About 20 minutes from Bryson City where you can visit all of the mountain excursions. There was a creek running through the property. My favorite part of the cottage was the bed swing on the front porch. We would sit there at night and listen to all of the bature sounds and the babbling of the creek. Wifi with multiple televisions so keep you entertained. A beauitful big kitchen with everything youd need to cook. Comfy couches and multiple sleeping areas.

If you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of life and relax this is the perfect place. There is a fire pit along the stream and a hot tub on the deck. Looks like there were 2 other tiny houses on the same property but they are far enough away that you don’t really see the other guests or you could rent all 3 places if you wanted to have multiple families. ##### Stacy C.

Jun 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This place is absolutely amazing if you want to literally get away from it all! It’s quiet, in the woods away from everything and everyone. The weather was amazing the whole time we were there. We loved being able to sit out on the front porch and listen to the nature around us, smell the fresh air, see the humming birds and watch the lightning bugs at night. This was mine and my husband’s first real vacation! Life always got in the way before. Shelby, the host was absolutely amazing! She communicated with us before our trip even started( again life was starting to got in the way) we almost had to cancel our trip. But she was very understanding, accommodating and patient me, us. The kids had a great time playing in the little creek by the house, walking down to see the lake, playing games and they enjoyed the hot tube. We didn’t want to leave. We highly recommend “Firefly Lane” if you want to relax and get away from it all! When we decided to take another vacation to this area we would definitely love to stay here again.

It was really cold the first night due to the record breaking low temperatures, but the next two nights were perfect! The upstairs bedroom was perfect for the kids to hang out. They said it was their favorite part of the whole trip! Our host was helpful and kind and responded quickly. This is the perfect rental for a family of four but could accommodate more. It's only about 20 minutes from Bryson City and would be perfect for those visiting for The Polar Express! ##### Jessica S. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer M. Dec 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quaint and cozy! We enjoyed our stay in this cabin! The hot tub -and fireplace were perfect on a chilly night! Everything was clean and well-stocked. The Christmas decorations were a nice touch! We had two couples and a 7 year old, and the room arrangements were perfect for our group. It was a little inconvenient to have just one bathroom at times, but we knew that ahead of time. Those with mobility issues should be aware that the only bathroom is on the first floor, and most beds are on the second floor. Not a huge issue for us though. This is is very cute little place, and we would definitely consider staying here again! Thank you! ##### Jennifer M.
