Our whole family had a wonderful three night stay at this beautiful property! The house was very clean which is so important to us. Adults and kids alike found plenty of things to do, including relaxing while enjoying the lovely views from the comfortable chairs on the deck and by the lake/fire pit. We hope we are able to return one day soon and do it all over again!

Great lake house for bigger family!

Our family had a fantastic time at this home. Maple Lake was great for fishing, swimming and paddleboarding. We felt safe in this neighborhood and had plenty to do to keep everyone entertained and relaxed. There was a little delay in the communication using Vrbo messaging, but no urgent requests were needed on our end. We would definitely return back to this location!

We had a great time and the family too.

It was a nice stay, but there is somethings that i need to say. The AC does work but the AC make a very loud noise when it turn on and to the end the hot water smell terrible. .

Best of both worlds

This property on Maple Lake is a destination for all. If you live in the metro it is obviously close and yet you feel like you are way up North. The fishing on the lake is better than expected. The beach and up keep of property was superb. We had a couple glitches that were handled promptly. Overall a great experience.

July vacation

We loved our vacation. The house was perfect. The lake was gorgeous. We fished from the dock we brought our own boat. The amenities of the house were complete the teens enjoyed movie night while we played cards on the deck. We caught over 100 fish in our time at the house. The lake was like glass we were able to water ski and tube every single day. The weather was perfect. The proximity to the Twin Cities made the vacation complete. This is a very nice set up for anyone who is flying in to have a nice lake vacation.

Fabulous time at Maple Lake Chalet!

Thank you for opening up your beautiful home to our family. We had such a fabulous stay at Maple Lake Chalet! There were ten of us (ages 4-80+) enjoying a long weekend get-away and we could not be more pleased with the location, accommodations, weather, proximity to town and more! The home is beautiful (pictures don't do it justice) and there was so much attention to detail within the home and around the property. The kids spent the entire weekend fishing off the dock--which they loved. We even got to enjoy a beautiful bonfire with s'mores and a few amazing sunsets. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, flatware and cookware. We also loved the basement with the comfy couch and large TV---perfect for a family movie night. We took full advantage of the space and all the things Maple Lake Chalet had to offer. Absolutely perfect!
