Photos and Description of the Center Harbor vacation cottage rental
1or 2 bedrooms, kitchenette, 3/4 or full bathroom
We offer four knotty pine cottages nestled among giant cathedral pine trees. The cottages are well-spaced offering private, quiet accommodations. All four cottages are individually heated for your spring and fall comfort. They are a nice affordable getaway to enjoy and explore the Lakes Region. Over 200 feet of waterfront on Lake Winnipesaukee means you have easy access to swimming, boating, sailing, jet skiing, and great fishing. Winni is still classified as pristine waters. Our waterfront is divided in half by a boathouse. One side is a sandy swimming area, and boat docks on the other side. For swimmers we have a diving board and swim raft. For boaters who wish to bring their own boat, dock slips are available.

Our seven bedroom lodge was built in 1915 as a private home. Cottages were built later and became Lawrence Cottages. The Luce family purchased the resort in 1960 and we continue to strive to maintain comfort and peacefulness while balancing the historical significance of waterfront housekeeping cottages.
Our customers (some have been returning for over 40 years now) feel there is something special about our beautiful location on this pristine lake.
Get in touch with nature, perfect for boating, kayaking, canoeing, swimming and fishing for all ages. Children love to catch fish in and around the boathouse and many improve their swimming skills during their stay.

Like living a Memory
Being at Colonial Pines gave us that and so much more. All the more simple things in life which seem to have vanished in the hussle and bustle of the lives we lead today: being able to just relax without hassles, the peace and quiet, having conversations without interruptions, ping pong, relaxing on the screened porch, taking the time to barbeque the old fashioned way with charcoal, jumping off a diving board, lounging all day on the dock or by the lakeside, walking to get an ice cream, paddling around the lake, enjoying coffee while sitting lakeside watching the sun rise over the water, listening to the loons bring in the dawn. While there was a TV, it stayed off, the cell phone put away.
Cindy and Gary, as well as their family members we met while there, were wonderful; They were available if we needed information or anything else, yet invisible, and it was obvious that they too truly enjoyed thier home and their roles as managers of Colonial Pines. Because Cindy grew up on the property and continues to be a member of the community, she and Gary were able to share so much information about the area and all it has to offer. They are just truly kind people.
The property is well kept and clean and the he vacation costs, affordable. The website is accurate and the FAQ section most helpful. There are many activities to participate in and many attractions to visit in the surrounding area, but we never felt the need to leave the peace of Colonial Pines. We saved all the "touristy" things to do for the day of check out, because we just didn't want to leave the tranquility of what we had found. We agreed this was the best, most relaxing vacation we have ever taken and look forward to returning.
I would like keep this place a secret
Its feels like a place from a time when things were so much simpler.
If your looking for a place with AC, video games, computers and all of the modern day distractions, this is not for you.
If your looking for a place with the sound of kids playing, boats motoring by, loons calling and just calm quiet, this place is perfect!
The cabins are clean and neat. The dock is in great shape. There are two fire places by the water. The water is clean an not weedy.
Parking is nice.
I would recommend you bring a tarp or drop cloth to throw over your car. There are a lot of pine trees and the sap and needles get all over your car.
I am looking forward to spending some more time at this cozy hideaway.
My wife and I loved it.
Very Nice Place to Stay at the Lake
Also thank you for helping us identify what we need to improve on. We will create a list on our website of what guests need to bring, and what is provided in the cottages. We will add towel racks in cottage 3 to accomodate more towels.
It was nice to meet you and your family. We hope to see you next summer. Cindy & Gary
