Our family rented this beautiful lake house. We spent days gushing and floating on the lake interspersed with adventures to Portland for a whale watch and eateries and a trip to Freeport for the outlets and Maine Brewing company. The house was extremely well appointed. Everything we needed to cook and grill was there. The decks overlooking the lake were much enjoyed and playing off the dock made for some great memories.
Grandparents, adult kids, grandkids. Age range 2 - 65. Something for everyone! Multi levels and 3 balconies, 3 bathroom's meant we werenât on top of each other but spacious living room and dining for all family activities as well. Wonderful week.
Perfect Blend of Lakeside Relaxation and Adventure
We stayed at camp dragonfly with my parents and my wife and kids. Very comfortable with multiple decks to enjoy the view, a solid collection of great summer reading books, games, and a nice selection of boats, plus fishing gear! Everything you need for a peaceful stay in Maine.
This property has it all. 2 families were able to swim, kayak, fish and have fires by the lake everyday we were there. The weather was nothing short of spectacular and we had plenty of space to spread out in the house. Will come back for sure!
Everything you could ask for in a Lake House! Your own little patch of water to hang out in, or the whole lake if you want it!
Floating dock to swim to, Kayaks, Paddle Board, Canoe...Shallow in for the little kids.
Beautiful sunsets from 3 decks.
And Tim was so flexible, helpful and responsive!
What a week. Crescent Lake is absolutely spectacular. Exactly what I would expect in the beautiful state of Maine. And the house was exactly as advertised. Big enough for all of us to spread out and well equipped. We floated, rowed, swam and paddled our way through the week. I only wish we could have stayed. Hope to visit again soon!
We had a wonderful New Year's getaway at Crescent Lake. Tim was an outstanding host, responsive and helpful. The house was clean, well-appointed, and perfectly laid out for our group of 6. The lake view and fireplace provided a cozy spot to relax and reflect, while the large kitchen gave us a place to gather, cook, and laugh together. We skied Shawnee Peak, conveniently located 30 minutes away and enjoyed the frozen lake for some peaceful walks. Beautiful property in a beautiful spot. We will be back!
House was fantastic! Pictures didn't do it justice. Very clean upon arrival. Kitchen was equipped with everything you need. Bathrooms were updated and clean. Lake was great for kids with the house so close to the water and easy walk in access and sandy bottom. Tim the host was very easy to reach and communicated great. Only knock was that we had to bring our own linens/towels but I assume that was a covid saftey policy. Amazing stay, thanks Tim!!!
We had an excellent stay at this property. The multiple level layout of the house is interesting, offering both open-ness and privacy as desired. Plenty of space in the bedrooms; we lodged 10 adults / children and one infant in the four rooms with ample space. The living areas are similarly spacious and we did not feel cramped. Great deck access and views from the living room and the two front bedrooms.The kitchen is a tad small but it worked well enough for meal prep. The dining room was large enough for all of us to sit/eat during meals. The two upstairs bathrooms are updated and nice. The basement bathroom is older but Tim left a note indicating that it is scheduled for renovation in the near future. We used it as our changing room for swimming. We spent a lot of our time swimming in the lake and fishing off the dock. The fishing was good; we landed many keeper bass. We saw several boats trolling and landing larger fish out in the middle of the lake - salmon? The road is dirt/gravel and very private; our kids used it all week for biking with no issues. There is a house directly next to the property on the north side, and one house about 500' to the south. The house directly to the north was not occupied during our stay. The neighbors to the south were very friendly and we spoke with them often during our stay.
The only minor drawback to the house is that there are several noisy summer camps directly across the the lake. I understand the spirit of summer camp and the reason for the cheering / chants / singing, but these camps could get pretty loud at times. Not loud enough to detract from our visit, but just enough to remove a sense of solitude at times. Everything else was great and I would definitely stay at this property again.
10 days on Crescent lake in Raymond Maine - could not have been better. Perfect for everyone. Be aware there are a lot of stairs but they are not overly steep. Kitchen was well stocked and very pleasant to work in. Extra fridge really helped too. Beds comfy. Lots of outdoor watercraft, beach towels, fire pit- this place has it all
Everything was as advertised. Tim, the property owner was very responsive to communication. Kitchen was well stocked and having two refrigerators was a definite plus. We all had a wonderful time, ages 8 to 66.
