We hosted a weekend event for the women in our extended family and the house was perfect. Since each bedroom has its own bathroom, everyone felt like they had a space of their own. The gathering spaces both upstairs and down fit the group and the full-size window in the dining room is beautiful! We would love to come back sometime when the orchard is in bloom. Hosts easy to work with and quick communication.

Wonderful for large groups

If you need a spot for a getaway for a large group that still wants privacy when they need it, this is it. Secluded, gorgeous views, and every room with it’s own bathroom. In addition, two kitchens and multiple porches. The hosts were very flexible and excellent communicators. Me and group strongly recommend.

Family getaway

The house was amazing with plenty of room for everyone! All my kids (5) were saying we should make this a tradition for years to come. It feels very secluded yet close to Lynchburg. The porch is beautiful and there isn’t another home in sight. We will definitely be going back.

Spring Game

The property was absolutely beautiful!! Our big family visited from FL to see my son at Liberty University for his spring game and this house provided everything we needed. The rooms are spacious and it was nice to have an en-suite for all bedrooms. The property manager Cynthia was amazing! She responded very quickly and was available to answer any questions/concerns we had.

Orchard Paradise

My wife and I and two separate family groups stayed here over an 8 day period. The unanimous view (10 people) was that there could not possibly be a more serene and peaceful setting. There is not a long list of outside activities in the greater Lynchburg area but that didn’t matter. All we wanted to do was sit on the porch, talk, and be soothed by the view. The house is large and clean and everything needed was provided. We will be coming back!

Great location, spacious house

Great location, close proximity to multiple ski resorts, shopping, and grocery stores. We had a nice and relaxing stay at the house. There were seasonings and everyday cooking needs in the kitchen which was great for breakfasts and the couple dinners we cooked. The house is very spacious and we utilized the wood burning fireplace nightly, and some mornings! The hot tub was HOT, and private. The master bedroom suite is huge with a two sided gas fireplace right by the soaking tub! There was plenty of extra linens and towels for our use. The owner was very accommodating and showed us around when we arrived. The “neighborhood” elk were fun to see, and the area is quiet. Great place to stay!

Wonderful stay at the farmhouse

My family and I had a fantastic stay at the farmhouse. Communicating with the hosts from start to finish was easy and we were consistently informed of any pertinent information. The house itself is beautiful. It was clean and stocked with everything one needs to have a great stay. We would absolutely recommend a stay at the orchard and are considering it as a option for future stays in the area.

Cousins Retreat 2022!

We stayed in the apple orchard! My family of 1st cousins get together every year and do a 5 day 4 night trip and this was the house for 2022. This was a very large and spacious house for our crew. The online pictures do not give the same feel as this house was a dream with the different Apple names for each BDR.. We all felt comfortable and the very subtle touches (like the live bouquet of flowers that Welcomed us in the kitchen day 1) were not overlooked. Having all the extra sanitizer (spray, wipes, soaps etc….) was a bonus to see as the world still navigates living with Covid. The house was phenomenal and my family loved the 2 kitchens and extra 1/2 bathrooms. We did come across several wrinkles during our visit but once the property manager were aware of these issues, someone was sent out to resolve them. All and all, staying on the orchard was a winner. Thanks to all that played a part of our experience on the orchard.

Great family gathering

Our whole family met for the long Easter weekend and the Apple Orchard was perfect for our large group. The house is spacious with plenty of seating areas to congregate. We lucked out with beautiful weather, so we spent a lot of time on the outside porches enjoying the sunshine and fresh air. The grounds are wonderful as well…nicely manicured and perfect for all ages. We had several fun Easter egg hunts on both the front and back lawns. Some of us took a long walk around the lake and enjoyed seeing the wildlife. The host was easy to communicate with prior to arrival to answer a few questions I had before we all got there. I recommend this property to anyone looking for a large house with lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. The peaceful, private environment makes it a nice retreat for all!

Family Getaway

THe property was beautiful, away from everything, farm ambiance but no animals. Very large orchard. The house was nice. It did have a few furniture pieces that were ready to collapse. Lots of rooms and bathrooms. The upstairs kitchen is large, but a little awkwardly laid out. Large island. THe downstairs kitchen was significantly smaller. Pool table was an attraction for some. There was a small charcoal grill on the downstairs patio that was not mentioned in the listing..There are a number of historical sites around, but not much activity oriented things to do. There is a Fun Quest and Fun Center in Lynchburg as well as 3 bowling alleys. Plenty of restaurants within 10-15 miles, a few in Rustburg as well. The house is in the middle of an operational orchard (1600 acres according to one person), so there are tractors, pickups and ATVs on the 3/4 mile gravel road leading to the house, but they were not annoying, just need to watch out for them while traveling in and out. Double level deck overlocking the front yard and the lake. The lake is large , but not suitable for swimming.. Don't know about fishing. Beautiful large shade trees around the house. Oaks, Magnolia and Pines. Take games for something to do. Overall, very nice stay.

Beautiful setting

My family and I enjoyed a wonderful visit to the Apple Orchard House! It was a great meeting point for all of us who live in 4 different states. The views are beautiful and there are plenty of spaces to visit. Other than a grocery store run, we never left the house for the 5 days we were there… There were plenty of things to do. The two porches were amazing, however there are a couple of soft spots in the upstairs deck. For four days watched a mother bird take care of her newly hatched babies in a nest on the upstairs porch. We even saw a bear strolling across the front yard and a beaver in the back of the house! Our only suggestion is to provide a few things…placemats to protect the beautiful dining room table upstairs, pot holders/extra towels in the kitchen and extra hand towels/wash clothes in the bathrooms. We also couldn’t find any pillow cases for the extra pillows provided in each room. These were minor inconveniences for a wonderful stay.

Only negatives were a broken dining chair at the table. One person pulled it out and it came apart. There was another chair downstairs that was also broken before we arrived. We set both chairs away from the tables... so no one accidentally tries to sit in them.
