Maple Hill Farm Inn & Conference Center

Upon arrival we were greeted by one of the Innkeepers. He was gracious and showed us around and explained the history of the Inn as well. Our room was impeccable and we enjoyed the space. The Inn had only 1 more couple staying there it was very peaceful. The only 2 minor issues we had was the following: Walking down to the sauna hot tub area which btw is outstanding I got a splinter in my finger holding the wooden railing. We could not get the splinter out and headed to the store for needles and tweezers. It would not come out until the following morning which put a huge damper on our evening. Breakfast was excellent except the homemade jam had mold in it which was promptly replaced with a new jar. Also the muffins are from a box and tasted terrible. The living room area was nice however the big lazy chair had rips in it and hence it looked very worn. Nevertheless we wanted to come back New Years Eve but its booked solid. Those are just minor issues and we will def go back for another stay. Its a beautiful peaceful inviting place that managed to take us away from the stress of everyday life.

scott & vincent have a wonderful inn well worth staying there, and enjoying the pleasant atmosphere and hospitality. i endorse the inn without reservation. i wish you guys continued success.

Exceptional stay — welcoming, immaculate, comfortable and luxurious. Breakfast was amazing!

Scott and Vince are genuine masters of innkeeping! There simply were no flaws in our stay. Everything was outstanding, from the décor, to the amenities to the amazing breakfasts! There were so many thoughtful personal touches. A place to come to soak it all in while replenishing the soul. Whether tour stay is for business or personal reasons, this place will bring out the best in you.
Scott and Vince, thank you for an amazing stay!

I have stayed in the major hotels on my trips to Augusta Maine, and I will never stay anywhere other than Maple Hill Farm Bed and Breakfast Inn from this point forward. Scott and Vince were great hosts, the atmosphere was wonderful, and breakfast was fantastic. The room was well appointed with locally made soap, and a very relaxing, huge Jacuzzi tub.
I will definitelybe back!

This B&B surpassed all of my expectations for a truly wonderful stay! Scott and Vince are welcoming and friendly, and had great recommendations for dining in the area. The farm itself is absolutely beautiful and has a wonderful sense of quiet and calm… you truly feel that you are on a retreat and removed from the busyness of everyday life. And, some adorable llamas and a hot tub/​sauna don’t hurt either. :) The breakfast was fantastic — you get to select from a full menu or can grab delicious muffins and fruit to go if you prefer. Overall, this was just an incredibly relaxing trip that made us want to come back again!

We stayed last year on Valentine’s Day. Although it was cold outside, the sauna, hot tub and jet heated pool helped us stay warm and comfortable on a frigid February night. Considering all the amenities, they’re quite affordable. Breakfast the next morning was delicious and a real treat, much more than your standard continental. Clean and cozy, we’ll definitely be back. And we live in the next town over!

Great spot — beautiful setting, comfortable accommodations, great food, and attentive inn-​keepers. Definitely worth a stay when in the Augusta area!

Very nice place. Excellent value for the money. Friendly, relaxing atmosphere. Sauna, hot tub and a bar, plus a cook to order breakfast. We will be going back.

Maple Hill Farm B&B is amazing! The owners, Scott and Vince, go out of their way to make your stay the most comfortable possible. Located in Hallowell, ME, just next door to Augusta, the capital, Maple Hill is beautiful, peaceful and fun. The animals are out of the barn all day and some will come up and meet you. The made-​to-​order breakfast is as good as any great restaurant but feels like eating at home. There isn’t a thing that Scott and Vince haven’t thought of for their guests. We enjoyed it so much that we made a reservation to stay there one more night on our return drive through Maine. It is that awesome! We look forward to making a return visit to Maple Hill Farm!

Gorgeous B&B lovingly restored on extensive farmlands — the breakfast is multi-​course and expertly prepared. The owners have adopted green practices and use solar panels and a windmill. It was quiet yet close to some lovely small towns, as well as minutes from Augusta, Maine. We are planning to return next year for a longer stay.

Scott and Vince are amazing hosts that made our stay incredible ! Can’t recommend this place enough ! Brian the head Chef puts together an awesome breakfast that will leave you stuffed ! We will be making another trip to visit !

The staff was very helpful. This was a perfect way station for a long road trip. Hallowell is a wonderful small town and easy to get to from the inn. Breakfast was really good. We bought a painting by a local artist that was on display in the dinning room. Went for a couple of long walks in the countryside. The food and the beer at the Liberal Cup restaurant was delicious.

We’ve stayed here several times now when visiting my family in the area for Thanksgiving and xmas, and it’s always been great. The larger rooms with fireplaces are very nice — unfortunately on this last trip I waited too long and ended up in one of the smaller rooms. It was still a great experience and good to see more of the house.

I was a bit apprehensive as I exited the Maine Turnpike and drove parallel to it. The sign said 1.5 miles yet I am still next to a major road. Amazingly by the time I arrived, it seemed as if civilization was far away, just as I had hoped. The hosts were expecting me. Check in was brief. The amenities were quickly explained. The room was huge for a bed and breakfast. There was a lovely deck outside. An outdoor steam room was available should you not want to sweat on the hiking trails that were on property. I loved the coffee and fresh baked goods available 24 hrs a day. The comfortable bed and calming energy that permeated the place, allowed for restful sleep. I had not trouble waking up for a very good and very thorough home cooked breakfast. The hosts were always available should you need directions or had a question or need. Restaurants galore were available in Augusta, Hallowell or Gardner. I went to Maple Hill to be close to Augusta Country Club where I caddied for my son at the Maine Open. I left longing to return to live life the way it was meant to be. Highly recommended.

