We spent four fabulous days in this extraordinary cottage and wished we could stay the whole summer, rain or shine. The inside is vast yet cosy and charming and there are big screened in porches for dining and chilling out and playing board games. The kitchen is very well equipped. Outside, the swimming off the dock is fantastic and we enjoyed kayaking around and exploring the hidden corners of lake Vernon - especially the little channel on the north east shore at sunrise. The sandy area was perfect for beach volleyball or badminton - good sports for a mini family tournament and equipment was supplied in good condition. We also loved the several terraces on the path down from the cottage to the lake, each catching the sun at different moments during the day. The cottage is also surprisingly easily accessible by road while being quite secluded from neighbours. It would be ideal for a family reunion (but persons with mobility problems might struggle with the long stairs to the lake).

We loved our stay at this classic cottage. The hosts responded very quickly to our messages and were very helpful. We would definitely stay at the Maplewood cottage again.
