Maple Cove Bed and Breakfast - Guest door exterior

Maple Cove Bed and Breakfast

(9 reviews)

Spacious, comfortable, well maintained B&B and phenomenal hosts…read more Stayed for 2 nights at Maple Cove B&B in the Casablanca Suite. Each suite is in its own area with private sitting rooms and private bathrooms. The suites (sitting room, bedroom, and bathroom) were very spacious and you can tell that a lot of attention and care is being put in taking care of the B&B. Everything is well maintained, clean, and the attention to detail is not to be ignored. From the moment we booked the suite, we were welcomed and attended to. We mainly interacted with Jan, but met Mark as well. Both were very gracious, kind, and welcoming. The breakfasts were phenomenal. Jan was accommodating and conscientious of our preferences. She was also very attentive, but not intrusive. Lovely stay at this B&B. Looking forward to staying again. Below is a pros and cons list as I find these to be more visually appealing: Pros: 1. Suites are separate from one another-each having a sitting area, bedroom, and its own bath. 2. Bathroom (in the Casablanca) was very spacious (has a huge bathtub, a separate shower and good privacy). 3. Breakfast!! So delicious and SO filling. Seriously filling. Again, Jan is so conscientious of your needs, that it's hard to go wrong with what she makes! Yum! 4.Pool table in the common area-there are also some books, a piano, some games. 5. Everything was super clean and comfortable. The hosts worked extra hard to insure our comfort level and to make sure we were satisfied with the accommodations 6. Shared pantry has many extras. 7. Little (big) extras everywhere--we were welcomed with a freshly baked batch of brownies (super delicious, btw), there are drinks in the shared pantry (I haven't seen this at other B&Bs yet), extras in the bathroom in case something is forgotten (we didn't forget anything this time, but that was a lovely touch :) ). 8. The hosts-friendly, kind, conscientious, attentive but not intrusive, amazing cooks, helpful, gracious. I really can't say enough good things about the hosts! :) 9. Free Wi-Fi/internet with lots of channels. 10. They have neat specials that are being promoted (for the next few months)-not sure if specials are always happening, or they happen more just during winter months, but that's kind of exciting. Cons: 1. Bring slip free socks--the floors are super clean (pro!) but can be a bit slippery as a result if you're just wearing regular socks. This is a goofy con, since it's actually a pro, but more just a suggestion. ha. 2. We stayed during the week and so it was super quiet, but I would wonder how noise would travel if there were more people there (specifically if sitting in the sitting room and people were playing pool outside the door). Because everything is separate, I would think noise is not much of an issue, but that was a random thought.

My husband and I stayed on a Saturday night in January 2025 to celebrate our wedding anniversary…read more We stayed in the Hepburn Suite, which was more beautiful and larger than the pictures suggested. The suite has a large bedroom and a separate sitting room and a separate private bath. It takes up one whole upper side of the large house. It, like the rest of the inn, was immaculate. We checked in late afternoon and through the beautiful wall-wide windows watched the sun setting over the snow. Gorgeous. Everything about Maple Cove exceeded our expectations. So comfortable and warm. Plenty of hot water for a tub in the morning, window seats in both the sitting area and the bedroom for sunrise and sunset views. Beautifully decorated, but not kitschy or cluttered. They also supplied a mini-fridge, a K-cup coffee maker, plenty of towels, extra blankets and pillows. In the morning Jan made us a gourmet breakfast. I do not exaggerate. An incredible omelet, fruit and yogurt parfait, fresh coffee, grilled sourdough toast, potatoes (perhaps fondant?) and orange juice. Plus homemade cinnamon scones! We loved it and will go back in the summer to use the pool! This may be the nicest B&B I've ever stayed in. Thank you, Jan and Mark!

Everything was fabulous!! The history of the B&B and the owner and his team is fascinating so be…read moresure to ask!! We opted for one of the rooms on a main floor. It was very colorful with lots of incredible art. Our particular room was divided into 3 spaces. Upon entering there was a small foyer with an open closet to our left. It had a luggage rack and room for hanging clothing and Luxurious bathrobes that were soft and cozy !! A few steps took us to a hall-there was a cove with a commode to the left, soft lighting and a towel rack supplied us with high quality towels and washcloths including dark washcloths embroidered with "make up removal". Left a few steps and there was a large marble vanity with delightful products to meet all your needs. I was surprised to find a huge shower, w/plenty of seating and showerheads that were actually located in the ceiling as well as a large oval shower head that you could sit under. Going back just beyond the entrance was the actual bedroom. Mind you there were areas carved out of the wall along the way with statuary ....everything was so unique!! I felt like I was in Europe, We had a queen size bed, and most importantly, high-quality sheets and bedding, which is really important to me. There were a couple of windows covered with beautiful drapery for privacy. One of our windows was quite near the courtyard and had a very cool sculpture hanging from a tree. There was a comfy loveseat along with a reasonably sized television. In a whole separate interior section of the bedroom, there was a bathtub. This was no ordinary tub. It was huge like easily fits two people, but could fit more.. it was jetted with multiple jets. I had never seen a tub like . The first night we were startled by what sounded like a huge fan but was actually designed to blow out any water or dampness that was in them to keep them functioning well. I found this out when I got up to investigate what was going on over near the tub,there was a sticker that explained-I had not noticed it earlier, but this happened nightly about 9 PM whether you use the tub or not. I was incredulous. You could expect that every suite was individually decorated, but all have comfort and luxury as key components. I'm thinking I'm going to run out of space but want to comment on the delicious cooked to order breakfast. It was exactly that. Omelettes, oatmeal, eggs cooked anyway you wanted along with fresh fruit and freshly baked muffins that were still warm. The coffee was a little strong for me, but I think most people would find it very satisfactory. We highly recommend this but bed-and-breakfast if you're ever in the East Lansing area in fact, we would even travel a few hours to get to it. We plan to return soon!!! Pics are owner photos.

