to the peaceful and residential nature of our neighborhood no
parties or special events are permitted, and the home's use is
restricted to no more than the number of paid guests (exceptions

Lodge property just 4 doors down the same
riverfront lane, to sleep an additional 4-8 guests. Or, our Riverwood
Lodge property is just 1/2 mile away and sleeps
an additional 6-14 guests. Lastly, our property
The Old River Lodge (about 1 1/2 mile away)
sleeps an additional 4-9 guests.
FIREFLY
LODGE is a lovely cedar home in a beautiful river
location (just
3 miles from the park plaza in downtown
Healdsburg) with two decks, outdoor dining with gas grill, hot
tub with river views, kayaks and indoor amenities such as a ping-pond
table. The covered deck invites you to linger and enjoy the wonderful
river views and three sets of fully openable French doors make
an enjoyable indoor/outdoor living environment. Firefly has 2
king size rooms, 2 queen size rooms (one of the queen rooms is
a "double" queen with two queen beds) and
fine, 100% cotton linens, and down alternative comforters.
