Your Apple-Picking Oasis Is Just a Click Away With These 6 Dreamy Rentals

As the segue between the hottest and coldest season of the year, there's a lot to love about fall. You're (finally) not sweating through your T-shirts, so many delicious veggies are in season, and pumpkin spice is everywhere and in everything. It's also the only time of year when you can head to the countryside, into farm territory, to pick your own apples.

Although apple picking is often regarded as a New England-y thing (it does feel very Gilmore Girls, right?), there are actually apple-picking orchards all over the country. And thanks to homes-as-hotels websites like Airbnb and VRBO, you can turn your day trip into a whole weekend and stay in some pretty nifty spots that are either on or near apple orchards.
