The "Little Apple" is absolutely gorgeous! The house is decorated with a beautiful theme of the highlights of Manhattan. The house is so clean. We loved the labels that identified how to work everything, where things are located, and what we needed to know. We would love to stay here again!

We had the best stay at the Happy Little Apple! It was perfect for our group of 8 - 4 adults and 4 kids/teens. The house is absolutely adorable and the thoughtful additions made it even better - we loved all the games, kitchen items, fire pit, and all the little details in the charming decor. The owners thought of everything and were prompt to communicate. We will be back!
