About this property

Great Fishing Steps from Your Door- Maples Cabin

Welcome to Maples Cabin – Your Cozy Hideaway in the Pines!

Say hello to Maples Cabin, a warm and welcoming 2-bedroom retreat tucked right into the heart of nature. With room for up to 7 guests, this charming spot is perfect for family fun, friend-cations, or anyone in need of a little lakeside magic and mountain air.

Let’s Get Cookin’
Inside, you’ll find a full kitchen and dining area just waiting for pancake breakfasts or late-night snacks. Want to take the party outside? Fire up the charcoal grill and show off those BBQ skills!

Kick Back & Relax
The living room is calling with a cozy wood-burning fireplace, 50” Smart TV, free WiFi, and all the cabin comfort you could ask for. Whether you’re binge-watching your favorites or just toasting your toes by the fire, this is the place to unwind.

Sleepytime Setup:

Bedroom 1: Stretch out in a king bed with its own attached half bath

Bedroom 2: Two comfy double beds for dream-filled nights

Living Room: Sofa bed for extra guests and fireplace snuggles

Bathroom 2: A ¾ bath off the living room with a stand-up shower

Lakeside Fun & Mountain Adventures
Just steps away is Rainbow Lake, stocked with fish and ready for action. Cast a line for Blue Gill, Catfish, Northern Pike, or Largemouth Bass—or rent a rowboat (April 1–Oct 31) and enjoy a day on the water.

When the sun sets, gather 'round one of three fire pits for s’mores and stories or head to the horseshoe pit to settle that friendly rivalry. Feeling adventurous? Hit up Sunrise Ski Resort in winter or explore the nearby hiking trails year-round.

Maples Cabin is the perfect combo of rustic charm, modern comfort, and all-around good vibes. Come stay, play, and make some unforgettable memories at Lazy Oaks Resort!

Before You Book… Just a Few Things to Know About Lazy Oaks Resort-

We like to keep it real around here, so we’ve put together a few friendly disclaimers to help set expectations. Lazy Oaks Resort is a special place — rustic, beautiful, and full of character — but it’s not for everyone.

Yes, it’s beautiful here. Yes, it’s peaceful. But let’s be honest — when you stay this close to the lake and woods, you're signing up for a front-row seat to the wild side of the White Mountains. That includes bugs (despite our constant spraying), bats (they eat the bugs, so technically they’re staff), mice (adorable freeloaders), geese (loud and entitled), badgers (surprisingly bold), and yes... occasionally, bears (they were here first).

Now, don’t panic — actual wildlife encounters are rare. Most critters keep to themselves, especially if you don’t leave snacks out like it’s a buffet for the forest. But still — if the idea of a spider ruins your weekend, this might not be your dream getaway.

Pet owners, listen up: we love animals — yours, ours, and the wild ones that roam the area. But please keep your furry friends leashed and in your sight at all times. This is real nature, not a fenced-in dog park. Wildlife doesn't care how sweet your pup is, and we'd like to avoid any awkward encounters that end in vet visits or dramatic stories.

About the internet...
Yes, we have Wi-Fi, and yes, it usually works pretty well — we’re talking about 90%-95% success, which earns a gold star up here in the mountains. But it’s not perfect. Our Smart TVs run on that same connection, so they may occasionally get “dumber” than advertised.

More importantly — you didn’t come all this way to watch reruns of your favorite show. You came for fresh air, starry skies, and that glorious lake just outside your door. We’ve got free kayaks, pedal boats, fishing, hiking trails, and enough sunshine to completely reset your mood. So shut the laptop, drop the remote, and go make a real memory — the kind that doesn’t need Wi-Fi.

A few more things to know…
Lazy Oaks is home to 18 rustic cabins tucked into about 4 acres of private lakefront property. Yes, you’ll have neighbors. Yes, you’ll share grills and boats. And yes — that’s part of the charm. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself around a campfire, swapping stories, sharing snacks, and making new friends with people you never expected to meet. It’s a social kind of place — in the best way possible.

And those cabins?
Many date back to the 1930s–1950s. They’re clean, cozy, and full of charm you just can’t fake — the kind that creaks a little and tells stories in its sleep. We’re gently updating them over time, keeping the best of the old while making space for the comforts of the new. If you appreciate character with your comfort, you’re going to love it here.

If you're looking for ultra-modern, sterile, and silent... well, we hear Scottsdale’s nice. But if you’re ready for a lakeside escape with soul — we’ve got a cabin waiting for you.

The bottom line?
100% of guests who arrive with the right expectations have a wonderful time — and hundreds return year after year. Lazy Oaks isn’t just a place to stay. It’s a place to slow down, reconnect, and soak in something real. We just want you to know what we’re all about — and if that sounds like your kind of getaway, we can’t wait to host you.

Just a heads-up:
We do ask all guests to sign a short rental agreement before arrival. We didn’t want to go all “legal,” but our lawyers insisted — especially since we’re right on the lake, welcome pets, and offer free use of boats. Thanks for understanding!

The cabin was cute but in need of updating. Being on the lake was nice but the grounds could use some sprucing up.

Everything was great. Other guests were super friendly and kind. All the dogs made me feel safer then any hotel I've ever stayed in. Kids had a blast. Only complaint was about the actual lake seemed to only have catfish in it.

I highly recommend this place. There are many cabins to chose from and it’s pet friendly. It’s a perfect place to relax. You can on a boat ride and do some fishing.
