My wife and I really enjoyed our stay here. We stayed in a two room suite that had everything we needed. A lot of old world charm. Spent time in the great room adjacent to the lobby. It had comfortable seating,games, books and a nice fireplace. It would be a great place for a family reunion.

A must stay

My wife and I stayed for our 30th anniversary. I would highly recommend it, this hotel is definitely not the average hotel. The property, rooms, lobby, patio and lounge are historic and beautiful. The staff is incredibly welcoming and friendly and keep the rooms and facility, clean and spotless.

My daughter and I stayed here for a weekend getaway and we loved Maxwelton Braes. The on-site tennis and pickle ball courts made us wish we were staying longer. We also loved the patio outside. They even offered us complimentary use of the cruiser bicycles so we could cycle into Bailey Harbor just a mile away. We had an excellent time and would happily go back.

We chose to stay at Maxwelton Braes Lodge ecause of its location near friends and because of the adjacent golf course. We had a comfortable stay in a clean room, but were disappointed that the previous Thyme Restaurant was no ,onger operating in the lodge. There is a limited menu restaurant operation that is open part of the week, but never for breakfast. We were also disappointed that the lodge is not located to allow walking or hiiking to other Baileys Harbor points of interest or dining. The hotel rooms also appear to have dampness issues. The archictecture and historic nature of the lodge is very interesting and provides a nice experience for those that enjoy that feature.

New owners taking pride of ownership in a true vintage property. While keeping some of the original and distinctive parts of the property, new updates have been made to create a warm, welcoming, and romantic destination. Restaurant owner is very hands on and consistently providing a great menu served up enticing and tasting delicious. Overall, a step back in time where small business operations make it a personal and satisfying experience. The cherry on top is a beautiful golf course to play as well. Will return!
