Well equipped little spot with everything you could possibly want! Everything was so neat and tidy, and the place was very cutely decorated. We stayed in cabin #6 and in my eyes that's the best cabin as it's set back a bit furth than the rest, but I'm sure they are all lovely. I only wish we could have stayed longer.

We only spent one night in the cabin as a stopover on the Cabot Trail and actually only slept there as we had to leave early in the morning . The cabin was extremely clean, well maintained and well equipped. Everything worked perfectly. We had a power cut for about 3-4 hours at night, so we woke up when the air conditioning came back on. Of course, this can always happen, but if you are dependent on electrical appliances, you should take precautions yourself. Highly recommended! Geetings from Gemany!

We stayed at the Maple Ridge Cabins while on vacation in July 2025. We were in Cabin #1 which is probably the least private cabin of the group but still great. The only other people we saw were from the neighboring cabin #2. There was a small playground for the kids. The hammock next to our cabin was trash though. Strung a little too tight which made it very unstable which was a little disappointing since a love a good hammock nap. There was a firepit but a fire ban was announced the day we arrived so we didn't get to enjoy that and the kids had to roast marshmallows over the BBQ to make smores. The location is great as it didn't take long to get to a lot of the areas we wanted to explore. I really appreciated the flags on the roadside sign as my nav was convinced the cabins were about 500m down the road and the flags made it really easy the spot as the driveway can sneak up on you pretty easily. It would have been nice if the cabin included skewers for the firepit. The kitchen was fairly well equipped but we would have appreciated a strainer for pasta and a frying pan.

Stayed in cabin 3, and it's so cute! Incredibly clean, adorable. The views are stunning. We showed up around 4pm and stayed outside until almost dark just because it's such a nice view and nice little proprty to explore. There's a little stream right next to us. Even though there are other cabins close, they're all situated in a way that you have privacy and a your own outdoor space. I didn't want to leave, can I work here? Lol. It's so peaceful and beautiful and I'm dreading going back to the city. I will definitely book more than 1 night next time. Thank you for being pet friendly. My dog had the time of her life playing in the yard

George literally saved us. We cough some bad weather on our bikes and we’re desperately searching a place to shelter from the cold rainy night. These cabins are incredibly clean, well equipped, and so comfortable. The site was quiet with the views of the mountains around. We had the best rest. Thanks again George for the help!
