Firefly is an idyllic mountain cottage

We love Firefly! It is truly magical and made the perfect destination for our Christmas getaway! We always try to stay in Firefly, or the other property owned by Rich and Amy called 76 Campfire Retreat. They are the best hosts, and their properties are perfectly appointed with the best kitchen supplies and comfortable bedding. Thanks for yet another wonderful stay!

Beautiful house in a great location.

Lovely home in the beautiful Chinquapin community near Cashiers. House is walkable to trails, the Chinquapin Outpost/amenity area, and short drive to restaurants and shops of Sapphire, Cashiers and Highlands. House is comfortable with beautiful porches, comfortable beds and a nice bathtub.

Beautiful Home in a Beautiful Area!

Chinquapin is a beautiful area! There is so much to do in a peaceful setting. This home is convenient to all of the amenities, including mini golf, golf range, trails, and the list goes on. It was well equipped with all of the necessities and had very comfortable accommodations. The owners were very hospitable and their pride in ownership showed in this home!

Perfect mountain home for a small family getaway

With its fishing, driving range, hiking trails and pickle ball, our family of 3 adores Chinquapin and visits frequently. We love the charming 'Firefly' cabin because it's walkable to all the activities yet still feels private and serene. It's clean and very well equipped. We hope to visit again soon.

Mountain Retreat

Our family had a wonderful time in this modern craftsman cabin. It is the epitome of cozy, efficient and peaceful. We relaxed both in front of the fire and in the very nice 3 season room. Pet friendly was a bonus as we brought our Brittanys. We enjoyed the dog park, driving range and playground as well as a competitive round of putt putt. located in the community. The host was great, always responsive and helpful. We would definitely recommend and visit again.

Beautiful Home!

Things were everything we expected. If your not use to mountain roads be warned it’s very windy to get to but nothing that can’t be handled if you take your time. With that it has beautiful views. We couldn’t ask for anything more! The towns of Cashiers and Highland are very beautiful and loved spending the days shopping.
