  • Inn Details

    Minutes from Lexington, yet in another world, with only woods, hillside pastures filled with llamas, and mountain views greeting the eyes.The drive from Rte. 11 to Applewood is only 1 1/2 m. but on that drive you will wind along the scenic Buffalo Creek, enter Donald's Hollow, pass a horse farm, then enter the inn's lower meadow which follows a babbling brook. The passive solar construction provides huge enclosed porches from which to observe this piece of heaven. Most rooms have gas log fireplaces and either hot-tub or jacuzzi tub. Lavish full breakfast. Special diets accommodated. Llama trekking available on site.

    We had such a wonderful time here last year, that we had to come back and invited another couple along with us this time. Everyone had a great time and we found plenty to do including a llama treck - even in an "off season". Our hosts, Linda and Chris, were a gracious as ever and the Inn offers many reasons to get away from it all and go there. We thoroughly enjoy the Inn and our hosts, the locale, and the relaxation afforded us when visiting Applewood and the Lexington area.

    My name is Kimberly John and I stayed at the Applewood Inn and it was truly the best experience I have had. The hospitality was genuine and amazing and they are the most thoughtful and considerate couple. While I stayed in the room most of the time it had everything myself and my companion needed. It was very clean, the food was fabulous, the hot tub was amazing and the view was breath taking. I would reccommend this to anyone to stay!

    This was the second time we've stayed here and it was wonderful, as always. Our hosts were gracious and welcoming, but conscious of our need for privacy and peace (since we finally got respite from our two rambunctious children ). The fireplace came in handy as did the hottub since we were there in early January. It was, however, warm enough for a llama trek one morning, which was fun! Believe it or not, "Spunky" the llama was pretty easy-going! My wife and I love it here and hope to return soon.

    We will be BACK!!
