Better then we imagined

Our stay was just wonderful! Opening the front door you saw the beautiful lake views, and a nice welcome basket on the counter. The area was so open, we could all be together and the dining room table sat 12 of us. Comfortable beds and big sofas to relax on! Bathrooms were redone very nicely and well supplied. The owners were amazing!

This property had everything we needed! We stayed a few days with the family and enjoyed every minute. Fishing was good for the littles..they were able to catch a few fish so that keep them happy. If there would be one thing it would be nice to have an additional fridge in the basement. But that wasnt a huge deal. The hosts couldnt have been more helpful and friendly. It is for sure on the top of our list of properties.

Very roomy and it had the best-stocked kitchen of any rental we’ve ever stayed in. Lots of seating areas, there were sleds for the kids to use on the sloped yard and they had a blast. With 13 of us, we were afraid that we wouldn’t have enough beds, bathrooms, or space in general, but we were very comfortable here. Would definitely come back, hopefully during warmer weather to take advantage of the lake. But no matter the season, book with confidence that you will have plenty of comfortable beds, seating, bathrooms, and a lot of extra little touches to make for a very pleasant stay. There was a grocery store, a Walmart, a pizza place, a Subway, and a bar and grill all within a short drive, so that was very handy. Plenty of towels and blankets. I can’t think of a thing that was missing; these hosts thought of it all!

Amazing stay! Great communication & great check in ( early drop off much appreciated) 6 ladies celebrating a birthday. Plenty of room plus! Fantastic view of lake ( chilly outdoors so didn’t spend time outside) Very clean & could tell they really thought about necessities that you would need. Special welcome basket was so thoughtful. Had a great time! Thanks so much Would stay again.

10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to stay close to the cities but far enough to be “up north”! We live just 40 minutes away and called it a “staycation” for my 30th birthday! Incredibly flexible with family guests coming to visit, Evan was a great communicator, helpful neighbors, the living area was so nice and big and big enough beds for more than one couple which is hard to find! They had EVERYTHING we needed from beach towels, beach toys, dinnerware and a highchair! The only things that would’ve made our week long stay-cation better would be an additional fridge considering we were there for a full week and the dock was a little steep to walk up when we had grandparents there! We are already talking about coming back next summer!!!
Beautiful beach area!
Paddle board was a huge hit!

About the host

Hosted by Evan Fercho

Host profile image
We have been married for over 20 years and have 2 children. Sarah grew up coming to Maple Lake on the weekends and continues to enjoy the it as an adult with her family. We made our dream of owning on the lake a reality in the summer of 2024 and want to share our home with you and your family.

Why they chose this property

The location of our home on Middle Maple is perfect. Great lake access without all the boat traffic. Peaceful, sandy beach and swimming area with a wonderful flat yard for games, meals, bonfires and more. Easy access from the house to the lake (lower level walkout).

What makes this property unique

Our home is a standout on Maple Lake due to the size, layout, and waterfront. You won't find another house with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a sandy beach and swimming area around!
