My stay at the hotel was wonderful! The location is superb, nestled in the heart of Amish country, with stunning views of a large pond hosting beautiful white swans and Canadian geese. The rooms were cozy, and the service was excellent. However, the dining options were a bit limited. The facilities were well-appointed, providing a great overall experience.
This hotel is a hidden gem in the heart of Amish country, offering beautiful views of a large pond with white swans and Canadian geese. The location is perfect for exploring the theater scene and enjoying the tranquility of nature. The rooms are spacious and modern, providing a comfortable stay. However, the dining with the flip over waffle iron was unique but may not suit all tastes.
