Fodor's Expert Review The Philo Apple Farm
18501 Greenwood Rd., California, 95466, USA
Relatives of the family that owns the Boonville Hotel are involved in this farm with three inviting cottages and one guest room set in an organic heirloom apple orchard. It all feels very Provençal—the elegant country linens, the floral paintings adorning the walls, the gardens full of herbs and vegetables outside your door. On some weekends, the cottages are reserved for people attending the highly respected on-site cooking school, but midweek a room is often available. The farm stand sells the orchard's apples and pears from late July to Thanksgiving, plus delectable apricot, plum, raspberry, and other jams, including a superb orange marmalade.
PROS
- contemporary touches in cottages and room
- working farm
- relaxing back-to-nature experience
CONS
- occasionally hot in summer
- few "activities"
- no phones or TVs in rooms (Wi-Fi in common areas)
