Summer Fun
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!
