    - Fishing & kayaking in calm waters
    - Crisp mornings on the deck with coffee and breathtaking views
    - Cozy fireside evenings at the lakeside fire pit
    - Hiking & wildlife spotting—deer, geese, and more!

    The cooler months at Firefly feel like a mountain escape, offering seclusion, serenity, and relaxation by the lake.

Long weekend

The house was very clean, and fairly easy to find. Our main complaint was a lack of comfortable seating for everyone in one area. There is not a living room or seating room with enough comfortable seating for 6 people.
