Everything was perfect! All of the little touches make it feel like home as soon as you walk in. The porch is amazing and my go-to spot to relax. We enjoyed fishing on the new dock and watching the baby deer in the yard. This was our 2nd time staying here and we can't wait to come back again!

Serenity

Perfect place to get away for my birthday. Spent most of the time on the river but the cabin was a perfect place to relax after a day of adventuring. Loved the windows that gave a beautiful view of the river and having kayaks provided for river use was the icing on the cake! 10/10 would stay here again!

River Hiatus

Awesome place to just get away to . . . only negative is the steep hill to climb and that the dock didn't have a ladder. Other than that nothing but praise for cleanliness and location. Owners were super . . . would recommend to my family and friends.

Totally Relaxing

The property was excellent. It meet every one of our expectations. In the morning the sounds of the birds woke us up, and at night the fireflies said good night. The property is 1/2 way from Philadelphia to where my children live between Nashville, Savannah, and Chattanooga. Can’t wait to come back.

Beautiful property, comfortable and well appointed cabin right on the New river. Fishing, kayaks, wonderful porches for sipping coffee while the birds serenade you. Wonderful jetted tub, fire pit, and grill make it easy to relax at this fabulous cabin. Very responsive hosts make sure you have everything you need for a special getaway.

Great place to run

My wife and I were celebrating 31 years of marriage. The cabin was very nice and very thoughtfully stocked with all the amenities you might need. We brought our Labrador with us. There was lots of space for him to run. The view was outstanding. It was very private and relaxing. We had a great time and we would definitely recommend the cabin to friends Joe & Laure

Just a really great property!

I had a 2 night stay with my dog at this property. I needed an opportunity to kind of disconnect and recharge. The property is so well maintained. I had a special request that the owners were happy to accommodate. I would absolutely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Kathie Conaway

Host profile image
We retired to the New River Valley in 2008 having lived in the southern portion of New Jersey. Kathie was an elementary school principal and Bill ran a small contracting business.

Why they chose this property

Bill and his father built the cabin in 2009. The cabin was designed and furnished with our future guests in mind. Our aim has always been to make our guests' stay relaxing. We make every effort to make Fireflies Cabin your home away from home.

What makes this property unique

The cabin has been designed and located on the property in such a way that you feel like you are far 'away from it all' while being only 5 miles from Interstate 81 and 800 feet off of route 100 (Wysor Highway).Our very own floating dock sits on the river in front of the cabin. It is great for fishing and swimming.
