🍂 Fall at Maple Cove: Cozy Days, Crisp Nights & New Beginnings
There’s something truly special about autumn at Maple Cove Bed & Breakfast. The air turns crisp, the trees low with golden hues, and the rustle of falling leaves creates its own kind of music across our peaceful grounds. Mornings begin with coffee on the porch, while evenings invite you to curl up by the fire with a cozy throw and a good story.
As nature shifts into its most colorful season, we’re reminded how change can be both beautiful and exciting — much like the next chapter unfolding here at Maple Cove.
✨ A Season of Change at Maple Cove
After ten wonderful years, the Main House will retire as a B&B on December 31, 2025. While we’ll miss the energy of guests filling its rooms, we’re overjoyed to continue Maple Cove’s story through our private and peaceful retreat — The August House.
Just steps away from the Main House, The August House offers all the warmth and attention to detail our guests have come to love. With two bedrooms, a three-sided fireplace, a spa-inspired soaking tub, and a sunny porch perfect for morning coffee, it’s ideal for romantic escapes, girlfriend getaways, or longer stays.
Breakfast can still be delivered to your door, or you can create your own feast in the fully equipped kitchen. Either way, it’s all yours — no shared spaces, no other guests, just peace, privacy, and the quiet beauty of the property.
🍎 Experience Fall in Leonard, Michigan
Fall in northern Oakland County is a sensory treat — fresh cider, warm donuts, hayrides, and rows of apple trees heavy with fruit. Blake’s Orchard & Cider Mill, Yates Cider Mill, and other local farms are just a short drive from Maple Cove, offering classic Michigan fall experiences that make every weekend getaway feel like a small-town celebration.
🎄 Looking Ahead: The Magic of the Holidays
As autumn fades into winter, one of our favorite traditions returns — the Holiday Walk and Winter Wonder Lights at Meadow Brook Hall. Guests who stay at Maple Cove can enjoy discounted tickets when reserved in advance, making it the perfect pairing with a cozy night in the August House. Wander the halls of the historic mansion, admire its glittering trees, and then come “home” to Maple Cove to relax by the fire.
🕯️ Stay, Savor, & Slow Down
Whether you’re booking one last stay in the Main House before it retires or planning a longer retreat at the August House, we invite you to embrace the season’s slower rhythm. Enjoy the peacefulness of the Inn, visit a nearby orchard, and let the quiet countryside remind you how good it feels to just be still.
With gratitude and warmth,
Jan & Mark
