Quality Time Together! Log Cabin Sleeps 28 Kids Love It!

We stayed at Maple Fork Lodge June 20-27, 2026 to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. There were 23 of us. The atmosphere in the lodge is wonderful conveying traditional values of God and country! The local caretakers responded to our requests. One thing that was not clear was the provision of disposable products. If products (garbage bags, toilet paper, etc.) are only provided initially, that needs to be made clear. With 23 of us 19 of which were adults and teens, there were insufficient quantities of these items. The caretaker did provide replenishment of TP once, but we were reluctant to contact again. We just bought what was needed. Also, there probably needs to be additional garbage bins. They were nearly full when we arrived. They were overflowing when we left. Also, the garbage bin on the deck needs to be replaced. It obviously had been damaged by critters in the past. On our final morning, something got into it and scattered garbage on the ground searching for tasty morsels.But our family had a wonderful time fishing, kayaking on the pond (we brought our own kayaks), enjoying meals together (the second refrigerator is wonderful), and resting peacefully. The little ones enjoyed the play area. (The wasp nest needs to be removed.)Thank you to the owners for hosting us!

Lots of space for gathering. Very convenient location. Wish there was more info on the property, area. Would have loved more walking trails.

Awesome cabin!

The house and property were well cared for. The amenities they promised were there - in our case, baby hates and booster seats. There was an indoor dining table that would accommodate ten people and several outdoor areas with rocking chairs, a swing, comfortable lounge chairs, a round table with four chairs, and a fire pit. There was a grill adjacent to the kitchen that would cook hamburgers and hotdogs, but there was no large outdoor table. The peacefulness of the woods and fields provided the rest and relaxation we desired. Several of us took advantage of the dock at the one pond and hiked the trails. The goats were of constant interest, escaping from their fenced-in area one day, to the delight of everyone. The primary complaint had to do with the air conditioning. The unit was not set up to accommodate so many different areas. The master bedroom/bath and the study, first floor bathroom were too cold, and when the thermostats were adjusted to suit those on the first floor, the bedrooms and bath upstairs were too warm. The caretaker was pleasant and cooperative, calling the owners and a repairman, but the problem was not remedied during our stay. There’s one other point that the advertising for the house might mention: there are elk, moose, and deer heads mounted on the walls, as well as a fox skin. The biggest surprise for us was the full sized black bear stuffed and standing in one corner. We were anxious about the reaction to the bear of the toddler who was with us, but the small dog was the first to object. He was ready to take on the “intruder.” We ended up carefully placing a coverlet over the bear so that the little dog could get some rest.
