Eclectic Thoughtful and Very Comfortable
My stay in The Firefly at Madison was perfect. I wish I could have stayed longer my I choose the room with the hanging bed... why not! The room had multiple places to curl up on including a window seat. There was a small refrigerator and a huge surprise, a French press. Yea! I loved the concrete bathroom sink and counter. The shower was huge and has a "rain" shower head. The garden overflowed with a variety of flowers in many colors. I especially enjoyed going up and down the stairs with honeysuckle twisting through the railings.
Ellie, the owner, was very welcoming, as was her pretty kitty. A big thank you to Teddy who helped me with the hanging bed. He had worked all day, got rained on, and was still cheerful and accommodating at 8 pm in the evening.
I would recommend this cozy, whimsical place to anyone wanting a sweet relaxing place to stay. Oh, by the way it's actually a bed AND breakfast! I was sad I needed to leave early and didn't partake in breakfast.
Enjoy The Firefly at Madison all who go there.
And be sure to visit Madison. It's stunning.
