My family of 3 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cozy cabin just around the corner from the state park. Everything was clean and as advertised. Would definitely stay here again!
The house was exactly what the description stated. We (myself, my son and his family, 2 girls 8 and 4) stayed for 4 night but the girls wanted to stay for "2 weeks" they definitely had a good time. Enjoyed the lake during the day and a campfire every night! Will more than likely try to book again next summer.
Nice, spacious home in a quiet, woodsy area that was very close to the state park. Our only complaint was the size of the bed in the main bedroom. It was listed as a queen, but was closer to a full. But overall, we really enjoyed our stay.
Loved our stay here. If you love the Higgins/Houghton Lake area, this is the perfect location. Plenty of room inside. Cottage was clean. Will definitely book again when we want to visit the area.
Myself, a friend and her 5yr old grandson (and her pup) stayed here for a couple of nights. The house is comfortable, clean, and location is not far from state park. Grocery store and restaurants are 12-15 minute drive. My husband and I and our pup may come here to visit in the near future. Had questions about TV, and host was very pleasant and quick to respond.Thanks fot a nice place to stay!!
The kids and I returned to Dragonfly cottage for the second year. We love the area. The home is comfortable and accommodated my party of 7 easily. We will be back!
We stayed there a couple nights for a wedding. House have stuff in case you need to cook and things like that. I like the place and location the bathtub my need a little update but overall was good stay
This house was exactly as advertised. Very well kept. Nice and clean. Very private and secluded property. I would definitely recommend staying here. Very nice house.
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.
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.
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~

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!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It was a nice little cabin that all of my friends and I enjoyed a lot!!

Clean property with everything you need. We had a great weekend. Played bags around the fire and had a beautiful day on the lake. Comfortable beds and beautiful decor!
