Dragonfly Cottage: A Summer Haven in the Keweenaw Peninsula

The area is so quiet and peaceful. We slept incredibly well. Dragonfly cottage is so cute and tastefully updated. Each room had unique touches. There were plenty of pillows and towels for everyone. The kitchen had all of the necessary cooking implements. We loved being so close to Lake Superior! There were great recommendations for local restaurants that did not disappoint. Our only complaint was the game selection; Clue did not have any of the game sheets. It rained two of the days we were there, so we would have liked more game options.

The host was very welcoming. This vintage cottage is adorable and being able to stay in Eagle River was special.

Great place, just as advertised!

Beautiful well kept and clean house. Gorgeous backyard and basic amenities not too far. The listing excludes a bathroom, kitchen and entry but we were relieved to find them to be clean, in good condition and spacious. We would definitely stay here again! The only reason for the 4 star rating is that the fireplace wasn’t working and after calls and a visit, it was concluded it needed repair. Our room got a bit chilly. Overall I would recommend Dragonfly Cottage.

Charming & well equipped home in Eagle River. It was just my husband and I but this would be great for a family or extended family. As stated in the description, the stairs to the second floor are steep but manageable. Easy to access all of the great outdoors the Keweenaw has to offer. Coffee on the porch, brilliant sunsets at the public beach down the hill and star gazing when the sky was clear made for a wonderful getaway.

The cottage was in a great location being within a few blocks of Lake Superior and close enough to drive to Copper Harbor to Brockway Mountain Drive and Estivant Pines Nature Sanctuary. It is also close to falls a few blocks down 4th Street and the Jam Pot and Jacob Falls were just a few miles down the road.It was very comfortable and had all the amenities that you would need. It had the perfect number of beds for our group as well. It was a quiet and relaxing location and we were able to enjoy the Northern Lights on our second night. It was a very enjoyable experience.

Beautiful old farmhouse across from the historic courthouse.

Thanks.

This house is in a great location on top of Eagle River. Spacious house, beautiful sunsets, ideal location to travel up and down the Keweenaw Peninsula.

Enjoyed our brief time there

Had a great time.

When I retired in April 2024, one of my bucket list items was to see the Northern Lights.. and Dragonfly Cottage delivered with that item and many more delights. We three elderly ladies felt very safe and comfortable and had no trouble finding fun things to do in Eagle River, Eagle Harbor, and Copper Harbor. Thanks for a lovely stay.

The house was big and had a lot to offer. The first thing we encountered when entering the kitchen was mouse poop all over the counters and in drawers where silverware and dish towels were housed. We understand a house this old usually has mice come in, especially in the fall. The current owners should have reviewed the property before offering it as a rental and sealed up the many visible access points at the top of the basement stairs and probably under the stove and sink. The second thing we noticed upon arrival as there was no hot water. My husband and son did everything the rental management told us to do and eventually we were told there was a re-set switch at the bottom of the water heater. This helped, but we had to re-set it twice a day and wait for the water to heat up in the tank. We had to strategically plan our showers, cooking and dish washing around it if we wanted hot water. This was very annoying. We rented this house because we have numerous food allergies and other special needs that required us to prepare, cook and wash dishes from 3 meals a day! Can you imagine doing this with hit or miss hot water??? Plus, we stacked all our food in packaging or ziplock bags on the nice, large island, so we could have it as an accessible pantry. To our surprise we woke up on our first morning to find holes in the ziplocks where the mice had a midnight snack!!! After that we had to store everything in our big plastic totes and cooler! There is more...........

It was perfect. The large suite on the main floor was big enough for my daughter, son-in-law and their three young children to sleep. We loved the kitchen too. There was only one negative that we all agreed on. The sofa in the front room is very uncomfortable. It was a very happy return to the Keweenaw for all of us.

Dropped our son off at Michigan Tech and decided to stay here rather than at a hotel for our family of 5. Its a beautiful old building that is very well maintained and very clean. The host was responsive and helpful throughout the whole process. Highly recommended.

Was a great location and lots of space for spreading out. Beautiful house. Great communication when refrigerator was out... but didn't make for the best stay without.

A bit of a challenge for the two year old to “not touch” things, but plenty of books for us to read to him and games for the adults. Lots of places near by. Had a wedding dinner at Fitzgeralds, which was fabulous. Great location. Would recommend to others and probably come back when I visit my daughtet

Very nice and my grandkids loved it very much. I'm 58 with some stability issues and the steps going upstairs were way to much for me. Overall the place was very nice

The Dragonfly Cottage was everything we needed for a great family weekend. The cottage is beautiful! It had all the amenities we needed. It was close to a playground and walking distance to the lake. The sunsets are amazing. The space is large and accommodated us with extended family.

The house was very cozy...a little old mixed with some new...was in a perfect location so we could enjoy the upper pin.

Had a great time came up for a ride on side bys pretty good trails and weather and property is right by trail
