Maple Cove Bed and Breakfast and The August House is a secluded Michigan retreat set on Leonard’s 14 acres of tamed and untamed land. This luxurious and low-key boutique inn was designed to give travelers the option of enjoying their vacation without leaving the sanctuary of the property. Guests can hang out by the sparkling pool or travel a short distance to enjoy hiking, biking, water sports, fine dining, and shopping in the nearby quaint towns.
While staying at this Michigan Bed and Breakfast, guests enjoy amazing homemade breakfasts and culinary treats. Both innkeepers are foodies and have mastered the true meaning of farm-to-table by gathering fresh eggs from their own hen house and using fresh herbs from their garden each morning. Jan is the master baker, with cinnamon buns being a specialty, and the couple always teases that you come for the hospitality and comfortable rooms and return for the “bacon.”
A romantic getaway to this tranquil adults-only property includes plenty of pampering and luxurious amenities. Relax in the plush Maple Cove robes and experience their Maple Cove “Dreams” locally-made soap with a bespoke scent. Enjoy a game of billiards, relax by the pool, or rock on their beautiful veranda surrounded by perennial flowers and country views.
The inn is filled with history, built in 1880 as the summer home for the Fruehauf family. The 1880 Greek Revival farmhouse has been rebuilt to include three luxurious and comfortable suites– all creatively named. The Casablanca suite is on the first floor and boasts a private sitting room and table if you prefer a private breakfast. The suite also includes a private entrance with easy access to the beautiful veranda and a romantic bath, including a two-person tub and separate shower. The Hepburn Suite, named after their favorite actresses, has beautiful south-facing views on the second floor. The spacious main bedroom leads into a sun-filled sitting room. The Hemingway Suite is aptly named as the sitting room will beckon you to curl up with a good book. This spacious private suite is perfect for relaxing and reconnecting with your loved one. Be pampered in the suite’s bath with the original corner tub and shower that has been lovingly restored.
Maple Cove Boutique Bed and Breakfast is centrally located in southeast Michigan, under a fifteen-minute drive to Lake Orion, Oxford, Romeo, and Rochester. Each town has its ambiance, with plenty of fine dining, breweries, shopping, and historical attractions, including the historic Dodge Mansion Tour and Addison Oak Country Park. The inn is surrounded by ten apple orchards, making the cider-mill season a perfect time to visit.
Maple Cove Bed and Breakfast is on a wooded lane near Lakeville Lake and the Pollyanna trail, as well as Oxford, Romeo, Rochester, and Lake Orion. We sit on 14 acres of tamed and untamed land, should you like to take a stroll.
