If there’s one True North Escapades property built entirely around the art of slowing down, it’s the Maple Lake Hideaway. Nestled on the shore of Maple Lake in Longville, MN, this spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom lakefront home sleeps up to 13 guests — making it the ideal retreat for extended families, reunions, or friend groups who want the full Minnesota lake experience without compromising on comfort. Step outside and you have it all: a private sandy beach, a dock, a kayak, stand-up paddleboard, paddle boat, life jackets, fishing poles, and more lake toys than you’ll have time to use. When the sun goes down, gather around the firepit for s’mores and star-gazing — no light pollution out here, just the real thing. Inside, the home is just as well-suited to togetherness: a massive dining table that seats 10, two gas fireplaces, multiple decks, a fully equipped kitchen, and blazing-fast Starlink WiFi. Pontoon rentals are available nearby at Musky House Marine, just a couple miles away. This is the kind of place where kids build memories they’ll talk about for decades — and adults actually decompress. Best time to visit: Memorial Day through Labor Day for peak lake season; fall for foliage and quiet.
