About this property
Cozy Lakefront Family Compound - Spacious and Private with Spectacular Views!
Bring the whole family or group of friends and create memories to last a lifetime with your own private compound on tranquil Thomas Pond. Camp Dragonfly’s spacious, remodeled 5 bedroom main house has all the amenities you could need, the 2 bedroom guest house has a kitchenette and full bath, while the adorable bunkhouse has two sets of bunks + futon – the perfect hangout for the kids or teens!
Take pleasure in 250 feet of private shoreline with trees buffering each side giving you complete privacy. Play your favorite outdoor games on the large, level yard. Access the sandy bottomed, crystal clear water from the stairs or two docks. Swim to the float and soak up the sunshine while you observe the resident bald eagle circling overhead. Cast a line from the canoe or dock and enjoy some of the best fishing in the lakes region. Cook up some lobsters in our giant outdoor gas-fired cooker. Sip your coffee in the mornings and watch the sunrise from the covered porch or savor your favorite beverage in the evenings by the cozy fire pit while you take in panoramic views of the lake. Finally, after a full day enjoying "The Way Life Should Be", fall into a peaceful slumber as you listen to the soothing cry of the loons.
While away from it all you are only 10-15 minutes from grocery stores, shopping, restaurants, ice cream stands, movie theatres, hiking, golf, mini golf and go-karting. A tennis court, 3 pickleball courts (we provide net and paddles!), swing set, and a half basketball court are less than a mile away.
Amenities include 2 docks, stairs to the water, swim float, 2 kayaks, 2 paddleboards, a canoe (adult and children’s life jackets provided), water floats and noodles, firepit, Weber gas grill, outdoor gas burner with lobster pot and utensils, outdoor games (cornhole, spikeball, bocce, whiffle ball), and puzzles, books, and games (various card and dice games, cribbage board, jumbo sequence, deluxe scrabble, rack-o, and guesstures to name a few). There is also a Nintendo wii in the bunkhouse.
The boat on the mooring is not for use or available to rent, but there are several local marinas to rent from (we recommend Sebago Lake Boat Rentals) that will deliver the boat to the boat launch for you. We suggest reserving and arranging drop off well in advance.
Main House: 5 bedrooms, 7 beds, 2 bathrooms, 3 smart tv’s
Guest House: 3 beds, 1 full bath, 1 smart tv
Bunkhouse: 1 Bunk with 2 twin xl beds, 1 Bunk with 2 twin beds, Queen futon, 1 smart tv (no bath)

About the host
Hosted by Jenny
Hello, my name is Jenny and I grew up in Maine. I now live in Southern New England with my husband and two teenage boys. I really wanted my children to know Maine they way I did, so in 2014 we purchased this lovely property and have spent quite a bit of time here. Needless to say the boys love it! We have gradually renovated areas that needed attention. It is still a work in progress, but something that I enjoy doing immensely. I also love hosting and doing all that I can to ensure our guests have the ultimate experience. It makes me happy to make you happy!
I am always thinking about ways to improve Camp Dragonfly. I want our guests to have the most remarkable and joyful time here possible. If you have suggestions on what could be changed or added to enhance your stay, please let me know!

Why they chose this property
I grew up going to my grandparents' camp on Sebago Lake and would also take day trips to Sebago Lake State Park. To me, the Lakes Region in Maine means fun in the sun and in the water, enjoying nature, and getting away from it all. The area is convenient to get to from the rest of New England. I also like that there are amenities nearby that are convenient and fun to explore. Thomas Pond was high on our list due to its excellent water quality rating and because it is less busy than other lakes and ponds.
Why Camp Dragonfly?
If you are here in May or June, look up and you might see dozens of dragonflies flying overhead. We love dragonflies because they are beautiful creatures that symbolize hope, change, and love. Dragonflies also remind us of our loved ones who are no longer with us physically. And lastly, we love dragonflies because they eat mosquitoes!
What makes this property unique
This house was built in the early 1800’s. We’ve been renovating since 2014, but you will still see many signs of an older home. We hope you enjoy the peace and tranquility of beautiful Thomas Pond. Hopefully you will catch a glimpse of the Loons that make the pond their home in the summer and hear their mesmerizing calls at night. There is nothing like Maine in the summer!
An interesting historical tie to this property that we’ve been told is that novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne used to be a frequent visitor as he spent many summers in Raymond and Casco between 1813 and 1825. His most famous novel, The Scarlet Letter, was mostly written at his mother’s home in Casco.
Thomas Pond is 442 Acres and has a max depth of 64 feet. The most popular species of fish caught are Largemouth bass, Smallmouth bass, and Chain pickerel. The water temperature in summer averages 78 degrees, perfect for swimming and lounging in the raft. In the evenings the Maine air can be crisp, so throw on a sweatshirt and enjoy the warmth of the firepit while you make some s'mores. You will have a perfect view of the moon rise and don't forget to look up at the stars and find the Big Dipper and the Milky Way. Good chance you'll see a shooting star too.
The best parts of this property are the large yard for games, privacy on either side, and gorgeous open views of the lake, all three of which are rare in a lakefront property. Thomas Pond also has less activity than other lakes in the region, which adds to the tranquility, but it's also fun to watch the water skiers when they come around. The pond is large enough for water sports, but small enough to explore with the kayak or canoe. We do hope you enjoy your time at Camp Dragonfly and make memories to last a lifetime.
