Much needed getaway

Our party ranged in age from 3 to 78 and we all enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. We had a few days of relaxing and then our small grandchildren for a long weekend. Even the rainy weather didn't stop us from enjoying the trails. We visited the Cheese Factory and brought back lots of cheese to enjoy. The cabin has a calming, back to nature feel with all the modern conveniences. Would definitely return to this sanctuary in the mountains. Thanks for a fabulous week.

The cabin and property is beautiful and is well stocked. It was a very relaxing week. We ended up grilling every night as the grill is very nice and we enjoyed the meats we purchased at the local butcher, Dotti Lou's. We especially enjoyed their chicken broccoli cheese sausage and their bacon. We also went to the Cheese Factory and ended up coming home with a lot of delicious cheeses to share with our family and friends along with the sausage from Dotti Lou's. Looking to going bacCk again.

We had an incredibly relaxing time at your cabin! There was plenty of room for all 6 guys to relax. We spent the majority of our evenings sitting on the front porch, relaxing on the rockers. As night time came, we used the fire pit and burned a lot of wood!! Thanks for supplying such a large amount, i think we went through about half of it!! I was grilling steaks on the grill (excellent grill by the way!), whenI looked over into the woods and saw the bear!! I admit that I ran like a girl inside to get the others. When they came out, they were able to see him just sauntering down the hill. I can't think of a single thing I would change, thanks again!! Pete

I was looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway for a very long weekend. The weekend was my 6 month wedding anniversary -- but also the anniversary of my son's passing. After looking through many listings I found Maple Ridge. The owner was spot-on with his description & it delivered all it promised. I was looking for either long romantic walks through nature trails or long walks with alot of reflection on my son's life. I didn't know which it would be, as you just never know how or when the passing of a loved one will hit you. Maple Ridge was the perfect setting. I was so taken with the atmosphere, everything I had planned was changed. I had planned day trips to see various sites and attractions, I had planned a dinner or two out, etc. When we got there we just never left. I barbequed every night. We walked the trails, we enjoyed nature. We saw deer everyday, a tiny fawn, chipmunks, and birds that I needed to look up on the internet to name. We sat outside in rocking chairs each night and just talked. The owner has great tips but here's a couple more: 1- Bugs on trails are not an issue. Nature takes care of itself. I have much more problems sitting on my own porch on Long Island. 2- Buy food once you get there to stock the fridge. I bought everything in advance and used coolers because I didn't think the local grocery store would be well stocked. I pictured a tiny grocery store with limited selection for such a small town. The grocery store was as good as anything I've ever seen. 3- The property borders a beautiful steam/creek. Bring a couple umbrella chairs and a cooler as there is a little clearing to set-up and quietly watch the wildlife. 4- Have a couple of drinks before you shoot pool or play ping-pong in the loft. I was very rusty and it made me care less about losing my former skills ! ;) 5- Get a police grade flashlight. When you are sitting on the porch at night there is nothing but blackness all around. You can't see 15 feet beyond the porch. It is wonderfully peaceful but every once in awhile it is fun to scan the forest. 6- If you like the stars, bring your telescope there is a huge clearing about 100 feet from the house where you can set-up and watch the stars/planets. As far as compliments - It was obvious to me that the owner had just cleared 15+ trees from the trails - a huge task, but totally indicative of the level of pride he takes in his rental property. Suggestion - a small groomed area at the lower clearing - near the bench.

My husband and I had our honeymoon at this wonderful, peaceful, and secluded cabin. It was the best vacation I ever had. I would definitely recommend it to anybody. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to possibly visiting again. I would even recommend this to a family. It is no nice and relaxing and even though it is secluded, there are things to do that is not a long drive. Thank you Bob again for such a memorable and awesome honeymoon.

It is difficult to explain this incredible log home. It is tucked deep into the woods, and yet easy to find on well maintained country roads. There are so many wonderful extras, such as the pool table and ping pong table and satellite television. Our favorite part was sitting in the rocking chairs outside watching the fire burn. The mornings are beautiful as well, with all kinds of wild life. The owners and the managers are friendly and accomodating. We hope to make it an annual event.

We spent several wonderful day's at Maple Ridge visiting with our family. It is surrounded by tall trees and huge ferns! The cabin was well stocked with everything you need which made cooking a pleasure and activities to keep children busy. My grandson caught an orange salamander which was very exciting to him!

Me and my five buddies from college/hometown stayed here over Columbus Day Weekend for our 20th annual fall get-together. This by far was the best ever. The cabin was a perfect venue...quiet, secluded and serene setting...tall trees, beautiful fall foliage, friendly neighbors (who let us fish in their private pond) but gave us space, bucolic town and countryside...plentiful firewood and great firepit for bonfires or cooking. Comfortable accomodations, clean and bright lodging easily held our group, and could have easily slept anothter 4-5. Well-appointed kitchen, satellite TV to watch the ballgames, pool table for at-home fun, and hot tub to soak the bones after days hiking or mountain biking the trails. Owner responsive and easy to work with. Definitely plan to return again to this gem! A great value!
