Firefly Hills Farmhouse is a historic house in Beattyville, Kentucky. Historic house in Beattyville; research record. It sits in the archive under haunted places. The dossier holds 1 reported claim and 1 legend — all telling, no verified spine yet, and the file says so plainly. Access details are unverified — research before visiting. The dossier keeps the place and the story in the same record — which is what the archive is for.

The farmhouse — locally called the Snowden House — stands on Pine Grove Road outside Beattyville, in Lee County where the Kentucky hills begin closing in toward the Red River Gorge. It is roughly a century old and spent recent years as the farmhouse on the Firefly Hills RV park property until owners Tonja and Troy Lesmeister renovated it and converted it to guest lodging.

WHAT'S REPORTED
The local lore, collected by Kentucky After Dark and regional news coverage, concentrates upstairs: a woman seen brushing her hair in the third-story window; voices and rattling doorknobs; dishes crashing; the sensation of movement on the bed; and a bathtub that fills itself with water. Past residents supplied most of the accounts; the dossier files them as documented legend, which is the honest category.
The owners leaned in rather than out. Firefly Hills After Dark tours — run in October 2024 and 2025 — hand paranormal equipment to visitors, and the farmhouse is a passport stop on the state's Kentucky After Dark trail. A house that was private rumor for decades is now, by the tourism program's own lights, a documented legend with a reservation desk.
