The Apothecary Inn is nestled in the beautiful Applegate Valley, in the heart of wine & paragliding country! It is located directly next door to Valley View Vineyard. At the inn, you will find elegant suites, hearty breakfasts, and the joys of animals all around you. It is a working mini-ranch, and the innkeepers are breeders of registered nigerian dwarf dairy goats & miniature donkeys. Each morning at 8:00 am sharp the innkeepers will provide a healthy (and hearty!) home-cooked breakfast containing ingredients from their very own dairy farm & garden, as well as eggs from their flock of chickens. The Apothecary Inn is a unique experience, and shouldn’t be missed!!

Apothecary Inn is centrally located only 15 miles from Applegate Lake, and 9 miles from downtown Jacksonville. Spend a day shopping in town, or go explore the hiking trails and excellent fishing of the lake! For paragliders, Woodrat Mountain is mere minutes away!

The Apothecary Inn consists of two guest bedrooms - the "Apothecary Suite" & the "Duchesse de Portland Room.” Each room has its own private bathroom stocked with a sampling of the inn's line of all-natural homemade soaps, bath oils, hair & body products, etc. This is just another way that the innkeepers strive to make your stay a unique and enjoyable experience! There is also an 800+ book library open for guest use!

The Apothecary Inn is proud to showcase a respectable art collection! The inn is decorated with over 40 original oil paintings, as well as several watercolors and sketches. The inn's newest acquisition (shown at the top of the page) - a painting by Y.W. Leung measuring roughly 7 feet long by 3 feet tall - is proudly displayed in the living room. It depicts Chinese Junks (or sailboats) at sea.

Most of the furnishings at the Apothecary Inn are antiques*, giving it an appeal quite uncommon in comparison to other bed and breakfast facilities. The Apothecary Inn is the perfect getaway for antique collectors and enthusiasts. The owners collect antiques as a side hobby, and most of their items are on display at the Inn. Be sure and ask them about their bottle collection!
