Farm and family

Firefly at Madison was a lovely experience. The host and her son were most attentive and made the stay welcoming. Everything was clean, comfortable and peaceful. I enjoyed mornings and evenings on the front porch with the hosts and other guests. Interesting conversations and delightful company. I honesty didn't want to leave and certainly look forward to returning. The chickens were so much fun. Thanks to Teddy's advice I will soon get chicks of my own.

Weekend

We spent a beautiful weekend at Firefly and could not have been more pleased. Ellie is an exceptional host and went above and beyond. Our room was perfect and our visit idyllic. Get to spend some time in the area; you will not regret it

My stay was very pleasant.

I had everything i needed in-my room, including tea and coffee. It also included a nice breakfast in the main house. The owner, Ellie, even accomodated my milk allergy. My room had stairs so you may want to check if the one you are renting has them.

Cute Cottage--needs to be more thoroughly cleaned inbetween visits

We did enjoy staying at the bed and breakfast. The one issue we had is that it was obvious the toilet had not been cleaned before our visit. When my husband lifted the seat to go to the bathroom there was urine on the bottom of the seat and on the bowl. Luckily there were cleaning products in the kitchen area so I was able to clean the toilet myself.

Comfy & Cozy

Very nice host; very inviting environment. Good balance of nature and animals to the property. Great for a “nights stay”.
