Experience Maple Sugar Season in Maine
Spring is easily one of the sweetest times of the year! The birds are singing and the flowers are blooming; Mother Nature is abundant with beauty and life. Join us this year for a long-standing New England tradition and enjoy everything maple sugar season has to offer. Get ready for delicious treats and sweet experiences with a Maine getaway at Hartstone Inn & Hideaway.
Must-Visit Sugar Houses
The best place to see the maple sugar making process up-close is at one of the area’s esteemed sugar houses. Take the day and immerse yourself in the journey from sap to syrup! These nearby Sugar Houses are highly recommended and provide a great way to see the surrounding countryside and learn more about maple sugar manufacturing, as well as sample some delectable maple goodies.- Sparky’s has got your sweet tooth covered with a wide range of different kinds of honey and maple syrups. Get a taste of the sticky stuff and indulge in high-quality and natural goods as well as beeswax candles! – 15 minutes away from the Inn.
- Rock Acer Works is passionate about this nectar of the Gods we love so much. Bottled by a relatively small operation, the syrup produced by them has that undeniable homemade quality and is a great way to support local business and pick up some for yourself! – 10 minutes away from the Inn.
- Simmons & Daughters Sugar House has been family owned and operated since 2008 and produces delicious, all-natural maple syrup from their homestead in Morrill. They have a limited supply to sell in the spring so don’t wait! Head on down for a tour and pick up a bottle of their one-of-a-kind ooey-gooey goodness. – 30 minutes away from the Inn
Maine Maple Sunday
Maine Maple Sunday is a holiday extravaganza for the whole family! Put on by the Maine Maple Producers Association, this yearly celebration is all about that sweet stuff so head on down and get ready to experience the unique taste of Maine! With special events, activities, and plenty of opportunities to sample local syrups, it’s the perfect way to immerse yourself in Maine culture and get an up-close look at the community that helps foster that culture for future generations.
Delicious Dishes
As tempting as it may be, it’s unfortunately not possible to live on only maple syrup, so we’ll take care of the rest so you can focus on finding the next great thing to top your pancakes with! Speaking of breakfast, ours is prepared with care every morning and features delectable dishes like our Prosciutto Shirred Eggs and Maine Lobster Benedict. With premiere evening dining on property and our Wine Spectator award-winning wine list, you’re never far away from some truly delicious cuisine.
Accommodations That are as Sweet as Sugar
For all your maple adventures, Hartstone has cozy accommodations that will certainly “sweeten the deal” for any prospective traveler looking to experience Maine’s maple season. Stay in beautiful, Maine-inspired surroundings with a stylish flair. With fireplaces in most rooms and luxurious amenities throughout, a stay at Harstone is bound to be an unforgettable experience! We know that all this talk of liquid amber goodness has surely given you a hankering for the sweet stuff, so we won’t tease you any longer. However, we encourage you to follow where that craving leads and visit us here in beautiful Camden! We’ll provide everything you need for a fantastic getaway so you can spend some quality time engaging with the vibrant and unique culture of the area.