We all enjoyed our stay at Camp Dragonfly. The camp is even better than the photos. This was our first vacation with four generations of family members and thanks to the lovely location it was a memorable experience. With two barbecue grills and a large dining table our nightly dinners together worked out great. The house was extremely well stocked with supplies and all the cooking gear you could need. The views from the back of the house and the three kayaks were also a big hit. All the beds were comfortable and the three, yes three bathrooms was a plus with elderly parents.
Camp Dragonfly was a wonderful place to stay for family vacation. The house is spacious allowing for both large gatherings and places to hide away for some alone time! The location is perfect and the Crescent Lake is a quiet lake with little to do except relax, kayak, relax, fish, relax, swim. We all had a great time. I asked everyone what was missing, what could have made it better and there was nothing anyone could think of! The kitchen is very well stocked for any type of cooking. Great laundry set-up. Beds were very comfortable. Plenty of games to play. Great space to read, play, eat, relax, listen to the loons and catch some bald eagles soaring overhead. The hosts were very easy to reach and ready to help in any way they could. But we were good! We didn't need anything. We all hope to return.
We were met by Tim, a most accommodating host / owner who took time and effort to address / enhance all the âlittle thingsâ.
We enjoyed our stay in a house so well stocked as none we had experienced before. The lake was exquisite, the peace and quiet completely relaxing. The dock and itâs armada of canoes, paddle boat, and kajaks was our favorite hang out all week.
A great place to return to!
Thank you Tim!
Beautiful lake retreat that was fun for the whole family. Large house with a great location. This was our second time staying at Camp Firefly and canât wait to go back again!
We really enjoyed our stay at Camp Dragonfly, perfect location for watching the sunset over the Lake! Lots of room, great views from inside the home and on the decks. Kitchen had everything we needed and the owners checked in to see if we needed anything which was nice. We look forward to returning!
We spent our family vacation here the last week in August 2021. The dock and floating dock was great. We have 5 grandsons who loved swimming and fishing. The canoe, kayaks and paddle board were a lot of fun. We enjoyed the fire pit. Only a couple of negatives, it was unusually warm for Maine (90 degrees!) and the house has no air conditioning. The house had fans but not much relief. The place could have been cleaner. The two small porches were dirty and had lots of spiders! There were also a lot of spiders in the house. The big porch looking out on the lake was nice but the railing was loose. Overall we had a great time! Thanks for sharing your home with us.
Camp Dragonfly had everything we needed.
Plenty of pots, pans ext.
The water toys were wonderful.
The layout of the interior allowed us all to have some space.
Spent every night but one by the firepit.
Had morning coffee on the deck watching wildlife.
Thank you to the host.
Question: Summarize Camp Dragonfly in 5 words.
Answer: Spacious. Comfortable. Cozy. Well-Stocked. Perfect.
Seriously, our entire family had a wonderful time on Crescent Lake at Camp Dragonfly. The house is large and spacious even for a big family like ours; it has literally everything you could ever need, even a paddleboard and fishing gear; the lake is pristine and relatively quiet. The sunsets are gorgeous and the owners are a true pleasure to deal with. Thank you!
Camp Dragonfly was everything I ever dreamt a lake house would be and more! This was my first time ever to book a rental and the first time ever my family has gotten to spend a week together on vacation. There were 11 of us and the house is spacious enough that we had plenty of room. We used the paddleboard, kayaks and canoes just about every day. Location is perfect, very peaceful but still near stores and restaurants. Tim the owner is wonderful to work with, anytime I had a question he responded quickly. He made my first experience a very pleasant one. We will definitely be going back each year for our family vacation!
New to VRBO but we are loving it ! Mostly rented by word of mouth before. We are from Maryland and we purchased this home because I used to come to this lake 40 years ago. My grandmother use to have a camp on the other end of the lake and I remember those times as some of our best family vacations. It is very rewarding helping other families discover the joy and beauty of one of Maine's best kept secrets and helping them build there own memories !!
