Apple Farm

Apple Farm

10/10 Excellent
"We've stayed here many times over the past 25 years. The hotel is still so quaint and cozy but the condition is not as immaculate as it was in past years. Furnishings, paint, etc. could use some sprucing up. Amenities previously offered are no longer and we miss the old gift shop. We still enjoyed our stay and the Christmas decorations."
