Firefly Lodge

After reading the owner comment, I feel the need to point out that we had (GASP!) a smoker among us. He was visiting our beautiful state from New Mexico. He never smoked inside. I was pregnant and very sensitive to secondhand smoke. I would never sit (sleep) inside with someone smoking. It was raining all weekend and I was inside most of the weekend hanging out or sleeping. No wine tasting for me!
My husband wanted the option of internet access since it was raining the whole weekend and we would be spending a lot of time indoors. The owner had been parked smack dab in the middle of our first dinner and no closer to gaining us Internet access after several hours and some house guests felt funny having a stranger in the dining room/​living room among this tight knit group of friends so one member of our group took it upon herself to ask her to leave. No internet and no on-​line poker for hubby all weekend, much to his dismay!

This place is lovely, but the owners are horrible! We stayed on the same weekend (with the same group — full disclosure) as Tracy A. Great accommodations for a group of our size (12 couples, I think) in two lovely houses with major amenities. So we had communal meals with everyone in the large house, cooked dinner both nights we were there.
Evidently this was considered «a party» by the owner, who did ding the group for part of the deposit. Frankly… I think she was just cranky because she spent a couple of hours there on Friday night trying to get internet access to work (unsuccessfully).
It’s really too bad that we will NEVER go there again. As I said lovely, but be careful if you accidentally break one of the RULES by mistake!
