The Appel Inn was such an amazing place to have my wedding. You get everything in one place - outside for photos you have the barn, creek, flowers, trees, land, and deck. Inside for the reception is perfect. The set up is amazing because guests all feel important and no one feels shoved in the back of the room because it is in a circle. The dance floor is in the middle which makes the first dance easy for everyone to see. The fireplace is beautiful, the ceilings are high and make the space feel so tall big. Perfect size for my 120 person wedding. We had the cocktail hour outside with a band and had the DJ inside for the rest of the night. The owner Laurie was amazing. She has strong opinions but she knows what she is doing. Listen to her suggestions and if you feel strongly about something she will help make it a reality. She knows what works and what doesnt work because it is her space and she has been doing it for so long.

The space is perfect. You get the rustic barn feel with the clean elegance of a new venue. I would highly recommend it.

The Best Western has a free shuttle. The desmond charges for a shuttle but it was good to have a nicer hotel for people to stay at while sitll having the transportation for them. It worked out perfectly.

Laurie helped me with my honeymoon too. She has been to so many of the Sandals resorts and has stayed there, eaten there, hung out there, etc. So she knows from the point of view of a travel agent AND a guest. Use her for her knowledge and photos!!!

It is not an Inn anymore so there are no rooms on site, but with a shuttle to a hotel why would you want to stay there anyway??

The place was dirty, the grounds were awful with old cars and in poor condition. Attended a wedding that a friend was getting married. Prior to the wedding the owner Laurie was a real rude and not open to anything. Kept pushing a specific DJ to do the wedding who I guess has since died. he place really needs to be cleaned up. Bathrooms in the 'Gathering Space" were awfl. They look like they have never been updated. I guess the owner is some sort of wedding planner. Before she plans people's weddings, she need to get her act together!!!

Don't bother. Terrible. Old and dirty and that includes the owner! Disgusting store she called a bridal shop that smelled like a Goodwill Store.
The grounds were in shambles. The owner (Laurie) kept stating how this will done and that will be done. Really, I don't care. I have my valuable time to come here with my groom. This place should not make me want throw-up!
Prices were the only thing that was realistic especially because who would ever get married here?
The owner was a total witch and turn-off from our first encounter. Again, I really don't care how many years you have been in business. Maybe she would have learned to clean up for company.
My words of wisdom for anyone thinking of using this venue, DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is not an Inn. There are no sleeping rooms. It is a poorly managed piece of land that is badly in need of repair. From the unpaved driveway with all the potholes to the broken mindows and gardens crying for help I would NEVER get married or have any function here. The owner is mean and bossy. She does not care about her property and definitly does not care about what the bride and groom want for their special day. It's all about her! What a turn-off! Then to add insult to injury she wanted to try and sell us a honeymmon! I explained my Mother is a Travel Agent and she claimed to know more! Pathetic that my Mother has been selling travel for 20 years and this lady says she knows more! I was sure my Mom would be not be happy.
