Such a wonderful experience

We travelled 9 states across the USA and our family keeps talking about how wonderful this home is. The hosts were unbelievably welcoming and the house, views and surrounding evironment is superb. 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.

Best home we've rented yet!

Our family of 5 stayed at Dragonfly cottage for a weekend in October. Dawn is a gracious host, quick to respond, and is very intentional providing a relaxing, comfortable 'at home' stay - regardless of how long you stay for! The cottage had everything we needed, and even the things we didn’t know we needed. Super clean, spacious, and filled with many ways to entertain the family. We’ve rented many homes over the last 13 years, and everyone in the family commented "this is the best one we’ve ever rented - hands down". Next time we come to this area, Dragonfly Cottage is the place we want to stay! Thanks, Dawn!

Fantastic stay!

A comfortable and beautiful property! The game room downstairs was perfect for my teens and we enjoyed a relaxing weeknd playing games and watching football. The host has provided so many amenities I can't even list them all! We hope to return in warmer weather to take advantage of the lake activities.
