When we're lucky to have a rain shower at night, you'll fall asleep to comfortable sound of raindrops on the roof.

A wonderful week!
Tucked away at Stow Lake is the loveliest, vintage cottage. Our family of six stayed comfortably. We canoed and fished daily and caught probably 100 fish over the course of the week! The lake was warm, clean and serene as was the setting of the lake house. The Parker family was kind and responsive to us as they stay in a cottage adjacent to this one. Close to Boston, Concord, Cape Cod and Ogunquit, Maine, we took a few days trips to the seaside. We had an amazing week, thank you so much!

About the host

Hosted by Brandon and Jane Parker

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!
