Rediscover Historical Elegance from an Era of Refined Romance and Southern Charm
Thomas Irvine McElroy built this beautiful Greek Revival Plantation Home on nearly 600 acres and presented it as a Wedding Gift to his young bride, Sarah Jane Maxwell. Lavished with numerous architectural features, it is accented with Italianate detail, spans over 7,000 sq. ft., with 14' ceilings, 12' doorways, 9' windows, 13 original rooms - most are 20' x 20' with some even larger, and a grand cherry floating spiral staircase.
Its colorful past includes stories of an Antebellum Plantation, use as a Civil War Encampment and Hospital, the Childhood Home to Phil Simms - former NY Giants Quarterback and Super Bowl XXI's MVP, a popular Dinner Hall, and a Foster Children's Home to over 300 children. Today it is an award-winning Bed & Breakfast, Wedding/Special Events Showplace, Alpaca & Llama Farm, and Handcrafted Gift Gallery: Manor Cottage Gifts.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and considered a
Kentucky Landmark Home.
This working farm is stately set on 15 tranquil acres in the heart of Kentucky's scenic Bluegrass Region (an hour southeast of Louisville and an hour southwest of Lexington), and the home is considered one of the best preserved Antebellum Homes in the Commonwealth. Its tranquil, country setting is surrounded by picturesque rolling hills of bluegrass with a 3,000 acre race horse farm on one side and 300 acre cattle and tobacco farm on the other - a beautiful and restful place to seek refuge and enjoy the country fresh air.
Come see for yourself why readers of Kentucky Monthly Magazine voted Maple Hill Manor as "Kentucky's Best B&B."

The main foyer (pictured here), which measures 12' wide and 45' long, is dominated by the original, freestanding, cherry spiral staircase and lighted by the smallest of three chandeliers from the early 1900s.
Awaken to the delightful strains of chamber music and the wafting aromas of freshly brewed coffee and hot-from-the-oven muffins, as the day begins with a specially prepared breakfast served on fine china in the dining room.
In the evening, relax with us under the soft light of the elegant chandelier and enjoy a complimentary homemade dessert and beverage. A spacious parlor/communal area offers cozy surroundings for a game of cards, puzzle making or curling up with a good book.
