Apple Creek holds a special charm in each of the four seasons, but for most, the chill of winter holds a particular magic. And no weekend in Phillips Bay is complete without a stay at the Apple Creek Inn, a quaint bed-and-breakfast along the Old Stage Road.

During the winter, Apple Creek Inn offers many diversions for its guests, but the favorite adventure is the sleigh ride. Nestled under a warm blanket, you glide over hill and dale, the clean, fresh, exhilaration air envelops you as the horse's bells cutting through the silence of a snow-covered landscape. Once your ride has come to an end, you can spend your evening relaxing by the warm glow of the fireplace. To accompany your hot mug of Apple Creek's famous cider are the tranquil melodies the string quartet. - WSP
