“Awesome staff!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

Because of the staff I am giving this inn the 4 stars, otherwise it would only get 3.The rooms were clean but in need of serious renovations! New furniture and tv's would be a plus. While some like the country decor, it is just a little OTT for my taste. The staff is extremely courteous, friendly and helpful and they went above and beyond to make sure our stay was pleasant. Beautiful surroundings, awesome cookies, lovely wine reception as well. Good value for short stay. We did eat at the restaurant, dinner & breakfast. Again the staff did not disappoint. Food was good just not exceptional.Gift shop was really nice and we did purchase some of their baked goods and jam (yummy!). Maybe the rooms that have been updated would have been a better choice. I would not pass this up if you are in the area but you just might want to see the rooms before you decide to stay.

Room Tip: Ask to see the room first before you check in and you might want to choose another or upgrade to a r...

Thank you for reviewing our property. I am very happy to hear that our staff made your stay so enjoyable! We work very hard to provide excellent service to anyone who comes to the Apple Farm. The traditional decor of some of our rooms is not for everyone. I hope you have the chance to come back and experience our renovated rooms. We have kept the same feel with a more contemporary style. Thank you for your feedback it helps us to continuously improve!

“Lovely quaint stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Had arranged to stay at one of the cottages but were graciously transferred to the main hotel due to irrigation issues earlier in the day. The room was clean and newly updated. Martinelli apple cider and chocolate awaited us and was a lovely touch. At 7pm, in the main reception area are complimentary cookies fresh out of the oven. Various selections like chocolate chip with cranberries or an English toffee. The cookie size is generous and delicious. Get there quick as samples go fast.

The location is central and would be a great place to stay a few nights as your main location and explore the out-lying areas of wineries and other local interests. Sadly, we only stayed one night. The price was very reasonable for such a lovely room.

There is a hot tub and heated outdoor pool that was clean and enjoyable. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

“Still waiting for the updated rooms”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

We have stayed at the Apple Farm at least once a year for close to 8 years. As other hotels updated their rooms the Apple Farm lagged behind but we continued to forgive them as the hotel was cozy and predictable. Over the past few years they have updated some of their rooms to "speciality" rooms and increased the prices a bit. Really not much changed. The quilts are bright and new but the sheets are thin and the pillows are flat foam and the shower heads have no water pressure. The TV's are still still the old standard version with a poor picture and the best they can do is some HBO. Not to say we won't be back but we would continue to look for those special low season rates otherwise they are overpriced.

Room Tip: If you have a room you like you can call ahead and request it.

Thank you for taking the time to review the Apple Farm. I am sorry that you did not feel the specialty room you stayed in was adequately renovated. Every room in our Inn is unique, so some rooms may seem less updated because they have been kept more traditional. Last year we started adding new flat screen TVs and mini refrigerators to the renovated rooms and we are always happy to place you in one of these rooms if you request it. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Apple Farm again soon!

“Home away from home!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

person found this review helpful

We originally made hotel reservations through Hotels.com because we found a deal for $99/night! Our Vacation was delayed a day because one of us came down with the stomach flu and we missed the first day of our reservation. However, Apple Farm was more then accommodating to our situation and helped us rearrange our reservations last minute without any penalty. The rooms were beautifully decorated with turn-of-the-century cottage style appeal.

We had a large room with a King size bed and a seating area, windows looking out toward the back of the property where the creek runs. The bath room was clean and very spacious. There were cozy robes waiting in the closet with a fridge and coffee maker tucked away in the closet. Nice large flat screen TV with lots of free channels. They also had complimentary Martinelli's Apple Cider and Hershey's kisses chocolates waiting for you..(NICE TOUCH!)

The ENTIRE Apple Farm staff was extremely friendly, the front desk always had a smile and were extremely welcoming, the staff at the Apple Farm Restaurant and Bakery were just as welcoming. TRY THE SCONES <-----!!!! They also have a wine reception from 3:30 (?) till 5:30 and the gentlemen that was pouring the wines had one rule: If you leave the reception, you must leave with a full glass to take back to your room. (SIGN ME UP!)

One of the BEST weekend get-aways you could have starts at the Apple Farm

Room Tip: Check out the Wine reception and don't forget to grab a cookie every night!

“Updates are great!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

Since my last review we have stayed at The Apple Farm twice more - each time in an updated room. The updated rooms have mini fridges! The new decor is very elegant - but still feels like The Apple Farm. As always everything was neat and clean.

Room Tip: Ask for an updated room.

Thanking your for reviewing our property. It is great to hear that you have gotten the chance to stay in our renovated rooms! We have been adding new TVs and mini fridges to each room as we finish them which is an added perk. Our main goal throughout the renovation is to keep the same Apple Farm feel and I am glad you felt that way during your visit. We look forward to you next trip to the Apple Farm!
