About the host

Hosted by Robin Hargrave

Host profile image
Keith (the hands that do) and Robin (the big idea girl) grew up in Mexico, NY. Our favorite season is ORANGE basketball season, followed a close second by camping season. When Robin graduated from SU's School of Architecture and Keith from Clarkson University we started our A&E careers and family in Rhode Island. A decade later we found we had to move "home" to New York, nothing quite compares to Upstate for us. Lima, near Rochester, became our new home base where we've raised a nature loving family. Our three children love the outdoors, camping, hiking, exploring and scuba diving. In the fall of 2016 we found this property on a fluke and fell in love all over again!

Why they chose this property

Avid campers for over 30 years, we finally found a permanent piece of serenity to call our own on Stockbridge Falls in Munnsville. Each year we would search for the perfect piece of calm while camping with our family. We've explored the Adirondacks, RV'ed cross country, frequented hike in sites and we believe we have finally found the best campsite ever on Stockbridge Falls. (Partially because we're getting too old to sleep on the ground!) We are thrilled to share our Cottage and Retreat (and maybe soon the Lodge too!) at Firefly Falls, right on the middle cascade of Stockbridge Falls with our guests looking for the peace and solitude vacation time deserves. How we became Firefly Falls: After a long, hot day of renovations and improvement, in which we'd had all the windows and doors open to catch all the breezes, we laid down to sleep. After a moment of rest we opened our eyes to see the flickering glow of fireflies had filled the Cottage. It added just one more element of magic to our favorite place to be together. We hope you love our home away from home as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Our solitude will draw you in, the gentle roar of our waterfall will captivate and our cottages will encourage you to slow down, relax and enjoy nature. You definitely need a car to get here and explore all the great offerings of the local area but you just might just decide to sit on the deck, cook on the grill, play board or card games at our massive table and sing around the campfire... those are our summer plans!
