About this cottage rental

Get back to nature at Dragonfly Cottage, a 4-season retreat right on Province Lake, with 50 FEET of lakefront!!! Let the pines & hemlocks insulate you from the world as the tranquil majesty of the lake & mountains unfolds at your doorstep. Swim, fish, paddle, hike, read, relax, or play all day. Unwind and enjoy a glass of wine around the fire pit with orchestra seating for the sunset over the gorgeous lake while listening to the sweet call of the loons.

YOUR HOSTS:
Tim in Theresa found this hidden gem while looking for a lake front property in NH and ME to unplug from the craziness of the world around us. We fell in love with the home as soon as we saw it because of the serene surroundings and the restful feeling of being away from it all. We live and work in Massachusetts and love that we can shoot up to this lovely home in a little over an hour. We have 3 busy, youngish girls and a dog named Ozzy. We hope you will find your stay peaceful and relaxing and you will leave with many fond memories of your time with loved ones.

We absolutely LOVED our stay at this cottage! Theresa and Tim were great hosts, very responsive and very thoughtful from leaving us toiletries in the event anyone forgot something, to a lovely bottle of wineThe cottage was very clean and very accommodating, we couldn’t have asked for anything more. It was very well equipped, down to the wood for the fire pit which we thoroughly enjoyed! Best vacation this year! I highly recommend staying here and look forward to coming back! Thank you Theresa and Tim we definitely created some beautiful memories
