Apple Blossom Inn

5 stars across the board! So cozy and there was beautiful nature to walk around in. Our innkeeper Candy was amazing, so fun to talk with. Will definitely be back!

We were welcomed very warmly by Candy on arrival. Apple Blossom Inn is charming! Candy and her husband have worked very hard to make a stay here so relaxing. Our room was immaculate, and so comfortable. Candy made breakfast - homemade apple blossom pancakes, and banana nut waffles, with fresh fruits. The gardens are beautiful, with a hot tub, and a lovely terrace to.relax on, under the stars. We would love to stay here again, and cannot recommend Apple Blossom Inn highly enough Thank you so much, Candy!

This place was very heartwarming and clean, surrounded by nature. We even saw a deer when we first drove into the driveway. The decor was very artistic and Candy was a wonderful hostess, enjoyed her apple blossom pancakes especially.

Loved the BNB! Yummy breakfast! Personable host. Spacious place. Feels like airbnb, but with a host to cook breakfast. Hidden gem near yosemite south entrance. Lots of other hiking trails nearby in Oakhurst and Bass Lake.

Excellent host and delicious pancakes for breakfast. Very comfortable sleep. Enjoyed sitting outdoors with mountain views and watching the humming birds buzz around. Check out the Hitching post for dinner and a few drinks

We appreciated the kindness of candy. Home made breakfast was amazing. Hummingbirds feeding next to the door was an awesome moment . We really enjoyed our stay.

Had a great stay! Really only downside is just knowing you have a long commute into all the main Yosemite attractions, so just research before going to make sure you're comfortable with the drive! Candy was fantastic and very responsive. Power went out briefly during our stay and for some reason the generator didn't fully connect with the house power. Called Candy and five minutes later she was there and troubleshooting, and a few minutes later power was back on.Breakfast was great as well. Two mornings we were able to be there for hot breakfast and had big bowl of fruit (the good stuff too - lots of berries and cantaloupe), and one morning banana walnut waffles, and apple blossom pancakes the other morning - both delicious (though I think my favorite was the waffles!). One morning it was even just us, so it was like having a private chef!On mornings we weren't around for traditional hot breakfast, we were still really happy to have fresh fruit (apples, oranges, bananas), yogurt cups (yoplait), and individual oatmeal and cream of wheat microwave cups. There was also little individual cereal boxes and milk.Tea and coffee were available as well, plus little candies that were great after a long hike. An extensive VHS collection with players in room, plus board games, though we didn't end up having time for those.Also really appreciated having some fridge access and made extensive use of the microwave for quick meals!

This is a comfy and well maintained B&B Inn.  Owner Candy puts in lots of efforts and makes sure all guests feel at home, and it indeed is a very relaxed place after a day's venture at the Yosemite park.  The breakfast is fantastic, don't miss it!  Thank you Candy and we will be back!

The location of the property is awesome! Candy, the owner’s hospitality is mind blowing! She knows how to keep balance between privacy and engaging her guests! Our 4 nights stay in her property was amazing! I loved the breakfast and she made me PERFECT over-medium fried eggs! We will definitely go back again! Highly recommended B&B in Ahwahnee, CA. Thank you Candy!

AMAZING!

Not easy to find, tucked away in between all the other accomodations in the area, we had the luck to stumble across Apple blossom inn. Not only was it the sweetest little B&B I've ever seen, it is also located in convenient distance to the Yosemite Ntl. Park (1 h drive to Glacier point, 35 minutes to the Wawona hiking area). 
The second B in B&B should not be forgotten: Candy the hostess is a very sweet person who is also a great cook. Her homemade waffles taste so great and give you plenty of Energy for the upcoming hiking day!!
If you ever come near this area you should look for the Apple blossom Inn. Sure, you could stay at a chain motel for less but you'd be missing an experience!!

A real gem!!

Our stay July 2023 was excellent. Candy was an outstanding hostess and the breakfasts were out of this world especially her signature apple blossom pancakes (although the banana walnut waffles were fantastic too)! Property was very clean and extremely comfortable. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

This has been our favourite accommodation so far after two weeks on the road from Canada. Loved the relaxing hot tub and beautiful view from the hot tub and deck. The room and beds were comfy. The living room area is relaxing. The breakfast was awesome. The owners are lovely. I would go back there for sure! Accessible to Yosemite too.

