Super cozy cabin! My 5 year old twins loved the game room upstairs and the bathtub in the bedroom. We loved the sun room and sat it in often. Location was perfect! We will be staying here again in the future.
April and Dave's cabin is as advertised. The cabin was very clean, well appointed kitchen, and the hot tub, arcade and shuffleboard were hits during our stay.Highly recommend for a trip to the Gatlinburg area, especially if attending events at the Rocky Top Sports World complex which is 5 min away.

Home away from home
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!
Would definitely stay there again. Great cabin with all the amenities and a great location just far enough from all the hustle bustle yet so close. ๐

Great cabin, great location.
The cabin was in a great location, clean and well stocked. April and Dave were great, they responded quickly and were very helpful. We had a great vacation and will visit again. Highly recommend.
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.
The house was super cute with all the things we needed for a great vacation. The property owners were awesome leading up to the stay and had a great visitor guide in the house, complete with places to eat and things to do. We had a great time and 100% recommend this property!!!
Just as pleasant as last year. Love this cabin and location. Grocery store restaurants amd the strip not far away. Still plenty of bear sightings around.

Amazing and clean!
Peaks and Plans cabins are wonderful properties to stay at. They are very clean, comfortable, and affordable! The communication response from the owners is very quick and helpful. I would highly recommend these cabins for a beautiful getaway!
Perfect spring break getaway. Upstairs was great for big kids, downstairs was perfect for littles. Loved everything about cabin and location. No complaints on anything.

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.

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.

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.

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Location was great. Beautiful cabin overall. A/C worked great. However, the beds were horrible. Squeeky old box springs and very poor mattresses. Found a pair of shorts and dirty footies in the dresser. Spare blanket was wadded up in a drawer and smelled. I washed it. Hot tub had chlorine dispenser but no tablets in it.

Great stay in the Smokeys
We had a great stay at the Fireflies and Moonshine cabin. We were really close to the grocery store and not a far ride to downtown Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The house had everything we needed and we also enjoyed the community pool which was a short walk from the house. April was super responsive throughout the process. We loved the back sunroom and the playroom upstairs. The house was also extremely clean. We also saw a bear!
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!

Such a great stay!
We really enjoyed our time at fireflies and moonshine cabin during spring break this year! It felt very clean! The cabin had everything we could ever need! Our kids absolutely loved the addition of the sunroom on the back and having their own space upstairs! The owners were fast to reply if we needed something and you can tell they really value their cabin! One thing to note โ the road to get up to the cabin is very steep and we weren't quite expecting that. Luckily, the cabin is on the flat part of the road! The cabin is perfectly located in Gatlinburg where you are a little out of the hustle & bustle but still very close driving distance! We especially loved Anakeesta, the aquarium, cataract falls hike, chimney picnic area, & El Pasoโs Mexican in Sevierville! Thanks for sharing your cabin with us!

Amazing area
Great cabin. Great spot. Some other cabins on lane were on steep sites. Comfy sofa and chairs. Quiet except for one morning when a group of young "adults" across the lane were leaving. They were swearing, smoking pot, and loud. Once they left all was peaceful and quiet. Cabin was roomy for two. Great second bedroom upstairs with bath, shuffleboard and arcade type game. Had been warned about bear activity but only saw one in resort area. We live in Connecticut and see them more frequently here. Smokey Mountain national park offers incredible views! I would recommend this cabin highly. Be sure you pack what you need. Towels, sheets and toilet paper were there but you need just about everything else if you're staying more than a few days.
The cabin was great for our family vacation. Would recommend for a small family. Very cozy and clean. Everything there actually worked compared to others we have stayed at. Video games and the shuffle board game was fun with the boys. Outside deck was nice, and saw 5 bears at the end of the road about 40 yards away. Very quiet. Great location for attractions, eating and shopping. Pizza places are a little expensive. Solorzano's Pizzeria & Bistro Gatlinburg was really good and offer 20% for military. Left at first because no one was there, but ordered anyways. Glad we did. Log Cabin Pancake House was a great breakfast place. And then me and the wife went to Smokey Mountain Brewery in Pigeon Forge was a great place for a couple of drinks. And their Kaluha Chocolate Chip Cheesecake was awesome. We didnt get a chance to go, but was told by many that Cades Cove is a really great place for a scenic drive and historical things to see. And the management was quick to answer anything. Would highly recommend. The short road to go up is steep, but the 2 parking spots in front of the cabin are flat with no issues.
