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.

Perfect vacation spot for families!

The house was absolutely perfect for our families! Well equipped and right on the lake with boats and life jackets of all sizes and a fantastic beach with swimming access that we could boat to. The house was exactly as pictured and advertised and the host was very communicative and helpful. Would definitely stay again!

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

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.

Family 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 !

Very comfortable house for a larger family. Four bedrooms, larger living room, three season room and game room in the garage for indoor days and a large yard, right on the lake, for outdoor days. Direct access to launch kayak and canoe. Mini-split AC units in all but one bedroom and the house stayed cool even though we had some hot, humid days. Direct-line propane grill, so no worries about the tank going empty mid-vacation! And nothing beats waking up at sunrise on a lake (see picture)

Loved our time at the lake house.

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.

The perfect family friendly location with lots to do

This house was beautiful and the view was even better, the house was clean and well taken care of. I was very grateful for the number of gates and doors which really helped to create a toddler friendly environment. We loved the area and were greeted with a mommy and baby deer as soon as we pulled in. We were able to utilize the boats and really enjoyed being on the water. The host was so amazing and available, when we couldn’t figure out how the heat worked he took time out of his day to walk us through it. He provided ample amount of information ahead of our stay that we were properly prepared for our stay.

Best Vacation We Ever Had!

Can not say enough about this wonderful property and our experience in this community. The house itself was spotless, so comfortable and really beautiful. We absolutely loved the room looking over the lake and we spent hours there. The community is very quiet and so peaceful, which promoted total relaxation. We loved the kayak and boat and the lake was gorgeous. The hot tub was just awesome! We cooked out and shared all our meals having used the super well-equipped kitchen which had everything. The bedrooms were spacious and so comfortable. This was probably the most wonderful vacation we’ve ever had and certainly was the most beautiful home we’ve ever rented. Ricky was the most conscientious and responsive host! He ensured a wonderful experience. We have already planned our return for next year. Can’t wait to come back!!!
