“Beautiful and comfortable ”
Our group stayed for the second time and could not have been happier. The updates made since our first time were beautiful. We appreciated the welcome baskets and special touches by the owner. We were fortunate to be able to meet her face to face. Very nice lady. Highly recommend this property.

There is just so much to do at the house we didn't want to leave. Super clean, warm and friendly we couldn't fault it. We will be back.

Delighted with Dragonfly
As soon as I saw the pictures of this cottage, I knew that I wanted to stay there! We come to the area every summer to visit family and friends, and have stayed in a variety of places over the years. We have never had a bad experience, but Dragonfly Cottage is in a class by itself for charm! Dawn and Tim responded quickly to any questions that we had, and there were so many little extras that really make it special. The kitchen has absolutely everything that you could possibly need to make a meal, and there are multiple outdoor areas to enjoy. I really liked the sound machine in the bedroom, because I always use one at home, and have never seen one in any of the other places we have stayed. It is obvious that they have really put a lot of thought and caring into making their guests feel welcome, and at home. I highly recommend it, and would definitely stay again!

We only live an hour away but needed to be away. This lake house was just terrific. So many options there to spend your time. There are multiple beautiful spaces surrounding the house for peaceful leisure or entertaining. The inside was very well appointed and many unnecessary accomodations were made to enhance our stay. The bedrooms were all well appointed. The living area was a comfortable space to gather the family and watch a movie (made possible by all the streaming options available.) The basement had a number of activities to occupy yourself or friends with. Definitely a great experience and absolutely above and beyond expectations!

The absolute BEST vacation experience!
Our very best VRBO experience ever! From every imaginable outdoor comfort and exquisite lake view to extremely comfortable beds, living spaces and fabulous kitchen...not to mention the best basement/gameroom imaginable! This was as close to perfection as our entire group could imagine. Everyone from our 80 year old parents to our under 10 kids had an AMAZING time. Comfortable, easy, everything you could want was at our fingertips..and lots of sweet surprises. Super easy going, kind, gracious and easy communicative hosts- A HUGE thank you to Dawn and Tim. It was a magical visit and we can't wait to return!!
