Our book club - a group of eight - loved our long-weekend stay at the Firefly Lodge in January '09. Super-warm fireplace, well-equipped kitchen, private view, quiet nights & comfy beds. Jill was so kind and helpful! Nice and close to shopping and spas in quaint, delicious Healdsburg downtown. Thank you!

Our group of Lamaze buddies, who have been friends since meeting at Lamaze classes 22 YEARS ago, had a wonderful time at Firefly Lodge. Your home was spotless, well-equipped and we couldn't have asked for a better location right on the river.
Thank you!

Review Submitted: August 14, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Firefly Lodge was absolutely spectacular! There were 9 adults who traveled to wine country for a wedding and I don't think we could've found better accomodations for the price in such a great location. The two tiered porch overlooking the Russian River was where we spent the vast majority of our time and there was plenty of seating for all of us. The huge table in the kitchen comfortably sat all 9 of us for several meals while the bedrooms provided total privacy for each couple. Firefly Lodge was nicely updated with comfortable furniture and all the extras anyone would want on vacation. I strongly recommend checking it out for your next stay in Healdsburg!

Review Submitted: March 20, 2008 Date of Stay: March 2008
There are always concerns when you book accommodations online, that the place won't live up to what it claims to be on the computer screen. Not the case with the Firefly Lodge. Cozy, warm, serene Northwoods cabin, with a very well-equipped kitchen, thermostat controlled fireplace, twinkling fireflies in the pine tree (inside, not out!), an incredible deck to watch nature and a fisherman or 2 pass by....it didn't hurt that the weather was PERFECT for our weekend stay, but I can easily imagine a different, but equally fabulous experience on a rainy weekend, curled up on those comfy leather sofas in front of the river rock fireplace. we wine'd, dine'd, hot tub'd and ping-pong'd to our hearts content.... thank you! we'll be back!
