While touring the beautiful state of Ohio, a fantastic place to say is the Carlisle Inn. Located in the heart of Amish country, you will be right in the center of all there is to do and see. While there is always something to do in Ohio, I have to admit that I do love this area in particular. The slow pace and friendly atmosphere you will find here just can’t be beat.
The hotel is lovely and spacious, and right in the middle of everyplace wonderful in this area of Ohio- which is my son’s favorite part of Ohio, by the way. There are so many things to do- and this is a great, safe, and family friendly place to be. You may never go anyplace else again!
Looking over the scenic farmland from your balcony, there is no place else you will want to be. The rooms smell fresh and clean, and the staff could not be any nicer if they tried. They were exceptionally kind to my son, and they have an added bonus- every night from 6-9 pm, there is snack time with cookies, tea, and fresh made popcorn. Not to mention a a story hour! How sweet!
The pool is clean and well maintained, not at all a loud or rowdy place, and there is a hot tub for mommy and daddy to relax as well, if the kiddos will give you a second!
Every morning, there is a breakfast served- which always helps with travel- if breakfast is included, I am so much more likely to use a particular hotel.. This breakfast pulls out all the stops, with sausage, eggs, fruit, yogurt, cereal, bagels- everything you would want! Little Man sure did enjoy himself! (Pssst- so did my Meema- she does NOT mess with her breakfast, LOL)
Each floor is beautifully decorated in a different style, and there are ample sitting and relaxing areas around every bend. Filled with comfy chairs, couches, and sitting areas (even a library and game area) you will find the perfect place to relax and unwind after a fun filled day in Holmes County at the Carlisle Inn.
On December 31st- yes, New Years! – come celebrate with the Carlisle for their “Party With a Purpose“-
Celebrate New Year’s Eve 2011 with a dinner concert featuring comedian Jeff Allen, and the family musical group, “The Browns”. This is a great party for both religious and secular audiences.
A Party with A Purpose will have two seatings at Carlisle Inn Sugarcreek: 1pm with dinner to follow and 9pm with dinner before the show. The full gourmet meal will be served by Dutch Valley Restaurant next door.

Located in the same campus is the Amish-Style restaurant Der Dutchman Dutch Vally, where you can either eat buffet style or “Amish Style”- which means that they bring all the food to the table, and you eat like you would at home. You order what you want, and then they bring it to you- you then share the plates as you want.
With the aim to serve you and your family great food at a good price, in a wholesome environment- I can not think of a reason not to visit Der Dutchman. The restaurant has a bakery located on the premises, where not only can you order dessert, but you can buy some and bring it home with you- and you know I did! We brought home a few Whoopie Pies, of course, as well as some “Fry Pies” which are small, individual pies that are…well, fried! And also 3 large pies for ourselves and neighbors. Bet you can’t eat just one!
You can also find an assortment of other food goods available for purchase there.
Don’t miss out! Across the way, you can also find the Amish Gift Store Dutch Vally Gifts, a great place to bring back a little piece of Amish County to everyone back home. We bought some preserves and this fantastic peanut butter spread, that one can only get in Amish areas and we were nearly out of.
There are so many more photos you can see from these great locations- check them out HERE and have fun! You would have so much fun here, Ohio is a great place to stay and has so much more then you would think to do. But Sugar Creek? Not to be missed!
You can find them on Facebook as well- and hop on by- there are some specials you can take advantage of!
How nice! I live in Western PA, so maybe one day I’ll be blessed enough to check out this fantastic destination. π
