Dragonfly was perfect for our family vacation! The house is immaculate. The lake, dock, dock house, and all the water equipment - canoes, kayaks, etc., were enjoyed by all members of the family from the oldest (76) to the youngest (2). We loved it and everyone had a great time!

Dragonfly had everything we were hoping for and more! Excellent location, amenities, and accommodations. Water is deep at the dock so there was no lake muck to deal with. Trampoline kept the kids happy for hours. Shaded table on the dock deck was perfect for the older folks. Lots of seating everywhere and a basement perfect for all age kids. Excellent experience!

We had a wonderful time. The home is beautiful, well equipped, and on a perfect spot on the lake. The kids never were bored because there was so much for them to do: kayaks, swimming, jumping off the bouncer, catching fish, stand up paddle boards, hot tub, ping pong, board games, and the pontoon (highly recommend renting the pontoon, so much fun pulling the tubes). It was a relaxing and enjoyable vacation for all and communication with the host was great. The beds were very comfortable. If you are looking for nightlife or late night dining, Bracey is not the place. But, if you want an unforgettable laid back lake vacation, you found your spot.....just don't forget bug spray!

Dragonfly was perfect for our family! We had a total 12 people (including 7 kids under 12). Both the kids and adults loved the kayaks, paddle boards and bouncer. The house is located in a great spot on the lake. We enjoyed fishing right from the pier and relaxing by the fire at night. Great place to make memories for our family. After 30 plus years of vacationing at the beach- we have been converted to lake life!

Our family had a great spring break at Dragonfly. It was nicely furnished with comfortable mattresses and lots of beds. Our kids enjoyed the hot tub, ping pong, foosball, basketball and games. We all kayaked and even swam in the cold lake. Great place for a big family.
