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. 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.

Beautiful Gem of a Cabin
We were planning on camping for vacation but it was supposed to pour the whole time. So we found this beautiful cabin right on the water at the last minute. The only negative was the steep driveway but as long as you have AWD you will be fine. It was beautiful, clean and the kitchen was well stocked with cookware. The loft had a wonderful sturdy ladder and railing that made climbing in and out of it a breeze even for full grown adults. The wifi and small tv were perfect for watching movies on the rainy days. The big bed's mattress in the main bedroom was one of the most comfortable I've ever slept on in a rental. There isn't alot of privacy, you can pretty much hear everything from any corner of the cabin, but it is a classic Maine cabin getaway that doesn't disappoint. Plus the pouring rain on the metal roof was the best sound to fall asleep to. I was actaully sad when I woke up and the rain had stopped. The island in the kitchen is so big and beautiful, cooking meals was a breeze. I highly reccomend this cabin. We had a fantastic time!

Beautiful little cabin!
We had the nicest little getaway at this gem. The smell of pine when you walk in is wonderful! It was so clean and well decorated. It had everything we needed. Hopefully we can rent it again next year!
