Fire Pit & Grill: Pet-Friendly Shelby Home!

5/5 – Perfect Weekend GetawayWe had an amazing weekend at the Firefly Guest House. The location was perfect—only about 20 minutes from the city, yet it felt completely secluded with gorgeous 360 lakefront views. It was an ideal spot for our group, with kids ranging from 7 to 15, plus our dogs who loved the space just as much as we did.The included kayaks and paddle board were a huge highlight and kept everyone entertained. Having Bozo’s Bait Shop within walking distance was incredibly convenient, and Mrs. Robin was wonderful—she provided all the information we needed and made sure we stayed fully stocked with firewood throughout the weekend.The cabin itself was perfect: very comfortable, clean, and fully equipped with everything we could possibly need. The surprise s’mores package was a huge hit with the kids every night. We especially loved waking up to sunrise views through the beautiful open-concept windows.Evenings by the lake with a fire, playing corn hole, and watching the kids make memories were exactly what we hoped for. We will definitely be planning another trip back—hopefully in the summer so we can take full advantage of the lake and everything this beautiful location has to offer.Highly recommend to anyone looking for a cozy, relaxing, and family-friendly place to stay

Great house, host, ramp, dock and location on Lay Lake. We brought our boat and met up with family for some fishing while in Alabama. I would agree with other reviews that parking is very tight, big thanks to the host for quickly solving our issue with the family showing up. The house is wonderful and clean- thank for sharing it with us! Also, the welcome basket was greatly appreciated:)

The house was very pleasant. We really enjoyed our stay.

This was a perfect weekend getaway! My son got married at Crest Farm Barn which was 30 minutes away. The host left snacks on the bar. That was a nice personal touch. Fully equipped kitchen. Upstairs bed was very comfortable. Grandsons loved the kayaks. Yes, you do go through a small rv park but well kept and didn’t distract from the experience.

Excellent location and beautiful home. We were in the area for a wedding at nearby Crest Farm. The owners really thought of everything. We used the canoe and kayaks. The beds were very comfortable. We would definitely want to stay there again.

We loved our stay. Everything was great. The grill that is in the photos of the listing or description isn’t what is there and we had to alter how we were planning to cook things. Also there were so many ant mounds in the yard. Had to be very careful where you walked.

Contacted the Property manager to ask a question which resulted in us getting the larger home at Selah Manor, the Lighthouse, rather than the Firefly house. The property on which both houses sit give absolutely breathtaking views of the lake, and easy access to most of the most popular places on the lake. Tons of outside space, and the outdoor amenities—fire pit, hammocks, grill were a nice extra. The home was stocked with everything we needed and more, and was very clean and spacious! The fact we could take our two GoldenDoodles made it even better. Can’t wait for our next visit.

Best hosts ever!

We love this house! The convenience and location are great! The house has plenty of room and we love the dock and boat! Will be back next year!

Amazing!! The house is perfect! Owners are wonderful! Will definitely be back!!!

Really enjoyed our stay. Everything was as we expected. Hope we can do it again!

This house was beautiful, situated next to a tranquil lake! Communication with the property owner was challenging as we had to go through a third part management firm that was difficult to reach.

PROPERTY WAS EXCELLENT. THE MORNING SUNRISES ARE ABSOLUTELY GEORGOUS.THE SUNSETS ARE EXCEPTIONAL.THE AMENITIES ARE PERFECT AND ABOVE ALL EXPECTATIONS. I WOULD STAY AGAIN AND AGAIN AND RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYONE.

Everything about our stay was perfect! The house was very clean. The communication with the homeowners was prompt and very accommodating for us, as we had a boat with us for a high school fishing tournament. We would definitely stay here again!

Although the wind prevented a fire, the house and setting was quite beautiful.

Very nice place , will definitely stay again. Parking a little challenging with truck and boat . Private boat ramp was awesome. Host was excellent at responding to anything we needed.

We were so impressed with how nice this house was and having the view of the lake on two sides of the house was amazing! Sunrise was beautiful. We spent so much time out on Lay Lake. We had the best time. Will try for the same time of year next time. Loved every minute.
