The Firefly | Cabin | Firepit | Pet-Friendly

Stay just 5 minutes (2 miles) from Warren Dunes State Park and trade hotel hallways for your own woodland cabin retreat. Beach days, firefly evenings, and slow mornings on the porch start here.

The Firefly sleeps up to 5 guests with one private queen bedroom and three twin beds in the open loft—ideal for couples, small families, or a weekend escape with friends. Rustic décor and handmade lighting create a warm, comfortable space that feels personal and relaxed.

This is one of five cabins in our small Harbor Country retreat. Cabins are spaced apart with comfortable distance—social if you’d like, peaceful when you don’t. You’ll have your own covered porch, charcoal grill, and space to unwind.

After a day at the dunes, gather at the shared fire pit 🔥 and picnic area under the stars. Firewood is provided when available. Grill dinner, pour a drink, and let the evening slow down. In summer, kids chase fireflies while adults finally exhale.

Inside you’ll find everything you need for a comfortable stay:
✔ Shared Hot Tub (available all year round)
✔ Air conditioning & heat
✔ High-speed Wi-Fi
✔ Linens & towels provided
✔ Kitchenette with mini fridge, microwave, coffee pot & toaster
✔ Bathroom with shower

There are no TVs on purpose. Bring a device if you’d like—or take the opportunity to disconnect and actually enjoy the people you came with.

Bring your dog along for the adventure. (Leash, cleanup, and crating policies apply.)
Note: Maximum of 2 dogs only

As your host, it’s our goal to make your stay as comfortable as it can possibly be.

Our mission is to help our guests create beautiful memories.
For an optimal experience for us both, we’ve spelled out some house rules. Thank you in advance. We truly appreciate you staying with us.

• Your safety is our main concern and our insurance will only allow a MAXIMUM OF 5 GUESTS, including infants and toddlers.
• Please turn down the AC/heat when you’re away.
• No parties or events, an extra $500 cleaning fee will be applied if a party is thrown.
• Check-in is at 3 PM or after by Smartlock and check-out is at 11AM.
• Please observe quiet hours from 10 pm-8 am out of respect for other guests in the cabins.
• There is absolutely no smoking or vaping in the house or garage. If you smoke outside, please pick up the butts and dispose of them safely.
• There are security cameras present on the exterior for security and guest safety. Do not move or tamper with them.
• The base cleaning fee covers basic cleaning. Additional fees may apply if anything is damaged by more than “normal wear and tear” by dirt, spills, bodily fluids, etc. for using extra cleaning methods.
• For your convenience, we have left detergent for both the dishwasher and washing machine. Please take all bags of trash out to the outside trash bin.
• Please only flush toilet paper. Feminine Hygiene products, paper towels, q-tips, baby wipes, flushable wipes, cotton balls etc. need to be disposed of in the wastebasket.
• Pets are allowed in all cabins: Please bring something as a sofa cover to prevent pet hair build-up. Dogs must be leashed, cleaned up after, and crated when you are not present. Please don’t bring your pet if you’re not sure they will be well behaved and not destructive. We are dog friendly if your dog is friendly and quiet.
• No video productions without written consent from property owner.
• If anything is broken or damaged or simply isn't working properly, please report it to us ASAP.

It is always recommended that you get travel insurance for unforeseen circumstances.

- Please do not use hot tub if you have diarrhea or any disease transmittable by water.

We do our best to keep the indoors and immediate surroundings free from pests and nuisance. However, nature is mostly beyond our control. There might be poison ivy, ticks, bugs, bees and other woodsy things you find in the great outdoors. Red Arrow Cabins cannot be held liable for whims of Mother Nature.

If you have reserved multiple cabins, we require 30 days notice prior to arrival. Cancellations made after that date will result in a charge of 100% of one night stay per cabin.
