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. ##### David S.

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. ##### Jennifer H. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elaine C.

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. ##### B W. Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen N.

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. ##### Karen N. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Mary H. Jul 13, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy If you are looking for a quiet house in the woods, this place is for you! The common spaces were roomy and adequate for 4 adults. Although there are sleeping arrangements for 10, I think the main space would be crowded with this many people. I had envisioned enjoying the patio but was not able to do so. I forgot that being in the woods bugs. Especially with all the rain received in the area just prior to our arrival. The window AC units in the upstairs bedrooms provided good sleeping temperatures but the main level could be a bit on the warm side. We visited the last week of June. Having a full size laundry was great and saved us from running out of clothes!I was slightly disappointed in the cleanliness of the house. The front of the refrigerator and toaster oven really need to be wiped down as did the inside of the window sills throughout the house. The owner did share that power was out for a few days until the day of our arrival due to a recent storm; maybe they did not have enough time to clean as thoroughly.... Also, the kitchen as well as the bathrooms did not have much space for our own personal items - every drawer was full as were all the shelves. All in all, this was a good rental for our group. ##### Mary H. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Craig B., Newmarket Jul 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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) ##### Craig B.
