Fire Fly in'

01/12/2026

Would you prefer snow or no snow? 2 weeks ago we were dreaming about snow. This morning we got flurries. Tonight we got reminded of what it looked like one year ago. We’re supposed to get snow later this week and I’m here for it!! Snow baby snow!!!!!

Happy New Years Eve!

I can’t properly describe how amazing the food is here. Absolutely phenomenal!! 🤌

If you visit, we highly recommend making this one of your stops! 😋🤤

Side note: the check-in says “Circle H Chophouse”, but they recently rebranded (same owner/chef) to The Branded Cattle Steakhouse.

A peaceful winter moment at Fire Fly in’ 🤍

While snow is somewhat rare here in the mountains around Bryson City, we couldn’t help but reminisce about this snowy day back in January.

Whether it’s crisp winter air, spring blooms, summer greenery, or fall color - Fire Fly in’ is always a place to slow down.

✨ Direct booking available - message us to skip platform fees! ✨

We absolutely LOVE this restaurant. Look for my Google review for more details, but The Branded Cattle Steakhouse has the BEST steaks around. Looks like you can get a free “show” with dinner if you catch them at the right time!!

Two of North Carolina's best summer activities crossing paths. A rafting excursion down the Nantahala River floats right by the iconic Great Smoky Mountains Railroad heading the opposite direction in the Nantahala Gorge. Floating or riding, you can't go wrong with either choice in this beautiful area.
