Our Story at Prairie Fireflies

In the vast landscapes of the Great Plains, stretching from Nebraska to the broader heartland of America, Prairie Fireflies was conceived from a simple yet profound desire to reconnect people with the outdoors. Founded by Gina and Tracey, enthusiasts of nature and advocates for sustainable living, our retreat serves as a beacon for families, couples, and solo adventurers seeking to escape the digital noise and bustle of city life. Located conveniently close to home, Prairie Fireflies offers a sustainable way to explore and enjoy the great outdoors without the need for lengthy travel, fulfilling our promise to reduce our carbon footprint and nurture the land we grew up loving. 

Where Glamping Meets the Wild

Our vision was clear: to create a space where the serenity of glamping meets the wild spirit of adventure. The nights here are lit by stars, and mornings are greeted by the gentle rustle of leaves. At Prairie Fireflies, we believe the essence of glamping lies in striking a harmonious balance between the adventurous spirit of camping and the comfort of a thoughtfully designed retreat.

A Canvas of Unplugged Experiences

As you step onto our grounds, you enter a world meticulously crafted to ensure each element of your stay—from the bedding in our canvas tents to the chef made meals served under the sky—is infused with quality and care. We offer unique features like foil meal kits, s’mores kits for that perfect fireside evening, and an array of activities including hiking trails, yard games, and scavenger hunts.

Our commitment to sustainability is deep-rooted. We utilize eco-friendly practices to preserve the natural beauty of the Great Plains, ensuring every stay is impactful yet gentle on the environment. Importantly, our retreats are designed as sanctuaries without Wi-Fi. This purposeful choice helps our guests truly unplug, recharge, and forge deeper connections with nature and each other.

More Than Just a Destination

Prairie Fireflies is more than a destination; it’s a journey back to what’s real and true. It’s where memories are not just made but deeply felt. As we continue to expand our reach beyond Nebraska, our commitment remains unwavering: to provide a place not just to visit, but to belong. A haven where you can return year after year, discovering that the magic of the prairie, and the peace it offers, is just as you left it.
