We have recently returned from a 5 night stay at the Maple Street Inn.

The Maple Street Inn is definately the place to stay if you want a guest house with a little bit extra in gorgeous tranquill settings. The place has been beautifully restored and decorated and is located only a 5 minute drive from Barnstable and a 15 minute drive from Hyannis.

We stayed in the Beach Rose room in the main house that had a grand four poster bed and ensuite bathroom with free standing bath. The room was immaculate.

Each morning we were served with a 3 course gourmet breakfast which was delicious and always varied. The hosts Len & Pat were fantastic, they gave us ideas and suggestions on where to go and were very forthcoming.

The extra touches we liked were the complimentary glass of wine in the afternoon and the home-baked cookies and cakes left out for us in the evenings.

Whilst in Barnstable we would definatley recommend the whale watching. This was a wonderful day out and we saw over 30 whales. A truly unforgettable experience.

Thanks Len and Pat for a lovely stay - keep up the good work, and hopefully we will get the chance to come back and stay at the Maple Street Inn again someday.

P.S Thanks for the postcard!

We had a great time at the Maple Street Inn! The owners were very helpful and considerate and were not at all intrusive. They were very warm and welcoming from the start and couldn't have been better hosts. Our room (the Holly Room) was beautiful and very comfortable. The owners had taken so much care to attend to every detail of the room. The breakfasts were really well prepared and delicious and we appreciated their flexibility in timing. On our way out, we asked to see the other rooms which were also incredibly beautiful. If anything, the website pictures do not do justice to the rooms. They are MUCH more spectacular in reality. The surroundings were really peaceful and relaxing, although there is a lot to do nearby in terms of nice beaches, restaurants, and neighboring towns. I've stayed at quite a few B and Bs and this was by far the best experience I've had! We will definitely go back!

We were referred here by another inn that could only offer us one night. The inn is a newly renovated home listed on the National Historic Register. It is beautiful with a gorgeous patio/deck out back. We chose the Holly room because it opened to the deck. It also has a private entrance so you don't have to go through the house to get to it. The location is very quiet and sits above a pond, just two minutes from 6A. They plan to cut the brush so the view to the pond will be better. Our room was tiny but comfortable. Probably not good for the "big and tall" set. The bathroom was very small but so clean and new I think we were the first to use it! My husband felt a bit cramped. My husband was able to catch the last few minutes of the Red Sox on the flat screen TV. Lost to the Yankees, alas... The cook had a few problems getting our breakfast on the table but once the problems were ironed out, the French toast was delicious. Fresh squeezed juice. Fresh fruit. Yummy homemade granola and all the fresh coffee we could drink. The owners, Pat and Len are very friendly and happy to offer suggestions for dining and things to see and do. We ate at the Roadhouse in Hyannis. Wonderful! We also saw a play at the Cape Playhouse in Dennis. Fun.

Came to the Cape for a 70th Birthday (my dad's) and needed a place to stay. Turns out the Maple Street Inn was the highlight of the trip. It's been beautifully and lovingly restored by Len & Pat very recently; it's got a great location near all of the 6A antique shops and not far from Highway 6.

We stayed in the Holly Room. It's lovely and quiet with a separate entrance. Nice touches include a small crystal chandelier, the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in; a flatscreen tv with DVD player (remember to bring you're own); chenille robes and shower with body sprays. Next time, we plan to try out the Hydrangia room.

But it's not just about the structure. Pat & Len are delightful--helpful without being intrusive; they serve a delicious breakfast; Len even helped us pick out paint colors (we were inspired by the palette of the b&b).

We'll be back! And recommend it highly!
