You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Firefly | Cabin | Firepit | Close Warren Dunes

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.

Perfect For
• Romantic Harbor Country getaways
• Small families (sleeps 5)
• Chicago-area weekend trips
• Guests who prefer cabins over hotels

📍 Location Highlights
• 5-minute drive to Warren Dunes
• Close to local orchards, breweries, and Harbor Country attractions

Perfect location for a work trip, with such sweet accommodations with the log vibe and plenty of space. Our favorite was the front porch swing. We will be back! Thank you, Tony for the prompt communication.
