We loved visiting Applewood. We did both the gardens tour as well as the house tour. The gardens tour is everyday at noon and does not require a reservation. We really loved our personalized tour with Becky and I think the other girls name was Wendy but I’m not sure. They are very passionate about where they work at.Tracy gave us a great tour of the inside of the house and he was very passionate and informative.

It is the most beautiful garden in my city in Flint, MI. During the season, I go to Applewood State, to follow the gardens flowering and to enjoy the beauty of the place.

Love Applewood Estates! The grounds are AMAZING and the different seasons are just GORGEOUS! Perfect for homecoming/prom pictures or just family photos! My grandchildren enjoy running around too. I know Ill be back there again!

Absolutely love this place. Beautiful grounds!! Great place to take pictures. Would recommend to at least go see once while in Flint. Take the tour of the house.

This is a hidden Gem of Genesee County. Beautiful gardens, interesting local history, and a mansion to explore all for FREE. The dedicated staff was wonderful at making my familys visit a positive one.Helpful tip - call or visit the website ahead of your visit to reserve the free tickets for the mansion tour.

An interesting place to visit. Make sure to sign up for a tour of the house online before you go!

I love visiting Applewood. Its beautiful in the fall, summer, and spring. Make sure to take a tour of the house!

Great family outing! Will visit again.

Wow. Just wow. The house... the grounds... If you havent been able to see Applewood Estate yet, and you enjoy historic houses (spoiler alert: theres a two lane bowling alley in the basement) as well as enjoying beautiful grounds and gardens, this place is well worth your time.

Staff very friendly, beautiful home and grounds. Call for reservations for the house tour.

Pros: Absolutely beautiful. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Free to visit.Cons: Does not allow professional photography for portraits.Would I visit again? YESWould I recommend? Absolutely

Most beautiful place in flint

Open historical land The Mansion of the Mott family... beautiful flowers barn animals on certain days games are offered. You can also schedule to tour of the inside of the house. Its an all around fun place.

Great place for visiting

Great place, we went for their fall festival. Down side is they didnt have a store to purchase all the great stuff we tasted. Beautiful and clean!

Beautiful place hidden in the Flint community full of history and good people

Very nice people. Great attraction for families and kids to visit, especially in the fall time. We loved the kids story time. Will be coming back.

Beautiful estate. It was raining, so I didnt take pictures, but I want to go back. A visitor recommended that I see the upstairs and basement when I tour the house. The flowers and grounds are amazing!

First time Ive been there and it was beautiful! The house was under construction to keep it stored in its current marvelous state, so house viewing isnt possible until October. Taking my kids back again next weekend, and Ill be going to view the house when next possible. Beautiful flowers, trees, buildings and more, I recommend!

Had lots of fun, lots of stuff to do this year!!

Fascinating amazing place with a wonderful guide. She was absolutely amazing and I would have given it five. Cars if it hadnt been under renovation at the foundation. Very amazing and interesting history.

Was a last minute outting with the family. But definitely will go back. Amazing scenery. Friendly people. Must go back to just have more time to look and listen and take tours.

Beautiful place! We go with out little one for story time every week during the summer. Its free and enjoyable!

What a beautiful place! The volunteers are very helpful & the atmosphere takes you back to days long ago.

Lots of things to do and educational. Beautiful gardens. A free family event.

Hidden jewel in Flint. Must see beautiful location, grounds and house.

We went to the Halloween event. There was a story teller, treat stations, and crafts that kids can do. Its a safe place to take the kids for an halloween event. If you wanted to go just for candy this wasnt the place for that. I think my kids only got a few pieces.

Love the walk through the beautiful property, and especially enjoyed the new Main House Tour.

Very beautiful home and grounds. Kind staff. Memorable time.

The most beautiful place to visit in Flint... hands down!

A rare southeast Michigan gem. Beautiful grounds and gardens surround a most charming early 20th century English style Manor. Great Corp of volunteers, friendly and knowledgeable.

Perfect little slice of heaven. Peaceful and just very beautiful

Very Beautiful we learned things we never knew about The Mott Family

Very beautiful grounds to study at, learn the area, or take photos. I enjoyed learning about the grounds and the person who owned the property. Right at the beginning, a staff member gives you a map of the area to navigate your way through. However, some rooms in the house (upstairs) are not even period correct and are modern office spaces. I suggest moving the office spaces someplace else on the property or even in the Flint area. Also, I think this place should also have a store so that people coming to the area can purchase jams, foods, and items. They can bring home something special from the grounds to enjoy.

Gorgeous place. I could spend a long time just exploring this estate

Sang Christmas carols with International Academy of Flint Unity Choir during the Holiday Walk .. amazed at the number of people that visited the decorative estates on a cold evening in December. It was a wonderful experience. Looking forward to participating next Christmas season.

