"It was a great weekend getaway. We had everything we needed for our relaxing stay. Nice view of the lake and nice firepit area. Loved the lights around the firepit area."

Fancy Fireflies Cabin

Fancy Fireflies Cabin

10/10 Excellent

"Everything you could ask for is here within this quaint cabin. The rustic feel with all the amenities made you feel at home. The bed was comfortable and everyone that stayed on the grounds were very friendly, if your lucky the little dog Ruby might visit you, she is adorable! I was surprised to find a hot pot, toaster, knives, kitchen utensils and extra paper plates. The grocery store is within biking and walking distance and has a lot of local cheese and wine . Most shops don’t operate until 10 am so a lazy morning is nice to have and don’t feel like you are missing out on much. Also my stay was in October so some shops are not open until mid week or just on the weekend. Keep that in mind if you want to see something or eat something you have on your itinerary. Over all 10/10 !!"

"Quaint cabin within walking distance (less than 10 minute walk) from Main Street in Hayward. Cabin was clean with well stocked kitchen. We appreciated the coffee pods, hot cocoa and tea that was available for use. If you don’t like ladders/lofts - everything you need is on the main floor. Parking is easy. Check out requirements were simple and quick. Great place to relax, take in nature, and still be close to town!"
