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 patio 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. :)

Thank you Matt & Laura! Great house & location. Awesome view! This trip was a few old friends catching up for a few days. We rented more house than we needed in order to get the amenities we desired. Firefly Haus delivered it all. Enjoyed cooking meals together in the beautiful & excellently stocked kitchen. Stunning views from every room. Very unique experience to start a fire in the fire pit, then sit in the hot tub & watch it burn with that beautiful mountain view in the background. This place is true luxury in every space at a reasonable price. Hope to be back soon.

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.

Perfect House in the Mountains

We selected this house for a bachelorette party and it could not have been more prefect. The house is just as beautiful as the surrounding mountains. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was fully stocked, plenty of parking, I could go on and on. This was such a fun weekend!

Vacation with our Moms

Firefly Haus was perfect for our elderly Moms. They each had their own bedrooms/bathrooms on the main floor. The home was beautiful and clean. Even tho it rained, we could see the mountains outside the huge windows. I will recommend this home to anyone visiting Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.

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!!

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!

Words will not suffice

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!!!

Best vacation ever!

Gatlinburg is such a great place but the firefly haus was the cherry on top! This home is the most well thought out house we’ve stayed in yet! Every aspect was well thought from the private balcony off each room, to the amazing bathrooms, the fun downstairs room, and the incredible views. It truly made our experience 10/10! With a large party it was able to fit us all with ease and made so many amazing memories! We look forward to coming back and staying in the Firefly Haus again in the future! 10/10 recommend!

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!

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!

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. 💗
