Lots of room for our large group to spread out and eat together. The kitchen was well-appointed. A little education on maple syrup production was an added bonus.
The property and amenities were exactly as advertised. The hosts were very prompt on responses and available for any questions, if needed. The bedrooms must be well insulated because it was soooo quiet even with about 10 people staying in the house. The beds were very comfortable. Even in February, the view of the river is beautiful, especially the sunrises! Our entire extended family enjoyed our stay and highly recommend! Thank you! :)
Fantastic house! Plenty of kitchen supplies and the maple syrup was delicious! Clean and tidy! Fun outdoor games, fire pit and accommodations for all! Owners were very responsive to our communication and questions! Would definitely stay here again!!
6 friends on a girl's weekend getaway. Great house! Fully equipped with everything we needed. Lots of room to relax and visit. Highly recommend this house!
We had a wonderful time. Lots of room for everyone to enjoy. Fun things to do in the community. We have rented it already for next year. Lots of hiking trails and biking and trails.
The directions were easy to follow, including gaining access to the house and the wifi access. Both of the owners were responsive when I had questions. Definitely a great house to use for a family reunion.
Absolutely perfect for our family gathering to celebrate Mom's 80th... great indoors, great outdoors, great location! Very timely active owner support when a storm took out power as we were checking in.
Beautifully located among maple trees, a large lawn for outdoor games, and plenty of interior room to spread out, this was an ideal location for our family group! Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms!
It was our first Christmas without my husband, and I wanted to do something special for my family. The house was perfect for us to spend time together. We enjoyed walking downtown and attending Mass on Christmas Eve. We had plenty of space to play games and watch Christmas movies on a large screen. A Christmas tree was set up, and the kids were able to "trim" it. Every kitchen tool was available to make our meals, and the large table fit us all! We enjoyed the lights at Miracle at Big Rock one night. It is a great location with many things to see and do nearby! What a view! It will be a Christmas to remember! Thank you so much!
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.
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!
Property was as pictured, clean and cupboards well labeled. The living room is huge and yet still cozy. It’s very close to fun shops and bars. We really enjoyed the porch and fire pit (huge bonus that firewood was provided). 4 out of 7 found their beds to be comfortable. 3 of the 7 the beds were way too hard and would benefit greatly from some memory foam. It has a rating of three stars because as soon as you enter the house, it smells musty like it’s been closed up for years. We had to open all of the windows all day long to make it better and it was a little chilly for that. Then every time we would close up the house and leave, we would come back to the same musty smell.
This was perfect for our large group. Quiet. Clean. We cooked most meals there. Multiple areas to to things together either inside or out so that everyone isn't on top of one another. Hosts are available and friendly. My father and I each had nice conversations with Don. The home facilited a wonderful reunion.
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!

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!

About the host
Hosted by Don Hansen & Sydney Paredes (husband & wife)
Don & Sydney have lived in Taylors Falls many years and 4 years ago purchased the house next door, remodeled and improved it, and listed in on Airbnb. In 2021 they added "Maple House" to VRBO so others might benefit from a stay at this lovely spacious home in the village of Taylors Falls. Don is retired from the USGS (hydrologist) and Sydney continues her work as an executive coach. Because they are next door, Don & Sydney can be very responsive to guests' needs and love to meet people who come for gatherings in the St. Croix River Valley. They have a maple syrup operation at their home so in spring you'll see buckets on trees and can smell the wonderful maple syrup smell. They gift a small bottle of pure maple syrup to guests and syrup is available for sale. All funds go to two local Lutheran youth groups who help sap and sell the syrup. Sydney is a avid traveler and has stayed at vacation rentals around the world and knows from first-hand experience what guests need and want. They both love to meet guests AND will never invade your privacy.
Why they chose this property
Great location in village of Taylors Falls, off the beaten path for quiet and privacy and very close to the villages, the river, Wild Mountain & Trollhaugen, wineries, the National Park, two state parks, lakes and rivers. Fun shopping & sightseeing and Turtle Lake Casino just 30 minutes away. Nice walks and hiking trails nearby and a children's playground across the street.
What makes this property unique
Gathering space for large groups and families that also allows for individual retreat spaces and privacy with 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and several outdoor and indoor spaces to hang out. The "great room" is huge and well-named.... guests enter the room and say, "This is a GREAT room!". That we can accommodate up to 9 cars parked off street is also a plus when families and groups gather together from different locations.
