Luxury cabin retreat, hot tub
Firefly Cabin is a luxury couples retreat on 7 private acres. With huge windows in every direction, you’ll feel immersed in the woods. Stargaze around the fire at the base of a giant rock outcropping. Relax in the hot tub or swing bed on the lower porch. Your cabin is just a few minutes from Blue Ridge Parkway, downtown Boone, the quaint town of Banner Elk, Grandfather Mountain and so much more!

The cabin is one bedroom and one full bathroom. Upstairs in the loft you`ll find a cozy living area with games, books, yoga equipment and more.
Whole cabin and property except for the lot where our second cabin may house other guests during your stay. Many people hike around the mountain, following the old logging road at the top of the property. If you head up there and go right or west, there`s a giant rock outcropping with an underground stream.
Please feel free to message anytime with questions about the cabin or the area. In the event of an emergency, call or text my personal number.
The cabin is on 7 acres in a quiet community of other cabins.
The cabin is easily accessed by car and just a few minutes away from shops & restaurants.
**As with most properties in the area, vehicles driving to this cabin need snow tires or chains in the winter months during snow fall/icy conditions. Many full time residents occupy the surrounding cabins and the gravel road up to the cabin is easily navigable. Chains can be purchased at many places in the area (and most gas stations).
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Firefly Cabin was magical
One of the best getaways ever! The Firefly Cabin is everything promised, charming, quaint, comfortable and meticulously clean. Jandy was gracious and took care of everything. There were welcome goodies, even cold waters in the refrigerator (she did not overlook one detail) heated bathroom floors, the hot tub was private and so relaxing, even the linens were top notch and so cozy! We hope to take many more trips to firefly to enjoy the peace and quiet of this quaint mountain town!
