This was the perfect place for us to stay for the Maine 70.3 triathlon. We were able to swim in the pond and run in the area. The cabin is larger than it seems in photos. The WiFi worked wonderfully. It was a cozy, comfortable and quiet place. Would definitely go back at another time!! Highly recommend.

Great Setting/location

This was our second summer in a row staying at the property. What a great setting, the pond is beautiful and generally peaceful (had only one night of loud music from a neighbor somewhere in the vicinity). Swimming and kayaking is perfect for a young family like mine. We will continue to look to stay here in the future as it’s a great setting for my family. And convenient location in relation to Waterville/winslow and much closer to Boston airport (as compared to Acadia and Bar Harbor).

Lake Cabin

Peaceful, clean, full of birdsong. The May weather was a bit cold and moist to start. The fireplace and heater worked great. Clee brought over more blankets. The sun came out at the end, and the lake was a wonderful addition.
Classic Maine enjoyment
relax on the deck and enjoy the lake.

Great Place

Clee was very responsive to our needs. Very quiet, excellent location and easy access to water-lovely dock for sitting and viewing the wildlife! The washer/dryer and dishwasher were a huge plus. Seniors and families with young children should be aware of circular stairs.

We had a wonderful time with everything we needed to be comfortable. The house was clean, with a beautiful view of the pond. Clee was responsive to my questions before our stay, and we very much appreciated access to the kayaks.

Great Lake stay

it was great and as advertised. No problems. The Tv is a little difficult to navigate, but not a big deal. Internet was great. It would have been great if there were binoculars at the house, we were very excited to see the wildlife on the lake. Many loon birds and bald eagles etc…

Cozy lake cabin serenaded by loons

The king sized bed upstairs was so comfortable. It was relaxing to sleep with the window open and awake to a view of the sunrise over McGrath Pond. Favorite memories include enjoying coffee on the deck, kayaking, and catching smallmouth bass, chain pike, and white perch from the dock. Property owners were very communicative and responsive. Touches of hospitality graced this peaceful cabin getaway.

Nice getaway

The camp is a typical Maine cottage on the pond. A couple things to note: the place is not really air conditioned. In Maine this is typically not an issue, but we hit some hot days. Fortunately there were portable fans. Also, the bathroom floor seems to be perpetually damp. In spite of this, we enjoyed our stay. The house is well equipped for living and water fun.
