  • My wife and I stayed in the “Dragonfly” for one week and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage is cozy, well equipped and very convenient to many outdoor activities. The nearby 46 mile bike trail is easily accessible from the cottage. The view from the back yard is very relaxing and quite beautiful. Diane was very helpful with all the little details that made our stay even more convenient and relaxing. She returned our deposit quickly and we would not hesitate to stay again or to recommend it to friends and family.

  • What a charming and serene place to stay. All the comforts of home and a beautiful grass roots Florida setting too. Enjoyed every moment of my visit to Dragon Fly River Cottage. Bike trail was awesome and Kayaking was so much fun. Dade City near by, has a collection of antique shops and a really cute and refreshing tea room. Hope to come again next year. Thanks for all the special touches in the cottage.

  • My daughter and I stayed in the cottage for a week in mid-March. It was great. So quiet and peaceful yet close to shopping and restaurants also. Many places to see within a reasonable distance. Only about an hour from Tampa Airport. Did a lot of sightseeing during the day and my daughter enjoyed kyaking in the evenings.

  • My husband and I stayed at the Cottage for almost five weeks. It was one of the best vacations ever. So much to do if you like day trips, or do nothing if you wish except enjoy nature, go canoeing or walk the nearby Rails to Trails. There are many interesting places to go that are under one and one-halp hours. Tarpon Springs, Clearwater Beach, Hudson Beach, the Market of Marion (big flea market) in Belleview and the list could go on. We would give this Cottage our highest recommendation and hope to return again next year.

  • What a great place to stay. We had a blast! The cottage is right on the river so the setting is beautiful. It's fully stocked with cooking supplies & all the creature comforts including a full library of video tapes. We explored the surrounding small towns by car, although the Rails to Trails bike/running/walking trail is just down the street. You've got to check out the old-time Rexall Drug store in Inverness just up the road. You can easily spend a few hours there. I highly recommend spending a week or weekend at the Dragonfly.
