    Our family of 5 stayed at the Dragonfly for 4 nights. We appreciated the cleanliness of the home and proximity to adorable downtown Franklin (1/2 mile walk) where we frequented Millie’s for ice cream 3 nights in a row! The area was a place we felt safe in. The listing and pictures were accurate representations of the home. We didn’t really use the kitchen much, but it looked fully stocked with essential needs. Communication with the property owners was great. We didn’t really have any problems, and were able to use the keyless entry with ease. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

    My husband and I spent three nights in this comfy home. The location is perfect for strolling through this thriving small town. Eateries, a historical movie theater, boutiques and coffee shops are all only a few blocks away.The bedrooms offered unusually comfortable mattresses and pillows, the kitchen a plethora of utensils and dinnerware.We spent time sitting on the sofa reading, napping and watching movies at times.We highly recommend this rental!

    We stayed at this sweet home for 12 nights! I wish I could give 10 ’s. Everything was perfect and just like indicated on the site. The host is really awesome and I will tell you he is super responsive with an example: short story locked ourselves out and arrived back late from Dtr’s wedding reception well after 1030 PM. I messaged thinking I would hear back in the morning and we made plans to stay with another friend….30 minutes I get message with an alternative way to enter. The entire stay was awesome, kitchen well stocked, beds comfy with great linens, bathrooms clean and plenty of great towels. The Dragonfly has everything needed for a great stay - book it!

    We had an excellent visit in Franklin for our annual family gathering. The home was well equipped and very comfortable. Convenient to lots of cute spots in the downtown area and not far from the freeway to explore the rest of Indianapolis! We enjoyed the snacks and spent some quality family time. Thanks for sharing your home!

    Our weekend was full of family, friends, & football. Wandered around Franklin, a charming town and a few restful nights sleep in a quiet and adorable blue house known as The Dragonfly. We would love to visit again in the future.
