Best Glamping experience
We loved our weekend stay, it was the perfect setting for my 2- and 6-year-old boys to explore and enjoy nature. The river is beautiful, and we had the whole place to ourselves, which made it feel like our own private getaway. Inside, the cabin is cozy and inviting, especially with the wood-burning stove—it adds such a warm and charming touch. The kitchen is well-stocked, and the tent is even more spacious and comfortable than the photos. You can really tell that a lot of attention to detail went into making this place special. The compostable toilet takes a little getting used to, but there’s also a traditional toilet available on the property, which is a nice option to have. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be coming back!

Loved it!
We loved staying at JoDee's place and so did our fur baby! Having the river close by was great. We had plenty of privacy since the other tent sites on the land were not booked. The only thing I would note is that the hot water is limited (which is to be expected, you're in a tent) just don't expect a very long outdoor shower. We will be back if we are ever in the area! We also loved the location, we felt like we were able to hop over to Hillsville, Fancy Gap, Galax, the Blue Ridge Parkway and even Mt. Airy with ease. You're in a central location but it feels secluded.

Very good camp site! Very warm in the winter with the stove and the space heaters. Nice to have access to running water as well as a stove. For those seeking complete privacy, there is a driveway at the top of the hill where you are visible from the campfire area but not from the front porch. Lots of great kitchen amenities provided! Would recommend

We Loved the Firefly!
My husband and I had the absolute best time at the Firefly. I can not recommend this campsite enough! The accomodations are fantastic, even though the composting toilet took some getting used to but for those not wanting, there is a normal toilet on the property you can use. The location is secluded enough and beautiful to see all the stars at night but also still close by to stores for any last minute things you might need. The sounds of the creek is beautiful and relaxing the entire time. Jodee was also super quick to reply to me when I had questions and often check up on us to make sure we stayed warm and had what we needed. It was a great way to spend our anniversary with our dogs. I'll be staying here again and you should too!
