Wonder visit in the orchard!

September 2026

We just had our second stay at the Cottage at Rendleman’s Orchard. We loved it last year and this year was just as great!! The cottage has everything you need and more to ensure a relaxing experience. We watched deer and other wild life while on the porch swing. We purchased delicious apples and apple cider donuts. Enjoyed local wineries - an amazing bourbon bar - great restaurants in close by towns. Everyone we met was so friendly and helpful. We have every intention to visit again next year. Absolutely beautiful landscape in this area. ❤️

Dream Vacation Stay!

June 2026

The Cottage is easily one of the best places I've ever rented! All of the personal touches and extras provided (firewood, eggs from the chicken coop, fishing poles for the pond, and the telescope) make this location a must-stay. My kids absolutely LOVED hanging out with the chickens! I made plenty of cherished memories by teaching my children how to fish, start a fire, and use the telescope to stargaze. Next time we will 100% be renting the golf cart to explore more of the orchard and take advantage of everything this place has to offer. Thank you so much for such an amazing experience! We will be back!

We have family in the area and stayed here for an evening Everything we needed was right there including a pizza in the freezer which was delicious! We enjoyed the fire pit complete with plenty of wood to burn The chickens were so fun to watch!! The farm house is adorable and to be able to snap a picture of the peaches beginning to ripen was so neat !

Sisters Weekend Getaway

October 2025

We had the most wonderful sisters weekend at this cozy cottage on the orchard. It was surrounded by beautiful scenery and we felt right at home from the moment we stepped inside. We enjoyed sitting in the swing on the back porch overlooking the pond and orchard. We even caught ourselves sitting and talking to the chickens in the most adorable coop. We laughed until our stomachs hurt. We loved taking the golf cart to the Market and touring the orchard and looking at all the beautiful land. We also enjoyed visiting the nearby wineries and shoppes. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable getaway.
