Family Friendly 2BR! HotTub~Arcade~Shuffleboard~Grill~Great Reviews+Updated! 🐻

𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀 & 𝗠𝗼𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗻 is a comfortable, affordable, and updated 2 bedroom suite log cabin - a family friendly spot with flat parking and all the comforts of home. The cabin is close enough to everything the area has to offer, but you will feel like you are miles away!

Fireflies & Moonshine Cabin has great reviews and we are always doing updates. The cabin has 2 gas fireplaces (open Oct-Apr depending on outdoor temps) and an electric fireplace above the soaker in the 1st floor suite! We are in a neighborhood style resort (not secluded) only 3 miles from downtown Gatlinburg, sleeps up to 6 total (no more than 5 adults) comfortably with easy parking for 2 cars and a short walk to the swimming pool (open May-Sept). The kitchen is stocked with all the cookware and dishes you need for your stay, and there’s a natural gas grill on the deck. Each bedroom suite has its own Smart TV, and there's plenty of space to relax. Enjoy Mt. LeConte views from the front porch, make family memories with evening shuffleboard competitions and board games, savor morning coffee, or melt into quiet moments in the unique sunroom.

The cabin is about 10 minutes to some great hiking spots at the Greenbrier section of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, less than a mile from Rocky Top Sports World, or a quick drive into Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge for tons of family fun!

Great place to stay!

This is a great place to stay it is far enough away from the downtown crowds but not too far to drive everywhere. Grocery store and gas station nearby for anything you may need.

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.

After Christmas getaway

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.

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.

Special vacation with our Grandson

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!

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.

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!

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 Cabin for family

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.

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 – 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 Paso’s Mexican in Sevierville! Thanks for sharing your cabin with us!

About the host

Hosted by April and Dave

Host profile image
Peaks & Palms Vacation Rentals is small and family owned & operated. We are hands-on owners and bring a sensible guest-minded approach to rates, updates, amenities, and style.
We have 3 log cabins in Gatlinburg, TN, the gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains; and a condo just steps away from the beach in Siesta Key!

We are frequent visitors to the Smokies and love all that is has to offer and are always ready to head back whether for hiking, viewing wildlife, taking our kids for walks in nearby creeks, go-carting, or just driving through the beautiful Smoky Mountain National Park to enjoy the scenery.

Why they chose this property

This is our 2nd of 3 cabins in the same resort. It was previously owned by a couple as a second home. This cabin is one of the best maintained we've ever seen and has flat parking! The cabin is in a perfect location to enjoy the many activities available in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area. It is quiet and relaxing and feels like you are miles from hustle and bustle, yet it is minutes from everything.

What makes this property unique

We love this cabin and it shows! You won't find a 2 bedroom cabin with the extra space this one has, or one in better condition anywhere in the area. We are constantly working to improve our guest's experience whether it is an equipped kitchen, fresh stain, tasteful décor, or simply fixing or replacing that thing that is broken to ensure you have a great time! It is located near the Arts & Crafts Community where you can spend hours (or maybe days) viewing and buying things from local craftspeople. We are about a mile to Rocky Top Sports World. You can sit on the front porch or the back sun room sipping coffee while you plan your day and enjoy the beauty of our cabin's location.
This cabin has many updates including granite countertops and updated appliances in the kitchen, all new flooring, and remodel of both 1st & 2nd floor bathrooms, along with with fireplace and soaker in the 1st floor bedroom!
