"When I arrived I was led to the Macintosh suite to settle in; each room at Applewood is apple-themed and curated with artwork from Stephen and Robin’s collection, and mine felt like a boutique hotel room with an en-suite bathroom and Jacuzzi tub, a retro Smeg mini fridge, a writing desk, a coffee machine, a private balcony overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains, and—best of all—a king-size Duxiana 6006 bed buried beneath an avalanche of pillows that I’d return to in a heartbeat." - Sophie Dodd Sophie Dodd Sophie Dodd is a writer at Travel + Leisure, where she relies on her 10 years of experience as a journalist and frequent flyer to test and review luggage, apparel, and accessories to help you travel better.
