ABOUT
Maple Bottom Farm is owned by Vickie & Mike Baker and our children Lee & Clara. Our Farmhouse B&B is family operated with Vickie's mother, Susan Ansell. We are located on a dead end road in Dawson, PA , just minutes from Scottdale and Connellsville, and are less than an hour from Pittsburgh. Guests can enjoy a farm-stay, our flower fields, and a farm tour. Our goal is to provide families with a relaxing experience in our updated Farmhouse. Our homemade breakfast features many items grown right here on the farm. We hope that you enjoy your stay.
Our dairy consists of a DeLaval robotic milker and we process Golden Guernsey dairy products as part of Naturally Golden Family Farms, a group of local family farmers working together to bring quality dairy products to our community. The Red Shed offers Self Serve Farm Fresh Food and is open 24/7.
We offer a sunflower, zinnia and cosmo fields that are open seasonally (late July through Sept in 2024). Please check Facebook for daily hours and closures due to weather.
Dogs are permitted in the fields on Thursdays.