We were just there 3 full days July 2nd to the 5th 2026. No words are enough to describe the home…read moreand the new owners are incredible sweetest ever. They are 2nd year owners taking over from previous owners that ran it 35+ years. They are so very gracious and to think re-visiting where I grew up "was" going to do a 3 stay hotel in Marysville till I looked up the rates for the Heather and for over the major July 4th the room daily fee was a mere $42.00 more a night and included a no joke "Chef Gordon Ramsey" quality breakfast every morning. We got to see all the rooms being nobody was there yet for that day and it took a few days to see every detail. Pictures don't do enough so to see in person was a treat and every room is decorated it's own way. The place is really quiet also even when other people were around it's just really nice and we didn't hear anything the whole three days there just when people came down for breakfast. You get your own front door key to come and go as you please anytime the front door locks behind you. The A/C in the rooms are perfect and whisper quiet never heard such a quiet unit before no motel ones are like that. TV, internet, every room a bathroom some have a jacuzzi. Bed was high end and so were the sheets and pillows. Everything you need is there to use even a hair dryer on the wall. Lots of storage for clothes and other furniture to sit on besides a bed. Everything antique is just amazing and talk about super clean. Every room has it's own balcony and you can just look out and see the freighters going by in the St. Clair river. That coffee quality is something I never had before and asked them what they use and said we get in Port Huron specially made in a coffee house. Amazing inside that as well but the Heather owners are the best so being the previous owners were awesome for many years, these two young people have a huge reputation to uphold and they are doing just that. Can't say enough about them and the experience staying there. The breakfasts are 8:30 and we chose the front window table for 2 every morning full service facing the river they bring everything to you this is not buffet it's full service included in price. They have a real large table for multiple people to have breakfast also. NEVER had breakfasts like these before that good and so unique and every day is different not repeated. For the rates and what you get who needs a boring common motel that can cost this easily and more most of the time for each night and just maybe get a generic breakfast. The Heather B&B is a hidden treasure and been there so many years. Post this and share comments. People may think a historic B&B is high priced but search rooms by name and rates you'll find this is a bargain and very special.

The food was delicious and the room was spotless!! My wife and I loved hanging out in the coffee…read morenook in one of the house towers overlooking the main street of Marine City. The couple was very hospitable and we loved co-mingling at breakfast with the many other guests. Still rating 5 starts but the only draw back we had was the truck traffic outside our window was a lil loud sometimes but all in all a wonderful stay!!

You get a place to lay your head and you get a feel for what it's like to live in a place. In a sense, visiting Detroit is like visiting another country. It defies convention and expectation and pulls you in. Honor & Folly is a terrific place to fall in love with the city. It's perched above three essential places: a BBQ joint, a cocktail bar and a coffee shop. Across the street is the iconic ruin of Michigan's central station. Down Michigan is downtown Detroit. The interior is beautiful and driven by a strong design aesthetic. Goods like blankets, dishes and cutting boards are for sale and their makers have fascinating only-in-michigan stories. The proprietress, Meghan, is a design connoisseur and clearly a linker of people, who cultivates a very easygoing vibe while sacrificing nothing in terms of the quality of visual effect. Every object in every room seems to have a functional and decorative purpose. Here's what you need to know about Honor & Folly. Parking is street only and because Slows BBQ is so popular (as in wait for two hours for a table popular), many people are parking on the street. Even so, we had no problem finding a decent spot within view of where we were staying. This is a self-catering place so you can buy food and cook it up, but there's no breakfast with the bed. We bought coffee downstairs, had them grind it and then brewed our own little french press each morning. I highly recommend this inn. If you've given serious thought to exploring Detroit or just want a nest-like getaway, check it out. The Honor & Folly site describes the inn as: "A small-scale, design-focused Detroit inn, Honor & Folly is reminiscent of the way folks used to travel: a few beds above the village pub or restaurant with a hearty breakfast. You'll be immersed in the oldest neighborhood of Detroit - smack in the middle of one of the most thriving blocks in the city. You'll sit next to locals at the bar downstairs--or the coffee shop--and learn about the city from people who live here. Detroiters are a pretty friendly lot."

Going over the Ambassador Bridge, after clearing U.S. Customs, the apartment is two or three minutes away. Host was excellent helping us to reserve the rental space, as well as offering hip trip suggestions. Just outside the door of the pad, there are unique Corktown restaurants, cafes, and bars (i.e., Slows B.B.Q., The Sugar House, Mercury Burger and Bar, and Astro Coffee, what else do you need, eh?!). We did not have a car during our stay in the Motor City, yes, if you can believe it. Used Via Rail train service to Windsor station, then, hired a taxi to take us to the U.S. During the day, one can easily walk from the apartment to all sites in the downtown of Detroit, and hire a taxi if too tired to walk back. Again, car is not required to get the best out of Detroit, so long as you like to walk, befriend a reliable taxi driver, and know where you're heading. We can't wait to go back to Detroit, and stay here.
