Lake Front with Amazing Sunsets on McGrath Pond

Come enjoy a peaceful, lakeside retreat at Camp Ohana! Bring friends and family to hear the loons at night and watch the eagles soar during the day. This four bed, two bath home, with 100 feet of lake front and a large private dock, is perfect for families of all sizes! Perfectly situated in Oakland, Maine, this lake front house is an easy drive and convenient location for anyone looking to get away!

Weekly rentals are enforced during the summer season, Saturday to Saturday. We apologize that we are unable to accommodate early or late check-in or alternate check-in/check-out days.

This picturesque lake front camp is perfectly set up to accommodate family and friends! We are so excited to share our family home with you. Come and stay awhile!

Originally purchased by “GrandMom and Pop” in 1973, this camp has been enjoyed by four generations. The most recent major renovations took pace in 2020. The main floor has laminate flooring, overstuffed sectional couch and a 65" smart TV. The spacious family room boasts a 180 degree view of the lake front, as well as custom wood furniture from a local craftsman (Lovejoy Rustic Furniture)! The main floor bathroom had the tub/shower replaced in 2026. The basement includes a large living room that doubles as a fourth bedroom, with a second full bathroom and laundry room.

AC and heat have been installed throughout every level of the house, keeping you at the perfect temperature in both the summer and fall! The AC and heat units include the iWave-M Flexible Air Cleaner. These enhanced units kill mold, bacteria, and viruses. Additionally, they reduce allergens, odors, static electricity, and airborne particles.

Outside, enjoy the expansive dock and lake views. Enjoy four kayaks, canoe, two stand up paddle boards, and fishing gear included in the price of your stay. A variety of life jackets in sizes for infants, kids, and adults are provided for lake safety. After a day on the lake, sit around the picnic table and have a BBQ on the gas grill. Enjoy the fire pit while roasting marshmallows. The house is oriented for perfect sunsets every night. Pour yourself a nice glass of wine or Maine craft beer and enjoy the view!

Great Rental Close to Water

Great rental, very clean. Size of dock with lots of chairs and tables was amazing. Great area for several people to fish at once. There were 7 adults in our family and this rental met our needs in everyway. Communication with host was excellent and check in and check out was seamless. Perfect vacation week with my family.

Amazing Stay

My family and I booked this rental for nine days and had the most amazing vacation. The property was perfect, the views and atmosphere were to die for, and the host family went out of their way to make our vacation memorable. We could not ask for a better trip and are already planning next years stay. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a great place to stay in the Belgrade Lakes area, make this your choice. You will not regret it

First time Visiting son at Colby College

Great home and what I appreciated was the cleanliness and stocked kitchen. The location was perfect for relaxing when we had down time and also offered easy access back and forth from Colby College. Would love to come visit when we can enjoy the water in warmer weather. Great experience, thank you

My husband and I had an amazingly relaxing time! It was hard to leave. The Rosato’s have thought of everything. We cant wait to come back next year with the kiddos! My hubby loved having the fishing gear available with the kayaks. Waking up every morning to the amazing views was just what we needed! Highly reccomend this vacation home.

Wonderful family vacation

We had a great time at the cabin. We had great weather and some beautiful sunsets. Amenities were excellent. Plenty of chairs, towels, housewares, etc. Shade or sun is available any time of the day either on land or dock, Boat was beautiful and lots of fun. Central A/C is a nice (and uncommon) perk but we didn’t need it due to the cool crisp Maine air. Exceptional fire pit with plenty of wood. A great time was had by all!

Perfect Getaway

Camp Ohana is a gem. From the moment we arrived, we felt as if we were at home. The home and property were just as we expected. Everything was organized and clean. The family was very prompt with all communication and answers to any questions we had along the way. The Welcome binder was a wonderful addition. My family and I were able to enjoy a week of relaxation and fun, without a care in the world.

The best of the best.

Our family of four stayed at Camp Ohana for the week of the Fourth of July. McGrath Pond is unlike any other lake in the central Maine region (and beyond), because it isn't loud, crowded with boats, and it has clean, clear water. Camp Ohana is the most amazing place on McGrath. The Rosato family has clearly put a lot of effort into updating the whole camp, and making it very comfortable. They have considered every single detail that matters in a rental. It is the kind of place that makes it difficult to go back home! As if that isn't enough, the Rosatos are very responsive and easy to communicate with. I could go on and on about Camp Ohana, but allow the reviews speak for themselves, and don't waste your time considering other places. Just book it!

Wonderful getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at Camp Ohana! The place was clean and well appointed (plenty of towels, linens, dishes, pots & pans, etc.) for all four of us to enjoy our 3+ week stay here. We used the kayaks, made fires almost every night, and enjoyed relaxing on the comfy couches. The Rosatos checked in periodically to make sure everything was going well (which it was) and we appreciated their communication. We definitely recommend Camp Ohana and would love to visit again!

Perfect Lake Getaway

One of the best places we have rented in the Belgrade Lake region. The house is completely updated and very comfortable. Very spacious with the upstairs and basement living room. The outside is the true star - large lakefront setting with Adirondack chairs, firepit, lots of kayaks and paddleboards, large dock to sit out an enjoy the beautiful McGrath Pond. Location close to the convenience of shopping and restaurants in Waterville make this a great rental. If you see an open week, grab it!
