The home was gorgeous, extremely clean, and exactly what we were looking for for a weekend trip away. Hosts were lovely and easily accessible for any questions we had.
Beautiful place, clean, well appointed and comfortable, close to the clubhouse, dog park, hikes and amenities. Owners were very helpful and great communicators. Our stay was perfect!
We had a wonderful stay. It was a perfect place to spend time as a family (goldendoodle included!) before our boys headed to sleep away camp.

Peaceful, beautiful, accomodating
Had a wonderful stay at firefly. I recommend arriving before dark (unlike us) but owners were very responsive and helpful in getting us in. Snacks were appreciated. It was a perfect stay and very quiet.
Firefly cabin far exceeded our expectations. The private community offered something for everyone. The grounds were beautiful, quiet and serene. Just what we were hoping for on our mountain retreat.The hosts were very accommodating and saw to our every need. I can’t say enough wonderful things about our stay here. It was simply Magical!

Beautiful house in a great location.
Lovely home in the beautiful Chinquapin community near Cashiers. House is walkable to trails, the Chinquapin Outpost/amenity area, and short drive to restaurants and shops of Sapphire, Cashiers and Highlands. House is comfortable with beautiful porches, comfortable beds and a nice bathtub.

House and location was amazing!! Thank you for sharing your home.
This is a beautiful craftsmans house in a beautiful subdivision. There are nearby pickle ball courts, driving range and dog park. I couldn’t have picked a better spot to enjoy the cool fall mountain air.

Firefly is an idyllic mountain cottage
We love Firefly! It is truly magical and made the perfect destination for our Christmas getaway! We always try to stay in Firefly, or the other property owned by Rich and Amy called 76 Campfire Retreat. They are the best hosts, and their properties are perfectly appointed with the best kitchen supplies and comfortable bedding. Thanks for yet another wonderful stay!
With its fishing, driving range, hiking trails and pickle ball, our family of 3 adores Chinquapin and visits frequently. We love the charming 'Firefly' cabin because it's walkable to all the activities yet still feels private and serene. It's clean and very well equipped. We hope to visit again soon.
excellent property in a community setting that is beautifully maintained
cabin has a screened-in porch with mountain views
good location for exploring several small towns with good restaurants and shops
Third time staying in the Outpost, first time in Firefly. Excellent communications with owner and home is well-stocked. Thank you!

Beautiful Home in a Beautiful Area!
Chinquapin is a beautiful area! There is so much to do in a peaceful setting. This home is convenient to all of the amenities, including mini golf, golf range, trails, and the list goes on. It was well equipped with all of the necessities and had very comfortable accommodations. The owners were very hospitable and their pride in ownership showed in this home!
