Our multigenerational plus dog family enjoyed a beautiful week at Silver Maple Farmhouse. We really valued the amazing amentities - kayak, canoe, fire pit & wood, outdoor deck seating, badminton, and the dock overall. Its an easy few steps from grass to dock / rock steps, to water and a lovely sandy bottom; and all so private. The house itself is as beautiful as the pictures suggest, and all the beds and mattress' are so comfortable! Kitchen was a joy to cook in and had all we needed in terms of pots / pans / plates etc. Hot tub was clean & lastly, the night time outdoor fairy lights are magic. We saw deer! We quickly ran out of dishwasher tabs and garbage bags but the owner / property manager were quick to provide when we reached out. Great communicaiton overall. A few suggestions for your visit to make it even more enjoyable: - bring a wagon to bring down items from house to dock. - bring extra outdoor towels (no laundry) - bring portable umbrella for dock (no natural shade) - bring tin foil / saran wrap (kitchen has utentsils etc, but didn't have these items) - pack your fridge condiments i.e. ketchup etc so you don't need to buy new full size (none in fridge) Our main suggestion for future upgrades to the property, which would take it to a 5 star, would be to have a place that garbage & recycling can be stored outside of the house in-between trips to the dump. Keeping it in the house was unpleasant, and keeping it the car in the heat was even worse.
We saw deer in the field (closer than they look) while sitting on deck.
