Silver Maple Lodge offers adventure, with many nearby activities, or the peace and quiet of the lodge's gardens. First opened in the 1920s, the lodge still holds an 18th-century charm with its antiques and architecture. Choose from one of the eight rooms in the original farmhouse or one of seven knotty pine cottage rooms. All cottages have private bathrooms, cable TV and A/C, while some have kitchenettes and fireplaces. The lodge rooms are more basic; most have private bathrooms and all are decorated with antiques as old as 200 years. For dinner, visit the nearby Peyton Place Restaurant, housed in an 18th-century building and serving European-Asian cuisine. Well-behaved pets are allowed.
