Our family of four absolutely loved our stay at Lightning Bug Lodge! The cabin was very clean, nicely decorated, well appointed and in a great location to experience all the things the Smoky Mountains have to offer. We packed a good mix of activities into our week including downtown Gatlinburg, dining at Ole Red, Anakeesta, Dollywood, Clingman's Dome, Cades Cove, Tuckaleechee Caverns, Carver's Apple Orchard, whitewater rafting on the Pigeon River with Raft Outdoor Adventures, hiking some trails, visiting artisan shops, eating in some small local cafes and restaurants like Janice's Diner and The Black Bear Cafe, and getting ice cream at Mad Dog's Creamery & Donuts as well as enjoying the campfire roasting hotdogs and marshmallows for smores and soaking in the hot tub while enjoying the view and listening to the cicadas. Our favorite activities were hiking, whitewater rafting and relaxing at the cabin and we hope to return soon just to do more of those three things. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful mountain cabin with us!
