Great stay!
The house is clean and well-appointed. There’s a game room and a hot tub (we didn’t use the hot tub or fire pit) but they are nice options. Great location, we went to a local vineyard and a sushi restaurant for takeout and both were close. There is also an outlet mall nearby so plenty to do even if you don’t ski. Thanks for a great stay!

Perfect Lakeview House
Had a great time with the family celebrating my husband‘s 60th birthday. The view of the lake was beautiful with a perfect spot for fire pit. House was very spacious; lots of room to accommodate everyone. Great information from Ricky. He was very quick to respond and very accommodating. Great neighborhood. Kitchen well equipped. Game room and hot tub a plus would highly recommend.

Another wonderful weekend at Mt. Maplewood
This was our second year spending a Fall weekend at this property and it was even better than the last. The beds have been updated and are comfortable in all of the rooms. We had another rainy day that kept us off the hiking trails, but there was no shortage of entertainment with the game room, tv, and watching the rain and visiting deer from the sunroom. Ricky is immediately available for any questions, but makes sure you have all of the information you need to enjoy the house before you ever arrive. They also have baby gear available to help minimize packing for the little ones! We look forward to many more stays here in the future.

Relaxing quick getaway
Spent 3 nights with the intent to just relax and enjoy the fall weather. Everything was easy and exactly as described from the time of booking until check out. The hosts are helpful and very communicative both before and during the stay. The house location is fantastic, lakefront with everything you could need. I loved that the houses weren’t right on top of each other and the trees provided a sense of space and privacy. The sun room looking out on the lake was cozy, the various outdoor seating options were a plus. Loved the fire pit, hot tub and available games/activities. The kitchen is stocked with pretty much anything you could need. The rooms were clean and comfortable. I loved how every light switch had a label so you know what it turned on/off! Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again, although would plan for an extra day or two.

Beautiful lakefront
Gorgeous lakefront, lots of windows to see it, place to sit outside and enjoy it, and even boats to experience it. House itself is very clean and tastefully decorated but hasn't been updated recently. The housing development rules are annoying (limiting fire times and having nutty rules about garbage disposal) but not terrible. Also linens are not included which is another annoying part - need to either bring your own linens or rent but either way you need to make and strip the beds. But the view is amazing and the whole house is nice and we really enjoyed the quiet and calm. Also the beds are more comfortable than it looks in the pics. Communication with property owner/manager was excellent - extremely responsive and helpful.

Thank you for your review and so happy to hear you enjoyed the lake house with your family! We did have a recent township ordinance that had some restrictions because of challenging situations that were affecting the full-time residents in our lovely family community. This led to limiting late-night hours so as to not disturb residents and those visiting the Poconos. The garbage hours are 8 am to 6 pm and I worked with the local HOA board to move to every day as it used only to be 5 days a week so renters could access it daily. We try and make everything clear in the listing as well as our documentation. We sent all the info that you may have missed in the listing when booking, in the confirmation, reviewed it on our courtesy phone call, and know there is a wealth of info as we understand each home operates differently. The majority of our guests bring their linens and it is not included in the price of the rental, as described. We have an option to add on as our return families have asked to keep it optional to save on the associated costs. We do have a linen rental company that is great and does any a la carte services and we have a discount code as well for another great way to save! We have been working to update rooms and worked with the interior decorator as we refreshed the decor, converted the garage to a game room, outside areas, some new boats, all new fans, dishwasher, fireplace hearth, new colors for each room; the sunroom, kitchen cabinets, all three bathrooms, and I recently spent a week repainting the dining room. There are also some hidden features guests do not see like our new HVAC mini-splits, tankless water heater, direct gas line for grilling, water softener treatment, and backup generator. We are happy you liked the beds as these were recent upgrades and hope there are more the next time you visit!

Wonderful!
We’ve been renting homes in the poconos for 3 years now, this is our first time at maple wood lake house. You can really tell that Ricky is invested in ensuring every renter has a wonderful stay. His recommendations for things to do in the area were spot on! (Bike rides in Jim Thorpe, hiking at the falls) The house itself is well maintained and in a perfect location. The beds are very comfortable! The kitchen is fully stocked with all essential cooking items. When our children weren’t in the lake, they enjoyed all the games from the fooseball and air hockey tables to the board games in the game closet. We all enjoyed watching the stars from the hot tub at night. There is truly something for everyone here.

