The Lodge on Lucerne is a rustic lakefront cottage, located on beautiful Philips Lake in Dedham, Maine. New amenities adorn the 3-bedrooms. This is a 2-bath rental, with a fully equipped kitchen and a dining room overlooking the lake. Your comfort is key, so cool off with AC, enjoy the flat screen smart TV with DIRECTV, and high-speed WI-FI—all included in the rental price. Enjoy your morning Coffee on the dock while the kids play on the swimming float, canoe, or enjoy the two kayaks or paddle board, all of which are included. A propane grill (with propane included). We also supply your firewood so all you have to worry about is sitting around the fire sharing laughs and making memories.

The rental sleeps six, with one queen bed, one Full, as well as two twin beds. Charming décor helps make this cottage a cozy home away from home.

Guests enjoy swimming, fishing, and more on this pristine lake. Sip your morning coffee in the included Adirondack chairs, and listen for the call of the loons. Relaxation is something not many take seriously in this era of hustle, bustle, and noise, but you’ll find it here at The Lodge on Lucerne. Don’t forget that Fido might enjoy some relaxation, too. Dogs are welcome!

Please join us at our restaurants, where the ambiance is inviting and the cuisine inspired

Rian’s Pub at The Lucerne Inn offers a relaxing and casual space to have a bite, create new friendships or have a drink.

Many special spirits are available upon request. Our pub food isn’t your usual pub food. We proudly take the traditional ideas of pub food and give it a twist, adding a modern spin to an old classic.

ACADIA NATIONAL PARK:
Acadia National Park: In 1913, President Woodrow Wilson set aside 6000 acres (within what is now Acadia National Park) as Sieur de Monts National Monument. With the acquisition of more land and private support and funding, in 1919 President Wilson signed an act establishing Lafayette National Park. In 1929 the parks name was changed to Acadia. Acadia National Park was established to protect the area's spectacular scenic values, Maine's rock bound coast, its coastal and its offshore islands as characterized by the geologic features, natural history and the native plant and animal life. Forty five miles of rustic carriage roads weave around the mountains and through the valleys of Acadia National Park, the gift of philanthropist John D Rockefeller, Jr., and family. Rockefeller, a skilled horseman, desired to travel on motor free byways via horse and carriage into the heart of Mount Desert Island. His efforts resulted in roads with sweeping vistas and close up views of the landscape.

Cadillac Mountain: Cadillac Mountain: At 1,530 feet, Cadillac Mountain is not only the tallest mountain in Acadia National Park, but also the tallest mountain along the eastern coast of the United States. Rising high above the town of Bar Harbor, Cadillac Mountain offers magnificent views of the Porcupine Islands and Frenchman Bay. Explore the summit of this granite mountain along a .3-mile trail, which includes wayside exhibits about natural and human history. Portions of this trail are accessible to wheelchair users. Cadillac Mountain is accessible via a winding, narrow, 3.5-mile road. The road is closed from December 1 through April 14 and whenever weather conditions (e.g., dense fog or ice) require.

Great place to stay for U of ME graduation weekend
Plenty of private sleeping space for 6. Very quaint log cabin decor. Photos accurate. Bonus upstairs screened in balcony shared by 2 bedrooms. Nice space to grab a quiet minute or read. Stayed in April. Early in the season to really get to enjoy the lake. Docks not installed yet. Easy ride to Arcadia and Bar Harbour which was a nice way to spend a day.

The Great Outdoors!!!
If you’ve seen the John Candy Movie The Great Outdoors and you wish to stay in a similar cabin, then you’ll fall in love with this place. There are very few cabins like this left to experience the up north feel and have the peace and tranquility that comes along with it. We had a blast playing games, fishing, boating, and exploring the area. We hope to come back soon.

Made some beautiful memories
The camp is fantastic. It’s a little bit modern and a little bit rustic. Very easy to get in and out of as the roads are paved leading up to it. The vintage look and feel is what Maine was all about in summers past, yet it has two bathrooms, laundry, a full kitchen and A/C. We spent one night on the large screened in porch watching as a thunderstorm passed over the lake. Close to Bangor and Acadia National Park, with a market and Dunkin Donuts less than 10 minutes down the road. The kayaks, canoe and paddle boards were a hit with the teenagers and the fire pit, with as much wood as you could burn, was amazing. Josh does it all when it comes to staying at his properties. I’ve rented for over 10 years in different places and him dropping off and picking up the boat is a huge timesaver. Plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the super clean lake and it’s surroundings. Thanks Josh

Lovely Lakefront Property
We spent a lovely July week at this lakeside log cabin home. The lake view was relaxing and beautiful, and we loved swimming and canoeing right out the back of the house. Started the day with coffee and a book on the dock. Ended the day paddle boarding at sunset. Our host Josh was very responsive to our questions and needs.

Perfect Getaway
My family and I enjoyed our stay in the beautiful, historic log cabin. The cabin had many modern updates, with a number of personal touches from decor to a welcome package. The location was amazing - beautiful spring fed lake and gorgeous sunset views. The owner was very pleasant and professional to work with. It was easy to rent a high quality and reasonably priced boat from the owner as well. Conveniently located within a 1 hour drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia Park. My family and I felt very lucky to have found such a great vacation home! We highly recommend!

Wonderful Stay
This was our family’s first visit to Maine and won’t be our last. We hit the jackpot with this perfect property and property owner. Josh was attentive from the beginning and so kind. He showed us how to operate the boat and gave many local food suggestions. The camp was clean and just as described! Thank you for the lovely stay!!!
