We’re so happy you and your families had such a great time at the Lake House! Being able to hop in the boats, paddle over to the beach, and swim right in the lake. We’re thrilled you made the most of it. We’re glad the house was exactly as you expected and that you felt supported throughout your stay. We’d love to have you back anytime for more lake days, boating adventures, and swimming fun!
Home was very comfortable and clean . The lake was beautiful.. easy access to canoes and kayak . Enjoyable local hikes and day in nearby Jim Thorpe. It was very easy to get in touch with Ricky and he was always receptive and helpful. We really enjoyed the spacious hot tub.. perfect for our group of 7. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful family vacation at this beach house(5 days). They have everything you need for a day on the lake. We enjoyed kayaking and canoeing over to the beach. The lake is on the small size which worked well for our family. The game room was a blast with lots of family competitions. They provided extensive information regarding local activities which made it very easy to plan our trip. The kids loved the ATV tour and we all enjoyed hiking to the waterfalls. Lovely vacation

My family of 9 people had great time at Mt Maplewood. Ricky was so helpful before we arrived and although we didn’t need him during our stay I’m sure he would have been very attentive if we needed him. The arrival and departure process was very easy. The house was great and the yard and lake so peaceful. We really wanted a low key vacation and that’s exactly what we got. Recommend !

Thank you for the kind words! It makes me so happy to hear your family found exactly the peaceful, low-key vacation you were hoping for. Sometimes the best trips are the ones where you can just settle in, unplug, and enjoy the quiet beauty of the lake—and it sounds like that’s exactly what you did.
I always aim to make things as smooth and easy as possible, so I’m glad the arrival and departure process helped set the tone. You were wonderful guests, and I’d love to welcome your crew back anytime!
Overall really great house and setting, the lake is mostly for boating.

We had a great time. The view is great. We didn’t get to use the lake because it was cold. The game room offered an alternative source of entertainment during the chilly nights. The host was friendly and helpful.

Thank you so much for the kind words! We're thrilled you had a great time and found the game room a fun alternative when the weather kept you off the lake. The views really do shine year-round, and we're always happy to help make your stay as smooth as possible. We'd love to welcome you back when it's warm enough to get out on the water—and keep the fun going both inside and out!
Beautiful area. Perfect view of the lake from in and oit of the home. The house was clean and maintained very well. The price was a bit high for only 2 nights. I completely understand the reason for the higher cost then other places. I could tell the owner of the home takes pride in the property and wants anyone staying there to do the same. It was so peaceful. Thank you Ricky for giving my family the opportunity to stay at your property and to have as a great memory.
