This property is admittedly a bit pricey, but it is SO WORTH IT. We loved the beauty of the property, the extra lux number bed and fancy bathroom in the master suite. We loved the natural stone everywhere that mirrored the outdoors, and the constant sound of water coming from the stream outside. This house is beautifully decorated and designed, complete with a large stained glass waterfall as you come down the stairs. Truly a special, place with natural beauty and a decor that mirrors and enhances the outside.

Relaxing Creek Experience

We could not be happier with our stay. If you’re looking for a remote feeling while being close to several towns and restaurants this is the perfect place. The cottage was immaculate and the sound of the rushing water from the creek is still in our minds. We will definitely be returning next year!

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.

We're so glad you found us, the Retreat does have a special "nestled in feel" with private bedrooms for everyone to take some private time as wanted. We love sitting on the deck feeling perched in the trees and enjoying the fire pit down below. Please come and stay for your antiquing travels anytime!

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.

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!

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

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!

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.
