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.

Great stay
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.

Cute cottage with firepit
We only had a one night stay, but this was just enough space for me and my husband. We could have even had another couple or kids with us as there was plenty of space. The cottage is a little dated, but has updates. You can tell. The place could use a deep clean for dust and cobwebs being in the woods, but was very clean in the main spaces, kitchen and bathroom. Water pressure is very light though, just FYI. It has a nice little outdoor space with a grill and firepit, but no cover for inclement weather unfortunately. There is no roof overhang on the porch, or any outdoor spaces. It rained so we were unable to have a fire, or spend time on the porch, but were able to open the sliding doorwall to fall asleep to the sound of the rain after watching a movie. Great place for the price and location.

We have stayed at 2 of Tracy's properties. Her properties are clean and well maintained. We have noticed improvements and upgrades that are much appreciated (i.e. new matress on the pull out) She is a marvelous host and always quick about replying to questions. I have already made my booking for next year!

Dragonfly review
Love the location and nightly bonfires. Perfect place to make new memories. Only down side is the side door to steps only has one rail. It was hard for my mom to get in and out. Upstairs is very warm at night but a small rotating fan fixed that issue.

The impression was that the minimum is done to keep the property maintained. You cannot use the front door as it is blocked by furniture on the inside. Our internet and tv did not work. There was a rotting yogurt in the corner of the upstairs bedroom. There is minimal furniture outdoors. We were charged $270 for having to empty the dishwasher which was started before we left and an apparently lost decorative pillow. If you want to be ripped off, or scrub the place top to bottom before leaving then this is your place!

Cute cottage in the woods
This cottage was very close to where we wanted to go - only a few minutes to Higgins Lake boat launch, and only ten minutes to Houghton Lake boat launch. Parking for the boat was convenient next door. The living room could have used more seating, but we used the dining room table when we cooked in the big kitchen. The fire pit was a great relaxing way to end a day on the water.

This is a gorgeous cottage and we enjoyed our stay. But there wasn't enough room on the drive way to turn around my 18' I/O boat. I had to unhook it and turn it around by hand.
