History – The Apple Knoll was built in 1830 and first used as a sheep farm. It's a Georgian style timber frame house with views of the West River, shire of Weston, and Mounts Tabor Mansfield and Equinox. In the year built, Merino wool prices spiked to 50 cents a pound and VT experienced the “Great Torrent”, the worst flooding in a century. Over the next 30 years VT saw its first railroad, spread of the abolitionist movement, a booming economy first in agriculture then forestry mining and manufacturing, and outbreak of the Civil War.

Family Vacation
Everyone enjoyed their stay. However, we would like to make a few recommendations. It is an older property which has many eclectic and interesting features. It would be beneficial if the growth around the pool area was cleared away to allow for more sunlight for more warmth and less debris in the pool. We also would recommend a complete banister from the first to second floors to make it more secure for older people to go up and down the stairs. Also would recommend grab bars in all the tubs and showers. We were very happy with all the people we met who were at the house when we visited in advance. Management was very quick to answer any concerns that we had. Another plus is that it is pet friendly. It was a wonderful and unique experience.

Good space that needs updates and a good cleaning.
A group of 12 stayed at the property for a week. We used all eight of the sleeping spaces. The kitchen, outdoor spaces and bathrooms were the best part of the stay. The kitchen allowed us to easily cook large meals. However, it is clear that many updates, (including the screen door, putting screens in all the windows) need fixing. Also, the inn could use a deep cleaning. Tip for future guests that could be staying more then a couple of nights, bring your own paper towels, toilet paper and trash bags. There is not extra at the inn. We were told we'd get reimbursed for the cost, but no reimbursement occurred. For the price we paid we were happy with the week.

Cozy and Charming
We booked this property for a girls' getaway for the weekend! The house was charming with old-style artifacts and unique pieces of art all around. Would have loved to see newer furnishings (sofa, pillows, etc.). Gorgeous views from the property and very close convenient proximity to most all places - restaurants, activities.

Annual Girls Weekend
Our stay in Weston was great. There were 14 of us and everyone had a bed to sleep in and every bedroom has its own bathroom. Kitchen was updated and there was ample space for dining. Outdoor pool and outdoor space. We went in the summer, but I’m sure it would be great in the winter as ski slopes are nearby.

Pure Bliss
This property was incredible based on both the beauty around it and the superb attention the owner showed us while there. The quaint town of Weston just down the road afforded us tons of fun for both kids and adults alike to shop and enjoy some of the local wares such as cheeses, syrups, homemade fudge and souvenirs. The mountain views had us in awe and the pool and river kept the kids occupied for hours on end. The giant lawn lent itself well to all the lawn games we brought and the kitchen was a dream. Thank you Dan, for the wonderful opportunity to stay in your home.

Large, yet comfy house
We had a wonderful stay at the house. Each bedroom had a great, updated bathroom. The kitchen was perfect when cooking for 8 people. The property was loud and not near any other property. Had excellent view. Also Dan, the owner, was very accommodating our big group. He updated the internet for us as 8 people needed to work during our stay. We unfortunately didn't get to experience the town due to COVID but it look adorable. We had a great stay and hope to go back next summer.

Great for large groups; Daniel and team are awesome
We have a reunion every year with old friends and our ever growing families. Typically our group is between 20 and 25 guests. It can be difficult to find a property to comfortably accommodate us and provide a private idyllic setting. The Apple Knoll Inn totally fit the bill. The property is well maintained and all the rooms were very clean. The kitchen was amazing. New and beautiful, but also well stocked with every type of pot, pan, platter, plate, tool, and storage that a group cooking for 20 needs. Another significant highlight for the group was that every room had its own private bathroom stocked with towels, soaps, shampoo, conditioner and lotion. That's a feature we've not found in any of the prior properties we've rented and was so nice! In addition to being pleased with the property itself, we found Daniel and his caretaker Julie to be very responsive and attentive. As questions and concerns did come up, we received immediate responses from Daniel and Julie was at house shortly to take care of our needs. For instance, when we arrived we found there were not enough outdoor chairs for our group and within a hour Julie showed up with 12 more Adirondack chairs for us to use. Or when we realized we didn't have enough towels she stopped by with a huge basket of additional towels. Daniel also sent us several ideas of activities to do with the kids and insight on fun stuff in the area. He was super attentive and it was clear wanted the group to have a great time. Which we did :). Thanks again to Daniel and team for helping to make our reunion a success!
