You Will Not Want To Leave!
Firefly Falls is simply wonderful!The Retreat is so spacious, beautifully decorated and filled with so many amenities-everything is very thoughtful and made us feel completely at home! The setting, property and especially the sound of the creek will have you relaxed in no time! Only about 17mins from Colgate University and close to so many restaurants and sights. We cannot wait to return! Robin and Keith thank you for being so helpful and for sharing your beautiful home!

Perfect restful retreat
This property was exactly as represented on the website. The house was welcoming and homey and had everything you could need. The host has literally thought of everything. Two things I wish I had paid more attention to where that there was no bathroom on the fitst floor, a slight concern for my older mother and even though she did have to go upstairs to go to bed I wish she hasn't had to go upstairs every time she needed to use the restroom. Also only 2 of the 3 bedrooms had an airconditioner unit in the window. Although it was an extremely hot weekend the house is fairly well shaded and we ended up giving my mom who is always cold the room without ac and she was fine. But overall we had a great stay.

Simply Awesome Experience at the Waterfall
This house was wonderful. You can hear the waterfall from the house, and it provided a very appreciated soothing ambience. We were in the area for a destination wedding. I was so glad that we choice this option instead of the Casino hotels where others in the wedding party stayed. The owners were wonderful. I had a small panic when we first got to the house, and I lost Cell Phone coverage ... but once I connected to the included WiFi it kept me connected across the property. Lots of games, cable TV and a great kitchen as well. I highly recommend this location for those that love the outdoors and want to have a restful stay.

Fantastic Location
Great house in a fantastic location. Everything was spotless and new. We loved listening to the sound of the waterfall in the evenings. Very relaxing. I would highly recommend this property. No need to contact the hosts during our visit as everything was so well organized and easy - but I am sure they are wonderful.

Beautiful Retreat from the Bustle of Life
We stayed four nights at Firefly Falls Retreat. During the day we attended the Madison-Bouckville Antique Show which was a great deal of walking, so coming home to the sound of the water on the rocks and the nice cool shaded home was wonderful.

A little slice of heaven
This was our second stay at Firefly! It’s our absolute favorite! We love being nestled in peace and surrounded by nature! Our two boys play travel baseball, travel soccer, and flag football. Needless to say, we had a very busy spring! Our takeaway from Firefly is that it gave us time to unplug and reconnect as a family!

Beautiful!
Beautiful place and surroundings! A nice place to unwind before/after the wedding/reception we went to. Would love to stay here again! Just an fyi, we have T-Mobile and our reception was sketchy at best. We couldn't even text. However, no big deal! Once we figured out the gas fireplace inside (thanks for the email response!) we loved it with the cool, wet weather! I also loved knitting in the chair between the big window and fireplace! Very relaxing.

Stay at Firefly Falls retreat
A well equipped 3 bedroom home in a beautiful location. Spacious deck overlooking Oneida Creek with waterfalls in the background. Lovely landscaping with mature plantings. In a somewhat remote location so must really pay attention when returning at night to find the entrance. Would recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful lovely place

Just What We Needed
For once the view and property were better than the pictures! A beautiful retreat in a fairytale forest with an enchanted stream just outside your windows. The musical flow of the water was a perfect lullaby at night. The retreat is perfectly designed for aesthetics, functionality and beauty. Every inch of space is well designed and utilized that creates the feeling of home and comfort that prevails throughout. By the end of our weekend, the stress was gone and we felt rested and ready to take on Monday's challenges.

The Perfect Getaway
The 'Retreat at Firefly Falls' was perfect for my family and me. We attended the 2022 Baseball Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony weekend and wanted a property that was affordable but was also an easy drive away from the 'hustle and bustle' of Cooperstown. The Retreat at Firefly Falls delivered on both counts and then more. This property is situated in the rolling hills of Madison County with trees and streams/waterfalls all around. The actual building is nestled into the forest and it is perfectly appointed. We did not want for anything while staying there. For us, this was the 'perfect' property for my family. In addition to this, Robin H was the perfect host; always prompt and accommodating in responding to any requests and/or questions I had in the lead-up to our stay and during our stay. I would definitely recommend this VRBO rental to anyone wanting peace and solitude while still being close enough to the area's many attractions. Craig B (from Newmarket, ON)
