Maplecroft Bed & Breakfast

We had originally planned to stay in Montpelier and when lodging options were limited, found the Maplecroft in nearby Barre — so happy we did! My adult son and I stayed in the Elia Corti Room which was nice for a bit of extra space. (Be sure to make time to wander the Hope Cemetery in Barre where Corti is buried with one of many markers that help tell the story of Barre’s history). The main bedroom was charming and the pullout sofa sleeper in the attached den was more than adequate. A window fan cooled the den for sleeping at night on a hot day, and the ceiling fan in the main bedroom was very comfortable even without turning on the window AC unit. The bathroom was small with toilet and shower but clean with very nice bath products. Both the den and attached bedroom each had their own sinks. The homemade baked goods and locally sourced (or homegrown) ingredients contributed to breakfasts that reflect the special touches Caryn brings to many aspects of your stay. Parking was available onsite and it was an easy drive to Montpelier. Would definitely stay at the Maplecroft again.

Exceptional old-world charm in this beautifully appointed inn. Clean and cozy with an owner who truly cares about her property and her guests. Breakfast was fabulous and the location makes a leisurely walk into town easy and a great way to spend the afternoon. Can't say enough about this gem. I will ALWAYS return here when I come to Barre...

This was our first time staying in a B&B and it was wonderful! Caryn, our host, was phenomenal. Her suggestions for restaurants were spot on as was her knowledge of the towns. We enjoyed French toast made with her homemade bread and locally sourced ingredients. We stayed in the tower room. The bed was comfy and the claw-foot tub was relaxing. The Inn is within walking distance of everything in the town. Our stay here made for a truly memorable trip.

Interesting experience to say the least. The owner was abrasive and expected us to know everything about the home. For example, the Keurig can not be heating at the same time the coffee pot is. Silly us for being 1 night guests and not knowing all the details and what irks the owner. Plus, it was great starting to the morning with the owner lecturing me for having a stomach ache and not wanting to eat breakfast. I understand food waste is annoying.. but I have a very sensitive stomach. Force feeding myself to appease the business and making me feel bad for it is just crazy. Next time, practice some restraint and remember this is not charity. We are paying customers. I left that property never wanting to stay at a B and B again.

Beautiful house, nice neighborhood, clean comfortable bed, great breakfast

Outstanding, but needs to arrange for snow removal We had a great time at the Maplecroft Bed and breakfast in Barre, Vermont. Our host was very accomodating and the room and breakfast were both outstanding. There was a big snowstorm while we were there, which required me to sweep off/shovel out my own car (to which I would never object). However, we then left for the day and I wonder what might have happened if we had returned and found someone else in the parking spot we had shoveled out, requiring us to do it all over again. No other guest did this job, as they were likely leaving and not returning (it was Sunday, but we were staying another night and leaving Monday). I would recommend that Maplercroft should arrange to have spaces cleared on such days, as guests (some of whom might be elderly or disabled) should not have to shovel out their own parking spaces (although they should sweep off their own cars). A wal-behind snowblowere or a pickup with a plow would do the job fine. I repeat, however, that we had a great time, we were hosted very well and that this establishment is first rate.
