The Firefly Retreat in Lancaster county

Welcome to your perfect nature retreat! Tucked away in the woods on 5 private acres, this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom newly remodeled home is perched above a peaceful creek. Soaring ceilings with exposed beams and warm wood finishes create an open, inviting living and dining area. Unwind beside the wood-burning stove, soak in the clawfoot tub, or cook up a feast in the fully stocked kitchen. Three bedrooms open directly onto the deck — great for groups wanting both community and privacy.

Outside, enjoy true creekside living: relax in the barrel sauna, gather on the oversized deck with a grill, or cozy up around the fire pit under the stars. A short path leads to your own natural swimming hole, and at night, fireflies light up the woods like something out of a storybook.

Wildlife lovers will feel right at home, with regular visits from deer, a fox, an owl, two great blue herons, groundhogs, songbirds, and a bald eagle known to soar nearby.

Despite the seclusion, you're just 15 minutes from all that Lancaster has to offer and 30 minutes from Hershey and Dutch Wonderland. It's the perfect home base for a peaceful escape with easy access to family fun.

The host was very responsive to our questions and the property fits our needs for a group of coaches who attend tournaments at the Nook. Even with a large snow storm - they had the area plowed quickly so that our coaches could get to their destinations on time. Will plan to stay again.

We stayed here for a local ladies weekend. Although not too far from where we live we felt transported to a quiet woodland retreat! We thoroughly enjoyed Everything about the property! The beds and pillows were super comfy and also enjoyed sitting on the deck in the coolest modern Adirondack chairs. We loved watching the birds and deer enjoying the property as well. Communication was A. Would definitely recommend!!
