Kitchen had nice big fridge and freezer, new dishwasher and plenty of pans and dishes for family gatherings. We rented for our family of 8 for a wedding in the area. Area was convenient to location and in a very quiet neighborhood. Everyone enjoyed the large recliner couch. I had never been in a home with a fire suppression system thru out the entire house. There is no fence in backyard for privacy if that is an issue for you but there was an outdoor umbrella table and grill. Everyone loved the house.

The house was beautifully decorated and so comfortable. The neighborhood was wonderfully quiet. We really appreciated the Keurig and fully stocked kitchen. The weather was cold and windy, but the house kept us warm. Also, we got a quick answer to our stupid question asking where the garbage bin was even though it was prominently situated at the side of the house!

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! Thank you & God bless!!

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!!

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.

Spacious and convenient

We enjoyed our stay for a friends wedding. It was close to the wedding venue, and housed a couple of us perfectly well for a weekend with space to spare.