Staying at Apple Blossom Inn is always a pleasant getaway! We have been coming to the Inn since about 2008 while visiting Yosemite or just to get out of the city for a few days and enjoy the peaceful mountain setting. Candy always goes out of her way to accommodate our needs and is a goldmine of helpful info about restaurants and attractions in Yosemite and the surrounding towns. 
While a bummer that Covid restrictions were preventing Candy from making hot breakfast for a while, there was always a plethora of continental breakfast options and snacks provided and I'm happy to report that breakfasts are back, baby! Our latest visit had us once again awakening to the smell of apple pancakes and fresh coffee. I, for one, am not a morning person but Candy's vibe is always cheerful without being too much first thing in the morning. Enjoying breakfast and soaking in the morning sun and the view from the patio is always a favored leisure activity and a great way to start the day. 
The patio is just as good at night as well! There's plenty of seating for stargazing with a beverage and the hot tub is always clean and hot! Whether we have gone hiking or just sat around reading all day, a soak is always a great way to wind down. 
During cooler weather, the fire in the common area wood stove creates a cozy mountain cabin ambience that is perfect for reading, watching one of the available movies, playing a game, etc.
The room we usually stay in is spacious and has a nice little balcony. The bed is comfy and the linens are neat and clean. The bathrooms are also always clean, stocked, and in good working order. What more can you ask for?
All in all, Apple Blossom Inn provides great accommodations at a good value and we can't wait until our next visit!  

Quaint & Cozy Gem of a B&B Keeps Us Coming Back!

