    We had a great stay at this property. Plenty of space for our group of 10 and hosts were quick to respond with any questions we had.

    I would never stay at this place again. It smelled musty no matter what we tried to do to get rid of the smell. The deck and chair cushions were filthy. I was told this was the closest place to the “weddings at the Shed” in Amery but it wasn’t. The blinds were broken, the air conditioners were so loud we couldn’t run them and try to sleep. The toilet paper holder fell off the wall when we used it. We were very disappointed and would Hope we would get refunded.

    This was the perfect place to stay when in town for a wedding in the New Richmond area or to enjoy all the Summer activities that are around. We did not have kids with but there was many things for all ages to do. Several places to both gather and entertain or relax and rejuvenate. The hosts were the best and lots of amenities. Best place to stay in the area.

    The property was exactly what we were hoping for, and then some. Very clean and great views. We will probably be staying there again next year.

    Apple river house was very pleasant, easy to find everything, plenty of space for large get togethers. Great access to the Apple river if you are interested in tubing and very close to the cedar lake raceway. Really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.
