Dragonfly Cottage is a beautiful chalet with a front porch in a quiet housing area in the woods that is pet friendly with a nice little fenced in pet yard with puppy poop bag dispenser, fire pit, and gas grill under a covered gazebo-like structure. Beautiful wood cabinets and loft with built in dressers in the bedrooms. Also includes washer and dryer and full bathroom with tub/shower. Suggestions: 1. Gas grill needs repair as one burner is not working. 2. Would be nice to have small trash can outside for puppy poop disposal until placing in large trash at check out. 3. Unable to change temperature for a/c when it got hot. 4. Large ceiling fan was covered in dust so we could not use it for cooling. 5. Would be nice to have Saran Wrap and/or Reynolds Wrap for storage as well as for grilling. 6. Steps at patio door going to pet yard needs repaired, nails coming loose. Otherwise great place to stay!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Summer Fun
Our stay was four nights. We had eight adult family members, which was a bit tight, but we enjoyed our stay. We had other family members camping at South Higgins Lake, so the location was super convenient. The home was very clean and fairly well equipped and the beds were comfortable. There was adequate parking and the neighborhood was quiet. The Dollar General and ice cream store (Nibbles) were within walking distance. Would definitely stay at the Dragonfly House again!

Charming Little Cottage that takes you back in time!
Thank you for sharing your sweet lil cottage in the forest with us. We Loved it! We had a wedding at "The Barn on Higgins Lake," which is only 5 minutes away. It was like traveling back in time to 1984 when everything was less complicated but with great wifi, a smart tv and digital ac! The cottage is located in a nice neighborhood with black topped roads, great for walking & biking but so secluded that a family of deer walked thru our yard each night! There was even a nice little fence in area for our pups to enjoy. A great lil getaway~ ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Family weekend getaway.
We came up for the Firemen’s Memorial and decided we didn’t want a Hotel. So glad I got on and looked, and this cute cabin came up. It was perfect for my family of 4, check in was simple and easy and also check out. We were able to have a bon fire at night and sit back and relax after a long day. Thank you for the quick responses, the cleanliness and great little getaway Up North. We would definitely stay here again if we needed to.

Property was super close to south higgins state park, we were there with a large group of campers. Beautiful campground! Place was clean, has everything you need! Only complaint for us were the beds/mattresses. An upgrade would be a huge plus for this property. Double beds and spring mattresses are just so old and uncomfortable. For a couple a double bed is just way too small, ikea has super adorable queen foam mattresses and they feel like sleeping on a cloud! The owner was always super quick with the responses, polite and nice. I would definitely recommend the place to others, close to a lot of things in the area and very affordable.

dragonfly cottage is a great stay all around! It’s so so close to Higgins state park, ice cream, pizza, a pub, and a dollar general. I expect to see spiders and some grubbiness when it comes to cottage-like properties, but it was spotless and bug-less! My only suggestion to parents traveling with young ones would be to bring a gate for the stairs. The pack’n play and booster at the table were both so convenient and well-kept. We would not hesitate to stay again.
