Steps to the Parkway w/Hottub - Walk to Attractions
Vacay To The Smokies would love to host you at the Firefly Bungalow. Here at Firefly Bungalow #2, the music of crickets, peepers, and whippoorwills will lull you to sleep. The faint fragrance of mountain magnolia will greet you in springtime. Flashes of fireflies, and rhythms of rain on the metal roof will delight you on summer evenings. Autumn foliage will lure the leaf peepers. Fresh winter snowfall on mountain peaks is breathtaking, and holiday events in the Smokies draw travelers from around the world. Firefly Bungalow #2 is perfect for couples, families, and small groups of friends.
Living Spaces
The living room has accent walls of reclaimed barn wood, a ceiling fan, a sturdy oak futon/sofa-bed, a coffee table, an electric wood stove/fireplace-style heater, and a large wall-mounted flat-screen TV. After a day exploring the mountains, curl up in the evenings and stream your favorite movies or shows. There's also a vintage trunk with a variety of family games.
This one-story bungalow has two AC units for cooling in the summer, and space heaters throughout for heating in winter. It is tranquil in all seasons. The wood, wooden furnishings, and old-time Appalachian decor give this cabin-style home a rustic, Smoky Mountain ambiance.
Kitchen & Dining
The kitchen has solid wood cabinets and natural pinewood trim. Appliances include a four-burner electric range, oven, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, toaster, large double-basin stainless steel sink, and French door fridge/freezer combo. Gorgeous, natural edge, wooden, open shelving nicely displays dishware, glassware, and stemware. A decorative lantern chandelier adds charm and character to the kitchen. The dining area offers a sturdy, solid wood, Amish-style circular table with seating for four.
Bedrooms & Baths
Firefly Bungalow #2 has two bedrooms, each with a luxurious king-size bed, authentic quilts, nightstands with reading lamps, closets with built-in chest of drawers, and wall mount, flat-screen TVs. (For guests traveling with small children, a pack and play is available upon request.) The two king bedrooms share access to a full bathroom off the hallway, with a tub/shower combo, single-sink vanity, large well-lit mirror, and plenty of cabinet storage space. Toiletries, hairdryer, robes, and plush towels are all provided.
Outdoor Amenities
Nicely landscaped outdoor areas truly set this bungalow apart. Indulge in the hot tub after a day of outdoor Smoky Mountain adventure or gather around the firepit for s'mores. The backyard offers a picnic table for outdoor dining, a BBQ grill, and two charming wooden rocking chairs on the covered back porch, where you can sit awhile, sip your sweet tea, and enjoy the sunset.
The Firefly Bungalow is a duplex with a privacy fence in between the two units. In addition to the fence, the property is nestled in a forested grove that provides natural privacy from the bustling parkway.

Cute cabin rental. Loved the "outdoorsy decor." Comfy beds. Large tvs in living room and bedrooms! My favorite was the outdoor space with the fire pit and jacuzzi. We walked to the mexican restaurant and Sonic for nightly ice cream!
We loved our stay at the Hummingbird Cabin. It was a perfect location to run do things in Pigeon Forge. The owner was a wonderful resource when we had questions. I would definitely stay here again!
This cabin had everything we needed plus extra touches that put it over the top! They thought of everything. Secluded feel but walking distance to the parkway and all of the conveniences that go with it. Host was very responsive. Five stars! We'll be back!
The locations was perfect! The outdoor seating around the hot tub was so cute and relaxing. We could walk to The Diner and a few other places. We even took a stroll with our dog through the nearby cemetery. As someone else mentioned the garbage truck does run about 3 a.m. each morning, which seems to signal the birds to start singing outside the bedroom window on the front side of the house. Neither of those really bothered us. The home itself was well stocked and very clean! We were quite comfortable and would definitely stay here again.
I loved this cabin! Secluded and walking distance to some great shops. Host was very helpful throughout the process and offered some great places to visit during our stay.
Exactly as described! Great location - steps from the parkway, shops and dining. The property was very clean and well stocked. Owner was very helpful! Would definitely stay here again.
My family and I spent New Years weekend in Pigeon Forge and stayed at this location and we had an absolute blast. The location of the condo is perfect and it’s right near all the main attractions Pigeon Forge has to offer. The condo is very well decorated and it feels as if your staying in a log cabin. Contact with the host was superb and she went out of her way to ensure that my family and I was well taken care of. Highly recommend this location and would stay here again.

We loved the hospitality, can’t wait to come back!
When we arrived, the places was very clean and orderly. The book on the counter was very helpful. We thought it was very rustic and that’s what we were looking for. Can’t wait to come back. The host, she was very nice and very helpful, that’s a win in my book!
Property was just as described. It was really clean and close to everything. Loved how it was decorated. Kendra was great. Very responsive. We wanted to add one more not and she took care of everything. Would definitely stay here again.
If you’re looking for a place to stay that is close to everything this is it. It’s just seconds off the parkway. However with that comes noise. It was quite noisy at night with the traffic and restaurants playing music. There is also a 3am dumpster pick up at a nearby restaurant. You can’t beat the location with this price though. The hot tub and fire pit were so nice. We enjoyed roasting marshmallows. It is all exposed to the road though so just keep that in mind. We brought our dog and it was perfect for her. There is plenty of grass across the street for dogs to go potty. The communication with the host is amazing.
Close to town so we could walk to all the fun attractions and restaurants. After sightseeing we could come back and have a campfire while relaxing in the hot tub. This place was very comfortable and the host Kenda was helpful with any questions we had. Hope to visit again!
