This place is amazing. The staff is so welcoming and accomodating. The tent was clean, beautiful and spacious. Bath area was a tad famurther away from ourvtent, but the facilities were excellent. There were plenty of areas around the property to relax and enjoy nature, hammocks, pucnic tables, fire pit areas. Great trails for hiking. So close to downtown Ithaca, state parks,restaurants and shopping. I highly recommend visiting.

Such a unique experience! Highly recommend! It's such a inviting and cozy atmosphere. It's the perfect location to explore during the day and relax by the fire in the evening.

Comfortable units, but expected it to be a little more quiet and off the main road. Good breakfast, and fire
Kiran, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The area and location are beautiful and perfect for a relaxing weekend away! The breakfast was great, they had fire starter kits to use to make your own fire if you didn’t want to be by the main one, and the s’mores kits provided were adorable and delicious! Everyone in staff was kind, helpful, and ensured we had a great stay and had everything we needed! I can’t wait to share with all my friends and family and to come back!!

8/10 Very good

Overall really nice

tent was nice, weather was OK, but that made a tent stay even better. Staff were friendly if a little disengaged. Amenities were good and it was as clean as a camp site can be - the washrooms were nice. Fire pits were awesome.

8/10 Very good

Found out glamping isn't really my style and the weather (with heat warning) didn't help but property itself is fine. Only thing was that the tent got too hot during the day. More uncomfortable than outside. Would consider staying again in the fall when weather's cooler.

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful tents and bedding. The bathrooms and showers were clean bright and nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The lobby tent has free water coffee and tea. It also has a bar, board games and the campfires outside. There were enough that we have our own fire to enjoy and cook our smores. Took the trail to buttermilk falls park. We started late so didn’t make it to the main falls but it was a beautiful hike in the woods on good paths- did have some steep sections and stairs in the park. We enjoyed our stay.
Theresa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A very unique experience! The location allows walking opportunities to good food at the restaurant on the grounds and an upscale Spa. All areas of the grounds and facilities where clean and well kept. Signs of LGBTQ acceptance with safe place physical signage and unisex bathroom option. Every part of this trip was relaxing and enjoyable! Check in before dark or bring a lantern. Grounds are dark at times in between motion sensor path lights. Once you’ve been to your room you will have a portable lantern to use

Wonderful stay as long as you don't need any sleep

I feel truly bad only giving this place 3 stars as almost the entire experience was amazing! Love the concept & amenities, super clean, so many fire pits so you felt like you were roasting your marshmellows for your complimentary s'mores in your own little world. But given this was a sleeping accommodation and we were not able to sleep any, I just cannot rate it at 5 stars. For the most part, everyone at the campground got the memo that this is a peaceful, connecting with nature experience....except for the tent of people right beside us and their friends who were staying two tents down from us. The people stayed out on their deck beside us talking in full volume voices until almost daylight and the friends walked between the two tents, up and down the gravel paths (crunch, crunch, CRUNCH) so many times that I wouldn't be surprised if Firelight had to dump more gravel in the ruts of the paths after their stay. My husband and I were so sleep deprived by the next morning that when we checked out, we just drove home and cancelled the plans we had made for that day (very disappointing as that was the whole reason we were in the area looking for accommodations to begin with). We have stayed at similar "glamping" experiences previously and those organizations maintained the quiet hours much more successfully than Firelight (as we never heard anyone go to the tent and ask them to quiet down). Such a wonderful experience that turned very disapointing. :(

Noisy

The only thing that was unsatisfactory was my sleep disturbance. The smoke detector in my tent needed a new battery. It beeped every 15 min from about 1am on. At 6am when the staff came in I brought it to the reception desk. She apologized but offered no discount for my stay.
