Everything was perfect ! AllAs listed and host was always, supportive and helpful. Plenty of room to gather and plenty of room for privacy. Would book this location again.
We had a phenomenal stay at the Maple House in Taylors Falls, MN. The home was spacious and easily fit 2 couples, a family of 4, and a family of 3 - the property offered multiple spaces that allowed all of us to be together at the same time (kitchen/dining room, family room, spacious back patio/fire pit). Our host was gracious and kind! We would stay at this place again next year!
The abundance of clean, quality extra bedding was very impressive.Extra inflatable mattresses were much appreciated.Available free wood to burn was great, owner even brought over more wood. Quiet secluded neighborhood.Our kids really enjoyed the yard games that were available and the living room was very comfortable to watch sports at night. Kitchen easy to cook in , all necessary items for food prep were there. Host very responsive, you can tell the owners spend a lot of time taking care of the house. Thank you for a great stay
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.

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.
