8 Bedrooms, 3 Full & 2 Half baths, Sleeps +25, On the Lakefront

Welcome to Kossow Lodge, our home, a 4-season, private Lodge on beautiful Crescent Lake, in the Town of Raymond Maine. Crescent Lake is in the heart of the Sebago Lakes Region of Southwestern Maine. The perfect all season place to hold large or multi-family vacations, college reunions, weddings, wedding receptions, business retreats, anniversary gatherings, fishing trips, Thanksgiving and winter holidays, and skiing and snowmobiling trips. With eight bedrooms and five bathrooms, the lodge comfortably accommodates twenty five people. It provides both seclusion and serenity, as well as plenty of activities for family and children. With 2.5 acres on 283 feet of private waterfront, on the western shore of Crescent Lake, Kossow Lodge offers something for everyone to enjoy during their stay. A 17-foot canoe, Sunfish and two Kayaks are included in the rental. A 12'/5 HP or 14'/10 HP boat are available to rent. Recent addition is the fully automatic standby generator to power the Lodge.

Pack your bags, Not your home, come and enjoy.: The china cabinet has service for 20+ people and the large dining room with its own stone fireplace can seat your whole multi-family group. The adjacent porch has its own large picnic table.

In summer, the porch (60'x12') with its full length Anderson Casements with screen & glass allow you to enjoy the beautiful lake views. The porch is the ideal gathering spot to relax and enjoy the beautiful lake views. Venture outside to enjoy the open deck patio with its own comfortable chairs & tables, 2 chaise lounges, picnic table and a hammock.

Travel down the steps to our dock, which has space for your 20-foot boat plus mooring floats. Swim to the float and enjoy the sunshine. Take the kids water-skiing. Or simply keep your eyes and ears open for the loons.

Kossow Lodge provides plenty of outdoor activities for all ages including badminton, croquet, and basketball. The indoor gazebo offers a quiet spot for cards and board games.

Fun for the whole family.: The basement playroom offers a full-size slate Brunswick Pool Table, an Air Hockey table, Foosball and a Ping-Pong table.The great room (24'x30'), with its magnificent stone fireplace, will draw the crowds in winter. It offers a welcoming spot to warm up and relax after a day of skiing, ice fishing, cross-country skiing, or snowmobiling. We supply the firewood for both indoor fireplaces & outside Smores-Pit. Also, firewood for the 'Smoker'

Ski trips are a breeze with Shawnee Peak only 25 miles away and Sunday River just 53 miles away.

Please click on the link directly below that to view our Kossow Lodge website with 50 plus additional photos.

In addition to the supply of regular towels for everyone we also supply large size beach towels. Electrical Generator for back up power when Maine Central Power goes on vacation. It starts up automatically and you are never without electricity. The Lodge is next to a brook and walking trails offer daily exercise.

Crescent Lake lies in the Towns of Raymond and Casco, Maine. It is 4 miles long and 2/3 mile wide at its widest point. The maximum depth is 54 feet and fishing is good year round. Crescent Lake is a good size for moderate boating and is relatively quiet. Crescent Lake connects to Panther Lake which then feeds into Sebago. The Tenny River links Crescent Lake and Panther and is navigable.

Recently installed is a Siemens 16 KW Electrical Generator for back up power when Maine Central Power goes on vacation. It starts up automatically and you are never without electricity.

Why Nancy or Derek Eaton chose Raymond

After years of vacationing on the Cape, we decided to try something more secluded, serene and laid back. Crescent Lake in Raymond, Maine has provided our family with many enjoyable summer months away from the madding crowd.

Dear Deke & Nancy;

Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to share quality time with our wonderful friends. Your home is so beautiful and and even with a "housefull" we were able to share quiet times with one another.

This vacation allowed us to have meaningful conversations, hours of laughter and create memories that will last a lifetime. Because you have thought of everything, out time here was even more relaxing then we expected. Your vacation home offers everything for everyone and we would like to come back and enjoy it again.

Thank you for opening your home to us.

Wonderful house, we could use a bunk room in the basement. But all in all I had a great week hanging out- Saturday to Tuesday with a group of friends and then Tuesday to Saturday with my mom's faamily. This is the best place I have ever stayed in all years of vacation! Thanks for the great house, can't wait to come back next year.

To the Eatons.

This has been a wonderful never to forget vacation. All 18 of our group loved it had a wonderful time. The time passed to fast.

You certainly thought of everything to make us feel at home and have a great Maine vacation.

The grandchildren and all really enjoyed the kayaks & canoe. Some saw the loons & one showed up close enough this evening we could all see it with the binoculars. Thanks again for the great hospitality.

Sincerely;
The Christman Clan

To the Eatons

What a wonderful opportunity you gave to us as we shared many happy hours, all 17 of us. The kayaks were put to very good use as was the canoe.

As we head back to our respective homes in Seattle, Danville, NH, Needham Mass and Washington, DC we will fondly remember our wonderful time on Crescent Lake. Even the loons came to call.

Sincerely,
Bob & Maryellen Magner.

I just returned home from a weekend spent at the Kossow Lodge with a group of sixteen adults. We had a great time and were the first group of the year to use the huge charcoal grill to serve up a big dinner for everyone seated together in the large dining room. People especially loved the ping pong table, large hammock and relaxing in the great room. The beds were comfy and the lodge was especially well stocked with dry goods for all of the group's needs. We even had a few brave souls hop in the lake!Thanks Nancy and Deke for your assistance with the rental process and making our weekend extremely memorable.
