- "This cabin was everything we needed to have a wonderful 2 day ice fishing/snowmobiling vacation. Very clean and well kept. I would definitely recommend staying here." - "Everything was great! Will be staying again soon" - "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."

Only 4 miles from the 6/7 trail head at the US-127 exit 201 that you can ride to from the driveway. We have a front deck with a gas grill and furniture out back to help you relax and soak up the summer sun! There's a large outdoor table with chairs as well as a picnic table. We have a large double lot with wooded lots on both sides (no close neighbors!) that provide a peaceful private up north setting along with a stone bonfire pit out back for roasting s'mores under the stars. For those rainy days enjoy a game of cards under the cathedral ceiling covered porch out back with a ceiling fan and dimmable LED lights!

- "." - "The cottage was cleanly, cute and just right for a summer weekend up north. We loved the extra thoughtfulness of having a little cooler to use, bug spray, spices, etc. Super close to the water and a nice dock to hang on. I’d recommend to anyone and definitely stay again!" - "A great place with access to the lake about a block away! Very clean and the main living area was modern and comfortable. A great place for a few people to hang out if the weather is rainy. The best part though is when the weather is nice. There is a back yard with plenty of space to hang out or to prep for heading to the lake. Between the driveway and the garage there's plenty of room to organize the water toys for kids or adults. Beds are super comfortable too."

- "Very enjoyable stay with great hospitality!" - "The cottage is so design so cute and you can see the lake from the front window of the sun porch. Such a beautiful little get a way." - "We have stayed at this little cottage 3 times over the last 7 summers and we always have a great time. Our mom actually stayed here as a kid before my grandparents built their house which is still right down the road. The host is always available and communicative and the residents in the area always make us feel welcome. You can’t find a better location and the price is just right. The only complaint we’ve had is that it gets too hot in the west side of the cottage in the afternoon and evening. They have added a portable a/c which helps. Otherwise, it is always a great stay."

- "Everything was as advertised. Booked both cabins so had the whole place to ourselves. Very clean, and really nicely decorated so you didn't really feel like you were in a hundred year old cabin. Had all the basic amenities in the kitchen you would need, and plenty of towels. The lake is just a short walk away, spent a lot of time down by the beach having a cocktail or two. The boat mooring was very close and the dock was plenty long enough to load all the people and gear on. Spent every night around the fire, kinda felt like camping!! Hosts were very accessible. Can't wait to stay again!!"
