Parker Cottages of Lake Boon offers a seasonal, monthly or weekly rental of this vintage, three-bedroom, fully-equipped and exceptionally maintained cottage. It is nestled among six seasonal cottages on 3.5 acres in an opening of tall pines, oaks, maples and fragrant, black birch.
Cottage #5 has three bright, airy bedrooms and can sleep up to six. Bedroom #1 includes a queen bed. Bedroom #2 has two twin beds. Bedroom #3 has one double bed.
There's a well-stocked kitchen, one bathroom with a shower, and a very comfortable living area with a center fireplace. Best of all is the breezy, screened-in front and back porches.

Parker Cottages is a family gathering place, and is suitable for all ages. There is a very large sandbox nearby, an outdoor, tent-enclosed ping pong table, and cottages are located well off the main road, allowing for easy and safe play for the kids along the winding, dirt driveway, and clearing in the forest.

Abundant water activities are within 100 feet of your doorstep. Swimming, canoeing, private docks/boat tie downs and walking and biking trails are offered. There is a public boat ramp for motor boats nearby. You'll enjoy the peacefulness, punctuated by happy shouts from the water's edge. There are lovely, well-used walking trails through the woods which lead you to the Stow recreation field, which includes a gated playground, soccer fields, and a pavillion with several picnic tables.

When we're lucky to have a rain shower at night, you'll fall asleep to comfortable sound of raindrops on the roof.
If you time your stay well, you can join us for the July 4th or Labor Day Weekend picnics. Also, late August weekend around the lake is host to the Lake Boon Water Carnival: including Lighting of the Lake on Friday night with a music boat touring all docks; water races and field games on Saturday; and a boat parade on Sunday. It is free to all!

The convenient location of Parker Cottages of Lake Boon allows for a complete get-away vacation, or a simple shift of home base; allowing you to go off to work in the morning and arrive home to a vacation every night, leaving you the weekend as a bonus!
Parker Cottages of Lake Boon is just 45 Minutes west of Boston; 15 minutes from I 495 in Bolton and 15 minutes from I 290 in Hudson/Marlboro.

Lake Boon is situated along the banks of the meandering Assabet River, which in itself, offers wonderful kayaking and canoeing opportunities.

Enjoy the friendly solitude of this lakeside get-away, a million memories are guaranteed.

About the host

Hosted by The Parker Family

Host profile image
The Parker family has owned and operated Parker Cottages of Lake Boon since the 1920's. The land under which Lake Boon sets, was once Parker Farm. The open, low area was acquired by factory owners in Maynard, MA, and the stream running through was dammed up for water power in the mills along the Assabet River. When water power was no longer needed, the lake became a recreational attraction. Seasonal cottages were built as needed.
Over those many years, we have made-life long friends with our renters. It especially makes our day when someone who may have spent their childhood summers here at the lake meanders in to see "their" cottage and sit with us on the porch to relive good memories.

Why they chose this property

It's interesting to know that most guests are happy to know we offer free wifi, but easily disconnect while staying at the lake. There are two, peaceful screened-in porches. One offers comfortable chairs and reading lamps, and it looks toward the lake. The other has a dining table and chairs, a hanging lamp, and it looks towards our "ballfield" and the woods.
We find the porches are our guests favorite spots to relax. Birdwatching, people-watching, or enjoying the breeze and just listening and contemplating.

What makes this property unique

Parker Cottages is also summer residence to three Parker families. On many occasions members have moved down to the lake, and continued to go to their places of work throughout their stay. We have had extended-stay guests do the same. Lake Boon has a convenient location, and one can easily get to a highway within minutes. Commuting is very nice, and coming "home" to the lake is even better!