I just had my wedding there and that included a three night stay. The room was absolutely beautiful, comfortable, and clean! I really didn’t want to leave. The rest of the rooms were filled that weekend with my wedding guests and I have heard nothing but great things from them as well. Several of our friends said the the breakfast was the best they’d ever had!

Our wedding party stayed at the Maple Hill Inn, because the bride was having her reception at their space. There were some good attributes and some bumps in the road, which I have explained.
Service: Check-​In was brief and we were shown to our room. There were several bugs circling the main lighting fixture (more on this later) but the room was spacious and comfortable. I would describe it as quaint and cozy.
Property: Beautiful rural property, with llamas and turkeys nearby. Lots of parking, and easy to find.
Amenities: In-​room whirlpool and outside hot-​tub. The outside hot-​tub was well maintained and comfortably seated 6 adults. The sauna was very comfortable as well. The TV only broadcast local stations, no cable. In-​room DVD player with DVDs free to borrow downstairs. Snug and cozy gas fireplace in our room as well.
Problems: Ourselves and two other couples stayed in 3 ajoining rooms. We later learned that each room (and each couple) had a unique bug problem (ladybugs, grasshoppers and flies). When we were shown our room, the proprietor did not seem to notice the multiple flies and lady bugs circling the main lighting fixture inside the bedroom. That made me curious about the cleaning staff, but it had been a long day of and we decided to get some rest and hope that housekeeping would eliminate the bugs when they checked our room the next day. I do not believe that housekeeping attended to our rooms because at 2pm the next day, and after after eliminating 5 insects myself, I brought my concerns (very politely) to the attention of the proprietor. Hearing the bugs and swatting at them made it hard to enjoy our beautiful room. The owner said that he would fix the problem. Six hours later, when I dropped a few wedding related items in the room, the bugs were still circling our light. I understand that it was a busy day on the property, however, when I asked again about when the situation would be resolved, he responded rather shortly «at some time before midnight.» To his credit, the bugs were removed from our room before 11:00pm, however I did not appreciate being made to feel like my concern was such an inconvenience.
Also, the wedding reception ended at 10pm. Our wedding party had rented out the entire hotel, and there were no other guests in the inn. We asked if several members of the wedding party could stay and socialize in one of the hotel rooms after the reception ended, because the Inn was booked and they were staying at another hotel 15+ minutes away. The staff quickly told us that unregistered guests could not stay at the Inn after the reception, even if a registered guest invited them to visit their suite after the reception. When another member of the wedding party asked why, we were told that this was not in the contract and the tone from the proprietor was quickly becoming very negative. While I understand these concerns, most hotels and inns permit registered guests to bring unregistered guests into their rooms during their stay, so long as the unregistered guest does not stay overnight. Our group made it very clear that no one would be staying overnight, that we were basically going to talk, eat more wedding cake and socialize (not out-​of-​control partying by any means), but this was not permitted and explained in an impolite and kinda harsh tone.
Price: we paid $ 371 (tax included) for a 2-​night, Friday-​Saturday stay. I travel very often for work and have never encountered a bug problem like this, and it was a real damper for enjoying this beautiful place.

Nice and cozy B&B with great service and reasonable food.
The in-​room whirlpool was amazing! It was the biggest and most powerful I have ever seen. The velvety bath robes added a nice touch to the large, nicely decorated, (gas) fire-​place heated rooms. The king bed had a nice firm mattress and was covered with a beautiful heavy quilt. The Inn has a wind turbine and solar panels, clean with eco-​friendly detergents, and generally try to be as environmentally friendly as possible, which is nice – for what it’s worth. The house bubbly wine is a nice addition for a relaxing bath, but stay clear of the chocolate truffles (they don’t qualify for that name).
The farm animals are a fun experience, especially for children. Don’t miss out on playing with the goat who thinks he’s a dog. But you must take into account that no pets are allowed because the farm animals don’t like guests’ animals.
The breakfast is reasonable, but may be the farms weakest point. You get to choose your breakfast from a menu, and it is cooked to order by the innkeepers. However, I have definitely had better breakfast experiences at high-​end B&B, such as I would determine Maple Hill to be based on the higher then average prices (even off season). The curtsy assortment of baked goods with tea and coffee were a nice gesture but seemed like a hit or miss: one day they were stale, while the next – average. As for restaurants in the area, if you are from a large urban area and accustomed to good food, I would skip the interesting-​ish places the innkeepers recommend and head to «Slates.» Don’t bother with any of the others…
Over all, staying at Maple Hill was a great experience. The bubble-​baths, fire place, velvet bath robes and comfortable beds make it worth the somewhat high price, and balance the disappointing culinary aspects.

What a wonderful place to stay. Attended a wedding there this past weekend and found the place to be beyond my expectations. Scott and Vince were very accomodating and we had the best breakfast with many choices. Dessert all day and night long with coffee as well. Got a tour of the barn and walked the trail to the quarry. What an Eco education. Solar and wind energy to the max.

A really special place, run by a couple of special guys (Scott and Vince). Lots of personal touches to add to your experience. Grab a hand-​drawn map and hike on the power line cut to find trails leading to a nearby pond. Check out the windmill. Grab a snack in the kitchen. Enjoy the scrapbooks and library in the living room area. Smile to your companion when you see your names in so-​nice script in a card on your room’s door. Take a drive into the country, or take the short drive to downtown Hallowell, which has a surprisingly nice set of shops and restaurants. We had a great time at the Liberal Cup, but other places looked good, too…
Come in the fall on an apple-​picking and/​or leaf-​peeping weekend. It’s close enough to the coast to bop over to Damariscotta or Wiscasset, too.
