Yes, it's yet another SAVE THE INN story, Elise (Erin Cahill) has inherited her Grandma and Grandpa's old Inn at Apple Hill. Elise grew up around the inn and loves being its caretaker, but the trouble is that the inn is falling apart, it doesn't turn a profit, and she can't get a loan to make improvements.
Luke (Wes Brown), is a workaholic and CFO of a New York major hotel brand, his mother who is the CEO insists that he take a vacation. Having fond childhood memories he decides Apple Hill would be the perfect place to relax. Elise and Luke meet and have a confrontation over an arcade game. Elise isn't happy to find out that Luke is also a guest at her Inn, and tries her best to make his stay uncomfortable. When they both realize they were high school classmates their attitude towards one another changes.
Luke learns that Elise could use some help, she eagerly tries his clever suggestions to make the Inn more profitable. The whole town rallies around Elise in hopes that Luke's idea works. A dilemma occurs when there's a crisis back at Luke's office in New York and his mother goes to Apple Hill to tell him he needs to return to the office. However, Luke has grown to love the Apple Hill Inn, Elise and the town. Now Luke has a difficult decision to make as he awaits to see the outcome of his suggestions for the Inn.
There is grest chemistry between the two lead actors and although the plot is similar to other Hallmark movies, the clever and witty dialogue keeps the viewers attention. A pleasant and entertaining Romcom.

In my opinion, Autumn at Apple Hill is enjoyable from beginning to end and is worth the watch.
Elise (Erin Cahill) has inherited a hometown inn from her grandparents (of course, because who doesn't own an inn in these movies?!), but is limited in funds and is too stuck in her antiquated ways to keep it afloat and relevant. In short, the place is breaking down, bookings have plummeted and it's losing money fast. Enter guest Luke (Wes Brown), a former local who's now a hard-charging hotel titan forced to take a vacay from the family business by his mother (portrayed by Paula Boudreau). As you can guess, Elise and Luke learn a lot about the inn and themselves as the story progresses. Does the inn ultimately get saved? Watch and find out.
I always remember Erin Cahill for one of my favorite Hallmark Xmas movies (Sleigh Bells Ring), and she remains a very watchable lead. Wes Brown never disappoints and together they have very good chemistry. The rest of the cast is just as enjoyable, especially main supporting players Boudreau, Sarah Luby and Adam Hurtig. This is a very good movie to watch as you decorate the house for Halloween or if you're in the mood for an entertaining fall rom-com. I highly recommend it.

Erin Cahill is Elise Jacobs, newly divorced, and having inherited her grandparents' property. It is a rustic inn in a smaller community. It needs saving, it has a lot of deferred maintenance, and it is not clear that Elise will be able to afford to save it.
Wes Brown is Luke Bellwether, son of a lady who is the chief of their company. Luke tends to be an overachiever, rarely taking any personal time. His mother basically orders him to get away. So he goes away to where he grew up, Apple Hill.
It turns out Luke and Elise were in school together but he being a couple of grades ahead of her, they didn't recognize each other after 20-ish years. But it is clear that she despises him at first. Then he shows that he is not so bad, therefore it is following the familiar Hallmark story arc.
My wife and I watched it, streaming, as pleasant entertainment. There isn't really anything novel but it is done well with attractive actors.
At home, streaming.

It was a Beautiful experience watching this Movie. The Story was Awesome and the execution was Marvelous. The chemistry between Wes Brown and Erin Cahill is very much appreciable. The Movie gives a message to the audience that we have to try impossible things to succeed in an adverse situation. The Movie is 100% recommendable for the Family audience who are the supporters of the traditional western culture. On watching the Movie suddenly I remembered watching a Hallmark Movie 2 to 3 years back when the movies where really predictable but they defended the traditions and values which are missing in some of the recent Hallmark Movies.
Loved this film, perfect seasonal entertainment.
It's Hallmark-cheesy, but not overdone. Yes, the premise is totally unrealistic, but again - it's Hallmark.
Erin Cahill plays the owner of a struggling hotel. At first she hates Luke (Wes Brown) - CFO of a big NYC firm. But turnes out he's not as bad, he has history with the town, and so it goes.
Very light-hearted story about kind people, then there are some kind people, and then they meet new kind people. In an unbelievably beautiful setting.
Best caracter is Sarah Luby as Nora. She's fun and cares a lot about the hotel.
Erin Cahill has good chemistry with Wes Brown, even though I saw them more as friends.
With all the far-fetched plot devices only one thing bothered me: mother needed Luke's help A LOT. And then she didn't, because after all she was able to say two phrases herself. Huh?!