This was my first time on the property. It was absolutely beautiful. The tulips were in full bloom. It was still to early in the year for all of the gardens to be in bloom yet. The grounds were so clean. The volunteers were all so curtious and knowledgeable. My family and I took a tour of the inside of the home. Ive lived in Flint all of my life and never realised how special Applewood would be for me. CS Mott was one of the starting founders of what made Flint great. To look back to the early 1900s until now. The Mott family had wonderful values that still continue to give back to the community to this day through the Mott Foundation.I would recommend anyone to go for a visit and see for yourself. They say the best time to see everything in bloom is in mid July.I dont think that the house tour is wheelchair accessible. Call ahead to verify any information needed.This is a great piece of Flints preserved history!

Beautiful gardens. The harvest festival is fun to see.

History that is still alive. A piece of Historical Flint still here.

Loved everything about this gorgeous estate. Do yourself a favor and book a tour in advance. Be sure to pick a beautiful day and leave time to stroll the grounds. The rose garden is quite impressive, and croquet and badminton are fun for the family. Ask the tour guide where the children liked to play hide and seek!

Always wonderful and peaceful! Beautiful gardens and cool historic buildings.

The legacy orchard,gardens and grounds are well cared for. Great place to visit and appreciate.

What a surprise. Just beautiful and the staff were incredibly friendly and informative.

I visit this place quite a lot to take pictures of their beautiful flowers and see all the historical things around and would say everyone should visit applewood (P.S. here is a side story awhile back at the guest house some lady was killed and my grandma knew the killer but didnt know he was a killer)

It was amazing!...my son an I took beautiful pictures by all of the amazing photographersVery beautiful place to take walks an relax

Love love love taking my family here we go two to three times of year let go during the holiday walk we go during the summer and we go during the fall Love The Cider love that apples love walking around in the gardens the smells the aromaz the staff is great willing to answer any question that a five-year-old child can ask in one breath love the fact that most of their activities are free its a really family-friendly place.

Fun, if a little chilly for May. We came wanting to do a strolling tour and were told they only do them over special events, so a little disappointed but by no means upset- its still a beautiful place!

Apple fest is a fun time with family and friends tasting Apple cider, cider donuts, fresh apple tasting, tours of estate and grounds, childrens activities, farm animals, beautiful gardens, Crafters and sculptures

A beautiful place and the volunteers/staff are super nice and gave a wonderful tour

I volunteered there loved it

Never fails to make me feel peaceful and relaxed

Very beautiful hidden gem in Flint.

Great find. We got a tour of the Mott house from a wonderful tour guide who actually worked for the Motts for many years. The tour was very informative, and the house is magnificent. The grounds are well-kept and every worker was very helpful.

I love going to Applewood Estates. Its always so pleasant walking through the flower gardens. I especially love the rose garden. I always see something different when I go. The tour of the house is fascinating and all of the different activities are very enjoyable as is the entertainment.Im going to miss it during the winter season.

Applewood is always such a beautiful place to visit. I love the atmosphere and all that they do for the community. Their special events are always a fun time for the family and it is great how it is always free to come and visit.

Perfect day at Applewood--sunny skies and gentle breezes. Free samples of canned peaches from last years harvest at the visitor services desk :-)

The tours are popular and seem to book up quickly, especially in summer, so check their website before arriving if you want to tour the home. Our tour guide was a little too we are the earth and the earth is us for my taste, but was also incredibly kind, informative and inclusive. The eastate and tour have so much to offer. The gardens are spectacular and the home is really stunning, too. We toured with all ages (7-70) and all were interested and came away with new knowledge. A very very pleasant way to spend a Saturday morning!

A beautiful respite from the normal, a must experience

Beautiful gardens and grounds.

Beautiful gardens, did not go into house.

Beautiful estate that takes your breath away.

The nighttime holiday stroll with hot cider, cookies, ice sculptures, Christmas lights, and singing was wonderful. Thank you! My four year old granddaughter loved it!

It was an amazing experience the architecture and history was unbelievable recommend going it’s a great experience

Very good place to go for ALL ages. A great piece of Flint Michigans history.

The tour was amazing! The tour guide Kitty was fun and informative! I cant wait to go back again

Stunning beauty everywhere you look.

Excellent history, well run, and maintained

A true gem nestled in Flint..but the rose garden, which is usually my favorite section, has been attacked by the in invasive Japanese beetles, killing them.

We love it here!

When they open to the public it is always a fun event. Lots to learn about the Mott family and the grounds are gorgeous. Its fun to visit in Autumn when the harvest is displayed out in the garden. In the Summer the garden is beautiful.

Family tradition to attend the fall harvest at applewood.

A local hidden treasure. Lived in Flint for a year and the surrounding area for 5 years before i visited. I am astounded by the beauty of the garden. An oasis in the middle of this industrial city. I am saddened only by the fact that i did not discover this place sooner. And it was FREE Sunday when we went.

One of the most beautiful least known of places in Flint. Beauty, history

Went there for the holiday walk. The place is beautiful.

A great place to just relax and bond with nature and history. Its one of Flints best kept secrets! The gardens are amazing and so is the house!

Such a wonderful place to walk with kids. The estate and gardens are beautiful!

I love to come here with my family.

The beautiful care is taken to preserve some of our states history

Very nice place to visit
