Firefly Acres! I can’t say enough about this hidden gem!
We were looking for a cabin to stay in while visiting the Falls Creek Falls State Park and found this wonderful place. There are 4 different cabins on this beautiful secluded horse ranch. We stayed in the Tool Shed. The décor was amazing with, unexpected gems everywhere you looked. It had super comfortable beds, a small kitchen, bath and a wonderful covered deck overlooking the horse pasture. If all that wasn’t enough, the Owners, Pete and Bambi were amazing! After a wonderful day hiking we called ahead and let them know we wanted to have a fire. When we returned, the fireplace in the pavilion was all ready to go, all we had to do was light it and enjoy! -A review by an unknown guest
