Belgrade Lakes McGrath Pond

After battling Stage 4 cancer, this was my first vacation with my kids in five years, and I couldn't have asked for a better place to make new memories.From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcome. We happened to get there about two hours before check-in, and the owner kindly came right over to greet us with a beautiful bouquet of fresh-picked flowers. It was such a thoughtful gesture that immediately made us feel at home.The cottage was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Waking up each morning to the breathtaking view of the lake from the master bedroom was one of my favorite parts of the trip—it was so peaceful and beautiful. We especially loved that kayaks were provided, making it easy to explore the lake whenever we wanted. The dock was perfect for fishing, and my kids had a great time catching plenty of perch, largemouth bass, and adorable pumpkinseed fish.If you're looking for a clean, welcoming, and relaxing place to create lasting family memories, I wholeheartedly recommend staying here. We are so grateful for this wonderful experience and hope to return someday. Thank you for sharing your beautiful little piece of Maine with our family. This vacation meant more to us than words can express.

What an amazing stay at McGrath Pond! This camp is steps from the pond, which made it incredibly convenient to fish any time of day. Caught several fish throughout our stay. Peaceful and quiet cove, in spite of the number of camps around us. Fell asleep to the sound of loons, owls, and frogs! A perfect, relaxing stay in beautiful Oakland, Maine!

Perfect location and setup for Colby College graduation weekend. Cottage was clean and well designed for our family, and the outdoor seating was perfect for enjoying a relaxing afternoon between festivities. The weather wasn’t warm enough for partaking in all the lake based activities, but Clee has lots of equipment with which to do so for summer guests. Would be a fabulous spot for a Maine getaway!

Beautiful spot! dock and deck are great for morning coffee and hanging out. King bed was very comfortable. Great view from king bedroom too!
