The Apple B&B was originally built in 1849 as a Greek Revival style home adorned with symmetrical gables and large pillared columns-a grand structure located in downtown Martinsburg.

In 2018, after working in the banking industry for many years, Denise Phelps and Mark Eisinger began looking for a property in Martinsburg’s Historic Downtown District that they could restore to its former beauty. They found The George Appleby MD Historic House and decided it was perfect for their project. Phelps says,

“It was a gem and a wonderful downtown, but it needed a little bit of work and we saw all of the great things that were happening in downtown Martinsburg, and we wanted to be a part of the revitalization effort, so we bought the building and started a renovation project.”

Although the couple first began looking for a home that they could use as their residence, they realized halfway through their renovations that the downtown area needed lodging for tourists in the area. Phelps and Eisinger changed the direction of their initial plans and decided to add and cultivate a unique space for tourists to stay while they are visiting the local shops and restaurants that the downtown offers. From this vision, The Apple B&B was established.

Wanamaker began her career contracting with the government, but this area of work can be unpredictable, never knowing when a contract is not going to be renewed. At one point, this process left her jobless. As a single mother of three children, being left without income was disruptive. Although she found another position, she wanted to ensure that she would never be in that situation again and so VEMTECH was born. She shares,  

“That is why I have such a heart for entrepreneurs because entrepreneurs are risk takers, they’re the ones that put themselves out there, but also they’re the ones that are taking control of what they want to accomplish.”
