Historic Holiday Home Tour, Alpaca Farm Store Open House in Springfield, KY
Christmas and Teddy Bears go together like holiday treats and hot cider – especially when served in a picture-postcard setting that includes a historic, antebellum mansion trimmed with a red, gold and crystal-themed 14-foot Christmas tree, garlands of fresh pine cones and bright boughs of holly and sitting atop a curved, country road with, appropriately enough, animals that are members of the camel family cavorting in the front pasture.
Maple Hill Manor Bed and Breakfast and Alpaca & Llama Farm has created just such a Christmas scene for the holidays. Located in Springfield on Kentucky’s Lincoln, Civil War, Bourbon and Wine trails, the inn is pulling out the holiday stops this year in celebration of its selection as the first Kentucky B&B to be inducted into Bedandbreakfast.com’s prestigious Diamond Collection of America’s most distinguished Inns.
Innkeepers Tyler Horton and Todd Allen are hosting a free Christmas Holiday Open House 1-5pm, every Saturday through December that will feature a variety of homemade holiday refreshments, spirited holiday music, and tour of this Kentucky Landmark Home. Circa 1851, the Greek Revival-style home is lavished with Italianate detail and well-preserved historic accents.
A highlight of the tour is the inn’s Alpaca Farm and related Farm Store. Fully stocked with Eco-friendly, Kentucky Proud clothing and gift items made from Alpaca fur – including scarves, hats, gloves, capes, shawls, sweaters, blankets, throws, Teddy Bears and other animal figurines, yarn, roving, handcrafted items, and much more. Special Store Savings include Buy 1 Alpaca Garment – Get 1 Alpaca Garment 50% Off OR Buy 2 Alpaca Scarves – Get 1 Scarf for Free. Visitors of all ages will enjoy interacting with the nearly 50 beautiful fiber animals, as the farm specializes in the breeding, showing, and value-added sales of Suri Alpacas and Suri Llamas, the first Kentucky Farm with a purely Suri Alpaca and Llama operation. Holiday music will be piped inside the store and on the grounds of the 15-acre property. The Alpacas and Llamas enjoy the music as well.
Open House attendees may register for a drawing for a free overnight stay in one of Maple Hill Manor’s seven guestrooms, each laden with antiques and named for notables of the period in which the Manor was built, including President Abraham Lincoln, composer Stephen Collins Foster and writer Harriet Beecher Stowe.
One of the inn’s most famous gift items, the alpaca-made Teddy bear, is part of a special holiday “buy any two-night stay and receive a free Alpaca Teddy Bear” gift card/certificate offer that the inn will have through December 22. The silky-soft and very huggable fur Teddy Bear is a signature item featured in each guest room at Maple Hill Manor. They are proudly displayed on guest room beds for each guest stay as a companion and for those that establish a special fondness, the guests may adopt “their” bear upon check-out for $34.95, which includes official adoption papers.
