About this property

NEW! Countryside Retreat Home with Space for Entertaining, Weddings and More!

Our property is a barn house (shouse) located on just over 3.5 acres. The living quarters is over 2200 square feet and can sleep up to 22 guests. You can walk directly out to the fully heated/cooled barn that provides just under 6000 square feet of entertaining space. A 150" projector screen allows you to entertain your guests with the big game or have a movie night with the kids. Also in the barn is a bar with a beverage fridge and bar sink. From the barn you can walk out to the 1800 square foot covered patio and look out at the 3/4 acre stocked pond. The pond has a nice beach area to enjoy while everyone is swimming. If you are not a swimmer, feel free to bring your fishing poles and cast a line. If you are looking for a good workout, hop in the two pedal boats and cruise around the pond. The patio has plenty of seating and has two propane fire tables.

When the weather is nice outside we have a portable basketball Hoop for the paved parking lot, two portable soccer goals, wiffle ball, kick ball and footballs to enjoy. We have two cornhole boards and more outdoor games. If the weather is not so nice, you have the 6000 square foot barn to play most games inside!

The property gives you so much to do while you are here. Located just outside of town provides the country scene while close to local amenities. We look forward to your stay!

Nearby Things to do:

3 Beautiful Golf Courses located as close as 5 Minutes to 20 minutes away.
10 Minutes from Ft. Loramie State Park
15 Minutes away from Grand Lake St. Marys & State Park
Only 30 minutes away from Eldora Speedway!

Our party absolutely loved everything about Maple Lane Retreat!
We hosted our son's graduation party at Maple Lane Retreat and it was a hit with all ages! The pond was clean and beautiful. The outdoor seating area was perfect and provided so much additional seating and we enjoyed the scenery. So easy to decorate since magnets are provided. The projector screen was a perfect addition to the party and we were able to show photos the whole time. The outlets and connections were great for the singer that came with his own equipment.The living area is very tasteful and accommodating for a large group. Really like that there's a door between the living area and bedrooms that can be locked. Best part was that we didn't need to bring a single thing! Bedding, kitchen items, yard games, ladders, grill anything you can think of. The owner was extremely helpful and quick with replies. We couldn't have asked for anything better

A wonderful weekend stay.
The property was exactly as listed. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was very large and well stocked. The outside porch with gas fire pits were wonderful. In addition, there was a wood burning fire pit, and a pond that the kids and adults could fish in. A huge bonus is the barn. It was a great place to play cards. Also, the kids enjoyed all of the games that were provided. I would definitely stay here again!

Uncertainty about service dogs
The facility was beautiful with great amenities. The attached party room was ideal for us. One of our guests had a service dog and the owner was uncertain about VRBO policy, considering it as a pet. The owner engaged in discussion with us and genuinely wanted to gain more understanding of policy and ADA guidelines.

Perfect Family Retreat
This was a wonderful time away for our family. The kitchen and gathering area were wonderful. The beds were very comfortable and the event barn and games were a really big hit! Everything about this rental was a testament to generous owners who clearly were on a mission to create a beautiful and thoughtful experience for families and groups. My entire family, toddlers up to grandparents, want to come back sometime soon! The hosts were kind and very good at communicating, which is always a plus! Just a lovely time with loved ones!!!!

Absolutely perfect!!! We loved every second of our stay!
Maple Lane is absolutely a 10/10 stay! We just had our wedding there on 10/28 and stayed for the whole weekend and EVERYONE could not stop talking about how amazing and beautiful it was, even our caterers and photographers! The house was beautiful and so spacious! Our whole wedding party and out of state family members stayed! The event area, AMAZING, very easily fit our 100 people in just the main space with plenty of room left! Alex was so kind and helpful through the whole process and made everything so easy! I seriously can’t say enough about Maple Lane, it was beautiful, perfect, fun, and all the other wonderful things! Thank you again for making our wedding so wonderful!

70th birthday party
Surprised my mother with a 70s theme birthday party for her 70th. It was the perfect spot and plenty of room for all 20 guest! The barn was perfect and spacious!! It was a chilly night so the fire pits made it nice for guest to stay warm while still enjoying the outdoors. The house itself was very clean, and the decor was nice. Bedrooms were cozy! Highly recommend this spot!

The Gathering Place
Clean and well equipped for inside and outside enjoyment. The setup is impeccable and they thought of everything for a large crowd. Beds and pillows were super comfortable for a great nights sleep. You feel like home here. Unfortunately, our stay was for a funeral. We stayed 4 nights and had all ages there. This place allowed for us to make it a celebration of life and was one of the best reunions of all of us getting together. I had the opportunity to meet the owner and he is as great as the accommodations. I highly recommend this place. There are many activities for your fun pleasure… basketball, baseball, corn hole, and paddle boating. The large screen projector was a huge hit also. We had a blow up mattress that the kids laid on and watched. I think it felt more like a drive in theatre that just watching a tv. Thank you for making this the best trip it could possibly have been. When we need to do this again, I hope to book with you. The Nagy Family

Fantastic Experience
If you're looking for a place close to a town but tucked away, this is the property for you. This place is super clean, and the outside area is very relaxing, especially with the fire pit and fountain in the pond. With all the games the host provides it's hard to not be playing games every day. I can definitely see myself renting this property again in the future. 10/10
