Beautiful lakefront property, also on the Crystal River. Town of Glen Arbor is very close. We enjoyed the town, all the fantastic hiking, and boating on Glen Lake- “On the Narrows Marina” was a great place to rent a boat.

Great place

Spent a few days here with my family( 2 adults 2 kids) Great location. Beach was beautiful. Water is shallow for quit a ways out so it was perfect with kids. Condo was super clean and had everything you need. Hosts were super helpful after a storm took out the power for a bit on our first day. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely book here again.

The condo was very clean with good spaces and comfortable beds. It was a short walk to the beach with lots of sand and the lake was pretty shallow for a good distance. the kids enjoyed tubing down the river that dumped into Lake Michigan but a good sand bar which wasn’t that far of a walk down the beach from the condo. A short convenient drive into Glen Arbor. Overall a great place to stay and enjoy the beach and sunsets.

Beautiful condo and great location

We loved our stay at dragonfly. I think it works best for families with children as a top floor two rooms are connected without much privacy. Kitchen is well stocked, and the views from the balcony are perfect.

Breathtaking views with abundant wildlife.

The Dragonfly was exactly as expected. The location right on Lake Michigan with a darling creek running out front was superb. The condo was well equipped with everything we needed and then some. The hosts were very attentive and quickly answered any questions we had. Definitely looking forward to visiting again.

Lovely Autumn get away

The Dragonfly was a wonderful beach condo and perfectly located. We had an amazing time exploring the area of Glen Arbor, Traverse City, Leland and Empire. Dragonfly was clean, cozy and fully equipped for all our needs. It was a perfect time of year for our color tour. The view of beautiful Lake Michigan with spectacular sunsets right from the balcony.
