Quaint and quiet property. Convenient to Staunton, yet away from the traffic. Perfect spot from which to get to downtown for shopping, dining, etc., and also easy access to the interstate. Highly recommend.

Quaint rural stay!

This was just a great place to stay on our trip to Virginia! We were here to race Grindstone 100k and this stay offered everything we needed, including the cutest pig and goats to make you smile! The cabin was stocked with anything you would need and in good clean condition.

Wonderful Stay

This was our first time to come to the Shenandoah area and the Firefly Cottage was a perfect place for us to stay. The cottage was very clean and comfortable and the hosts are great! We enjoyed meeting them and getting to learn about the various animals on their farm. All in all we had a great time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Firefly Cottage to our friends.

Farm stay

I personally prefer the sounds of the occasional animal to a car or person, so this was just what I was looking for and yet super close to Staunton. Katie was very responsive to a few questions I had and everything went smoothly. The perspective from the top of the property also provides a nice view of VA foothills. I would definitely stay here again.

Lovely farm cottage

Love, love, love the Firefly Cottage! It's cozy, quaint and quiet. Love seeing all the farm animals in the morning while I have my coffee. Katie and her family, who own and live on the property, are great. I have stayed there two times and am definitely planning on returning this summer. Just right for one or two people who are looking to get away to a country setting and truly relax and leave your cares behind in the big city!

Great place! The cottage was clean and set up nicely. The farm and animals were interesting and didn't disturb us at night. The hosts were friendly and gave us some good information about the farm and surrounding area. Highly recommend this property and we'll stay here again if we're in the area.

we enjoyed staying at the Firefly Cottage. The place inside was clean , comfortable, and affordable. The only issue was the picture of the outside of cottage in the ad did not match outside currently. outside porches needed some work. we loved the animals. overall, we enjoyed our stay.
