Firefly retreats are structured working environments where lodging, meeting spaces, dining, and gathering settings exist together.

This integrated model removes environmental friction, improves conversational flow, and supports stronger leadership outcomes.

Firefly operates as a private leadership estate — not a shared hospitality venue. Every gathering is full-property exclusive use, designed to protect focus, continuity, and executive-level dialogue.

My Services

Where you meet- shapes your outcomes.

Retreat Investment

Simple starting points. Retreat proposals shaped around your group.

Every Firefly retreat begins with a private estate reservation: Paradise starts at $7,000/night and Rock Springs starts at $15,000/night. From there, your proposal is shaped around lodging, meals, hospitality, meeting support, bar service, and curated experiences.

Required Estate Reservation

From $7,000/night

Paradise begins at $7,000/night. Rock Springs begins at $15,000/night. This reserves the private estate for your group.

Hosted Retreat Package

What’s included starting at $330/person/night.

Designed With Executive Psychology in Mind

Designed With Executive Psychology in Mind

Change the setting. Change the conversation.

Leadership teams do not always need more agenda. They need a different environment — one that interrupts routine thinking, lowers distractions, and creates the privacy required for honest conversation.

01

Privacy Creates Candor

Without shared lobbies, outside guests, or competing events, leaders can have the conversations they avoid in ordinary settings.

02

Space Resets Thinking

Moving from meeting room to fire pit, dining table, trail, or lounge changes the energy of the conversation.

03

Momentum Continues

The best breakthroughs often happen after the formal session ends — over dinner, drinks, and unscheduled time together.

Firefly Moments are built around this idea: the right environment helps leadership teams see differently, speak more openly, and leave with decisions that hold.

Leadership Sumner

“Paradise by Firefly Venues provided the ideal setting for our Leadership Sumner retreat. It is remarkably accessible, yet the moment you arrive, you feel completely transported, as though you’ve stepped into a private sanctuary. The thoughtful restoration pays tribute to its rich musical legacy while creating an inspiring environment designed for meaningful, focused work. What truly distinguished the experience was the team. They asked insightful questions from the outset, anticipated needs we hadn’t yet identified, and executed every detail with seamless precision. This allowed our Board to remain fully immersed in strategy and leadership development, confident that everything else was impeccably managed. We are already planning our return and have enthusiastically recommended Paradise to corporate planners, brides, and families celebrating milestone occasions.”

— Beth Pickel, Leadership Sumner Board President

I just wanted to say a few words about our experience at Paradise in November. I run events across the world in a variety of conferencing and retreat venues, but they rarely feel as welcoming and homely as this. The central kitchen felt like a shared family space with always a gentle and easy conversation flowing, and the spaces both inside and out gave us so much choice in curating an environment conducive to team and individual development. Thanks again for your hospitality and care. I hope to be back again someday.
