Maple Valley Inn, located at 116 W 2nd St in Trufant, Michigan, operates as a local inn with an attached American restaurant and bar & grill. With a solid 4.2 rating based on 70 reviews, the establishment is noted more for its casual dining and neighborhood bar atmosphere than as a traditional lodging option. Several guests have pointed out that it is primarily a bar and grill, with no accommodations available for overnight stays.
The property is known for its friendly and laid-back environment, attracting visitors looking for hearty American food and a welcoming place to enjoy drinks. Signature events like Taco Tuesday are popular draws, and the presence of a well-liked bartender adds to the neighborhood charm. The cozy setup offers a relaxed spot for casual gatherings rather than upscale dining experiences.
Guest feedback reflects a balance of appreciation and caution. Long-time patrons value the familiar, local vibe and the quality of service, while some note changes under new management and a name change to Trufant Tavern, indicating an evolving identity. Loud trivia nights may not appeal to everyone, but they contribute to the lively ambiance for those seeking social interaction.
Overall, this inn and bar is best suited for visitors or residents interested in a no-frills, community-focused setting to enjoy simple meals and drinks. It is not recommended for travelers looking for a hotel stay, but rather for those wanting a friendly neighborhood bar experience in Trufant.
Reviews from travelers who stayed here in the last 12 months, grouped to help you spot the pattern quickly.
Taco Tuesday is the best. Could do without the trivia being so loud but it's a big draw too. Ranae the bartender is awesome

No longer called thr maple vallet inn. Its the Trufant Tavern. Friendly environment and grate food

Hi everyone im one of the cook's here at the malpe valley we have great food and nice and friendly staff. Y'all should stop in and have a drink and some food. And also this is not a place you can sleep it's a Bar
This is just a cool, small town neighborhood bar - reputedly haunted - with decent bar food, a friendly, courteous staff and a comfortable atmosphere that makes you feel right at home the moment you walk through the door. This isn't the place to go for an upscale date, but if you're hanging with buds and want to have a few cold ones (served in Mason jars; a nice touch), then this is the bar for you.
Great local bar great food Love the history of our local restaurant
Recently changed hands. I've gone here for years and it was always great. It's Trufant Tavern now so the jury is still out.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
