My wife and I spent three nights at the Red Maple Inn during the September 2009 Brimfield Antique Show. Our rooom was quiet, clean and comfortable. Our breakfast and dinner meals were simply outstanding (truly 5 star quality). Shari and John, the Innkeepers, were friendly, warm and really concened that their guests enjoyed their stays. An outstanding stay in every... more

This is the most fabulous inn I have ever stayed in!! The innkeepers are accomodating and serve the most delicious food. Clean, beautiful, and luxurious. Do yourself a favor, and book a night (or a week!) at the Red Maple Inn in Spencer. more

My wife and I visited the Red Maple Inn for a few days leading up to the 4th of July as part of a longer vacation through New England. The weather was less-than-ideal, with lots of drizzle and downright downpours. We hardly noticed, however, because we had a wonderful time at the Inn! The owners are charming conversationalists, and offered... more

I have stayed at the Red Maple Inn 3 times- July 10 th and 11th of 2008 was my most recent visit. Each stay was for my yearly trip to the Brimfield Fair. I love staying in the Inn. The Inn keepers John and Shari are WONDERFUL. They created a beautful Inn and make each and every guest feel special.... more

From a B&B owner - it is always interesting to see someone else's approach to Innkeeping. The Red Maple Inn in Spencer, MA is stately and historic. My three teenage children and I were very comfortable there, and felt well taken care of. Breakfast was delicious. The Innkeeper was gracious even though the four of our each selected a different... more

My husband and I found the inn quite by chance. While looking for lodging close to a recent wedding I found the Red Maple Inn on the internet. I have not stopped raving about our stay since. The house was beautiful, elegantly decorated, you sank into the plush linens and the gourmet breakfast was delicious. I'm afraid Shari and John... more

The Red Maple Inn was simply divine. We had a wonderful stay with John and Shari, and hope to make it back to that part of the country again just to stay at the Inn. The food was splendid with a great variety of choices, ranging from simple granola to an amazing frittata. Our room was cozy, comfortable, and quiet.... more

Our stay at the Red Maple Inn was adequate but not up to the standard that the reviews on Trip Advisor led us to expect. The room was adequate but the bathroom was minute and the shower the smallest I've ever seen. The location was noisy and trafficky and the food, purported to be exquisitely gourmet, was at best mediocre... more

Subject: The Red Maple Inn Location: Spencer, Massachusetts, United States, North America Title: Owner response ID#: 8113290 It is clear that this guest was disappointed with his stay and we in turn are disappointed that we did not meet or exceed his expectations. We do however take exception to several comments. Firstly the use of "overly-hyped." The praise for our...
