Apple Blossom Inn is situated in a beautiful orchard, with a view of the Sierra mountains, as described. It was a nice quiet place to rest after long drive and hiking in Yosemite. It is about 30 minutes from the Mariposa entrance to Yosemite. There can be an hour-long wait to get into Yosemite, however.
We were very disappointed at the service and amenities at the Inn. We booked a Bed and Breakfast, expecting a host and a lovely breakfast. The Inn Keeper was absent and all was done via email. There was a huge amount of confusion upon check-in because of this. A family, no fault of their own, had moved into our room. The Inn keeper should be there to greet and show people to their rooms. NO Breakfast prepared! The Inn keeper provided a coffee pot and some sugary instant Kid cereals and oatmeal to self-prepare. There were yogurts in the refrigerator. The Inn Keeper said that this was a Covid precaution, but it was not well publicized and was an unnecessary precaution at this point. No cooking allowed in kitchen-a microwave was allowed.
I would ask questions! I would recommend if you are looking for a quiet respite, but no amenities.
A positive were the outside decks for enjoying a book or a glass of wine. We thoroughly enjoyed the other family in the Inn and enjoyed a night of conversation and refreshments that our group had provided.
