Vacay To The Smokies would love to host you at the Firefly Bungalow.
Here at Firefly Bungalow #2, the music of crickets, peepers, and whippoorwills will lull you to sleep. The faint fragrance of mountain magnolia will greet you in springtime. Flashes of fireflies, and rhythms of rain on the metal roof will delight you on summer evenings. Autumn foliage will lure the leaf peepers. Fresh winter snowfall on mountain peaks is breathtaking, and holiday events in the Smokies draw travelers from around the world. Firefly Bungalow #2 is perfect for couples, families, and small groups of friends.
Living Spaces
The living room has accent walls of reclaimed barn wood, a ceiling fan, a sturdy oak futon/sofa-bed, a coffee table, an electric wood stove/fireplace-style heater, and a large wall-mounted flat-screen TV. After a day exploring the mountains, curl up in the evenings and stream your favorite movies or shows. There's also a vintage trunk with a variety of family games.
This one-story bungalow has two AC units for cooling in the summer, and space heaters throughout for heating in winter. It is tranquil in all seasons. The wood, wooden furnishings, and old-time Appalachian decor give this cabin-style home a rustic, Smoky Mountain ambiance.
Kitchen & Dining
The kitchen has solid wood cabinets and natural pinewood trim. Appliances include a four-burner electric range, oven, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, toaster, large double-basin stainless steel sink, and French door fridge/freezer combo.
