Inn Details

Located in Florence, a village within Northampton, Massachusetts, the Sugar Maple Trailside Inn has two comfortable guest rooms on the second floor—each with private bathrooms.

The Inn is an 1865 house that underwent a complete and careful restoration in 2002. It was awarded the coveted Historic Preservation Award by the City of Northampton in the spring of 2003. In the fall of 2003, the restoration was featured on HGTV's Restore America--episode # 908.

Though the Inn honors the past, it does not forget the present and offers the modern amenities that discerning travelers expect. Both guest rooms have extensive antique furnishings, air-conditioning, and free access to the internet by way of a broadband wireless network. An extensive continental breakfast is offered each morning that includes fresh fruit, muffins, bagels, yogurt, coffee, various teas, and orange juices. We also offer our guests the convenience and security of an on-line calendar and reservation system found on our extensive web site at: .sugar-maple-inn For the active visitor, the Inn sits adjacent to a paved biking and hiking path that in a few years will be largely open all the way to New Haven Connecticut some 80 miles to the south. The inn boasts one of the region's largest collections of antique railroad maps, documents, and books about regional railroad history. Guests are welcome to peruse the library and relax in a cozy rocking chair on the three-season porch—or on our Goshen-stone patio that is directly adjacent to the rail trail.

    Photo Album

    An expanded continental breakfast is served each morning in our dining room. We serve coffee/tea/juice and freshly baked bagles, scones and muffins. We also have fresh fruit and various yogurts as well as locally produced jams.This is the Cedar Hill Room which has a queen size bed and a private bath. It faces the front facade and has ample closet and bureau space. Both our rooms have 60 channel cable TV and Wi-Fi access to the broadband from our network.
    This is the Haydenville Room--the smaller of our two guest rooms. Here you'll find a full-size bed.  Like the other room, it has a private bath, ample closet and bureau space, a 60 channel cable TV and access to our Wi-Fi network.This shows the HGTV Restore America film crew filming Susan Searle of Period Gardens.  Susan has designed all of our gardens to be correct for the time the house was built--1865.
    A view of our living room looking towards the dining room.Our kitchen has also been restored during the major renovations, but we did keep the 1860s era built in cabinet shown here at the far end.
    Our 3-season porch is a perfect place to read a book or let Calvin [our cat] decide if he wants to play with you. Calvin is a polydactyl cat--a cat with extra digits [look like thumbs] and he loves to play with the guests.  He also likes to try to escape as well.  He is an inside cat, though he'll try to convince you otherwise.The rail trail side of the house has a stone patio with a table and chairs.  It is the perfect place to sit and watch people pass by or chat with folks people in our relaxing pre-Civil-War era neigbhorhood.
    The 'garden bike' on our front lawn lights-up a night to be guide to guests coming at night.  "LOOK FOR THE LIT-UP BIKE!"This is view of the house from the driveway side showing a bit of our gardens.
