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.

Summary: Great place to get away for a few days! Quiet and peaceful! And loved the fire pit. Would recommend!
Stephanie S. Jul 1, 2025 07:00:00 AM
Summary: 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!

Summary: This camp was perfect for me and my husband! The layout of the house, the deck and the kayaks for our use were delightfully! I can’t wait to rent this lovely space again!

Summary: beautiful spot on the lake, clean and comfortable, great kayaking
Tim W. May 30, 2025 11:29:48 PM
Summary: 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.

Summary: 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!

Summary: 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.

Summary: Lovely spot that is clean and cozy.
Anthony S. Aug 27, 2024 09:19:56 PM
Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.
