Best Country House Flint Near Me

Terri Lowe: What a Great day my friend and I had at Apple wood! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. We did the flower tour first, then we went in and did the house. You can't take pictures inside I have no problem with that cuz you can see more. The house is gorgeous! Ladies if you're looking for something for your kids to do you can pack a picnic lunch take a blanket and sit in the gardens while you eat. I highly recommend

Tricia O'Connell: What a fantastic gem right in the middle of the city. Beautiful, restful place to relax and enjoy the perfectly maintained gardens, walking paths and amazing trees! I'd love to know how many different kinds of trees are on the Estate. Looking forward to touring the house when it opens again after COVID. This is my new favorite place! So glad it is being preserved for everyone to enjoy and learn from.Absolutely, use any part of my review you would like. I want everyone to know about Applewood Estate.

Jeff Stancroff: This is a great destination if your in the Flint area. The grounds are amazing, the home tour is very interesting and if you take the home tour or talk to the volunteers you will learn just how big a part the Mott's played in Genesee County and its also free!

Michelle Plunkett: beautiful grounds to explore. Spending time at the estate allows one to shake off the stresses of today while taking a step back in time. If you're looking for a little relaxation time. This is a good choice

Cindy Warber: This place is best to visit in the summer, so you can see all the blooming gardens. However, you can only see the most beautifull sugar maple tree in the fall. This is one big tree.

Dann Vessell: A beautiful home and estate. Nice place to go see if you're in the Flint area.

Kevin Chatfield: Always a lovely time

Lauren Cox: Always a great community event

samantha dubay: Only open on Sundays 1-4 (when we went in Oct anyhow) The volunteers were very informative and chipper. It was FREE to go into the first floor only. No photos allowed inside. Walking the gardens was nice too. Near the longway planetarium so you can park there and walk up. Mr. Mott was one of the co founders of General Motors.

Sharon House: Applewood is beautiful!! The grounds are gorgeous. I was only there for awhile and didn't get to see it all. I am definitely going back!!

Mitch: Applewood Estates is a beautiful little gem tucked away in the heart of Flint. Contributions of their resources produced by only a handful of employees and some wonderful volunteers go straight to homes and shelters within the city.But the gardens are the real prize for visitors free viewing pleasure. Stunning landscapes with apple orchards, rose gardens, herb gardens and so much more.A great way to spend a couple hours with family or on your own.

Blerdwords: Beautiful place

Somaia Razzak: I have been to story time with my baby on Fridays and we attended the harvest festival. The place is gorgeous and the staff/ volunteers are so friendly and welcoming. Lots of cute activities, performances, and tasting stations for kids. Totally recommend.

Dan Edinger: Lovely grounds, staff and hospitality. It was our first visit, but definitely won't be our last.

Matthew Charles: Loved the Fall harvest dayToday October 1st , 2022Great timeThank you all at Apple wood,And C.S. Mott

BullOnWallSt: Always a pleasure being here.

Sue Tvardos: Beautiful gardens fountain nicely preserved history of the Mott family.

Robert Howard: Great place to visit. The Home of C.S. and Ruth Mott. Lots of flowers and apple trees.

Annie Lang: Applewood Estate was the ideal destination to casually enjoy the spectacular gardens and beautiful estate vistas this historic site offers to the public for free. Applewood is a hidden gem located in the cultural district of Flint, Michigan and has been meticulously preserved and maintained by the Ruth Mott Foundation as a tribute to the legacy of Charles Stewart Mott and his many contributions to the Flint Community. The Applewood staff was very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable when it came to identifying the more unusual botanicals on display. Though it only takes a few hours to tour the gardens, it's time well spent as you leisurely tour the apple orchard, numerous flowering gardens, visitor's center and historic brick barn, gatehouse, and chicken coop.

Sally Luke: We like to go on Fridays to Story Time. They read a book to the kids and they give the kids the same book to take home. They always have little activities to do after they read the story.After the story and activities we walk the grounds and check out all the flowers and find a shady spot for a picnic lunch or a snack.They do a taste of Applewood where you can try a product that has been grown on the estate .
