Amazing waterfall retreat
I surpised my husband with this trip. He loves being by water and waterfalls and this place did not disappoint. Listening to that water is so great, especially at night looking up at the stars. We had a great trip and Robin was very responsive with any questions. Would stay here again for sure.

Very cozy getaway
We loved our stay, it's so beautiful and cozy. The perfect getaway from the city, the waterfall right outside was just the best thing ever. We only had concern about 2 things: the deck, it's very old and not maintained it didn't feel completely safe. The shower head is very low pressure, it's basically a mist and made it difficult to shower. The host is very responsive we had an issue that they resolved as soon as possible.

Beautiful riverside cabin
This location combined with the Retreat next door is an amazing place for a group! While there are no bedrooms pre saw in the cottage, the loft has 1 full queen/ on bedposts, and 3 queen on floor in second peak (peak is short for 6’ tall adults & window doesn’t open) the loft has a slider to a small deck - super cute! And a half bath - convenient for mid night use 👍. The rest of the cottage is beautiful- lots of room and large table, kitchen is nicely packed with whatever you need. The shower head needs to be updated but the bathroom is huge on main level - whirlpool tub inside (we thought there was a hot tub, but no). The decking is a little soft, but large and lets you feel like you’re right in the river. A great location - easy drive to everything. Oh and there is a little fairy door by the kitchen - adorable! If we ever go back to this location we will for sure try to rent again here!

Located in a very nice and serine location. Although off the beaten track and can be very private, there are other cabins very close by. Overall we had a great time in a fantastic location with a very responsive host. Thanks so much, Robin, for sharing your cain with us.

A Perfect Place
Everyone says the pictures don't do this place justice...they don't! It's a stunning, comfortable and exceptional retreat situated near one of the most beautiful pieces of land I've seen. You can feel the love Robin and her family have for the nature that surrounds in the little touches throughout the house, both in being eco friendly but also in the decor. My two sisters and I have never been happier together in this slice of paradise.

Beautiful property! However….
We could not wait for our trip to the Firefly cottage. If it was anything like the photos on Vrbo, it was sure to be a delightful. And it was just as pictured. The great room had a wall of windows looking out to the creek and waterfall. The bed was comfy (once we figured out that it was a sleep number). The sheets and towels were all soft and the pillows were terrific. However, we began to notice some small things that needed attention. There were some loose boards on the porch, and two lounge chairs were threadbare and needed replacing. The window sills were dirty and had dead bugs on them when you opened the windows. We found expired and old products throughout the house. The place needs a good old fashioned deep cleaning. Robin failed to let the guests arriving to the main house know that we were staying in the cottage. They were very nice, but they said that Robin told them that they could use the porch by the cottage because no one was staying there. The woman read Robin’s note to us. Robin did apologize. But it got really weird when one of the bathrooms ran out of toilet paper and I asked Robin if I missed it somehow. Instead of assuming that I wouldn’t have asked if we had enough, I was “schooled” on how I was wrong and people steal it and her family of five go through one roll in two weeks. I don’t recall ever having to defend our bathroom needs in any establishment. It was weird and awkward and unnecessary. if you stay, bring your own soap and toilet paper.

3rd Visit
This is such a relaxing place that this is our 3rd time coming. Fun Summer Tidbit - bring beach chairs and they stay perfectly on the flat rocks in the creek allowing the very cold but refreshing water cool off your feet while you read and relax. Heavenly

Waterfall weekend
Location of this cottage is amazing! The pictures of the waterfall do not capture how beautiful this place is. We loved wading and hiking up and down the creek. This cottage is very close to quite a few great NY State parks. House just as described in the listing, everything in good working order. Good information provided for checking in/out. We had a great time here. Easily one of the best places we have stayed with the kids.

Beautiful location
The property and location were amazing and as described. Nine inches of snow hit the day before and the long drive/entryway was plowed which was great. A couple of minor issues were quickly addressed. Would definitely return if in the area again. The waterfall runs right along the expansive deck.

Paradise Found!
This cottage FAR exceeded our expectations. It sits directly on the Falls with gorgeous views from every room, including from the double jacuzzi tub, which was amazing. We were so impressed with how generous the hosts are, making sure we had everything imaginable for a relaxing stay, from bathroom products to snacks and beverages in the kitchen. The cottage was beautifully decorated for the holidays, making our New Year's Eve stay feel very festive. The huge stone fireplace ads so much to the overall ambiance. The Sleep Number bed in the loft, overlooking the Falls was so comfortable with the sound of the river rocking you to sleep all night. We were SO relaxed and well rested! There are many restaurants, breweries, wineries and distilleries in the area, with live music, especially in the warmer seasons. We're so excited to return and really get to know the area better.

We love Firefly!
This is our second stay at Firefly. It’s one of the prettiest homes we’ve stayed in anywhere. With a daughter at Colgate it’s a perfect getaway for her from the bustle of campus. Its natural beauty and warmth and comfort is incomparable. Robin is the perfect hostess leaving a very well appointed kitchen, goodies (like Halloween candy at Halloween) and festive tasteful seasonal touches. We hope to come back every year to this beautiful place.

Serene getaway
Spectacular location! Sit on the deck and enjoy personal waterfall. With the landscape, shallow water area available to splash. Lovely home. Quick replies to inquiries by owner Robin. Thermostat was not working however Robin filled us in to use fireplace as the nights were chilly. Only negatives were kitchen sink stuck on spray mode and shower head needs to be updated. I can’t wait til next visit! Home is well equipped with all you need. Barter system of take 1/leave 1 is a great idea for drinks and snacks too!
