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.
