"A Splendid Meal!"
5 of 5 starsReviewed 4 days ago NEW
Had dinner with friends on Saturday night...It was our first visit!
Two of us ordered the pork loin with savory sausage and cheese bread pudding...WOW!!! Perfect use of herbs and spices! The pork was fantastic!
My husband ordered the duck breast...I think he actually licked his plate!
The atmosphere was just lovely and we had good, friendly service! We will be back again!
So happy to see this magnificent property being used once again! A+

Oh! And the dessert!!! Delicious!

"Just perfect!"
5 of 5 starsReviewed yesterday NEW
We stayed at the beautiful Maple Hall Inn for the first time last weekend while visiting Lexington. Our visit was absolutely perfect with so much warm, welcoming hospitality. Our room was delightfully clean and spacious and we enjoyed a peaceful fall evening sipping complimentary hot cocoa by the glow of the fire in our own fireplace. What a romantic and peaceful evening it was. The breakfast the following morning was a Southern feast fit for royalty. We enjoyed the hearty meal before sadly packing up to depart on the crisp fall morning. We definitely would love to stay here again!

    I'm so jealous! Our road trip/anniversary celebration has no options for a dinner like your DS offers.

    Yes, I am a Foodie who spends hours and hours in the kitchen.

    What wonderful news !!!

    Hey we are our childrenâÂÂs biggest fans! At least thatâÂÂs what I tell my boys. IâÂÂm glad everyone is so happy and doing well while making others happy while they are at it.

    ~I googled the site and the restaurant looks great. The food looks so delicious and beautiful in its presentation.

    You should be so proud - brag away. We are our children's biggest and loudest cheerleaders.

    thank you jt and bl....I have always told the kids that I would probably embarrass them but that I couldn't stop myself from telling them and others how great they are....I don't think any of us can ever hear too much good about ourselves.

    thanks for looking at the site. You can check their facebook too and see lots of picks of his charcuterie and dishes.

    So happy to read this wonderful report on your DS and family! I know that area well. The drive from Roanoke to Lexington is so gorgeous. If your children can't be close by, then pray that they live in a beautiful place to visit.
    You scored big time! I attended a wedding brunch there years ago. It was charming then. Would love to revisit.
    Great news, trail!

    Hey Marti...thank you for your post. The drive is indeed beautiful. Do you mean you have been to Maple Hall? What a great coincidence!! I hope you get to re-visit. I will take some pics when I am next up there. Hopefully the kids will be getting into the house they are hoping to purchase..paperwork is taking forever ! c

    It sounds wonderful! I know it's terribly hard work but it must be so rewarding to create such fare.

    Thank you mnt ! Yes they both do work very hard but as you say they are getting really nice response from both their employer and the customers so it is indeed rewarding. Maybe you will be in the area someday...great place to take your kids..lots to see and do and hiking, cycling and of course just visiting the campuses with all their history. c

    Thank you just and lynn. At present the facebook is the more up to date area to check . They have an ongoing problem with the web page designer...sigh...they are trying to work it out. Thank you for posting. He changes the menu on a nightly basis for the specials. c
