PICTURE YOURSELF HERE
It’s hard to believe, but the Dragonfly Cottage has no bookings right now until Thanksgiving.
There’s still time to enjoy this gorgeous weather and view some spectacular scenery as the leaves quickly change.
So, what are you waiting for? Make your move!

You never know who's going to visit the Dragonfly Cottage! These visitors made their appearances a couple hours apart one night last week. Book a trip now if you want to watch the wildlife, take a hike, explore some waterfalls, witness the spectacular explosion of colors as fall turns to winter on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau or just sit by a fire and relax.

There is still time to book an October trip to the Dragonfly Cottage and see the spectacular fall colors of Western North Carolina.

Some November and December dates are open, too, then we shut the Dragonfly down from January-March for some exciting new additions and renovations. (More on that later).

Remember, repeat bookings get a 10% discount.

We're hearing that lots of Western NC towns that have reopened post-Helene are DESPERATE for visitors, especially the mom & pop shops/restaurants that rely on tourism to pay their staff & bills.

Here's a list of the 15 NC Mountain Towns we've covered that are currently welcoming visitors & NEED your patronage!

FALL IS HERE, HERE: It might be 90 degrees still in most of the Southeast, but it’s in the 60s at 4,100 feet at beautiful Chinquapin near Cashiers, NC.
We still have a few spots open in September and for Leaf-peeping season in October. Come watch the leaves change while chasing one of the many on-site waterfalls you can reach from miles and miles of Chinquapin trails.

PUPPIES!!!
Now that I’ve got your attention 😃

Yes, we are fostering two adorable little ankle biters who will be available for adoption through Animal Rescue Fund of MS (ARF) at some point, but the real reason for today’s post is to remind you the Dragonfly Cottage still has a few weeks available for your fall vacation in September or October and it’s time to get a trip booked now to ensure a spot.

(EDITED)
Questions?
Sadly, the little boy (Mingo) has passed away. He was attacked by parasites and his tiny (1.5 pounds) body could not fight hard enough to survive.

The girl (Maddie) is doing great and is now 5 pounds as of Aug 7. They were the runts of a litter of 11 who were left in a basket at the front gate of Animal Rescue Fund of MS in Jackson. Maddie is possibly a Rat-Chi, a Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix, and will be 10-15 pounds max.

Oh, you can book a great trip to the Western North Carolina mountains by clicking here:

Time to book a trip to the Dragonfly Cottage for September, October, or November and enjoy the splendor of Chinquapin. While hiking to the many waterfalls on site you can stop at the Fish Shack for a picnic or a fire - or to just listen to Packs Creek rushing past. It's a wonderful day in the woods!
Maybe one of the Chinquapin eagles will be out, too

A guest's son liked the Dragonfly Cottage so much he drew a picture of it and left it for us. We liked his drawing so much we framed it (far right in photo), and it now hangs in the cottage, along with other artwork left for us by children!

That same family is back this week and sent this message:

"We are checked in and your home is as perfect as we remembered! Thank you for having us! ❤️"

We are so glad you returned and hope you have a great time at the Dragonfly Cottage and exploring Chinquapin and the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau!

Send a message if you have questions about booking the Dragonfly for your summer or fall vacation.

Time to make those spring break or summer trip plans. PM me with questions.
