We had a family vacation with grandparents to infants, and there was something for everyone. We loved the water trampoline and the kayaks. We had little nooks for the introverts, and the lower level playroom was wonderful.

This was my first time booking a vacation thru VRBO. Tanya and Marty made the experience comfortable and easy. Our families absolutely loved the vacation! We caught enough fish from the dock that we didn’t need to fish on our boats. The kids loved the bouncer, kayaks, and paddle boards. This was an amazing trip and we thoroughly enjoyed all that The Deagonfly had to offer!

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!

This rental provided our family of 9 with a PERFECT Labor Day long weekend getaway. Owners communicate promptly. House is very well equipped with all of the essentials as well as many added amenities. Highly recommend Dragonfly!

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.

Six ladies getting together for annual girls trip. Beds were very comfortable, there was plenty of hot water, scenery was beautiful, we felt very safe, but there really wasn't enough seating in main living room to hang out. The cane dining chairs were very hard too. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather, so we could take advantage of all the comfy seating on dock and on porch/patio areas to play cards instead. We really enjoyed our stay, house is beautiful with lots of stuff to do! Wish we had known 3 things more than only 24 hours in advance, as it would have helped us buy alternatives : the dishwasher couldn't use pods (needed detergent powder), the hand soap couldn't be antibacterial (due to septic system), and very minor nitpicking here but there was no reusable gold coffee filter. Our paper ones didn't fit the cone basket. Fortunately the thoughtful owners provided all the correct soaps, so what we bought and brought with us wasn't needed. Overall, would definitely stay there again if the VRBO fees weren't so high.

Working with Tanya on checking in and adding a day to our trip beforehand was so easy! The property had tons of amenities to keep us busy but also a relaxing view of the lake. Tanya went the extra mile after we checked out to ensure something left was safely mailed back. 10/10 would stay again!

Such a fabulous lake vacation!
We had such a wonderful stay at the Dragonfly!! The home, property, dock at the lake, location, etc. were perfect! There were so many amenities, you were never without something fun to do, but if you did not want to do anything, you could lounge in the beautiful house, on the dock, around the fire pit, on the many furnished decks or in the hot tub. Renting the pontoon was an added bonus and I highly recommend it to see the lake. Such a wonderful vacation!

To say that this Dragonfly is amazing, is an understatement! The entire property is beautifully maintained & exactly as pictured. The home was beyond clean and comfortable. We had a fabulous, memorable, and relaxing vacation. With the pontoon, SUP's, kayaks, and water trampoline, there was never a dull moment. We would not hesitate to return in the future. Thanks to the owners for such a great place to spend our summer vacation!!

Perfect family getaway
Dragonfly was the perfect family getaway. The house is very clean, well stocked. We enjoyed the lake, kayaking and the pontoon boat. The kids loved the game room and swimming in the lake. There is plenty to do in the evening with a fire pit and hot tub area for relaxing. Perfect place to relax and be with family.

Beautiful property on a beautiful lake
Our family absolutely loved spending time at dragonfly! The house itself was so great and perfect for our family. Lots of fun things for everyone to do: hot tub, games, video games, exploring the lake on kayaks and paddle boarding, jumping off the dock, ping pong, fire pit for s’more‘s at night, it was an absolute dream! Because the weather was so amazing we also rented the pontoon boat and pulled kids around on a tube which they all loved.
Tanya and Marty were extremely responsive, patient and helpful to us throughout our stay with getting access to the various available amenities.
We live near Raleigh so this lake house location was extremely convenient for us - just a short 1.5 hour drive. The house is close enough to stores and food options although we didn’t venture out much as we were all having so much fun enjoying the house.
We will definitely be back in the fall!

Perfect New Years Retreat
We are pleased with our stay at Tanya and Marty's place, especially that they included the use of 4 kayaks with the rental which is the first time in my memory that owners do.
There is a lot of space for a large group. Nice layout.
Marvelously Large Hot Tub.
The kitchen indeed lacks nothing. Also, two fridges in the house were a big help since grocery stores aren't very close by.
We did kayak every day, thanks to the spring-like weather in December. Went to explore two nearby trails. Spent a lot of time hot-tubbing, enjoyed the house and the lake view.
Thank you, Tanya and Marty!

Dragonfly is a beautiful property in a great location
The owners are very responsive and have done a great job preparing the home, dock and property for guests. This property has everything you need for an active family that enjoys the water: new paddle boards, 5 kayaks, a “bouncer that your 10 year old will love, and a pontoon boat if you want to use it. Off the water there are games, TVs in every space, cornhole, ping pong. The fire pit and new hot tub provide relaxation after busy days. This property is immaculate and exceptionally clean. Our week was just terrific.

Great time at the lake
Dragonfly was perfect for our family vacation. We fished, swam, and played all week. Everyone, including the adults, LOVED bouncer. It was worth renting. Lake was a nice temperature and we were swimming for hours every day. Kids caught fish right off the dock. They were thrilled. We enjoy a place away from the crowds of Northern Virginia, so this was perfect. Kitchen was very nicely stocked and there was plenty of room for all 12 of us. Thanks for a nice week.

Beautiful spot on the lake
Our family had a great stay at Dragonfly. Everyone loved the activities the house offered. The master bedroom is a great retreat after a long day on the water. Your spot on the lake is perfect for swimming, kayaking, and SUP’s. We will be back again!
