Senior Recital Gathering
This was our second stay at this property: we loved it so much the first time, we came back for another visit! Did not disappoint, better than we remembered! Elizabeth, the owner, very quickly responded when I had a question. We had some elderly relatives with us, and it worked very well for them. Hope to return for a third visit in the future!

Amazing Christmas at the Farm
From the Amazing house to the loving farm animals, there is so much to enjoy! The pool is amazing, as is the game room next to it. The sprawling space of the great room can accommodate pretty much anything you have going on, from large dinners to rambunctious game nights. The beds were all comfortable and we had no issues with appliances are all are newer. Internet and TV were both also great. We will definitely be considering coming back and checking out the farm in the warm months as well!

My Happy Place!
This was our 2nd time staying at the Big House at Apple Blossom Farm and this stay was even more wonderful than the first! The house is so incredibly comfortable and clean, with everything you could possibly need for a family or group getaway. Plenty of space for everyone, and plenty to do for adults, kids, and teens. The pool is phenomenal, the hot tub is luxurious, the scenery is beautifully serene. Meeting and feeding the farm animals is the absolute highlight! They are clearly well cared for, friendly, and gentle. The host and her son are thoroughly accessible, responsive, and helpful, yet give you complete privacy. We have nothing but positives to say about the entire experience and can’t wait to return!

At the risk of incurring a negative rebuttal from this owner
Some things to note when booking:Carpets, although sanitized, were VERY stained everywhere, no odor, but visually unappealing.No cabinet or clean closet space left available to put food away. Home is in need of some basic upkeep and paint.As noted in several reviews 82 degrees for the pool and building heat was chilly, the signage advising that a request COULD be made to raise the temp, was uninviting (at best), describing that a 100.00 fee would be IMMEDIATELY incurred. For the number of times they have had this complaint, perhaps just raise it 2 degrees? House/ hot tub rules were also not phrased in a way that was conducive to promoting a positive guest experience.(very angry in tone) All in all, we had fun, just some feedback as to how our experience was diminished and why I did not give 5 star rating.
