The Inn at Maple Crossing is a beautiful 19th century mansion that is set amongst leafy trees besides a beautiful lake. A gorgeous rolling lawn rolls down from the building's rear porch and runs all the way down to the water's edge. You can sip a cool iced tea, or a glass of wine, looking out across the lake at picturesque scenes. Within the Inn itself is a lovely shop, selling a host of trinkets to fine pieces of art, many of which from local artists as well as one of the owners herself, Nancy. Nancy's husband Jim runs the kitchen and you can see his arts major come through in his cooking. Simply put, the food looks and tastes incredible. It is well worth a turn even if you're not staying at the Inn. Jim gives his guests the background and inspiration for his cooking. One evening we were taken on a culinary adventure of southern France, traveling around the coast to northern Italy. The wine, the dishes, the deserts - all wonderful. The bedrooms' decor come straight from a D.H. Lawrence novel or perhaps Mark Twain. White, airy, grand, romantic, bright and clean (important, of course). My wife and I felt like in one day we had been on a full blown romantic vacation for a week. If you're in the area - GO! If you're not in the area, get in the car and GO ANYWAY! This is now one of my favorite spots in the world and we will be back. For sure! On Valentine's Day (Friday night in 2014) they have a 7 course meal accompanied by poetry readings and I think maybe also some musical arrangements. We can't wait to go!!

The Inn at Maple Crossing is a beautiful Bed & Breakfast on the shores of Maple Lake. There are 16…read morerooms, and has a restaurant open to the public for lunch and dinner. (breakfast is reserved for guests) (description from their website sums it up best) Sumptuous fixed-price dinners, by reservation only, evening or Sunday midday, served 19th C. country inn style, like you have just come in on the stagecoach and "this is what we are serving tonight!" Choice of two or three entree, featuring such specialties as London Broil, beef or buffalo sirloins, medallions of pork, stuffed pork chops, Chicken Supreme, chicken Florentine, walleye, parchment salmon, and vegetarian entree by request. The owner/chef Jim, has some real culinary talent. His dishes are always well prepared...and are usually presented with a story of sorts. The perfectly prepared entrees originate from all over the world. Dinner is served, starting with a fantastic salad topped with their famous wild raspberry dressing and a basket of rolls. There is usually a soup course before the main entree as well. I especially like the wild rice soups. A dessert course follows, and is served along with coffee or tea. A nice selection of beer and wines is available as well. Lunches are served daily, you can check the website for more info. Sunday midday meal is classic Chicken dinner. You cannot beat the romantic atmosphere for a special night out with your significant other. The tables are candlelit, with linen tablecloths and napkins. A full four course dinner will run $21 per person plus beverage. The drive from Grand Forks area is about 1 hour to The Inn. My recommendation is to reserve a room for the evening, and make reservations for dinner that night. You will then get the entire "Inn Experience"...and have a great breakfast as well. Enjoy! I give The Innkeepers Jim & Nancy high marks!

I was greeted friendly, immediately and asked if I would be dining. I replied, "No. Just an espresso. In fact I would like a Traditional Italian Macchiato (TIM)." (I lived in Italy for 5 months) The attendant asked if I would like a 16 or 20oz, at which point I explained to her what a TIM was. She assured me that would be no problem to guesstimake. 2 minutes later I was served the BEST TIM I've had since living in Italy in 1993! The espresso, the temperature, amounts of foam & steamed milk were all perfect! Later I called 517 to express to the (Owner I think) how amazing the Macchiato was, but instead unwittingly spoke to the barista that MADE my TIM. Needless to say, she got choked up & thanked me profusely. I told her, "Don't ever forget how to make that! You've nailed it!" So, thank you to unknown barista girl. If you knew how to make it...good on you! If it was the result of an "educated guess" (I assume) it was a stroke of divinely inspired genius! Congratulations to you and whoever sources your Espresso beans! Keep up the amazing work! I'll be back!
