Nestled in the heart of San Luis Obispo County wine country, the delightfully cozy Apple Farm Inn gives wine tourists a charming home base in a fabulous California location. The hospitable hotel offers 104 welcoming guest rooms, each with its own fireplace. The Apple Farm’s guest rooms are as individual as its guests—in fact, they’re located in two separate buildings. One is a classic-style inn and the other is motel-style, offering easy room access. No matter which style guests prefer, they are treated to a haven that is uniquely decorated with appealing touches; some rooms feature canopy beds, intimate seating nooks, and private hot tubs; all are individually decorated with distinctive wallpaper, fabrics, and artwork.
Beyond well-appointed accommodations, Apple Farm Inn provides three acres of beautifully landscaped grounds with intriguing things to see and do, including an old mill with a working gristmill. There’s also a thoroughly engaging two-story gift shop offering an unrivaled assortment of special curiosities, including porcelain, linens, jewelry, and an array of wine-related items. In fact, this is an ideal place to find a unique gift or exceptional wine country memento. There’s even a tempting line of Apple Farm brand gourmet food products to choose from.
With a name like Apple Farm, it’s not surprising that there’s also a legendary restaurant and bakery on the grounds. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it features homemade favorites like corned beef hash, country pot roast, and fresh cornbread with honey butter. Also each evening, Chef Stephen Walls creates an inspired farm-to-table menu from ingredients chosen daily from local farmers. The adjacent bakery is a local favorite, offering fresh fruit pies, tempting breakfast pastries, and flaky apple dumplings daily.
The homey ambience of Apple Farm Inn makes it an ideal spot for reunions, conferences, weddings, and simply letting a couple of days slip by. What’s more, Apple Farm Inn is just minutes away from beaches, golf, museums and, of course, the wine trails of San Luis Obispo County.
