Experience nature, right by Hillsville, Va. a few ft from a stocked creek. .
The Firefly sits amongst the trees, just a few ft from the noisy creek bank. A nice rock path takes you into the crystal clear water that is stocked September- May. This safari tent has lots of solar lighting, power, a refrigerator, composting toilet that is odorless and clean, and an outdoor shower. Enjoy the outdoor soaking tub by the creek, a charcoal grill, drip coffee maker, and plenty of stacked firewood by the firepit. There is a hard surface road to the property and then a gravel drive. Only three miles to Hillsville for shopping and dining. We allow pets but please clean up their waste. Sit by the creek and let the sound put you to sleep, hike nearby trails, visit The New River Trail for mountain biking and hiking, flea markets, ziplining at Buffalo mountain ziplining, visit local breweries and wineries.

Trout fishing Trip with Son
Amazing!
The host was very communicative, inviting, and her property is one of a kind. We did not catch any trout but will be returning this spring. 5 star property for sure and such a great value!

Wonderfully Unique Property
My husband, dog and I visited this local vacation property for a long weekend.
The property is spacious with a trout stocked creek at your doorstep! We enjoyed relaxing to the sounds of nature while fishing and reading. Solar lights are a romantic and fun touch at dusk!
There's electricity and multiple heat/cooling options. Mini fridge and running water made our trip feel like home.
Location is a few minutes from shops and restaurants. I recommend Fancy Gap Country Store for delicious food and ice cream!
Thank you, Jodee for answering all our pre-trip questions! We will definitely be back. Maybe we'll bring the kids next time <3

Amazing slice of mountain peacefulness
This was a wonderful alternative to our normal tent camping since most of the campgrounds we go to were impacted by the hurricane. Definitely looking forward to another venture here
