MAPLEGROVE LODGING

Nestled behind towering spruces and shaded by century-old maple and walnut trees, is a friendly hideaway where guests can enjoy a day, a weekend, or even a week or more of leisure and getaway time.

A Homelike Atmosphere Maplegrove's hosts prepare generous full breakfasts and offer the enjoyment of their peaceful, rural surroundings. Flower and vegetable gardens supply the kitchen and guestrooms with nature's gifts of color and taste. Trails cut through the old apple orchard to Pond One Hundred and give the hiker opportunity to look for deer and wild turkeys that are abundant on the property.
