Kossow Camp is a thoughtfully reimagined lakeside retreat on the shores of Crescent Lake in Raymond, Maine. What began as a dated summer camp has been transformed into a refined, year-round home that honors the spirit of traditional Maine cottages while embracing modern comfort and efficiency. The renovation was guided by the owners’ desire for a space that could welcome both lively summer gatherings and quiet winter escapes. Smart design solutions allow the home to shift seamlessly with the seasons, offering open-air living in the warmer months and cozy warmth in the colder ones. The project also includes a complete rebuild of the property’s iconic A-frame, preserving its charm while enhancing its livability. Kossow Camp is a celebration of place, purpose, and the enduring appeal of lakeside living.
