Firefly Haus - Hot Tub, Firepit, 10min to Smokies

Walk through the front door and your eyes will be bear hugged by an incredible view of Mt. LeConte. Floor to ceiling windows provide a magnificent view of the Smokies. The great room is framed by a native stone fireplace on one side and a gourmet kitchen with custom cabinetry on the other. The entire haus is luxurious.

The kitchen is well stocked for family meals and includes a double oven, a 5-burner electric stovetop, dishwasher, large farmhouse sink, double-sided fridge and microwave.

A nearly 8' wood dining table seats eight people. The adjacent kitchen bar seats six more which provides ample seating for the family.

An enormous, covered deck off the kitchen provides your family a great spot to socialize and make memories with the beauty of the Smokies around you.

The main level includes two bedrooms with their own bathrooms, each easily accessible without stairs (great for the grandparents!)

Go up the stairs and enter the "treehouse", a bedroom suite with its own bathroom and deck. Try not to argue on who gets this awesome room with an incredible view of the mountains!

Go down the stairs and enter a giant game room filled with eight bunks, a wet bar, pool table, XBox One, arcade machine and TV. Kids get to enjoy their own space and even their own bathroom.

The "bear" bedroom is down here so mama bears can look after their cubs. Like all the bedrooms, this one was designed with love and includes a deck and its own bathroom with a luxurious walk-in shower.

Walk outside the game room and experience a private, Smoky Mountain backyard. A large flagstone courtyard with a smokeless Breeo firepit invites you and the kids to enjoy s'mores and take in a star-filled sky. A large, outdoor, charcoal grill is available in the front yard.

Leave time to take a soak in our 6-person hot tub complete with ambient lighting and plenty of jets - even a lounge chair on one side for full relaxation!

We are grateful for you. Thanks for reading our rambling description. We can bearly believe you did it. :)

Fufilled a much needed getaway

Beautiful property! We packed a lot, but other than the food we brought, everything was there that we needed. The view was as advertised. It was nice waking up with my wife in the treehouse room every morning and having coffee on the deck.

Graduation Getaway

Firefly Haus was the perfect setting for our family to celebrate our son’s graduation! It is an amazing house- beautifully designed and decorated! The views were spectacular and location was secluded, but still close to everything. Matt and Laura were the best hosts, communicating at every step. We had everything we needed.

House was beautiful. In our party we had someone in a wheelchair and two walking with canes and we were able to stay for 3 nights with little to no issues. Fully handicapped bathing would not have been an option, but we knew the house was not ADA compliant when we booked it. Kids LOVED the arcade and the fun bunk beds. The rooms were all nice, and all sleeping areas have access to a porch with a view of Mt.Kuwohi. Fridge in upstairs room was appreciated. The hot tub was nice and clean. Bathroom toiletries came in handy. Snacks were thoughtful. Laundry pods were put to use. Kitchen was well stocked. View was stunning. Lots of good memories were made. Thanks for a great stay Firefly!

Anniversary Trip

We loved the cabin and all of the amenities. It had everything we needed from cooking to entertainment. My only suggestion would be possibly adding a reflective window tint to the windows in the main room. The sun would shine in where the future was and it heated the room up a good bit. Would definitely stay here again!!

Amazing!

We had an amazing stay at the Firefly Haus. The house and views from the house were amazing! We could not have asked for a better family friendly home. The drive to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge were short car rides. My favorite part was being able to sit at the kitchen table and see the beautiful mountain views every day! Communications with Matt and Laura were extremetly efficient and responsive. Will definitely stay again!

The perfect vacation home for exploring Gatlinburg and the Smokies

We had a big ask for our trip to Gatlinburg: a house that would accommodate four families with seven total kids, scenic views, big open spaces for dining and entertaining, and easy access to all the sites in the area. Firefly Haus was that and more, and we even got a bear sighting in the backyard! The house was well furnished, clean, and had absolutely beautiful views of the mountains with decks off the main living space and every bedroom. Host communication was excellent from start to finish. Thank you to our hosts!

Perfect House

I chose this property on its modern looks and layout. It exceeded my expectations! Loaded with amenities. And it was perfect for our family of eight adults and five young children in every respect. Just don’t plan to use the backyard except for sitting by the fire. The bears can appear while you are in the hot tub. Thank you Matt and Laura; you are the greatest hosts!

Perfection

This was the first time we traveled to Gatlinburg and we couldn't have picked a more perfect home to stay in. Matt and Laura thought of everything when they built the Firefly Haus. We had 6 boys ranging in ages 8-15 and they had the time of their life in the game room. Us parents enjoyed our time cooking and just being present in the beauty your home provided. The location was great, not far from downtown Gatlinburg, Ober and Anakeesta. We will definitely be returning. Thank you so much!

Perfect mountain vacation

This property was everything I hoped for when I booked it. Immediately when you walk in you are facing an attractive wall of windows with a great Mountain View. The downstairs area is amazing for kids, 8 total bunk beds, a big TV, an arcade machine, pool table, etc. They also have a separate bedroom and a couple bathrooms down there. All the rest of the house is equally great and very comfortable throughout, and the top floor is amazing with an even better view of the mountains. The wildlife here is amazing! Within an hour of checking in we saw a bear on our driveway, and in the 4 days we stayed we saw more bears everyday multiple times, including two younger ones playing together on our driveway. There were also turkeys, rabbits, etc. The location is excellent. We went to Anakeesta one day and it took us 11 minutes to get from the front door to the parking lot. You can also be at the entrance to the National Park and Visitors Center in about 8-10 minutes too. It is perfectly situated between Gatlinburg and the National Park. The owners/managers are very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. I felt like they were always sending helpful tips and information via email, but never overwhelmed us. This is a great place. Highly recommend, and will definitely be back!

Firefly Haus is incomparable to any vacation home I’ve stayed in. It’s the most thoughtfully setup house I’ve been in. Very clean, well stocked and close to downtown. The views of the mountains is breathtaking!! Not close to any neighbors, so peaceful. I would recommend you visit the Smokies just so you can stay at Firefly Haus!!! If I could give it a 10 on 5 rating I would!!!

Incredible!

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Firefly Haus over Thanksgiving break. The attention to detail and personal touches made our stay extra special. Having coffee on one of the many decks overlooking the mountains was the perfect start to each day! Our boys were thrilled with the bunk/game room! I’ve been coming to the Smokey’s since the late 80’s and Firefly Haus is definitely at the top of the list of places I’ve stayed. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home. 💗
