After much work and creativity, the \u201cbunk house\u201d was renovated into much more than they had ever dreamed or planned for. Over the last several years, they decided to continue building suites inside of the facility. The idea of a Bed and Breakfast started to arise with all the production being done there.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1569608745800{padding-right: 10% !important;}&#8221;]The James family then decided to introduce Apple Country Retreat to the public.
