A Charming Getaway to the Applewood Manor Bed and Breakfast in Castleton, Vermont


When life gets tiring and the chores and obligations of daily living begin to weigh a person down, a quick remedy is to plan a weekend away.


















With a little bit of researching , a sense of adventure, and careful stretching of dollars, two or three days away make a world of difference in attitude, outlook, and spirit!

This summer, my husband and I took a weekend excursion and stayed at the Applewood Manor Bed and Breakfast  in Castleton, Vermont .  This is a fairly rural area near Rutland in central Vermont. 
Our daughter, an Internet whiz, found the Applewood for us while searching online. It turned out to be a top notch find.
Nancy Cameron and Ralph Hirschfeld are the innkeepers. Nancy warmly welcomed us the minute our car pulled into the driveway.

Accommodations in Hannah’s Room were extremely comfortable. The king size canopied bed with soft, luxurious sheets and pillows promoted deep and undisturbed peace.

Below is a light in the ceiling of the second floor hall landing:








The house, itself, the middle part of which was built in the late 1700s, had beautiful and tasteful decor and was spotless.

              





Here are some photos of the sumptuous pool and surrounding area at the Applewood:
















Fresh fruit cup, blueberry pancakes with real maple syrup, eggs Benedict, sausage links, fresh scones and pastries, orange and grapefruit juice, and rich, luscious coffee were some of the offerings available for breakfast.
