Girls Trip
Girls Trip for 6. Wonderful accommodations and wonderful hosts. Lots of room for 6 of us to spread out. The house was very well furnished. We weren't lacking for anything. It was very clean and was very much as described. We hope to return for another trip in the future. I would highly recommend it a group.

50+ year college reunion
The Maple House was absolutely perfect for our group of nine women who have been gathering regularly for decades. Just perfect! Gorgeous great room for gathering; six beautiful bedrooms; three sparkling bathrooms; a refreshing screened porch; a lovely outdoor seating area; a beautiful private and wooded setting; amazingly equipped kitchen; spacious dining room; incredibly clean. Sydney and Don have thought of everything and were so accommodating. The Welcome Book was more thorough and detailed than any I’ve ever encountered. We were all beyond impressed with our hosts’ attention to detail in providing a spacious yet cozy environment for us. I’ve never stayed at a more impressive VRBO, nor have I worked with such helpful and communicative hosts (who also live next door). Our group will definitely be returning in the future.

Great Place for Friends or Family
All of us siblings and spouses spent a long weekend together enjoying the location where our aunt and uncle lived while we were growing up. Of course we invited our cousins for an outdoor barbecue and the 10 of us grew to 25. What a beautiful home, with plenty of space and a great kitchen. The fire pit is even stocked with wood!

Great place for our family gathering!
The reason for staying that this property was so that all our children & grandchildren could be with us to help us celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. It had sufficient room for the 15 of us, two of which were under five years of age. There was an ideal room for that family to be together apart from the rest. The master bedroom & master bath were also apart from the others & located on the main floor. In addition to the sleeping quarters there was a large dining area where we enjoyed a couple of meals together as a family & also used it for a game night. There was also a large living room where we could all gather. A three-season porch was also an area we made use of. The kitchen appliances were ample for our needs, the large refrigerator was especially appreciated. The grill provided on the patio had room for all twelve steaks we needed for one of our meals. One night we enjoyed gathering around a fire on the patio, the host having provide the fire pit & the firewood. The yard had ample room for games of spikeball & cornhole to be played at the same time, as well as two people playing catch. We had a wonderful time together as a family.

Property was easy to find, close to grocery store. Quiet neighborhood. Owners were very gracious upon our arrival. Went for a family reunion in Turtle Lake, WI so we did not get to take advantage of all this house has to offer due to traveling to Turtle Lake each day. We did utilize the kitchen and dinning room table almost every day for breakfast and evening snacks. Kitchen had all the necessities needed for preparing meals. Beds were comfortable. Great enclosed porch and the patio under the shade trees.

Room for everyone! We spent most of our time in the screened porch which has a large table for family games. Large pans in kitchen good for feeding a crowd. Tons of dishes and drink ware made mealtime easy. Hosts provided great basics, dish and dishwasher soap, shampoos, conditioners, body washes, etc. in each bathroom, ample towels. Everything marked clearly in kitchen. Highly recommend!

Just like home
Our group of six adults felt right at home at this lovely place. We enjoyed the large tables and sofa /chair arrangement for close seating and conversation. The kitchen had everything we could want or need. The place was clean, the laundry facilities were great. The hosts were prompt in communication. Were I to reserve again, and it would be very easy to make that decision, I would just double check that the uncomfortable peak and valley mattress in that one bedroom was replaced as they indicated was in their plan. We had a great time in this community and the ease and ample space of this home added to the enjoyment of our family time together. Please consider this lovely place for your large group rental.

Fun place to stay with a family
We had a great time at this property. The house provided plenty of room for everyone to have their own space but also worked well for together time. The house was particularly well stocked (from kitchen items to soaps and shampoos) relative to other VRBOs. Property owners were very easy to deal with. We would definitely stay again.

A special setting for a special event
This is an amazing place. The owners have thought of everything. Extremely well equipped kitchen with high-quality cookware. Comfortable beds. Clean, well-maintained property inside and out. Plenty of seating for our family reunion outside around the fire, in the the Great Room and in the dining room. Maple House invited us to gather as one group and in smaller groups to get reacquainted with our family, which including ages 2-60. We'd love to come back year after year!
