 Superb breakfasts. Warmth and serenity. Quiet farm living, minutes away from Niagara Falls and much more. Our 4,000 sq.ft. Victorian-style home displays original antiques throughout the large living space. Four spacious bedrooms are located on the second floor. Each room is tastefully decorated and provides guests with a unique charm and comfort that only a country residence can provide. Originally deeded by the Holland Land Company to Hiram McNeil in 1820, Maplehurst was one of the first parcels of property to be settled in the town of Cambria, at the time the only town in Niagara County. The original domicile was built between 1830 and 1840. Typical of construction practices at the time, the original structure was incorporated into the present seventeen-room Victorian-style home. At the time of McNeil's death, the home was described as "one of the finest country residences in Western New York." (The Lockport Union Sun & Journal, May 11, 1861.) The properties were sold, and all proceeds equally divided among his seven children. His descendants operated the family farm until October 21, 1921, when Henry J. & Ida Herbst assumed ownership and enriched Maplehurst's fine farming tradition, with the assistance of son Elmore, until the 1990s. Area Attractions and Activities: Niagara Falls, Lake Ontario, Niagara-on-the-Lake, theater, Canada, Fort Niagara, sporting events, Erie Canal, antique festivals. Services: Sitting room, cable TV, accommodate business travelers Most Popular Rooms: #1: Wedgewood blues and small print floral wall coverings add a bit of country charm to this most requested bedroom.
