As our car turned the corner to make the uphill climb to the Firefly Chalet, we witnessed our first bear sighting that included three baby bears and their mother. Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains are known for its black bears and we couldn’t believe our luck seeing these little cuties so early in our vacation.
Located in the Village of Cobbly Nob, the Firefly Chalet was our Gatlinburg property for our week’s vacation and it was absolutely perfect. The property includes a golf course, three swimming pools and a tennis court for recreation. A chalet-style home with three rooms, the Firefly was loaded with fabulous amenities including a hot tub, free WiFi, a pool table and spectacular views of the Great Smoky Mountains.
We booked the property through the Vacation Rentals By Owner website. There is also a toll-free number to discuss the reservation with an agent which is 888 829 7076. The 1,675 square foot chalet sleeps six with three bedrooms and attached baths.
The living room has floor to ceiling windows with a phenomenal view of the Smokies. There is access to the outdoor balcony which was a great place for us to enjoy our morning coffee and to relax under a passing thunderstorm. The central feature of the main living space is the beautiful stone, wood burning fireplace.
The kitchen was the perfect size, fully equipped with lots of storage space. There was a breakfast table and additional bar stools for seating. We used the outdoor charcoal grill to make hamburgers one night and enjoyed an evening of relaxing on the deck.
The chalet sleeps six with a sleeper sofa for an additional guest or two. The master bedroom features a king-sized bed, private bath and a 24” television with a DVD and VCR player. Located on the main level is another king sized bed, 24” television with a DVD and VCR player. On the lower level where the washer and dryer are located is another guest bedroom with a queen sized bed, 27” television with a DVD and VCR player.
Firefly is conveniently located 2.6 miles to downtown Gatlinburg and 11 miles from Dollywood and Pigeon Forge. The property is located on Highway 321 North in Gatlinburg. For more information, visit the VRBO website to book your holiday at this spectacular chalet.
