Wonderful stay as long as you don't need any sleep
I feel truly bad only giving this place 3 stars as almost the entire experience was amazing! Love the concept & amenities, super clean, so many fire pits so you felt like you were roasting your marshmellows for your complimentary s'mores in your own little world. But given this was a sleeping accommodation and we were not able to sleep any, I just cannot rate it at 5 stars. For the most part, everyone at the campground got the memo that this is a peaceful, connecting with nature experience....except for the tent of people right beside us and their friends who were staying two tents down from us. The people stayed out on their deck beside us talking in full volume voices until almost daylight and the friends walked between the two tents, up and down the gravel paths (crunch, crunch, CRUNCH) so many times that I wouldn't be surprised if Firelight had to dump more gravel in the ruts of the paths after their stay. My husband and I were so sleep deprived by the next morning that when we checked out, we just drove home and cancelled the plans we had made for that day (very disappointing as that was the whole reason we were in the area looking for accommodations to begin with). We have stayed at similar "glamping" experiences previously and those organizations maintained the quiet hours much more successfully than Firelight (as we never heard anyone go to the tent and ask them to quiet down). Such a wonderful experience that turned very disapointing. :(

Found out glamping isn't really my style and the weather (with heat warning) didn't help but property itself is fine. Only thing was that the tent got too hot during the day. More uncomfortable than outside. Would consider staying again in the fall when weather's cooler.

A little too wild and not worth the money
I wouldn’t recommend unless you really like glamping. I got one hour of sleep because every hour you could hear coyotes howling in the distance. You could hear animals all night going by your tent, but at one point there was something larger on my back patio and the zipper of the tent was jaggling. Another time something lunged at my dog from a bush twice scaring the hell out of both of us. It was the worst sleep of my night and set the whole trip into a bad descent. I would skip it unless you really love this type of experience. The dog fee has also increased and not been updated on here.

We enjoyed our time and had an enjoyable experience. The breakfast was amazing. We have stayed with other similar glamping companies such as under canvas - and unfortunately because this is priced so similarly you inadvertently compare the two - and for value for money and level of service I would unfortunately have to go with under canvas.

Beautiful tents and bedding. The bathrooms and showers were clean bright and nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The lobby tent has free water coffee and tea. It also has a bar, board games and the campfires outside. There were enough that we have our own fire to enjoy and cook our smores. Took the trail to buttermilk falls park. We started late so didn’t make it to the main falls but it was a beautiful hike in the woods on good paths- did have some steep sections and stairs in the park. We enjoyed our stay.

Special stay close to Ithaca
What a find! Firelight Camps was such a treat. Friendly staff, clean and comfortable accommodations, and fun amenities (complimentary s'mores, coffe & tea, board games, and, of course, on-going camp fires). We enjoyed the full service bar in the evening and the breakfast, featuring local goods, in the morning. Highly recommend!

The property was a great glamping situation. The main “lobby” tent had power and charging stations. The complimentary breakfast had a good selection for there being no kitchen. The s’mores and hotdog to roast on the firepit was very fun! Love that there’s a bar. Great for friend groups, couples, and families. For the further tents I wish there was some sort of outhouse closer to be able to use the bathroom in the middle of the night.

A very unique experience! The location allows walking opportunities to good food at the restaurant on the grounds and an upscale Spa. All areas of the grounds and facilities where clean and well kept. Signs of LGBTQ acceptance with safe place physical signage and unisex bathroom option. Every part of this trip was relaxing and enjoyable! Check in before dark or bring a lantern. Grounds are dark at times in between motion sensor path lights. Once you’ve been to your room you will have a portable lantern to use
