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.

Couple Getaway

My girlfriend and I enjoyed a lovely time in the secluded cabin with our little English bulldog, Goose. We spent the nights by the fire, enjoyed the local wineries, and got a chance to go up the river on the kayaks for a relaxing day on the water. Would 100% come back to this property.

2nd visit to Fireflies, both times to celebrate a wedding anniversary. Dog walks on the New River Trail and visited a couple nearby vineyards. This made for a relaxing weekend. Like last year, the deer are entertaining to watch and they nearly come onto the back porch.

Wonderful isn't a strong enough word...

We were traveling north from NC in order to get away from tornado watches/warnings and an already flooded home... our hosts were incredible and so very accommodating. Comfortable, quiet, relaxing and beautiful. We had our 13 yr old daughter and our sweet but big puppy along for the adventure.

The river was too low to be accessible so we were unable to kayak or swim. The cabin is great.

Clean, Beautiful, Restful

After searching through many places to stay, I can't believe we found such a perfect place! This is now our go-to vacation spot. Bill and Kathie really pay attention to detail and include so many helpful perks. We made good use of the kayaks with our pup, caught fireflies, grilled, went star-gazing, and relaxed in the jacuzzi. We'll definitely be back!

Honeymoon bliss!

My husband and I spent a week at the cabin for our honeymoon, and it was amazing! It's such a peaceful and tranquil area. We spent most of our time sitting out on the patio area or down by the river, just listening to nature. The cabin itself is lovely, too. Very comfy bed, nice bathroom, updated and well-stocked kitchen. We highly recommend staying, even if just for a weekend!

Great Romantic getaway!

My partner and I loved it. The hosts were great, and it was a beautiful experience. There were many Wildlife: deer, Falcons, and even a Bear running across the field. I am already booking another longer stay. Three or more nights are perfect. The well-stocked kitchen has everything you need to cook a meal after spending a day on the river, Kayaking or just laying out on their dock.

About the host

Hosted by Kathie Conaway

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.
