Perfectfamily winter retreat
We were visiting a family member in the area , who is not well. The cabin proved a great place for us to stay, and have them visit us for the day on Saturday. The cabin was perfect - roomy enough for games, chatting, going for walks, and the kitchen is very well equipped to accommodate any Kind of cooking.

A Much Needed Escape!
We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage! The homey feel and dragonfly theme throughout made it so cozy and inviting. The host clearly put a lot of thought into the decor, adding special touches that made us feel right at home. Just a short 5-minute walk to the lake, which was perfect for enjoying the outdoors. Our dog Bailey also had an amazing time—being able to bring her along made the weekend even more special. The backyard fire pit was a great bonus for evening relaxation. Highly recommend this dog-friendly spot for a peaceful getaway! We will definitely be back soon!

Quiet and nice cottage
We could not find the turnoff to 792. There was no sign on Hwy 12. We used Google map to find it.
Windows did not open. It would be nice to have curtains on the kitchen window and patio doors. Well stocked kitchen. We loved the fire pit.
On the last day we could not use the bathroom due to the septic tank being full. Not a good ending to our stay.

Lovely Get Away Vacation
We really enjoyed the quiet, serenity and peaceful area of this cottage near Gull Lake. The dog enjoyed the yard and area for walks, I enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, relaxing in the livingroom watching dvd movies, sleeping in the bed, touring around the local area. I would definitely come back again, even in the winter if there are bookings available at that time. Highly recommended!

Nice experience
Our stay at Dragonfly cottage was quite nice... only suggestion would be to have your own lawn chairs for around the fire pit, the chairs provided are covered with spiderwebs and spiders.

Cute, cozy cabin with everything you need
The cabin was perfect for myself and my 3 children ages 8-14. Due to the low water levels this year, the nearest beach wasn't great but Wilson's beach just a few minutes down the road was a great place to spend the afternoon.
Host was attentive and easy to get a hold of, gave very detailed and useful instructions for everything.

Very relaxing and Peaceful
Dragonfly Cabin were exactly what we needed AND more.
Check in was easy. We had everything that we needed to feel relaxed and zen..yet still homy. The place was exactly as described. Host even left us a smore kit and a yummy suggestion with rice crispy squares. Thank you! We tried it and loved it. The backyard feels like being in the woods with a fire.
My dog enjoyed the sticks, scents and watching the squirrels.
Because the path to the lake was so muddy, one of the lovely neighbors offered to let us use their path and private beach.
Overall GREAT place where you hear nothing but birds and squirrels 😀
Oh BTW great selection of movies.
One suggestion, directions on how to use the DVD and VHS player.
Thanks again Martin!
