In 1904 and 1905 Seth Sprague Terry, a New York City Attorney, came to the Adirondacks and built this cottage for his family's summer vacationing and owned the camp for 25 years. The lodge was known as the Terry Cottage.

During the 30's E.E. Towne, a counsel for the Humble Oil Company, of Texas bought the Terry Cottage .World Renown Violinist and Teacher, Louis Persinger purchased the property in
the 40's. He gave concerts in the Town of Elizabethtown and taught his students here at the lodge.
In the late 50's the lodge was sold to Herbert Thomas whom owned most of the lodges on Cobble Hill and the camps were known, during that time, as The Balsams.
Herbert Thomas later sold this camp to Norris and Mary Dolly in the early 60's.
Norris and his wife had six children and many grandchildren and great grandchildren who roam the woodlands of Cobble Hill to this day. Dolly Family Lodge is known for its warm, hospitable gatherings of old and new friends alike.
