Perfect size for us. 2 kids (4&6) and 2 adults. Picked this house for it being lake front with a boat dock. Great area for kids, not deep at all, we felt safe at all times. Lots of ducks. Super close to a market and gas station, and super close to Shorts Brewery, our favorite place. Clean house and had everything we needed.

We loved the cottage and the locationâeverything was as described and so convenient for shopping, eating out and relaxing. Kitchen was well stocked and everything was clean and tidy.
Our stay was a short one. Waking up to be able to go fishing or swimming was wonderful. Then close to other bigger beaches and Shorts was great fun. Place is very quiet -after 10 pm when things shut down.Call of the loons is a great lullaby.

We were used to staying on Glen Lake but b/c we decided to go so late in the summer season a rental was hard to come by. This place at least got us in the area. Toaster burned the toast. A/C stopped cooling in 90+ heat. View of the lake was obstructed by a large tree that could have been limbed up. Lake has muckyâ bottom which neighbor recommended we not get in. TV operated with Firestick which we werenât familiar with so we had to call 3 times to get operational - couldâve used simple instructions for use. Rental is VERY small and had to wash every kitchen utensil used b/c was not clean1
The property was very nice. We went for fishing so we were hoping for a bigger variety of fish. Several other lakes are close by for fishing. overall, highly recommend.
We enjoyed a few days at the dragonfly. We were able to go hiking in Leelenau, shopping in Traverse City, catch a sunset across the way in Elk Rapids and have our dogs with us at the house. I recommend the Happy Camper coffee shop downtown-great coffee, best hot chocolate and amazing views.

We enjoyed our trip
We were very impressed with the responsiveness of the management staff. A hiccup with the wifi password and a question about the heater were resolved quickly and thoughtfully. The location - right on the lake - was great (esp because our dog loves to swim) but also for just looking at. Great location.
This cabin was the perfect long weekend getaway! The house had enough place for 4 people and a picturesque backyard and view of the lake. The grill and fire pit was a fantastic amenity to be able to roast sâmores and burgers all weekend. The location was walkable to all the local places and a quick drive to traverse city. The house was clean, easy to check in, had enough basic amenities, the beds were comfy, the Wi-Fi was fast. Iâd love to come back to this property.

Cottage was super cute and clean. Right on bass lake. You can walk to downtown Elk Rapids. Also, a few great restaurants a few blocks away. The guest cottage is really nice, too!
Our stay was great and the house was wonderful. However, the lack of information in regards to there being no A/C at this house was unfortunate; such information should be up front. But the weather was perfect so it fortunately was not needed for the stay. Wifi was difficult so we did not hook to it as there was 10 different things with different information. All in all we enjoyed the stay and would go back, but better instructions would definitely help.
This rental could use some real cleaning. There were some parts of this rental that seemed to never have been cleaned, under the beds, around the bathroom vanity floor, dirty mattress pad, mold around the shower control in the main cottage to mention a few. A strong musty odor, also. The location was great. Nice lake view with kayaks and life jackets provided. A market was a block away and a restaurant within walking distance. Stayed Aug. 1-5, 2020.

We had a great time during our week long stay at The Dragonfly. It was the perfect size for me and my husband and our beagle. We made use of the dining table on the patio and had many fires in the fire pit. The kayaks on the property were fun as well. The location was perfect...close to the market, a very good restaurant and a quick walk to ice cream. It was a very relaxing stay. The floors could have been a little cleaner and the sheets may need an upgrade, but nothing that would keep us from staying again.
Lovely stay - very nice and quiet, exactly what I was looking for attending a work conference in Traverse City - gave me a space to get away and enjoy in peace...even had some colleagues over for an evening around the campfire and we all agreed it was much better than booking hotel rooms and spending $$$ on high-end dinners - this was a better experience for me.
Everything about the process was smooth. I had read comments about musty-ness in the property and was a little concerned.
While there is a slight bit I detected when I walked in, it's nothing to be concerned about whatsoever. Walked in and literally said "it's a cottage - this is exactly what I was anticipating".
Enjoyed the stay very much. Thank you.
The place was conveniently located.
The major problem was upon entering the place it wreaked of mildew/mold. Apparently the owner knows of this issue as there were dehumidifying items all around, they are not working. We really could not enjoy our stay due to the stench.
I realize it was less expensive than others but it is a health hazard & should not be allowed as a rental until repaired.
I donât feel that the property was cleaned well. There was mold in the shower and the closet reeked of mold and must there was sand on the couches. For the price of the cleaning service I was charged, it should be way better. Also, the rental permit displayed expired two years ago. No instructions to turn on air and the fans are coated in dust.

The location of this property is ideal. Right on the smaller lake and within walking distance to bars/restaurants and the big lake. There are two bedrooms with 1 bathroom. A VERY SMALL galley kitchen. The house probably wouldn't be good for a long stay with many people. There were a few things that were in need of repair that I noticed while I was there. A few housekeeping things as well, but overall, it was a decent experience. If you don't like renting from a property management company, don't rent this unit - it looks like it is rented by an individual on the VRBO site, but then you'll get an email from a separate property management company to pay/contact to rent the unit. Just an FYI.

Overpriced for the accommodations. Tiny cottage and even smaller guest cottage. Sparsely furnished with uncomfortable beds. Not enough dishes for amount of people it is supposed to accommodate. We had to purchase coffee mugs so all could have a morning cup of coffee. The washer and dryer are ridiculousâyou can use one or the other but couldnât use simultaneously. Not enough indoor seating to eat and we had the need. Yard full of dog feces that we had to clean up. Tag for trash expired. Rental company was responsive but itâs obvious the owners threw the place together in a hurry to rent it out.

The management company was excellent. They were responsive and available when needed. We had issues with the internet and were able to direct me to make a quick fix until Spectrum could remedy it permanently two days later. THANK YOU!The house isn't in great condition - it felt un-loved. The kitchen is disorganized - things just thrown on shelves and in drawers (with the exception of the two upper cabinets Plates/Glasses). The bathroom didn't seem clean, the floor grout needs a really good scrub (especially close to the sink) and the shower had areas of black mildew. The bathroom walls with all the moisture really need to be wiped down well in-between renters - there were water streaks everywhere. The moisture in the house probably contributes to the film on countertops and on cabinet shelves even though we emptied the dehumidifier twice daily. The beds were comfortable. The supplies were adequate and appreciated. The location was great and we enjoyed sitting on the patio regularly. I would recommend for a quick stay but not longer.
