A Message of Thanks

Thank you!

Three years ago we officially opened our doors as a bed and brakfast and welcomed our first overnight guests.  SIcne then, we have had hundreds of travelers, both business and pleasure, stay with us either as a repose on their way somewhere or as a final destinantion to take in the beauty of the PA great outdoors.  In the last three years, we have hosted weddings, business retreats, tea parties, birthdays, and countless other celebrations.  Though the events of 2020 impacted our business, as it did many others, it also forced us to adapt and become even more creative in our business model.  

This past year, we met with many of distraught brides to help them restructure their wedding into a small, intimate gathering that took place in our beautiful gardens.  We expanded our culinary skills to offer Monday Meals from the Maple Shade through curbside pickup.  We also were still able to host travelers who sought the fresh air and experience of biking Rails to Trails or adventure of seeing the mighty PA elk herds. 

Although this last year was trying, it was one of many lessons.  The most important lesson being to not take for granted the amount of support provided by our small, but mighty town of Brockway!  Throughout the pandemic, it was our fellow Brockwayians who supported us through social media shares, posting their own photos and memoiries of the Mansion, and purchasing gift certificates and Monday Meals to go.  We can't begin to thank you enough.  It's an honor to be able to live and work in such an incredible town.  It is truly a privilege to call Brockway home.  

Thank you for continuing to support the dream of the Maple Shade Mansion.  

With deepest gratitude, 

Sharon Varischetti, Innkeeper
