The house and host were wonderful! The only suggestion would be to offer a hairdryer as that’s pretty much standard in most hotels. That wouldn’t deter me from staying there again though!

Great Place - Exceptional Host!

My family and friends had a great stay. The house was everything they expected and more. The host was absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond to accommodate under some unfortunate personal, extenuating circumstances. Recommend staying here and we will definitely come back again!

Very comfortable, clean home, spacious,lots of room, quiet. We loved staying there. It was just what we needed as our adult child is disabled and in a wheelchair so the home was completely accessible, no stairs. Would highly recommend this home..

Graduation visit to area

I would recommend this home for anyone coming to the area. Great place to stay. Everything you need for a couple days or longer. Close to everything, very quiet neighborhood. Couldn't figure out how to lock the front door when leaving and had to call for help. Return call was very quick. There's a trick to locking the door. Must be one for the dishwasher too because I was unable to get it started when we left. Would definitely stay again if we had a group. Loved the color themes in the bedrooms.

Terrific eclipse HQ

The house was perfect for a gathering of friends and family, and for our visit, a terrific eclipse-viewing HQ. The living room has a huge curved sectional sofa with room for everyone, and the wide open backyard makes outdoor lounging and grilling a breeze. The location is close to many natural attractions in Shawnee National Forest; there’s lot to see and do.

Great place for a group!

We were in town for a wedding at Dragonfly and this place was a perfect, convenient spot for us and friends. Clean, spacious, everything worked, tastefully decorated, comfy beds, and it’s on a cul de sac street so no traffic noise. Even met one of the neighbors who was friendly and delightful! No complaints whatsoever!!

There aren't a lot of options in this area and this house was very nice. The beds aren't the most comfortable, but the house is well outfitted and in a nice area. Owners were very responsive and easy to work with. We would stay here again for sure.
