We loved staying at the Dragonfly House. It was gracious, clean, convenient, attractive, roomy and fully delightful. We would stay there again. The host was helpful and the entire process was easy. I highly recommend staying at the Dragonfly House.
I loved my stay here. Cozier than it looks in the pictures. Like a warm hug from a dear friend. Super comfortable couch (rare) and bed. I hope to be back.
We had a great time staying at the dragon fly house! Andrea and Brad were very communicative and quickly refunded an accidental extra night booking. We happened to stay during some especially sunny spring weather and slept very comfortably. We will definitely book again if there is availability.
We were so happy to find this adorable house just two blocks away from the friends we were visiting in Portland. The house is impeccably decorated and spotlessly clean.
This was a lovely cottage with everything you would need. It was clean and cozy warm and close to the grocery store and restaurants. The neighborhood is very quiet and I felt very safe here. My son lives only a mile away, so it was very convenient for us to meet up. I had a very relaxing week.
We immediately felt at home, although this place is much more stylish than mine! Everthing was pristine but not at all stuffy. I can't say enough good things about it
We enjoyed our stay at the dragonfly house in Portland. The house is well-equipped with a comfortable bed and shower. Andrea was very responsive. The garden is beautiful and the library impressive. We look forward to future stays in dragonfly.
This place is perfect for a couple wanting to stay in the charming North Portland area. Very thoughtfully set up with beautiful art work and finishes. We look forward to staying again!
We had a great stay. Quiet street, cute & clean! Love the full size kitchen & eating area. Host is wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed! Hope to come again soon!
Super cute comfy front area house, very quiet area and great parking right out front, the owners are super friendly and id definitely love to make this my go to vacation rental for my trips to portland! Cant wait to bring my boyfriend next time
The Dragonfly House was a perfect home base for a busy graduation weekend. It had everything we needed. It would also be a great place to stay for a relaxing trip to explore Portland. There was a very well-stocked full kitchen. Andrea has thought of everything!
We had a great stay at this location.
I would recommend it for a couples location.
We visited the zoo, rose garden and Japanese garden all only 20 minutes away.
My husband and I stayed here while visiting our kids at UP. Beautiful neighborhood, everything was clean and comfortable. House was well/stocked. We are planning on staying here again!
