Walley World it's not! So if you don't like spending your vacation standing in lines, but you like nature and want a peaceful vacation getaway; you'll love "MAPLE RIDGE"! More than just a rental property, our family home is a beautiful two story 3,500+ square foot Vermont white pine rustic log cabin situated on 45 quiet secluded private wooded acres in a rural country area of Northeast Pennsylvania known as The Endless Mountains. It is surrounded in hard woods and hemlock forests and is PERFECT FOR UP TO 2 FAMILIES looking for an outdoor SERENITY FILLED NATURE WILDLIFE VACATION RETREAT or maybe a GREAT FAMILY REUNION. Wildlife (deer, turkey, grouse, fox, squirrels, chipmunks, etc.) abounds with two fields (eight acres total) for viewing. Whether you are a runner, jogger or walker you will love the hilly tree canopied hiking trails in the woods. And there is a gentle stream for serenity. You will feel as if it's your own private wilderness. If you love the beautiful autumn colored foliage, the first 2 weeks of October are in prime fall leaf colors.
The logcabin is made from solid rough finished northern white pine logs inside and out. The vaulted ceiling reaches to the log roof of the second floor with a balcony overlooking the living room. A large sky light provides additional natural light in the living room. The stone fireplace and cherry mantel were made from materials on the property. Handmade Montana log furniture abounds in the spacious master bedroom and living room. A large covered east facing front porch with hammock, swing and (4)rockers is great for a late afternoon libation and relaxation in the shade. An outdoor firepit is available for roasting marshmallows or a bonfire; along with (2)picnic tables, a hammock, and a large gas BBQ barbecue grill.
A large modern eat-in kitchen with bar looks out a large bay window to the beautiful scenic wooded acreage. The kitchen is fully stocked with all paper goods, spices, and some condiments. An inside 5 person HotSpring jacuzzi hot tub spa sits in a private room again with a forested view. The two downstairs bedrooms consist of a log king bed (master) and the other has a queen. The two upstairs bedrooms have a queen bed, and the other has a double along with two twins. All bedding and bathrooms have a wildlife motif. Upstairs there is a huge open play area adjoining the loft bedroom, perfect for kids. There is also a NEW BRUNSWICK 8' POOL TABLE, NEW PING PONG table, air hockey, dart board, board games and table with (4) bar stools with a large sky light above.

We are 15 miles from the NY border and 30 miles due south of Binghamton NY and 55 miles northwest of Scranton and Wilkes-Barre PA.

The area also boasts a variety of recreation from just pure relaxation to adrenaline filled activities such as hotair balooning,skydiving or kayaking. There is horseback riding and a trout farm.

Homeowner Response:
Dave, Rich and their party were fortunate to view a black bear that was moving through the area and took some great pictures. At one point almost appearing to pose at a stump just outside the cabin.
