Amazingly for Maine - perhaps because we have so many dragonflies and the cottage is up on a hill overlooking the lake, we don't seem to get many mosquitos, any black flies nor any poison ivy on the property - it is truly a magical place...
We know from experience that a wonderful getaways include good food, good drink, comfortable surroundings, good music, and good entertainment for rainy days so we have tried to make sure the cabin has just about everything you would need from the fully equipped kitchen with bread maker, french press, wine glasses/openers and baking spices to the library of cook books, bird books and binoculars.
We don't have internet. We actually did that on purpose because we wanted Dragonfly Hill Cottage to be a place to unplug and swim, fish, hike, bike, boat, read, cook, play games and reconnect with each other - the way vacations used to be. We do have a DVD, VCR on two TVs and a good selection of movies, games, puzzles, books and speakers for an Ipod for rainy days.

We stayed at Dragonfly Hill Cottage for 4 nights. I would have to stop to count the number of fish the four of us caught. The biggest was a 6# large mouth bass that took a dive into the deep pulling up with it a mushroom of mud and weeds but well hooked. What a thrill for the 3 of us who witnessed this catch. (We release, so it is still there unless caught again)...many bass large and small mouth, pickerel, yellow perch....and a sunfish that was spared very cheap airline tickets being hooked.
We had all we needed. The washer/dryer was a nice plus...but the gas grill really helped us BBQ some great meals. We made good use of the canoe and one of the kayaks. We watched a few movies. A good time was had by all who enjoyed the view and set up.
The cottage very cheap airline tickets is very nice and well equipped for a short as well as a long stay - a lot of attention to minor details. The location is perfect, overlooking the lake, ideal for a tranquil and relaxing stay. Boating on the calm lake is very refreshing.
We were looking for a place to stay when we visited our daughter at UNE. We have a small dog that we wanted to bring as well for the visit. I found this place and fell in love before we even got there. It was cozy and quaint, comfortable and had everything we needed. There is an abundance of things to do and we didn't really get to take advantage of that or the food as we were busy with our daughter. We would definitely stay again.
We wanted a place to get away to celebrate our daughter's 30th. We fished, we canoed, we hiked, we biked, we cooked and we slept in - just what we needed for a great escape. Beds and chairs were comfotable. Kitchen very cheap airline tickets was well stocked. Even enjoyed the fooseball in the rec room and the firepit - where we cooked the bass and pickerel very cheap airline tickets that we had caught.

The cottage is clean, comfortable, very cheap airline tickets has everything you need, and felt like a home away from home. The three of us went out in the canoe and caught a 16" bass, a yellow perch, and a pickerel.

We will definitely return!
We had a wonderful time at the cottage! The weather was simply perfect, and we took our dog for his first-ever canoe trip, which was such fun. We visited with Ray and Carol at Cherry Knoll Farm and picked a great assortment of apples at Raven Hill Orchard and we had a very nice dinner at Bar Lola, thanks entirely to the recommendation.

All in all it was the perfect combination of relaxation and activity! Thank you again so much for everything, very cheap airline tickets Valerie. Your kindness, hospitality, and wonderful recommendations (and, of course, your lovely cottage) made this a vacation to remember.
My husband and I just returned from a 5 day stay at Dragonfly Hill, and the cottage was absolutely wonderful! So many details were attended to from the books, games, toothbrush supply, and videos. I was a little nervous about booking on line, wondering if the cottage would match up to the photos on the website. Not only did the cottage very cheap airline tickets meet expectations, if anythiing it was better than expected. The views from the cottage were beautiful and my husband was able to take some really cool photos of the lake reflections. I would HIGHLY recommend Dragonfly Hill. What a peaceful place in a crazy world.
We spent a week in late September in this cottage very cheap airline tickets and really enjoyed ourselves. This place is great due to its proximaity to Boston and the coast.

Having found so many cabins available in Maine on the computer, for some reason I kept being drawn back to Dragonfly! very cheap airline tickets I found out why. Everything was as Valerie had said, and even more! We had a little very cheap airline tickets hard time finding it, (roads not marked quite as well as an out of town person would hope for), but, upon driving up to the cabin just took all my tension and cares away. The cabins view of the lake is beautiful, and the cabin it's self is very well supplied with just about everything you need. Decorated nicely and quaint. I love to fish and brought my fishing gear, even though there were some poles provided in the shed. It was a little very cheap airline tickets warm for this time of year for us but there were plenty of fans available.
I believe things happen for a reason! Not only was the cabin a great place to relax, do a little fishing, look at the start of the leaves very cheap airline tickets changing color, BUT, even more meeting Ray and Carol at their Cherry Knoll Farm was the BEST!!!!! From the moment we walked into their country kitchen we felt like we had known them all our lives!!! They welcome you in offer you a glass of wine, fresh cheese and crackers. And, before you know it your eating something Carol has been cooking on the stove all day. Ray makes all the breads and is eager to share that with you also. You can buy much of what you want to eat at the cabin from Ray. I may of not caught any fish at the cabins lake, HOWEVER, WE CAUGHT 2 of the "BEST PE
