I wish I could give The Owl and Firefly ten stars instead of 5. It's truly such a special vacation place that’s bound to bring joy to any family who comes here! Incredibly beautiful and so carefully planned and equipped, with great attention and much generosity given to every single detail, it made us feel so comfortable and truly cared for in a way I've never felt before in a vacation rental. The photos are very accurate but everything is even better when you can stand in the middle of the house and see all the trees surrounding you inside it's glowing wood walls. There are so many wonderful cozy spaces to be together and have fun, or good conversations, or for the kids to want to play in by themselves - there's a great mural on a real climbing wall, a standing swing and a tent in one corner downstairs that made our 3 and 6 year olds blissfully happy for hours; many beautiful toys and games for all ages; a sweet porch with a chair swing we had to set a timer for because it was everyone's favorite. And so much more - I'm sure any family will truly enjoy discovering all the great things about this place by yourselves, as we did on a rainy weekend nestled into this inspiring and cozy big cabin in the woods.

Thank you so much for this incredibly kind and heartfelt review. Reading your words truly means the world to us. We poured so much love, care, and intention into creating The Owl and Firefly, and knowing that your family felt comfortable, cared for, and able to fully relax together is exactly what we hoped for when designing the space. It makes us especially happy to hear that the kids enjoyed the climbing wall, swing, tent, toys, and cozy little corners throughout the house! Those moments of joy and imagination are such a big part of what we wanted families to experience here. Thank you again for choosing to spend your family getaway with us and for taking the time to share such thoughtful details about your stay. Guests like your family are what make hosting so rewarding. We would absolutely love to welcome you back to the woods anytime!
