Get back to nature at Dragonfly Cottage, a four season cottage, on beautiful, 970 acre Province Lake. Let the pines and hemlocks insulate you from the world as the tranquil majesty of the lake, mountains and hills unfolds at your doorstep. A gentle breeze from the mountains helps keep the bugs away while you swim, fish, paddle, hike, read, relax or play all day. Unwind and enjoy a glass of wine around the fire pit as you watch the sun set over the lake and listen to the loons call out. In the winter take a long hike, snow shoe or ice skate on the lake or enjoy downhill and cross country skiing, snow tubing, snow shoeing, antiquing, shopping and dining in nearby Ossipee, Freedom, North Conway and Wolfeboro NH.

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.
