You walk through the front door and know you’ve chosen well:
Beautifully restored in the English country-house style, eleven delightful rooms full of pretty fabrics and wallpapers, comfy four-poster beds, antiques, lace, and soft down comforters. This historic bed and breakfast inn, reminiscent of a small European country-house hotel, is located just around the corner from the shops and cafes of Main Street, Blowing Rock NC, a picturesque village on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Guests enjoy a full buffet breakfast each morning with selections such as shirred eggs and sausages, along with a fruit course and homemade breads and muffins - a different offering each day - served at pretty tables in the bright and airy breakfast room that opens onto a small courtyard garden. Traditional English tea and scones are served here in the afternoon.
Maple Lodge is only a short stroll to Broyhill Park, Cannon Gardens, and the Glen Burnie Falls trail, or a scenic drive to Grandfather Mountain and Linville Falls on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Guests enjoy hiking, horseback riding, golf on nearby mountain golf courses, whitewater rafting, canoeing and shopping nearby. You can also browse the many antique shops, artist's galleries and specialty shops in and around the charming village of Blowing Rock, home to the Mitford books by Jan Karon.
A wood-paneled drawing room with smart camelback sofas, game tables set for cards, and comfy wingchairs set before the stone fireplace in a snug library provide pleasant places to relax in the evening. Wicker chairs on the verandah overlook the front yard and gardens. Thoughtful, dedicated innkeepers give a warm welcome and offer early morning coffee and concierge services.
