Wears Valley Mountain Retreat with Wellness Room & Views~up to 2 Dogs ok w/fee

Welcome to Firefly — a spacious Wears Valley retreat where everyone in your group can vacation their own way.

Tucked into peaceful Wears Cove, Firefly offers 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, Cove Mountain views, a dedicated Wellness Room, a lower-level game room, mountain-view firepit, seasonal community pool access, and easy paved-road access.

Some guests want to hike all day. Some want Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, Gatlinburg, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Some want coffee and a book on the porch. Others need a little movement and quiet time to reset.

At Firefly, there's room for all of it.

THE SPACE

Firefly offers approximately 2,500 square feet of living space on a spacious 1-acre property.

The home has been refreshed in 2026 in a warm modern farmhouse / elevated Americana style designed to feel comfortable, not kitschy.

Additional Sleeping

Each of the three bedrooms has its own hotel-style twin rollaway bed.

The rollaways have a 250-lb maximum weight capacity and are most comfortable for children and preteens rather than adults. They are a convenient option for families who need additional sleeping flexibility.

Each bedroom also includes a comfortable memory-foam mattress, protective mattress covers, multiple pillow options, Roku smart TV, and nightstands with power and USB charging.

Maximum occupancy is 9 guests at any time, including infants and children.

OUTDOOR SPACE

The front porch is one of Firefly's favorite gathering places, with rocking chairs and seating overlooking Cove Mountain and the valley.

The mountain-view firepit offers Adirondack seating for evenings around the fire and stargazing.

The covered rear porch has a gas BBQ grill located just outside the kitchen.

The property includes approximately one acre with a large open yard where kids can play and everyone can enjoy some fresh mountain air.

Please note: Firepit use may be restricted during local burn bans. Guests are responsible for observing current restrictions.

COMMUNITY POOL & FISHING POND

Guests receive complimentary seasonal access to the community pool and café at Honeysuckle Meadows, along with the catch-and-release fishing pond.

These amenities are less than a mile from Firefly and are generally open May 1 through September 30, weather permitting.

Pool towels are provided in the hall closet at Firefly, please do not leave them at the pool.

EASY ACCESS & PARKING

One of Firefly's biggest advantages is the easy approach.

The property is reached by paved roads and a paved driveway, without the steep, narrow mountain roads that can make some Smoky Mountain cabins intimidating.

There are two parking areas:

Upper parking area near the rear entrance
Large secondary parking area near the lower-level game room

Self check-in is provided with a unique smart-lock code.

Traveling with a vehicle trailer Please message us before booking so we can discuss parking options if your trailer is more than 18'. Driveway cannot accommodate campers or RVs due to slope.

WHY FIREFLY

Firefly is designed for groups who don't all vacation the same way.

The adventurer can hike the Smokies. Kids and teens can take over the game room. The reader can find a quiet corner. The wellness-minded guest can stretch, practice yoga, or work out. The shopper can head to Pigeon Forge. The dog can come along. And everyone can meet back on the porch or around the firepit at the end of the day.

Explore the Smokies. Play downstairs. Recharge in the Wellness Room. Gather around the table. Watch the mountains from the porch. Then end the day around the fire.

Come for the mountains. Stay for the memories.
