Winter scene in front of of the remodeled MapleHus cabin/home. Available to rent year round! Big Dipper surrounded by frosty snow flocked trees, December 31st, 2025. Multi colored lights to the sauna!
We recently added another wood fired sauna to Maplelag. A simplistic but modern design, the sauna features a wood fired stove to heat the main room and lighting/ventilation generated by solar.
Every day is a great day to sauna and combined with a dip in the nearby Little Sugarbush lake, a rejuvenating and relaxing experiencing any time of the day and year!
It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of Jim Richards, whom was a co-founder of Maplelag. Jim was surrounded by family and friends as he took his last breath on earth, after suffering a stroke four weeks ago.
Jim had exceptional vision to create a magical place in the forest, along the shores of Little Sugarbush, a retreat that has been enjoyed by 100’s of thousands of people from skiing, biking, weddings, retreats and language learning. His work ethic and adventurous spirit will continue to be present as Maplelag moves forward in this next chapter. A special tree grove memorial will be constructed this fall. There was a private celebration of life at Maplelag in August. Obituary posted here.
