“Very frilly, girliy B&B, great for the Hobby Lobby entusist.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2011

I have to admit I did not care for the place, the service was fine; family run place. The beds we so soft and bouncy that we feared being launched into the air, there are allot of Hobby Lobby type decoration in the rooms, and a group of middle aged ladies seemed to be having a great time. We did not stay for breakfast, but the snacks were all the quick heat chocolate filled type that you might get from a costco. So, if you like those things they are available in abundance from nice people. If you are the more scholarly, earth conscious, healthy-food type I would say give this place (and Big Bear for that matter) a miss. More like Disneyland than a natural retreat, but if you like that sort of thing you will love it.

Room Tip: Traffic stops at about ten pm, so any room will do, but there is traffic noise all day.

“Home Away from Home”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2011

This place is the best... We have been coming to Apples for about 13 years and we feel like we are "home" every time we stay. Jim and Barbara are the perfect host/hostess and this is hard work for them and they never let on that they tire of it. From the afternoon hors deuvres and treats and cider, to the late night homemade cookies and treats, to the bountiful homemade breakfasts, this couple is constantly working to make your stay worthwhile and pleasant. The rooms are a bit old-fashioned, but somehow it fits with the family atmosphere. We enjoy playing games, sitting in the hottub, and venturing out to the fun and shopping in Big Bear.

Room Tip: I prefer the backside rooms where it is a bit more quite.

“Gluten Free Goddess!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I arrived to Apples for my May scrapbooking trip and wooops...I forgot to call ahead and let Barbara know I have Celiac disease and cannot eat any Gluten products. Im also allergic to cinnamon (can you imagine at a place called Apples?)!!! No problem for the hostess of the year. Barbara set out gluten free crackers with the cheese plates, made me gluten free peanut butter cookies (most wonderful treat I have ever had), and prepared gluten free brownies just for me. This was in addition to preparing two breakfasts, a lunch, and a dinner all gluten free just for me. Thank you so much Barbara :) Eating away from home can be very stressful for me and instead of having to go buy special food for the weekend for myself you made my weekend heavenly. You are the best!!!

“APPLES GETS STRAIGHT "AAAAAAAA's"!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2011

It has been my pleasure to stay at Apples twice a year with a Scrapbook group. Barbara and Jim are the perfect hosts. The food is delicious ... the accommodations are divine. I look forward to my bi-annual visits with great enthusiasm! The staff is attentive to the guests' needs. The rooms are clean and everything is well-maintained. I highly recommend Apples Bed & Breakfast to anyone! It's a great place ... you won't be disappointed!
