Vermont from its heart. Maplecroft is a grand 1887 Victorian home built
by Scottish immigrant George Mackie, and features a circular tower,
carved wood trim, high ceilings and antique furnishings. Lovingly
renovated, George Mackie's "Scottish castle" is the perfect place from
which to enjoy the Barre-Montpelier area and Central Vermont with all
its beauty and history.
Maplecroft Bed & Breakfast offers

one with a full kitchen. Each guestroom and suite
