This place is absolutely gorgeous. It was more than we imagined and the pictures don't do it justice. It was the perfect getaway for our family. It was close to hiking, horseback riding and of course the Shawnee Wine Trail. It was so peaceful and the property is well maintained. We enjoyed being "unplugged" and forcing our kids to "live like the 1900s" (if you know, you know).

The cabin was very nice, fully stocked kitchen. Lots of outdoor space and a very nice swinging bed on the front porch for relaxing. Really close to our favorite winery, Blue Sky.

Beautiful location and property

We came for a long weekend and were not disappointed. The bedroom in the basement was a little strange but I slept just fine! I loved that there was no wifi. We saw lots of wildlife and nice wineries were close by.

Girls trip Weekend

Great star at the Firefly…the amount of room was great for our party of 5. And Really clean. Deck area needs more lighting, comfortable seats and rehab on the deck. Maybe update the listing too - no leather sofas in the living room. No WiFi at all. Needs more seating in the living room. But overall great peaceful location easy to access all of southern Illinois favorites.

Friends weekend

We booked this property for a weekend away with some friends. It was perfect for us (3 couples). The beds and furnishings were comfortable. It would’ve been nice to have another small loveseat or armchairs in the living room for extra seating but we managed. The outdoor area is beautiful, with plenty of seating options. Bring some firewood or be prepared to search the woods if you want to use the fire pit. The only thing that would be nice would be WiFi - but that wasn’t a big deal for us and it was nice to unplug for a while. We would definitely stay here again!!

No WiFi, mouse in Keurig, Found someone else’s shirt and a glow stick In one of the rooms.

The property was beautiful. However, we found a shirt and a glow stick that was not ours in the upstairs bathroom and bedroom. Makes me question how well the property was cleaned. When we got there, the doors were Unlocked and one of them was open. We assume that’s how the mouse got in. We found the mouse in the Keurig in the morning. We notified the owner who did come over right away. However, he came in with an attitude of accusing us. We had to show him pictures and the dead mouse, He took the Keurig with him and never replaced it. The property did have gorgeous views and we did see some forest animals, which was really cool.

Girls trip

Celebrating a birthday. Winery visits were fun. Not a lot of restaurants but plenty of options at the wineries for a light meal. Beautiful property. Lots of deer wild turkeys and other wildlife. House was very nice. 4th bedroom is down stairs. It’s basically in the garage but overall it’s a great place to stay.

Great place to disconnect

Lovely space that was clean and had plenty of bedrooms for our group to spread out! Beautiful property, very serine and relaxing. I didn’t realize there wasn’t WiFi until last minute which was my fault and I probably should’ve printed out our check in information before we lost service. Otherwise it was great to disconnect and be off grid for a few days (there is service just down the road so it is still easy to get to other places). My only other complaint was that we couldn’t figure out how to turn on some of the light fixtures (specifically the big overhead light in the living room but there was plenty of other lighting to supplement). The kitchen and grill worked great for us and was well stocked with everything we needed!

nice setting

The property is beautiful, note there is a small swampy pond not pictured. Could use some minor maintenance - the lights/fans in first floor bedrooms not working, and perhaps label all switches so guests know which switch turns on what. The upstairs bedroom was difficult to keep cool and the daily high was only 80. Confusion about this being a place to have our small ceremony - original listing posted a wedding cake on the stage (now picture taken down)then we read in rules Not to use the stage, and a large sign by the road that reads weddings, events (Firefly Valley lodge); now it list no parties-events - but as an elderly couple we moved our little wedding with a few family and friends under the trees and it was wonderful. Plenty of kitchenware, bring your own soap, extra toilet paper, paper towels and even towels as minimum is provided. Great views, would be nice for hikers/winers as in perfect location in the beautiful Shawnee Forest wine country.

Wine trip

Had a great time at the house. Had all the necessities we needed. Arrived after dark and was unable to find the key pad to unlock the house. We did call the owner and found out that it was on the back door. The dishwasher did not work and outside lighting was not nearly enough. I didn’t realize how dark it could be. Had several lady bugs in the upstairs bedroom. The kitchen chairs were wobbly. I realize these were very trivial issues so overall the stay was enjoyable.

Meet the Owners – The Story Behind Firefly Valley Lodge
We were both born and raised right here in Southern Illinois, and as proud graduates of Southern Illinois University Carbondale, our roots run deep in this region. Firefly Valley Lodge is not just a rental—it’s a heartfelt extension of home, built on a love for the land, the community, and the peaceful beauty of the Shawnee Hills.

We discovered this 75-acre property nestled on Rocky Comfort Road, and instantly fell in love with its seclusion, sweeping views, and direct access to the Shawnee National Forest. It felt like the perfect place to create a sanctuary where guests could slow down, unplug, and experience the same beauty and serenity we grew up with.

Every detail in the Lodge—from the cozy porch swing bed to the two-tiered fire pit and handpicked furnishings—was chosen with care, as if it were our full-time home. We wanted it to feel warm, welcoming, and stylish, with a touch of rustic charm and all the comforts you’d expect.

Whether you're visiting wineries, hiking the forest trails, reconnecting with friends, or simply enjoying the stillness of nature, we hope Firefly Valley Lodge becomes a place you’ll return to again and again.

Thank you for considering our home—we’re proud to share a piece of Southern Illinois with you.

Warm regards,
Matt and Corene
Owners, Firefly Valley Lodge | SIU Carbondale Alumni

Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade

We chose this spot for Firefly Valley Lodge because the moment we stood on the hill and looked out over the valley, we felt something truly special. The sweeping views of the trees and rolling hills, the quiet stillness of the land, and the frequent visits from deer, wild turkeys, and songbirds made it feel like a hidden sanctuary.

In the early mornings, you can watch deer grazing just below the deck. In the evenings, the valley comes alive with the soft glow of fireflies dancing in the open fields—a truly magical sight that inspired the name of the Lodge. It’s a peaceful, almost timeless place that allows you to slow down and reconnect with nature.

This location gave us the privacy we craved and the beauty we wanted to share. And with the Shawnee National Forest literally at the edge of the property, we knew it offered the perfect balance of quiet retreat and outdoor adventure.

It’s not just a vacation spot—it’s a place to breathe, reflect, and appreciate the simple wonders of the natural world

O que faz essa propriedade ser única?

Firefly Valley Lodge offers something truly rare: seclusion, scenery, and convenience—all in one location. Nestled on 75 private acres in the heart of the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail, this Lodge gives you the freedom to unwind in total privacy, yet places you just minutes from some of the area's most popular wineries including Blue Sky, StarView, and Feather Hill Vineyard.

What really sets this property apart is its direct access to 140 acres of the Shawnee National Forest, making it a dream destination for hiking, wildlife viewing, photography, or just connecting with nature. Step off the back deck and into the woods—no driving required.

Whether you're sipping wine on the wrap-around deck, stargazing by the two-tiered fire pit, or relaxing on the porch swing bed, Firefly Valley Lodge delivers a peaceful, immersive experience you won't find in town or in clustered rentals.

Perfect for romantic escapes, friend gatherings, or family vacations—this is where comfort meets the quiet beauty of Southern Illinois.