Family fun
The lake house was really wonderful. There was a lot to do for fun and a lot of potential for relaxation. Highlights of our stay: sitting in the sunroom to look out at the lake during a passing thunderstorm, hot tub at night with stargazing, boats we were able to take out on the lake whenever we wanted, game room with pool table was fun for the kids, nearby Kalahari waterpark was a blast. The place was very comfortable and had everything we needed; supplies were well organized and easy to find. Ricky was also a terrific host. He was accommodating and we appreciated the prompt and reliable communication.

Easter Family Time Weekend
My husband and I, my adult daughter and her fiancé along with our fur babies just got home from a relaxing long weekend at this very welcoming and comfortable Mountain Lodge. The views of the lake from the back of this home are picturesque. The hot tub and the fire pit area were perfect for slowing down and chilling out. The home has everything you need. It is very conveniently located to anything you need or want to do. The host is super-efficient and organized! We will love to stay again the next time we plan a mountain-lakeview trip.

My family did a long fall weekend at this house and it was a perfect getaway. Every room was comfortable and taken care of, we immediately felt at home. Beautiful view of the lake with just enough seclusion it was peaceful but a quick drive to restaurants and hiking trails. We loved taking the boats out and sitting in the enclosed porch to watch the wildlife. Ricky was so nice and helpful. And there was no shortage of suggestions for food and activities. My husband already wants to return during ski season!

Perfect Getaway
Our family loved getting away and staying at this beautiful home right on the lake. The home was spacious and clean. My kids especially loved having access to the boats right on the property and jumping off the dock in the swimming part of the lake (where it was deeper). We also enjoyed using the hot tub. The house was near lots of things to do, but we had a short stay so we mostly enjoyed our time on the property. In addition to swimming. using the hot tub, and utilizing the boats, we enjoyed the fire pit and made S'mores one night, and enjoyed evenings sitting in the sunroom. There are plenty of board games and books, and the game room was great, too. We played ping pong, pool, foosball, darts, and ring toss. We were able to bring our two dogs which was a big plus for us. Note that dogs are not allowed in the lake, but that was okay with us. The owner provided an extensive online guide to area attractions and information about the house and community that was very helpful. We had a great stay and would definitely return. Thank you, Ricky, for being a wonderful host.

Quiet retreat
We enjoyed our week at the lake house. Our kids (ages 13-4) loved floating around and using the kayaks/canoe. They also enjoyed the beach across the lake from the house, where the water is a little deeper. The game room was helpful on a rainy day. We took day trips to Hickory Run, ropes courses, horseback riding and Bushkill falls (all 20-45 min away). The neighborhood is quiet and close to a few good breakfast places. We had to drive a little further for dinners.

They even had a dog gate which alloww wed us to keep the dog in sections of the house easily.

Fabulous early summer weekend getaway
My family of 5 loved staying at this quaint lakehouse that balances some modern amenities with lots of lake cottage charm. We enjoyed the lake view and the quiet community. Heads up - my grandmother has some mobility issues and there’s no walk-in shower, only step-in tubs (which is fine, but I figured I’d share in case folks with mobility issues are curious). All in all, it was a great start to our summer and our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Maplewood Lakehouse. Thank you!

Excellent location, great amenities
We took 5 sixteen year olds here for the weekend to celebrate a birthday. They couldn’t stop telling us how much they loved it and thanking us for taking them. It worked perfectly for us- they took the whole upstairs and my husband and I had the master suit downstairs. The hot tub, game room, and huge supply of board games kept them well occupied when we weren’t out exploring the area. Super close to everything we needed: grocery store, beer/candy store….whaaaat?!?!, restaurants, and a really cool 2 mile hike at Highland Trail Loop (only a 6 min drive from the house and the girls felt like they were on an obstacle course/fairy garden). The only downfall was having to provide or rent linens & towels, and we struggled to operate the heat. But don’t let that deter you. I highly recommend this place!

