Additional notes:
***It's very important that guests are equipped with an AWD or 4WD vehicle during winter months or inclement weather. The road leading to the home is gravel and steep.

There is parking space for up to 3 vehicles.

- All BRMR homes offer well stocked kitchens with all utensils needed to cook meals. There is also a "starter set" of paper products at the house: a roll of toilet paper per bath, several garbage bags, a small vial of dishwashing liquid, a few tablets of dishwasher detergent, some laundry pods, a roll of paper towels, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and some makeup remover cloths. There are enough of these items for one night, or maybe two. We do not provide hair dryers. Towels and linens will be provided.

Firefly Cabin

Property was absolutely beautiful, got over a foot of snow which is expected in the mountains. We had 2 4wd trucks and made it in and out pretty easily.

Wonderful Visit

We thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay at Firefly Cabin. It's a lovely cabin, with ample room for our group of four adults. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking meals - there was both a Keurig and a drip coffeemaker which was nice. If you were a larger group staying here, a little more silverware would be helpful. The long range view out the great room window is beautiful. Nice sized master - the bed a tad soft, but that's a matter of individual preference. We would most definitely like to stay here again!

Excellent property!

Excellent property for our group of five, which included three teenagers and two dogs. We hiked at nearby grandfather mountain on the profile trail. We enjoyed the hot tub every evening! The property was very clean and well appointed. The property manager was available for questions at check-in and prior to check-in. It was a great experience.

Great time in the mountains

We enjoyed our stay for skiing and snow tubing. The location was perfect for our daily trip to Sugar mountain. The final driveway is pretty steep though and our minivan could not get up the hill after a snow. Definitely heed the warning about 4 wheel drive!

Great little getaway

Everything was clean, and well functioning. Excellent experience, and when we had one issue with the keypad code it was resolved very quickly. 10 out of 10 would recommend, and would stay here again. THE VIEW!!! **Quick note: in the snow, park, your vehicle at the top of the driveway. Caused a little bit of an adventure for us. :)

Overall it was a good stay! Beautiful view.

Everything was good. Only thing is that we got stuck in the cabin after it snowed and freezed the drive way. Me and our friends had all wheel drive vehicles and still couldn't leave. That was on Wednesday. The following day still couldn't get out, so i called the rental place and let them know and i never heard back. My husband put together some ideas and finally got us unstuck. Overall was fine. But make sure you bring snow chains if you stay at this cabin. Definitely need to be put in the description, because all wheel drive and 4wd vehicles wont be able to get out without snow chains.

Peaceful

This location is very peaceful & comfortable. Although the road to get here is very windy, the destination is worth it. Unfortunately, we didn't get to take advantage of the outdoor area because of the weather, we did enjoy views from the large picture windows. Would definitely stay here again!

FANTASTIC MOUNTAIN VIEWS

This property was exactly what we envisioned for a mountain retreat and ski trip. The cabin vibe was perfect with the cabin decor and the views of the mountains were amazing. The beds and pillows were comfortable with plenty of space for a family of five (and one fur baby). The living room and eating area had plenty of room for all of us. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals between activities. The cabin was close to all the winter activities planned (skiing, tubing, ice skating, etc...). The Food Lion grocery store was close to the cabin, so we didn't have to pack a lot of food and just picked up what we needed on our way to the cabin. The driveway to the cabin was indeed steep so make sure you have 4WD. However, this was outlined in the property description and was reflective of most of the cabins in the area. If you want to be in the mountains and a short drive from skiing, you have to be prepared to drive in the mountains. We loved the experience and our family will definitely be coming back! We had a blast!

Mountain getaway.

Loved the cabin, well stocked kitchen, very clean, nice bathrooms. The mattresses were a little too soft and the propane tank for the fireplace ran out of gas. We were very disappointed that we couldn't have a fire the last night we stayed. Would stay here again and would recommend it.
