The Firefly Inn

Formerly the Starbuck Inn, this property has been lovingly updated and beautifully refurnished but maintains the warm, friendly atmosphere that Peter Starbuck created over his 20 years of ownership. Surrounded by two acres of lushly landscaped lawn and gardens, this quiet, peaceful inn is the quintessential New England escape, but is conveniently located just a short walk from restaurants, shops, and galleries. For the sporting enthusiast, The Firefly is just a short drive from state and local parks that offer hiking, biking, camping, and fishing.


We are delighted to welcome families to our inn, where children are always invited to join. We require that individuals be at least 21 years of age to reserve and check into a room. To ensure a serene atmosphere for all guests, we kindly ask that our quiet hours from 10pm to 8am be observed. For your convenience, we offer adjoining rooms that comfortably accommodate up to 6 guests. Our Garden Cottages are also an excellent choice for families. For everyone's comfort and safety, we ask that children be supervised at all times.
