My husband, daughter, son-in-law, and their 18 month old baby enjoyed a week at the Maple House. It was open, airy, spacious, and impeccably clean. When we arrived, there was a "welcome basket" of fruits, coffee, etc., which was a lovely touch. There was no clutter, so though it was not "child-proof", it was not difficult having a toddler there. The grounds are park-like, and we enjoyed evenings on the patio. Also because we planned to cook some of our meals, we were delighted that there was a pantry with basic seasonings so we didn't have to purchase quantities that we wouldn't use. And all the necessary cooking and food preparation tools were there.
It's a short, enjoyable walk to the center of Lenox, where we went for coffee and lunches on some days. The staff was most responsive, we loved staying there, and highly recommend Maple House.
