Fishing

Nice property. Only issue was the carpenter bees were an issue on the outside of the property you couldn’t stand on the porch around the house without being swarmed,the owner has traps but they need an exterminator.

About the host

Hosted by Kathleen Chambers

Why they chose this property

My brother built the cabin as his home with the help of our extended family. As my children grew up it was a hub for family gatherings with a huge yard, jet skiing and multiple levels in the home for different age groups to gather. When he needed to move away he planned on selling the cabin but it felt too important to let go. I approached him about turning it into a vacation rental. This place is special. It provides a peaceful time away and it fills me with memories of our family. We hope you can build memories at FireFly Lodge too.

What makes this property unique

FireFly Lodge its about Lake Shelbyville, a 11,000 acre lake, offers boating, fishing, swimming, hiking and hunting. All of the land around Lake Shelbeville is owned by the Army Corp. This is one of the few properties that we know of that has a private trail down to the lake. With 5 acres of land and forests on both sides, the only neighbors we see are the deer in the morning and friendly birds.
