-minded approach to rates, updates, amenities, and style.
We have 3 log cabins in Gatlinburg, TN, the gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains; and a condo just steps away from the beach in Siesta Key!

We are frequent visitors to the Smokies and love all that is has to offer and are always ready to head back whether for hiking, viewing wildlife, taking our kids for walks in nearby creeks, go-carting, or just driving through the beautiful Smoky Mountain National Park to enjoy the scenery.

Why they chose this property

This is our 2nd of 3 cabins in the same resort. It was previously owned by a couple as a second home. This cabin is one of the best maintained we've ever seen and has flat parking! The cabin is in a perfect location to enjoy the many activities available in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area. It is quiet and relaxing and feels like you are miles from hustle and bustle, yet it is minutes from everything.

What makes this property unique

We love this cabin and it shows! You won't find a 2 bedroom cabin with the extra space this one has, or one in better condition anywhere in the area. We are constantly working to improve our guest's experience whether it is an equipped kitchen, fresh stain, tasteful dรฉcor, or simply fixing or replacing that thing that is broken to ensure you have a great time! It is located near the Arts & Crafts Community where you can spend hours (or maybe days) viewing and buying things from local craftspeople. We are about a mile to Rocky Top Sports World. You can sit on the front porch or the back sun room sipping coffee while you plan your day and enjoy the beauty of our cabin's location.
This cabin has many updates including granite countertops and updated appliances in the kitchen, all new flooring, and remodel of both 1st & 2nd floor bathrooms, along with with fireplace and soaker in the 1st floor bedroom!
