REVIEWS | | Justin |  |
| We had an amazing stay at the Silver Maple Farmhouse! The bedroom and bathroom were beautifully decorated and felt luxurious. Each room had its own unique charm, making it a perfect place for guests of all ages to relax comfortably.
The kitchen and dining area were spacious and fully equipped — far more than we needed! Just remember to bring your own food, drinks, and toothpaste.
Daily essentials were well-prepared, and we really appreciated the little touches like board games, beach towels, and cozy blankets for family time.
Surrounded by the gorgeous autumn scenery, we enjoyed every moment — from canoeing, kayaking, and paddle boating to relaxing in the jacuzzi and sitting by the campfire. My favorite memory might be sipping coffee while looking out over the peaceful lake. Truly unforgettable.
The only “problem” There was no pencil! I wanted to leave a note in the guestbook but couldn't. Next time, I'll be sure to bring one — because I'm definitely coming back! ?

| We really enjoyed our stay. It's more of a beautiful home than a cottage. The kitchen is well thought out and stocked. The lake is quiet and most importantly has a nice sandy entrance to walk into the water. From an accessibility perspective it worked well for our 87 year old mother to move about with her walker. Lots of room in the primary suite bathroom. Everything she needed was accessible on the main floor and deck. Thanks again for a great time!

| Our group enjoyed our stay at the silver Maple farmhouse. The house was very spacious inside and the finishes/decor are stunning. The large deck overlooking the back yard was our favorite space to hang out. The dock is nestled in a nice quiet bay of the lake and doesnt get much traffic. Water is very clear and the fishing was great as well! Thank you for having us!

| Wow! That is how we will describe our stay. Each and every member in our group had a similar experience. The cottage was nothing short of a 5-star hotel - clean and had everything we wanted. The access to the water/ lake and then the well set-up fire pit ensured we could have a wonderful time all through the day and into the night. And the fact that the hosts Steve & Sam were extremely responsive, made the stay one of our best cottage trips till date.
Every single member in our group - kids, adults and seniors came back all relaxed and refreshed. We would definitely go back. Thanks Steve & Sam.
