Lakefront home on McGrath Pond - once featured on Maine Cabin Masters

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.

Great spot!

The cabin is clean and well-kept, with plenty of amenities. There is lots of light, and a great view of the lake from both the cabin and deck. Kayaks and paddle boards are available to use, as well as a gas grill, hammock, and awesome fireplace for evenings outside. The camp is located in a nice little cove, where loons frequently swim, and you can also hear their calls at night. There is currently a Bald Eagle's nest nearby so there were plenty of sightings. Had a wonderful stay!

Great cabin and location.

Had a wonderful time. Loon Cove is exactly that, the Loons were everywhere. The cabin was comfortable and well appointed. I really enjoyed my stay. I have one criticism, the sheer curtains in the bedrooms and bathrooms need to have a privacy/darkening option. The sun comes up at 4:30am and the trash guy, landscaper and nature viewers were on and around the property throughout my stay.

Comfy Cove

We stayed 4 nights with three children. The lake was clean and warm and gorgeous. Situated close, but not too close to other rentals we had really nice interactions with other renting families and our kids had a blast. Kayaks and paddleboards were great! The house was very well equipped.

Wonderful traditional Maine camp

Loved the spot on McGrath Pond. Situated on a cove, it was not busy but quiet and calm. There were communal water toys, floats, trampolines, and slides you could use just by asking. The camp has traditional Maine features and plenty of toys such as paddle boards and kayaks. The loft was a great place for my two daughters to hang out. Views were terrific. Located in Oakland, it is in the midst of the legendary Belgrade Lakes. Close to populated areas such as Waterville and Augusta. Easy access to I-95 and other primary roads.

Loon Cove Getaway

Loon Cove is an exceptional retreat that offers an unparalleled escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We were captivated by the stunning views and the enchanting sounds of nature, including the majestic calls of nearby eagles and loons. This cabin provided the perfect sanctuary for my husband and me, allowing us to unwind and recharge in a serene environment. Nestled at a convenient distance from town, Loon Cove feels like a true oasis. We relished our cozy evenings by the lake, gathered around a crackling fire, and had the delightful option of dining in nearby Oakland or Waterville for breakfast or dinner. Our stay was filled with adventure—kayaking, fishing, paddleboarding, and exploring the picturesque hiking trails in Rome, Maine. I wholeheartedly recommend this charming cabin. Whether you’re seeking a romantic getaway for two or a tranquil retreat for your family, Loon Cove is sure to exceed your expectations. We couldn't have imagined a better escape!

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!

Relaxing and rejuvenating!

This camp was perfect for what we were looking for! We loved having our coffee at sunrise and soaking up the sun throughout the day. While it’s close to other properties and there were plenty of kids outside and in the water out front, everyone was very respectful, and it never felt disruptive.The camp itself had everything we needed and felt modern and comfortable. One thing to note: small flies were a bit of a nuisance indoors—especially in the kitchen and bathroom. We recommend washing dishes before and after meals, as we noticed both live and dead flies around those areas.We really appreciated the provided water fountain since the tap water isn’t potable—they had plenty of clean drinking water ready for us. The hill leading up to the camp is quite steep, but we didn’t mind—it gave our calves a little extra workout!The view is absolutely breathtaking. We highly recommend staying here for your Maine getaway

Relaxing stay

My family of three stayed at this cabin for 5 nights. First, the view of the lake was gorgeous! There is a nice firepit with chairs outside, which my husband and I used every night! It was so relaxing to sit by the water and the fire, enjoying the fresh air. The stars are absolutely beautiful at night, and it was pretty quiet and peaceful. Also, the cabin was well appointed with items you would need to store and prepare meals during your stay. There was plenty of sleeping space. The loft has two beds, and the floor space is up there is quite large. I slept very well, the mattresses and pillows were comfortable. The bathroom was a decent size, with plenty of towels. Overall we really enjoyed our time here and would return again!

Very happy despite a couple of issues

We had a wonderful three day weekend at the camp. It was very nice and clean. The location is beautiful and the owner should be proud. Everything was excellent. The only issues we had were with the potable water cooler not working without a workaround, we couldn't get the TV to work, and it would be nice if there were privacy blinds in the bathroom and bedroom rather than sheer curtains. We really enjoyed our time here and are already discussing returning next year. Hopefully the water cooler is fixed as you cannot drink the water from the tap at this location.

Quintessential lake experience

This property offers all that was needed for a lake side getaway. Close enough to “town” for any forgotten items. The area for seating at the waters edge is lovely in the mornings and evenings. Fishing poles in the cabin allowed for some casting. The paddle boards were a bit hit and the water is calm and easy to navigate, kayaks were available too. The TV was helpful when we arrived and it was raining, the metal roof gave some great background noise for a deep sleep. Lots of natural light and big windows to watch the lake come alive each day. We were able to watch two bald eagles (must be a nest nearby) swoop to the water and retreat to their land location. We wish we could have stayed longer and are planning a return visit.

Fall Fun

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.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay. We truly apologize for the disappointment you experienced with the paddleboards and kayaks being put away for the season, especially since that was a key factor in your decision to choose this property. We understand how frustrating it must have been to arrive and find that information was not clearly communicated in the listing. We also want to sincerely apologize for the cleanliness issues you encountered, including the dryer sheets scattered around our home. This is not the standard we strive for, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We are glad to hear that our local operations manager was able to address the hot water issue, but we regret that you had to reach out for updates instead of receiving proactive communication from us. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will ensure it is shared with our team to help improve our services moving forward. We appreciate your willingness to give us another chance in the future, and we hope your next experience with us will be much more enjoyable.

Warning - poor experience and poor communication

I booked this cabin as the highlight of my parents’ 50th anniversary road trip, I hoped 2 nights / 1 full day of the lakefront serenity would suffice. It was clear upon arrival the cabin was in no shape for guests but, being tourist season, other accommodations were not available. The very steep driveway had caution tape across the top. A neighbor made sure my parents knew to stay off the driveway as it was part way through being replaced. The hill is treacherous for anyone with luggage, for a couple in their 70s it is dangerous. Half of the property’s lake frontage had caution tape across it and was undergoing major landscaping work. The first morning a work crew arrived for a half day of loud stump grinding. Workers encouraged my parents to leave the property for a few hours, so they did. Upon checking out of the cabin my mom found a binder with rental info under the kitchen island, one page said “Caution: tap water not for drinking.” My dad had used the tap water for coffee, diarrhea lasted a week. I was provided no indication of the property’s multiple large projects nor that a crew and heavy machinery would disrupt my parents special day. And there are no notes next to taps or in the listing itself alerting guests to the water being unsafe. I messaged this info within the VRBO app, I followed up via phone with Vacasa two weeks later, they offered a 10% refund. A lot of money down the drain and a sad 50th anniversary. A shame Vacasa gets away with such theft.
