Great house for a big group — a few things to know before you arriveWe stayed at Firefly Retreat with a group of eight and had a really enjoyable trip. The house itself is fantastic — four bedrooms plus a bonus sleeping area upstairs could comfortably fit 11 people, and the layout gave everyone space without feeling cramped. The decor and "firefly" theme throughout were charming, and the entertainment options kept everyone busy: board games, card games, video games, an outdoor hot tub, a private backyard, and a garage game room with a pool table, foosball, darts, and a fridge. Plenty of TVs throughout. The host was responsive and communicative via the VRBO app.A few things that would help future guests: There's no welcome binder on-site, and we really missed having one. The host shared a lot of great info through the app, but when you're traveling with a group, not everyone has access to those messages. A printed resource covering check-in/check-out, house info, nearby restaurants, grocery stores, and local activities would go a long way.Also worth knowing — there's no recycling pickup at the property. The host let us know there's a transfer station about 10 minutes away, but it would be helpful to know upfront that everything goes in the same bins.One thing we didn't quite expect: despite being at Massanutten, the neighborhood sits down the hill from the ski mountain and you don't get much of that mountain feel from the house itself. Not a dealbreaker, but worth setting
