Very tranquil and scenic location, if a bit remote. Hosts are very hospitable and rooms are well kept. Enjoyed sitting on the spacious porch and of course bonding with the llamas. The llama trek was a great way to see the area and get to know the animals.

We absolutely loved this place! Here are some of the highlights: walking our dogs each morning and evening on the huge farm, with lovely views of mountains and llamas; swimming in the pool under the stars (even though all rooms were booked, there was NEVER anyone else in it!); enjoying the hot tub; sitting out on the porch drinking wine; and eating breakfast with the other guests are just some of the wonderful things we enjoyed during our stay.The location is perfect--it's very close to Lexington and the Natural Bridge (make sure to visit Foamhenge, just a few miles down the road!). The rooms aren't super-fancy, but everything is clean, which is the most important thing, right? There was one (small) disappointment--the breakfasts were merely so-so (pancakes and sausage one day, omelets the next). So, just don't have high expectations for them, and you won't be disappointed! :)

Certainly did not meet the standards I expect from a B&B Association member. Unkept grounds, treacherous walkways and stairways, substandard meals, and rules, rules, rules made my stay at the Applewood completely unsatisfying. The owners misrepresented themselves in their advertising, and I found them to be critical and condescending to their guests in the "upper", less expensive rooms. "Lower cost" guests, apparently, do not have access to all available amenities, while guests in the ground level rooms are favored. The owners should also make clear in their advertising that their facility is NOT smoker-friendly.

It was a lovely facility, well isolated and quiet. However the food was not good. I recommend going to Lexington for breakfast. The room was well appointed and comfortable, but the hosts had too many rules and we never felt welcome as the other guests seemd to be more important. We did pet the dog when they weren't looking! That was forbidden for some odd reason.
