Your host is normally somewhere on the farm each day, let him know if anything is needed. A portable sawmill is used to make lumber on the farm from the trees that need to be removed. Maple Syrup is made on the farm each spring in February and March.

What a great getaway! This home was IMMACULATE. It has an old farmhouse feel, but with all the modern amenities you would want for a carefree stay (large screen TV, wireless internet, dishwasher, AND an infrared grill). We were able to create some fantastic meals (including a pancake breakfast with REAL maple syrup... this is a a Maple Syrup farm, afterall!!) The house is located not very far from I-71 (close enough for a quick ride, but far enough to be secluded and away from any highway noise), which was very nice. Plenty of books and games are right there in the house, and the grounds are beautiful and perfect for a long walk. Tom, the owner stopped by and was incredibly kind and courteous, and even offered up some history about the house and property. Excellent house! Excellent owner! Excellent getaway all around.

Dear Tom

We all enjoyed your friendly hospitality.
Your home is warm and inviting.
Thank you for the fire Sat. night.
We sat there for a long time while Connor and Keely played with Duke.
We learned a lot about maple syrup and were happy to buy some to take home to family.
All in all it was a perfect place to celebrate Connor's 12th birthday.
We hope to return again.

Thanks from all of us

Beautiful Maplewood

We were blown away by the magnificent rolling hills of the Lucas area. As city people, we were amazed at the peace and stillness of the outdoors, and how it complemented the rich autumn colors of the hardwoods everywhere. The farm home is cozy and comfortable, extremely clean and functional. We liked watching the birds at the feeder just outside the kitchen window, eating our breakfasts and lunches on the deck while we gazed at the vista of fields and trees beyond the barn, no human being in sight. Our favorite activities were visiting Malabar Farm during its Heritage Days, Mohican State Park, and hiking all over the beautiful trails through woods and cornfields on the farm. Tom, the owner, could not have been more gracious and accommodating. Will we be back again? Will we recommend it as a heavenly getaway? Absolutely!

They call it Pleasant Valley for a reason. Maplewood Farm is TOTALLY PLEASANT! It is so serene! The Baumbergers are wonderful people that want their guests to be satisfied. The fishing is great. You put in your line and before you know it there's a fish and another and another. We loved the hiking trails that are well marked so you can't get lost. Looking out over the swaying rows of corn stalks from the porch swing is so beautiful and breathtaking. We saw deer and bats, listened to racoons and frogs, and enjoyed visits from Duke, Tom's dog. We had very restful nights in the comfy beds. The whole house is clean and comfortable. Oh yes, we were in blueberry heaven. We ate loads of delicious blueberries. The maple syrup made at the farm is marvelous. We found many interesting books to read from and look through. We even watched a late night movie together that we picked from the many stations they have. We had shakes at Steak and Shake. The Amish cooking at Der Dutchman is scrumptious. Both restaurants are close by. We also liked grilling out on the large deck. There's nothing like ending the day with a fire under the many stars that can be seen up in the country sky. Our time was restful, peaceful, and enjoyable. We certainly will recommend Maplewood to others. We can't wait to return to the pleasantry of Maplewood Farm.
