It doesn't matter the season, the Firefly experience is very rewarding! We felt "at home" right away. Our hostess, Issy, took us up to our large bedroom with such a fabulous view. Her breakfasts are delicious, fresh fruit etc. She was very accommodating and "entertaining". We could watch a big screen T.V. downstairs if we wanted to. We watched something on netflix instead. The white horse in Issy's meadow was fun to watch! We were close to Mt. Abe. We only climbed half way though! Loved the area, so much to see and do. We saw a bear who decided not to cross the road after all! Thank you, Issy, for a great time and good advice! Muriel and David, Waterloo. Ontario

After 4 years of wanting to stay here, I finally booked the rustic cabin at Firefly B&B to celebrate my 1 year anniversary with my boyfriend. As soon as we pulled into the driveway, I was filled with joy at how adorable the cabin is. Issy, our innkeeper, greeted us warmly, made sure we had everything we needed, made a few recommendations, and gave us our space to explore. The cabin is very rustic: there is no bathroom or cable, all of which is clearly stated on the website. I knew all of this going in and we were totally fine with it. There are, however, DVDs and VHS tapes for the players, so feel free to bring some movies along. We also did not get cell service in the cabin, but when we went into Bristol (about a 10 min. ride) we had full service. It was not at all a nuisance to go into the main house to use the bathroom, and I enjoyed not having the distractions of cable TV and my cell phone. We were there to enjoy the charm of Vermont, and that we did. Bristol, Middlebury, and Burlington are all within close proximity to Issy's and are quaint, picturesque, small towns, with lots of charm. There are also several mountains close by for some challenging hikes (we did Mt. Abraham). Issy was such a kind and gracious hostess, and we couldn't have asked for a better, more enjoyable stay in Vermont.…

First time in years I've taken more than a week off at a time and to end the vacation my wife and I did the causeway cycle in Burlington and hiked Mount Abraham and had a perfect place to retreat to every evening. Bristol was a perfect place to supper at when needed. Thanks to a perfect hostess, Izzy!!

Actually I stayed there back in March 2013 but only just getting around to write the review I promised! I was skiing through on the Catamount trail, without transport other than walking to/from the trailhead and skiing. Issy helped me out - appreciated. The room had a shared toilet/bathroom with the other room on the same floor, but that's OK as long as you know about it.

We absolutely loved our stay with Issy! She was kind, welcoming, and accommodating. The first night, we stayed inside her home in the Sir Rocco room. It was neat, clean, and cozy. The next two nights were spent outside in the cabin; equally as neat and clean but we LOVED the cabin. The breakfast and conversation in the AM were very enjoyable; Issy has many stories to share and we loved chatting with her! The breakfast was delicious and great fuel before we left each day for our expenditures. This is the perfect location for those that love the outdoors, hiking, photography, etc. Also a great location for dog lovers as Firefly B&B is pet friendly. Thank you again Issy for a wonderful time!

My fiancée and I stayed with Issy in February 2016 and we had a lovely time. Issy accomodated our late night arrival from NJ and the property was a bucolic slice of Vermont. Walking the dog in the morning we saw a herd of whitetail deer in a nearby field with bright white paper birch trees surrounding the area.

My wife and I have just returned from our third visit to Issy's and continue to be absolutely delighted with the beautiful vista, accommodations, food, and company. On our first two visits we stayed in the very cozy and private cabin; this time in the newly renovated king bedroom of the main house. Just as we have come to expect everything was clean, comfortable, tidy and tastefully arranged. The continental breakfast (which included fruit, cereals, pastries, toast, yogurt, several jams and nut butters, and some really nice coffee) was excellent and the conversation lively. It was lovely to relax at the pristine and cozy Firefly while the February snows blanketed the fields and mountain ridges around us. We will be back.

Issy is a wonderful host and provides you the comfort of home away from home. Me and my wife had a nice stay and were offered warm hospitality by Issy. The location is perfect for both its proximity to Burlington as well as to the beautiful Green Mountains. The Breakfast was wonderful and the room and the wash room was clean and maintained properly. Issy, thank you for your snow boots as it helped Tanya a lot We look forward to meet you again in summers. Thanks for everything.

Now, the location is wonderful for this bed and breakfast. Close to hiking trails and Mount Abraham which my husband and I climbed. The area is beautiful and the towns quaint. The bed and breakfast, however, I wasn't entirely pleased with. First off, Issy advertised a room with a king bed. This room I booked for this reason. It wasn't a king, but two twins pushed together. The "deluxe continental" was a bit meager. The way Issy describes it online was not how it is in reality. I wouldn't consider cheerios, raisin bran and mini wheats anything particularly special. There was one type of toast to choose from (or not choose I guess), and a tub of Greek yogurt in the center of the table. Sure this is great for when I'm at home but at every other bed and breakfast I've stayed at, there's been a lot more substance to their breakfasts. The hot breakfast wasn't even offered to us which was a disappointment. Finally, the home was dirty. I don't know if the cleanliness is always to this standard or if it was due to her mobility issues, but I was pretty grossed out. The carpets were dirty and there were cobwebs everywhere, many still housing spiders. The smell of the place was pretty gross too. I can't in good faith give Issy more than three stars. You were very kind, but I wasn't happy about the standards of your home.…

Response from Marie-Louise L, Owner at Firefly Bed and Breakfast
Responded Nov 24, 2015
We will have to take this review simply " with a grain of salt" comparing them to all other 5 star rated review. Unfortunately I was somewhat handicapped with a severely sprained ankle and had to hire a cleaning lady for our Rooms. I was not able to do stairs to check on their work ! Cob webs are common and need to be removed frequently which we do almost daily but that does not a room DIRTY or smelly. We also never had a complaint about our Continental Breakfast or the fact that the king size bed is indeed two twins put together as we frequently get guests who need 3 single beds . This makes it possible to separate them. Last but not least : We fully realize that one cannot please everyone all the time. Sincerely Marie-Louise L.
