Tour, Shop, and Save at a unique Kentucky Alpaca and Llama Farm
– Local, Eco-Friendly, Kentucky Proud items as gifts this holiday season
Historic Holiday Home Tour, Alpaca Farm Store Holiday Boutique 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, guest room mantel tops adorned with garlands of fresh pine cones and bright boughs, and every window graced with delicate white lights, and appropriately enough, farm 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 Holy Land Heritage Trail, Lincoln and Civil War, and Bourbon and Wine Tourism Trails, the inn has much to celebrate having been ranked number 15 in the TOP 50 US B&Bs for Food by TheDailyMeal.com, having expanded to include the opening of a second B&B in Bardstown known as Bourbon Manor Bed & Breakfast Inn, and having completed its 26th year in business – making it one of the oldest, most award-winning Bed & Breakfast in Kentucky.
Innkeepers Todd Allen and Tyler Horton are hosting a FREE, 26th Holiday Open House Saturday, December 13, 1-5pm, that will feature a variety of homemade holiday refreshments, spirited holiday music, and tour of this Kentucky Landmark Home and most award-winning B&B in Kentucky. 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 and Llama Farm and related Fiber Farm Store. Fully stocked with Eco-friendly, Kentucky Proud clothing and truly unique gift items made from Alpaca fur – including scarves, hats, gloves, capes, shawls, sweaters, blankets, throws, Fur Teddy Bears and other animal figurines, yarn, roving, handcrafted items, and much more. Special Store Savings include Buy 2 Alpaca Scarves, Get 1 FREE. Visitors of all ages will enjoy interacting with the nearly 40 beautiful fiber animals, as the farm specializes in the breeding, showing, and value-added product sales of Suri Alpacas and Suri Llamas, the first and only Kentucky Farm with a purely Suri Alpaca and Llama operation. Holiday music will be played inside the store and on the grounds of the 15-acre historic working farm.
Open House attendees may register for a drawing for a FREE overnight stay in one of Maple Hill Manor’s seven themed guestrooms, each appointed with antiques and named for notables of the period in which the Manor was built, including President Abraham Lincoln, composer Stephen Collins Foster, artist John James Audubon, and writer Harriet Beecher Stowe.
One of the inn’s most famous gift items, the Alpaca Fur Teddy Bear, is part of a special holiday “reserve a two-night stay in December and January and receive a FREE Alpaca Teddy Bear.” 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 guestroom” bear upon check-out for $34.95, which includes official adoption papers.
