Private Lakeside Cottage Hideaway | Family Vacation Perfection | 6b/4b Sleeps 20

🌿 Discover Serenity at the Cottage at Maple Pond

Nestled on 19 acres of old oaks and stately maples, the newly-constructed Cottage at
Maple Pond offers you the feeling of total privacy—while only a 7-minute drive from
I-77.

With 4 bedrooms split between 2 floors and an additional guest cottage available
should you need it, your large group will have plenty of space to unpack, unwind,
and spread out.

FROM GRANDPARENTS TO TODDLERS, THERE'S SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE.

Whether it’s Grandpa teaching his teenaged grandson to unhook a fish in 3 seconds
flat…

...or watching your 3-year-old get up close and personal with a bullfrog…

...we’ve created a space for multiple generations to reconnect, without the buzzing
distractions of day-to-day life.

NATURE LOVERS WELCOME

From sunup ‘til sundown, we have a variety of outdoor activities to keep the whole
family entertained.

Whether it’s exploring our nature trails on foot or bike, taking a dip in the hot tub
under the stars, or paddling around the private, 2-acre pond, there’s no limit to
things you can do outside.

AIR HOCKEY, ANYONE?

Should the weather turn sour on you, head inside to the game room that’s sure to
get any teen’s stamp of approval.

Go head-to-head over a game of:
- Air Hockey
- Ping Pong
- Arcade
- Nintendo & Playstation games
- Skeeball
- Indoor basketball just like the ones you remember from childhood

GATHER 'ROUND THE TABLE

Finish off a day of laughs and games in our spacious kitchen with ample seating
around an Amish-built, custom oak table.

If a home cooked meal is in your plans, you’ll appreciate the fully stocked kitchen so
no one will waste time on a last minute grocery trip.

Come experience the peace and relaxation that only comes from escaping the usual
hustle of your days.

Nicest VRBO ever
Rose is a wonderful host who did lots of little things to make us feel welcome and comfortable. We had 7 adults and 10 kids between ages of 4 and 13. They all had a blast playing in the pond together! The facilities were beautifully appointed and maintained.

Incredible Property
We had an amazing 4th of July weekend at this location. There were 16 of us including teenagers and senior citizens with many in between. Everyone was thoroughly impressed with the property which included ample space, numerous activity options, and pristine amenities. We also reserved the guesthouse and the kids enjoyed having their own spot. Rose was a delight to work with and handled every detail to make it a wonderful experience. If you looking for a house to accommodate a large group this is your property!

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 just got married here with 10 of our closest family members! We stayed 3 nights and the place had everything we needed! 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.

Amazing Experience
Every year the ladies in my family get together for our annual Woman-to-Woman Retreat. This year we stayed at this beautiful home. The stay could not have been any more perfect. The house was so clean, stocked with everything we needed, the beds were comfortable, the amenities (game room, kayaking, canoe, hot tub, etc) were perfect, and working with the management team was so delightful. From the moment I registered they were more than helpful. I highly recommend this location to families wanting to get away. We can't wait to try out another one of their properties in the future.

Best Rental Experience
Rose is the best host I have come across. She was extremely proactive in checking in with us if we had questions or needs. The property was immaculate, the kitchen had everything we needed including a griddle, a nice blender and a lighter for birthday candles that I had forgotten. She knew there was a special occasion we were coming to celebrate and was so kind to leave a special decoration for my mom. All 17 of us mentioned at least every hour, “This place is incredible”. I can’t gush enough about Rose and her beautiful property.

Wonderful Property for Family Gathering
The Cottage at Maple Pond is lovely, nestled in a serene and beautiful setting. The kitchen is fully equipped and the bedrooms and bathrooms nicely outfitted with linens and supplies. Our host provided very open lines of communication, from the time of booking until our departure. Fresh chocolate chip cookies heralded our arrival! Our family enjoyed the spacious indoor spaces for gathering around the fireplace and we especially appreciated the large table for gathering for meals and board games! The lower level recreational opportunities were amazing and enjoyed by all. The cottage interior was very clean and welcoming, and the exterior boasted a nice flat, paved walkway between our vehicles and the cottage entrance. We will certainly return for another family vacation! Thank you for hosting an amazing experience for our family!

Winter getaway
I have to say the biggest thing that stuck out for me was when I was going to bed, I never heard a place so quiet and peaceful. My most favorite is the stunning view of the lake from every window and position from each outdoor venue. Since we weren’t able to use the property to it’s entirety for a great summer day, the house has enough to make any venture an amazing experience. And let me not forget Rose, our host. Hands down the best host ever and very personable.
