Private and in the woods, our home was built for relaxing and getting cozy. Find exquisite bedrooms for comfy winter sleeps, spacious living areas, and en suite full baths. Enjoy the view of snow-covered forest while staying warm by the fire.
Gut renovated in 2020, Firefly Hill House is serene and beautiful. Full of wonderful artwork, quality furniture and the amenities you would expect for a relaxing escape.
Our two huge main bedrooms (top floor) have exceptional beds. In one find a Restoration Hardware king bed with Helix mattress, and in the other find a Hastens queen bed (if you know it…you know!). Both bedrooms have blackout curtains, en suite full baths and A/C split units. One bedroom includes a work and music area and the other a Peloton and small yoga area. The main floor has a third bedroom (double bed w Casper mattress) with a full bathroom across the hall. All bathrooms include MALIN+GOETZ products.
The open-concept main floor contains three areas. First, a dining area with a gas fireplace and sitting area. Second, a large living room for board games and puzzles, watching a movie or an afternoon catnap. Third, a well-equipped kitchen with an island and covered porch off the back for optional screened-in outdoor dining.
The yard is fully deer-fenced, meaning fewer ticks for your small, well-trained dog and children.
Our internet is quite strong (Spectrum), and we installed Starlink in September 2023, given wired internet in the area can get knocked out by trees.
On the note of pets, please be up front about any pets you plan to bring. Dogs and cats will be considered on a case-by-case basis, but generally they should be on the smaller side and well-trained.
Utilities will be negotiated depending on the length of stay.
I'm from Canada (Waterloo, Ontario, just outside of Toronto), but identify as a New Yorker. I make (analog) visual games called OuiSi that foster curiosity and conversation for kids and families (and yes, I'll be leaving copies of it to take home with you if you like). I've put a lot of love into the home you are about to stay in. It's my main (and only) home but I travel a lot for work, including into the city.
1) Proof of being a great guest. For example, an vacation rental profile with a 5-Star rating. Security deposit of $4500 also required. We'll also want to sign a short-term rental contract.
Pets considered on a case-by-case basis. Generally, small and well-trained dogs are welcome. Service animals still need to be declared, and full documentation will be requested.
