Spend a quintessential summer in Maine at this darling lakefront cottage on the shores of McGrath Pond. Once featured on Magnolia Network's 'Maine Cabin Masters,' this home has been lovingly restored as a family gathering space.
This picturesque abode sits near the northeastern corner of McGrath Pond, a spring-fed body of water that flows into Salmon Lake and the five other interconnected Belgrade Lakes. It's a beautiful setting for swimming and kayaking, taking afternoon naps in the hammock, and roasting marshmallows around the firepit at the water's edge. Two kayaks and two paddleboards are provided, so feel free to have adventures on the water and the home's boat slip. Oakland is two miles east while bustling Waterville and renowned Colby College are about four miles beyond.
Enter through a beautiful side deck, where you can barbecue in the afternoons, dine alfresco at sunset, and relax in the evenings while listening to the call of the loons. Inside, the cottage was renovated in a way that kept its charms intact, offering lofty ceilings, exposed crossbeams, and natural wood at every turn. Central heat and air-conditioning ensure comfort all year long.
The living space is lined with windows, allowing you to admire the view of the lake whether you're cooking in the open kitchen, chopping vegetables on the island, or kicking back on the sofas to play cards or stream movies. Two inviting bedrooms, a sleeping loft, and complimentary WiFi, are also provided.

Adorable cabin well stocked with plenty of space. Beautiful view! Nice and Clean. Needed help with the door lock and they were quick to respond and help.

This camp was very comfortable and well equipped will just about everything you would need to enjoy this camp. This little camp would sleep 5 but was good for just the 2 of us. The loft has 2 single beds but would NOT be good for people with mobility issues. We used the kayaks and the pond has beautiful clean water. If you eat indoors, there is not much room except for 2 people. More eating places are available outdoors with the picnic table and adirondack chairs by the pond/lake. Queen bed was very comfortable and the evenings are very dark and quiet except for the occasional loon calls. There was an eagle nest in a tree next door and you could see the nest from the kayak being on the water. There was always hot water and even though it was potable water, there was bottled water to be able to use of drinking and cooking. All-in-all, we would stay here, again!

Loved it!! Beautifully clear pond with bald eagle nest nearby. Bright, cheery, clean cabin too.

We were traveling through New England and were looking forward to spending some time exploring the pond. We’d already been at the coast and were headed to more mountains and hiking inland over the rest of the week. We arrived and found they had put the paddleboards and kayaks away for the season. The neighbors on the cove still had lots of water toys set up. When we called, we were told that they put the Paddleboards and kayaks away October 1st. There was no mention of that in the listing and this was the reason we chose this property so we were very disappointed. We then realized that there were dryer sheets scattered all around, under couch pillows and cushions, in kitchen drawers. It anppears they were closing up for the season. We also had no hot water in the shower for a time period. The property managers send someone out late that afternoon to fix the hot water issue. I had to call the property manager back for updates instead of them reaching back out to me. We were given a small credit back on our rate. I will be cautious renting properties from this property company again. I’ll probably give them another chance somewhere else but only one.
