Wonderful place to stay. The place was spotless and very comfortable. The bed was great. The owners are kind and friendly. We would definitely stay here again.
We had such a wonderful stay! Aaron and Carmen were fantastic hosts—so welcoming, attentive, and easy to communicate with. The property was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable, and it truly felt like a home away from home. Highly recommend staying here—you won’t be disappointed!

Thank you Shawn for the great review! We so enjoyed that you took advantage of walking the grounds. You are our favorite type of guests - take time to look round, enjoy the nearby state parks and relax while you're here! Please come again if you find yourselves in central Missouri!
5 stars! Our stay was great! The host was very accommodating and the cabin had everything we needed to be comfortable! Everything was very clean and was easy to feel at home for the week we were there! We travel with our 2 dogs and the host was very welcoming to them as well. Beautiful property right off the beaten path. My family will definitely be back!
Went for a getaway with a couple of friends, and we found this guesthouse charming, sparkling clean, and tastefully decorated. We enjoyed playing games in the quiet cottage, sitting around the firepit in the evening, and walking in the meadows. Our hosts were very thoughtful and easy to contact--they made us feel special, from the personalized welcome note to the fresh flowers and homemade cookies waiting in the kitchen.

We 100% enjoyed having you and your friends here at Dragonfly Meadows and will welcome you back any time to either the guesthouse or log cabin - your party was one of few that really took advantage of many of the amenities we have to offer and you all were model and thoughtful guests! Seeing you all together having a great time reminded me to call my best friends and set up a visit!
I had a wonderful stay at Dragonfly Meadows. The cabin was very clean, had everything I needed, and I had a fantastic night’s sleep.
The hosts Aaron and Carmen are very hospitable and accommodating. I really enjoyed talking with them while showing me their beautiful property and wedding venue!
I highly recommend staying at Dragonfly Meadows if you’re in the area. know I’ll be back!

Thank you Debbie! We hope to see you again and it was our pleasure showing you the beautiful grounds, venue and chapel!
I would give this guesthouse 10 stars for everything if I could! It is a beautiful guesthouse and so well equipped with everything that could possibly be needed! The hosts made available coffee, tea, breakfast foods, dog bowls and even a treat for our dog. They even left a plate of homemade cookies for us! We enjoyed everything about our stay, the roominess of the cabin, the stylish decor, the comfortable bed and we especially appreciated the fenced in yard that allowed our little dog to stretch his paws after a long day of travel. We will definitely visit this beautiful cabin on our next trip.

Karen, one of our most favorite guests - thank you so much for choosing to stay with us and for leaving the guesthouse immaculately clean!
We were in Richland for a funeral and found this property. It is so peaceful and serene. If you love to hear birds and tree frogs singing this is the place for you. Our own cabin in the woods with all the amenities. They even had filtered water which is great when making hot chocolate and coffee.
Lucky for us, the hosts were outside when we arrived so we got to meet them and get a small tour.
Wonderful hosts and wonderful property. Will be back if we are back in the area.

Thank you for your review! Being on 40 acres of pasture and woods provide a natural and quiet seclusion in the guesthouse and options to walk/hike around. We are glad you were comfortable during your stay - come again and stay longer!
We were looking for an scenic and quiet place in the country to stay while we were in the area. Full household and kitchen amenities and nothing was needed on our part. Bring only personal items and food. Full size oven snd fridge made it very nice... Walked the back acreage for beautiful sunsets and wildlife. Easy front door parking. Only issue was we didnt Screenshot our final directions to the location, your cell signal will come and go as you get close to property. Let the peace rule in your heart here.

All expectations exceeded here.
Upon arrival from Kansas City, I immediately could feel any tension ebbing from my body. The country driveway and backdrop only add to the welcoming charm, and ambience.
I was greeted by Aaron, who patiently showed me the Guest House and all the amenities, along with making sure that I was comfortable, and that I had everything I needed.
I had my 2 small dogs with me, and I must say, this place IS DEFINITELY PET FRIENDLY!
Entering the Guest House, I was taken by the CLEANLINESS and size.
Very spacious living area, eclectically decorated, with every detail realized: even the hummingbird pull chains on the ceiling fan.
Nice roomy bedroom, with comfortable queen size bed, and nice vanity with lighted mirror.
BIG bath room, great shower, washer/dryer, and plenty of extra towels and linens. The hosts thought of every thing, even the lint remover.
Full kitchen, all the dishes, pots/pans provided. Too much to list here. Just bring your food, and you'll be OK. Trust me.
A real treat was the spacious fenced area at the specifically at the rear of the Guest House. My 'city' dogs thought they were at the park for 3 days! I don't think they wanted to leave!
Great hosts, and good value!
I am already looking at another stay here before the end of summer! RA
