This is an ideal place for a family gathering or a reunion. We had a wedding at the nearby Magnolia Spring Farms. The property has everything you need and more. It's beautifully decorated and has high-quality finishes and decorations. We were there in early fall, a couple of weeks from the leaves changing, and it was nice. This place is great for year-round stays. Would definitely stay there again and recommend the host. Highly communicative and fulfilled everything as promised.

Amazing !!!
I can’t say enough good about the Cottage on Maple Pond. It was wonderful. Our whole family enjoyed our time there. Our sons and grandsons fished from dawn to dusk. They loved it. Everything was perfect. Rose thought of everything down to the last detail. I never stayed at a place that supplied so much. We all can’t wait to come back.

Family adventure
From the driving directions Rose provided for our family to get to the Cottage, to the special surprise provided at the end of our stay, the weekend could not have been any better or more enjoyable for all.While the cottage was described beautifully online, we found it to be so much more when we arrived. Simply breathtaking... Pleanty of space for our family of 8 ( 1 on the way) to relax and not be crawling over each other when we wanted a little quiet space, but so beautifully decorated with pleanty of open space for our family to gather for games & late christmas celebration. The cottage was still decorated with simply beautiful christmas decorations, and special treats and a gift was waiting for us when we arrived. From getting up early for a little coffee & quiet time while others got to sleep in, to walks down by the pond & on the wooded trails, to a campfire @ night, this was a family trip made in heaven, and made possible by our new friends who provided the cottage @ maple pond. With part of our family located on the west coast not being able to travel home to Ohio until begining of the year, I believe we've now found our "forever" home for our future "christmas in January" celebrations for years to come. Thank you so much to Rose and your family for such a beautiful weekend! were perfemembers the drive seemlessly.

Perfection
What a stunning place, and what an exceptional host! I cannot say enough about the house. It comes with everything a family would want and need. We held our family Christmas here and had a wonderful time. The game room downstairs was perfect for kids and adults. Many hours of fun were had. The upstairs was large enough to move around very comfortably, and the table provided plenty of space to sit. The host, Rose, found out we were hosting Christmas at the house and put up the Christmas decor early for us. She was so thoughtful, helpful, and wonderful to work with. We cannot wait to come back. The entire family raved about how amazing the house was. Thank you for everything!

Thanksgiving at The Cottage
The home was absolutely wonderful. We enjoyed all the outside activities and all the fun games in the lower level. The house had everything we needed to host our Thanksgiving get together and the fireplace was so cosy. We thought there would be 6 bedrooms because that was what the listing stated so when we got there we were a bit confused to find that there were only 4. You had to rent the cabin next door to get 2 more bedrooms. There were several couches so we made it work. Rose was the most gracious host we have ever had at a vrbo. We would definitely stay there again.

Everyone was thoroughly impressed with the property which included ample space, numerous activity options, and pristine amenities.

If I ever created a vacation rental, this is the property and service I would strive to achieve.
I hope we can get back to the area again and hope this property is available. I cannot recommend this enough, and we really didn’t even utilize the property here as much as we would’ve liked to. Wonderful host and wonderful stay and the attention to detail is the best I’ve ever seen in any rental I’ve ever done. Please respect this house. They certainly have gone out of the way to ensure their guest are treated to a first class experience.

The Perfect Relaxing Girls Weekend
I had the most incredible weekend at the Cottage at Maple Pond, celebrating with my friends on a relaxing girls' weekend. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the charm and coziness of the cottage..even though it’s large enough to fit 12-14 😂 . The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring we had restful nights after all the laughter and fun by the firepit.
What truly impressed us was how well-stocked the house was. It seemed like the host had thought of everything - from kitchen essentials like SEASONINGS and cooking oils (we always forget this stuff) to video games and firewood, it was all there for us to enjoy. We spent our time by the pond, around the fire and the large dining tables making unforgettable memories and soaking in the serene atmosphere.
Speaking of the host, they were simply awesome. Friendly, accommodating, and always ready to help with any questions or requests we had. And let's not forget those incredible homemade cookies that welcomed us upon arrival - they were a delightful treat and set the tone for the whole weekend.
Overall, the Cottage at Maple Pond provided the perfect backdrop for our girls' weekend, and I can't recommend it enough. It was a fantastic getaway filled with fun, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime. Can’t wait to bring my family here!

We enjoyed the private pond, all the arcade games in the basement and most of all just the beautiful scenery on the property! Rose is available for easy communication! She even had her delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies awaiting upon our arrival and a s’mores kit from a local business! We also enjoyed a fair in the local town! A lot of history in this small little cute town.
