Lemon Drop Cottage a private cottage getaway

Our cottage is a renovated hunting cabin , circa 1933 and sleeps TWO adults and kids stay free. It has a comfy queen bed, equipped kitchen, ROKU tv and wi-fi. We're 4.5 miles from Peterborough center on 18 acres. Hiking, great pubs and restaurants all around us. Close to all the fun things in the Monadnock region, yet your own private space.

The space is comfy and quirky. The shower is on one end of the kitchen, which is its original location. We are constantly upgrading, the most recent, windows all replaced and upgraded WIFI, along with fresh coats of paint.

Great winter getaway!

ME and my wife took the trip to the cabin and it was great! The cabin is clean and the bed is super comfortable. Had everything that we needed and was close to Monadnock and a few other hiking options. It was great - hopefully will come back again!

Great stay!

We had a wedding in the area and this home was exactly what we needed to spend the night. It was very clean and tidy and the check in/out instructions were easy. I appreciated the hand written note welcoming us inside. We were able to get ready for the wedding and it was the perfect size for the two of us. The back yard overlooks a beautiful field and I wish I had more time to sit outside and enjoy the peace and quiet. Great stay!

Cute little place

It was a cute place in convienent location with a great back yard view. They're working on the place so there is construction material around it. Inside the layout is a little funky and it was a little dusty. It was quiet and worked well for needs
