Its colorful past includes stories of an Antebellum Plantation, use as a Confederate Hospital, the Childhood Home to Phil Simms - former NY Giants Quarterback and Super Bowl XXI's MVP, a popular Dinner Hall, and Children's Home. Today it is an award-winning Bed & Breakfast, Wedding/Special Events Showplace, Alpaca & Llama Farm, and Handcrafted Gift Gallery: Manor Cottage Gifts. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and considered a Kentucky Landmark Home. This working farm is stately set on 14 tranquil acres in the heart of Kentucky's scenic Bluegrass Region (an hour southeast of Louisville and an hour southwest of Lexington), and the home is considered one of the best preserved Antebellum Homes in the Commonwealth. Come see for yourself why readers of Kentucky Monthly Magazine voted Maple Hill Manor as ""Kentucky's Best B&B.""
