Okay, this is what I found out . it was an old library book, and it might have had a blue cover. The boy and his family took a vacation and grandpa taught the boy how to make maple sugar.

Thank you for suggesting Miracles on Maple Hill . While the story sounds somewhat similar, this is not the book we are looking for. Dorothy Canfield Fisher, Understood Betsy , 1999, reprint. This is from the 1960’s and sounds similar to the book you are looking for. It has a female leading character, not a male, but the cover (of my 60’s edition) has the girl and her grandfather making maple sugar. The girl had to leave her relatives and live with her grandparents in Vermont–it’s a memorable book. hope it is the right one!

Walter R. Brooks, Freddy and Mr. Camphor . Any time I hear “mystery” or “detective” and “pig” in the same description, I immediately think of Walter Brooks’ “Freddy” books. There are 26 books in the series (originally written between 1927 and 1958), and most of them have been reprinted. The mention of a hotel or resort makes me think of “Freddy and Mr. Camphor,” in which Freddy the pig detective decides to relax for the summer by taking a position as caretaker of a large estate. Freddy thinks his new job as caretaker of the wealthy Mr. Camphor’s lakeside estate will be pretty easy. However, when strange things start happening around the house, Freddy must use his detective skills to get to the bottom of things. Front cover shows Freddy relaxing in a lounge chair on the deck of a houseboat, underneath a striped awning. Another possibility might be ” Freddy Goes Camping ,” in which Freddy the pig helps his friend Mr. Brooks, Walter R., Freddy Goes Camping , 1948, copyright. M551 : Martyrdom of St. Elphege A friend is trying to remember “a historical novel written sometime in the 1950s or so, US publication, set in 9th or 10th century England, and involving the martyrdom of St. Elphege (which happened in 1012, BTW.) Hero’s name, I think, is Thorkill or some variant thereof.”