Response from VrboOwner on 22 Aug 2023
Upon arrival they informed us that there were cobwebs outside (not inside) and send me a picture of one of the lawn chairs that did have a few leaves on it and 2nd fl bathroom that seems to have mold starting to form on the ceiling. We immediately apologized for any inconvenience. We gave options including sending the cleaners back or hiring a handyman to address any issues. We expressed we just had two huge hurricanes come through. As a result we closed the home in between rentals to avoid any leaks in windows. We informed them the house was cleaned a few days prior and the cleaning fee is for the interior and hot tub as it does rain in-between rentals and leaves fall. We also gave an option to spray it but seemed a bit unreasonable it was in that one bathroom. The rental rate was discounted and in addition offered no charge to an early check in or check out as long as we could based on availability. When informed of the options, they would not allow us to come and address the issues then replied in a text, "no its fine.” On check out we offered another extended check out and upon cleaners arriving they were able to address the mold that started to form on the 2nd fl in less than 3 minutes with a wet swiffer and some spot bleach treatment. There were some cobwebs outside but unless done everyday we understand it is the woods and there are spiders especially after 2 major storms. In conclusion, we are sad to see that after all our accommodations the guest gave us a rating so low when informing us, "no its fine.” Ultimately, it is less about the rating as we have had successful relationship building and more return guests this year than any other year, but more about giving options and taking the benefits of those accommodations but moving forward and continuing in this unreasonable manner. Not sure what their goal is here as they would not let us come to address the issues, but think this guest might be better suited in an urban hotel situation. We would not recommend this guest based on this overall rental experience. This is our family home, our future, a place our family uses, our kids cherish, a place we share with guests and ultimately a place our family plans on retiring. We understand over the years there will be unforeseen challenges but only together can we reasonably work them out.

Wonderful family getaway on the lake!!!
We stayed for a week at the lake house, and had such a wonderful time. Ricky was so kind, and spent quite a while before our trip going over all of the activities he thought our family would enjoy in the area. The house was perfect for us (kids are 11 and 8) because it had tons of entertainment (foosball, air hockey, ping pong, etc.). We absolutely loved sitting in the four season room overlooking the lake (as did our dog!), and taking the kayaks, canoe and paddle boat around any time we wanted. We would paddle across to the beach area and the kids loved swimming there. The lake is very quaint, and we often had the lake and beach to ourselves. We cannot wait to go back!!!

The Lake House was fabulous. Everything we could want in a vacation. The house was beautiful and clean. Terrific view of the lake. Bathroom and bedroom on the first floor for Grandmom. The other 2 bedrooms on the second floor were spacious. The game room was perfect for the rainy afternoon. Boating right from the property. Swimming was a short walk to the wonderful beach. The fishing was the best we ever had on vacation!!! The hot tub was extremely relaxing. Ricky was so easy to communicate with, answering texts and phone calls immediately.

Plenty of room for the 7 of us. Kitchen well stocked. Rained most of our stay but made the most of it! Men caught a lot of fish in the lake, too wet and rainy to golf, maybe next time!

I ordered as much sunshine as I could ;) Glad the house has a ton of games to keep you occupied. Next Time even more sun!

An excellent, peaceful getaway
We wanted a quiet week away from the city, and that's what we got! The home is well laid out, nicely furnished, and very well stocked. The kitchen in particular was well stocked. The community is peaceful and well organized. There are rules (namely no late night noise), and the owners are careful to go over them with you so that you understand how to have the best experience in the home. The lake is beautiful and the room overlooking it was a favorite. The owners are conscientious and thoughtful. Very responsive, and the house shows the care that they have for the property. Even light switches are labeled, so you don't have to spend time fumbling for a light or ceiling fan. We loved these details. We didn't get to use the game room much, but we could see how it would be hit for families. Thank you for a wonderful week!

Lovely and Relaxing Property
We loves the place, well kept and beautiful property. Kids had a blast on the lake and with the game room. Only negative would be that temp controls were a bit tough at times - rooms were very cold in the morning but once we got the fireplaces going everything got very cozy :) Places around there closed early and most of the take-out options where a bit "eh". The kitchen was really welll stocked though and we made most of your dishes at home. Homeowner was very responsive and wanted to make sure we had a great time.

So glad you had a wonderful time and thank you for the thoughtful comments. Thanks again for being our first guest to test out the new canoe! Since Covid, we also noticed places with reduced hours, but looking forward to opening up more this summer and with vaccines! We take some time today to evaluate the temperature and thanks to technology found some interesting info. In this recent Spring / Shoulder season it seemed to have a 40 degree range during the past week. Usually only 20 difference. Look like keeping the thermostat at 70 turned out to be 65 by the morning fighting all the windows and 75 during the day using all the windows ;). So we will guide everyone to raise 5 degrees at night and lower 5 during the day. Hope that helps anyone as we also have individual room heaters and AC in the Summer months (although only 2 - 4 weeks are used). We, of course, hope you visit again and highly recommend you as guests! Thanks again for taking such great care of our home!!
