The Appleton retreat was a pleasure to stay at. We are typically in the area annually and were delighted that Sharon shared her family friendly home with us. We hope to be able to stay again in the future. Sharon has obviously worked hard to make this a home away from home. It was so nice to allow our two 3 year old grandsons time to enjoy running in the yard, playing on the swing, collecting branches for the fire pit and of course the daily train whistle’s. Thank you for a comfortable and relaxing stay (as relaxing as a stay with 2 toddlers can be ).
The house was very very well equipped. Better than many we have stayed (ex. I brought my own crockpot…didn’t need it because there was one available). Everything was super clean and comfortable. Great beds and bedding and the layout and being all on one level was perfect for my mother who has walking difficulties. We were there to celebrate my mom’s birthday and it was the perfect weekend all around. Thank you Sharon for sharing your lively home with us. We will most definitely be back!!
Great stay at a beautiful property just minutes from Fair Hill!
We had such a great time at Sharon's property! A few friends and I stayed for a horse show at Fair Hill, and the proximity and comfort of this house is unbeatable! We're hoping to come back soon :)

Big thank you to Nathan and his family. They were excellent guests. They followed house rules and the house neat and clean. I would welcome them back anytime.
This is our fifth stay at Appleton retreat. This is our go to place to come to when we have our annual event in the area. We stayed for two days and enjoyed having the comforts of home. The kitchen had everything we needed, and I even took advantage of grabbing some warm apple cider donuts at Millburn farmers market down the street. The location is very convenient to everything. Communications with the host was super responsive and the house is clean. Look forward to our next stay!
We could not have asked for a better place to stay while visiting our grandchildren. The house gave us plenty of room to enjoy the grands and make many memories..so much better than a hotel! The house had all the comforts of home and is beautifully decorated. Highly recommend if you are looking for a place to stay in the area.
A great home away from home! Clean, comfortable with all the amenities needed.
The owner, Sharon was so easy to work with, as it was our first VRBO experience. We look forward to future stays here.
My family had a wonderful stay here! Very clean, well equipped, and plenty of space for everyone! I really appreciated the beds being so comfortable and also having blackout curtains- which helped us all sleep really well! Location is easy to get to. Will be back!!

Bracken and his family were wonderful guests. They followed all house rules and kept the house very neat. I would welcome then back anytime.
Sharon is extremely responsive and our stay at Appleton. Retreat was awesome as usual. It’s like our home away from home. Enjoyed being able to hit blackberry and blueberry picking close by. Can’t wait to return!
In Elkton for the horse trials at Fair Hill. Super cute, well appointed home, very close (like 6 minutes) from the barns. Would absolutely stay here again in the future!
Property was clean, well stocked, comfortable beds, plenty of linens and pillows. Had our two grandchildren with us for my wife's family reunion in Elkton. Much better than any hotel. Highly recommend.
Appleton Retreat was the perfect place to reconnect with family!
The location was ideal and the house was perfect for 6 adults. The home is beautifully decorated and provided a much needed retreat. Loved the firepit and trail walk to the creek. perfect communication, check-in, and impeccably clean. Excellent stay.