My first comment about the Apple Blossom is that Candy was very welcoming and helpful during my husband’s initial phone contact before we made our reservation and when I emailed her about the amenities at the Inn, she got back with me quickly with complete information. This is always a good sign. We like and appreciate when we can reach out to the owner of the property prior to our stay. She indicated during that conversation that if we got up early to go into the park that she would have breakfast items available to us if we couldn’t be there for her normal for breakfast that is served at 8:30 AM. 
The bed and breakfast is tucked away a little off Highway 41 and at night is a little tricky to find until you establish a landmark. We took the scenic route, 49, to the Inn on our arrival day and unfortunately ran a little bit late due to treacherous mountain roads, but we gave Candy an hour notice that we would not be there by 7 PM and she simply asked that we call when we arrived. We were there by 7:15 and she was at the building and came out to greet us as soon as we arrived. We appreciated the personal touch she gave to her guests. She showed us around the Inn and handed us the keys to our room upstairs as well as showed us our private bathroom across the hall. I will say that I did not understand initially that the bathroom would be across the hall but having stayed at bed and breakfasts before where we had a shared bathroom, I was still happy to have our own space. She has nice bath robes in the closet of each room so if you need to travel back-and-forth it’s easy to slip on a robe and not be concerned if you bump into the other guests staying upstairs in the second bedroom. Both the bedroom and bathroom were clean when we arrived. I tend to be very particular about neatness and having items in my accommodations that are fairly new and updated but I would say the apple blossom has more of a 1980s feel but that is not necessarily a bad thing.  Candy opened the Inn about 15 yrs ago and has run it pretty much on her own.  One of the days during our stay there was a power outage that affected the entire county, all the way up to the fancy lodges in Yosemite.  I believe her guests were all out and about so no one was inconvenienced, but she was very concerned about getting her rooms turned around for her new check-ins and the fact that guests would not have a/c or water if they returned before power was restored.
On those subjects, water pressure is a bit low and shower heads a bit low and the tub does not drain quickly as stated in other reviews but did not find it a big issue.  The air was comfortable in the building but at night you would want to close and lock your bedroom door so there is the option of leaving a small window open with use of ceiling fan or use the room a/c but it was very loud.  The one night I turned it on I literally could not get to sleep due to the noise, although my spouse was already asleep and it did not wake him.  Newer, quieter units might be my suggestion or better ventilation into the rooms from house unit. 
My biggest disappointment was I would like to have sat on the quiet balcony outside our upstair room but it was full of leaves, white chairs were dirty and had spider webs.  My suggestion would be to keep up that space for guests who want to sip a glass of wine out there under the stars.  Also I would have liked a more comfortable upholstered chair to sit in in the room as ours had a wooden swivel chair that seemed a bit unsafe as I tripped over the leg. But the room was clean and nice.  Bed comfortable.  
I will say that the first morning we came downstairs, Candy immediately asked if there was anything we needed. 
Candy was very diligent to get breakfast started and finished on time and had it displayed on an easy serve-yourself table inside the kitchen. She had coffee going and juice options as well as tea and hot chocolate options.  We had a broccoli and cheese  quiche which she said she got from a local baker. On the other mornings we got freshly made pancakes and French toast along with a bowl of wonderful fresh fruit of which included blackberries that they pick there on the property. We were slightly disappointed not to get apples from her apple trees on the property but she explained the situation with deer getting to her apple trees. She has beehives also on the property and has been known to serve some of her honey but I did not see any while we were there and then reading prior reviews I see she used to include bacon or sausage with breakfast and we had no meat while we were there but I won’t say that that’s a necessity for me. She did have yogurt and granola out which was a somewhat healthier option although maybe a plain Greek yogurt would be a better option is not so much sugar for those of us that try to avoid it. After breakfast is served, she immediately cleans up the kitchen and leaves her guest in private but there’s always morning conversation in the kitchen with either Candy herself or the other guests. We made friends from both Texas and California while there and met some other guests that were staying from Florida like us. We were able to chat and find common interests and also get advice about what to do in the area or simply what other fun activities the other guess were doing during their stay. I did not speak with anyone who was in anyway unhappy about the accommodations and one of the couples had been there several times over the years as they have family in the area. Because the mornings are fairly comfortable this time of year, instead of serving people inside the living room area we had breakfast out on the deck near the hot tub.
We did see the hot tub, while on that subject and mention from the other couple that I believe they used it but it was kept covered and I do not recall candy offering use of the hot tub to us directly or any instruction on how to use it. 
Many people traveling to the inn might be surprised to find out that the TVs at the inn are only for use with VHS movies. Frankly, we did not have time to watch TV as we were out and about enjoying Yosemite so it really did not affect us and there is Wi-Fi there so my suggestion would be have your smart phone or tablet available as you can watch TV on those devices as an alternative.
Candy does supply games and one family had a game of Monopoly going and admitted that that was the first time they’ve had sat down to a board game in a long time and they spend at least two nights playing it in the downstairs living area. So not having a television probably brings families together and what could be bad about that?  
If you are the type that likes a hotel room that comes with all the modern amenities then I would say an Inn like this is probably not for you ...  but if you like a nice wholesome surrounding (home away from hime feel) and other people to meet and get to know, then this is the perfect spot for you. You definitely get a personal touch here and after you stay here you realize the hard work and commitment the owner has to her inn and guests.  Any bad reviews seen on the Inn  were likely due to misunderstandings or language issues as we discovered there are many many foreigners that visit that area at this time of the year and it’s understandable just see how there could be a lack of communication or miscommunication. I guarantee if you have any issue once you arrive, Candy will do her best to accommodate you.  We enjoyed our stay and I would likely stay again if we go back to that area. I First thought that the rooms were pricier than what we have experienced in the past but then it is California and typically prices are higher there then other parts of the country. Overall, I think anyone staying here would be pleased.  

Vacation in Yosemite/Apple Blossom

This is a beautiful corner of California, close to Yosemite Valley (~1hr).The property needs some TLC, at least the suite we had. The beds that were advertised as "double" are full-size, not queen, so we were tight. When we came back after the first day out, the beds were not made (is it OK in a B&B? I thought it was not OK, not for the price, anyway). Other than that service was Ok.

About 1 hour from Yosemite Valley

This is a lovely location and home, and the owner is very helpful and accommodating.  Our bed was comfortable, and we were able to get a very early breakfast (granola, yogurt, coffee, etc.) so that we could drive to Yosemite park early enough to get parking. The location is quiet, and in the mornings we heard quail and woodpeckers.  We enjoyed the hot tub in the evening as well--it's got a great view!  There are good restaurants in nearby Oakhurst, and a visit to Mariposa Coffee down the road is highly recommended for excellent beans.
My only advice would be to understand that it is a bit of a hike to the park: it takes at least 30 minutes to get to the entrance by Mariposa Grove, and then if you drive to Yosemite Valley from there, it's another hour or so--get there early (8 a.m.) to get a parking spot!
