About this lodge
Bring your furry friends along and unwind in the coziness of Dorie's Cottage, a charming pine-paneled abode tucked away in the woods on the eastern shore of Crescent Lake. Known for gorgeous sunsets, the property features a well-appointed kitchen, screened porch, deck with large grill, use of a canoe and kayak, and a 240v electric car charging outlet. There is now a Solo Stove at the property so you can enjoy s'mores by the water at night! The dock is perfect for catching some rays, swimming, and keeping your boat anchored while you birdwatch for loons, eagles, and kingfishers. For those who enjoy hiking, the Loon Echo Land Trust Raymond Community Forest hiking trails are easily accessible and lead to Pismire Bluff, offering a stunning panoramic view of the lake. The dock can accommodate boats up to 16', and the natural woods provide plenty of shaded areas for relaxing on a hot day. The path to the waterfront and dock is layered with bark mulch and steps, with the water being 1' deep at the rocky entry which gradually leads to a sandy bottom. The best swimming spot is right off the dock, so jump on in! If you're seeking a serene and picturesque vacation, full of swimming, boating, and relaxation, then Dorie's Cottage is the place for you!

Last weekend, I managed to Complete my 24th week at Dorie's Cottage which originally started in 2002 and only 2 years that I didn't show up, the first time the state of Maine didn't allow me in and last year when my wife broke her ankle earlier in the year and we had to stay home. Other than those I enjoyed each one of the weeks. If there was any problem that I faced, it was finding problems with the television, which I would have enjoyed if it worked. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the other weeks with all the fish, swimming, reading books at the bottom of the docks or having breakfast, lunch or dinner or the grill overlooking the back porch. And all of this does not including driving to the various lakes and kayaking in various places. My only problem was not being able to be able to one or two weeks later, if not Dorie's maybe some other cottage on the same side of the lake which faces the sinking sun.

Another vacation week this summer at Dorie's Cottage with our family was perfectly wonderful in every way! We all love this camp so much; it has everything that we could every want and more, and one of the best things is that from summer to summer, from the minute we all walk into the camp it's the same as it was from the previous summer, and we all feel like we're home! Crescent Lake is so clean and beautiful, as are the pair of eagles that we had the joy of seeing each day! The early morning walks are delightful and so peaceful, so quiet, like a slice of heaven. Our weather was perfect all week! Perfect for for tubing, swimming, fishing, nightly boat rides and camp fires - it was truly delightful from start to finish! We're always kind of sad to see the week come to an end and we're all already looking forward to next summer at Dorie's Cottage!

We liked the cottage and views. Very clean and well equipped. Good weather too. Nice dock and great sunset views. Like the family memorial bench and touches that remembered Dorie.
