About Bill McGrath

I am one of twelve children. I grew up in Meriden, CT and used to come to Forest Lake every Summer, since 1950. I graduated from the University of Hartford in Hartford, CT in 1979 with BS in Business Administration and graduated with MBA in Management in 1986. I spent most of my career as Material Manager for a small company in Bloomfield, CT. My wife and I are currently retired. I am currently on the Winchester School Board and on the Zoning Board of Adjustment.

Bill McGrath purchased this apartment in 2005
Why Bill McGrath chose Winchester

I spent every Summer here, since 1950. I really loved the area and the people. My dream was to retire here. We purchased this property in 1992 and in 2005 we built our retirement home on Forest Lake. It's like being on vacation year round. We hate to leave to go anywhere else.

What makes this apartment unique

We love the lake, the woods, and the mountains. We like the rural character of the area. It's so peaceful and serene. It's like being on vacation year round. We like to travel, but we enjoy the area so much we don't like to leave.

My husband and I spent a weekend at this apartment, and we're planning to return next year. The view of the lake from the living room is amazing! Unfortunately, we didn't have sunny days, but it was still great to just relax, reading and watching the rain on the lake. The house had everything we needed, and the owners, Bill and Sandy, could not be more friendly and attentive. They'll do everything to make sure you have an excellent stay. And we definitely did. Can't wait to go back, hopefully for a sunny summer week!

Bill and Sandy were great hosts. We enjoyed our stay in their home. The kids spent all day on the lake swimming, kayaking and fishing. I plan on coming back with my son for a little ice fishing this winter!

Great place for a family to get away and enjoy the great outdoors.
Owner's Response: Tom, It was our pleasure hosting you and your family. I enjoyed teaching your son, Nick, how to water-ski. I had a feeling that he was going to get up on the first try and he didn't disappoint me. We look forward to hosting you and your family again sometime in the future.

This is a wonderful spot. We were there for tounaments that my children were participating in but wished we could've spent the entire time at the lake. The home was immaculate with all the comforts of home, the owners couldn't have been more accomodating to our family and the lake was beautiful. All the use of the boats and the option too ski was a great plus. We have already booked for next year! This vacation spot is highly recommended.
Owner's Response: Thank you David and Kristine. It was our pleasure hosting you and your family. The boys really enjoyed the fishing and the boating. We are looking forward to you returning next year. Thank you for booking again.

Accommodations met expectations. Early morning kayak trips around the lake and daily swims were great. We took a day trip to Boston which was very manageable. Keene and other towns satisfied our needs for the week. Our family of six adults were comfortable during the stay. Bill and Sandie were gracious hosts. We have already recommended this property to our friends.
Good location for relaxation and a peaceful setting.
