I visited Yoder's Amish Home in July 2025 with some friends…read more We took a guided tour of a traditional Amish home. The tour was about 1 hour and very detailed. We entered a house and were shown how the kitchen, living room, and bedrooms would have been set up. The male guide was very knowledgeable. Throughout parts of the tour though, many of us were getting hot and thirsty. The hoke we toured had no fans or air conditioning units installed just for the sake of the tour (even though I know that a traditional Amish home would not have had A/C). Complimentary water would have been a nice gesture. Nonetheless, we all powered through send finished the home tour. At the end of the tour, we were offered fresh baked goods to buy (cookies and bread). My favourite part of the tour was seeing how the kitchen looked and seeing the clothes that males and females wear. I also liked looking at a German or Pennsylvania Dutch Bible. The tour we got also included a barn tour but at the end of the home tour, everyone was hot didn't feel like entering a barn. I went to peak into the barn and saw some horses which was cool. Overall, this is a nice way to learn some history about Amish people in Ohio and in general. The price is reasonable and fair. Tours begin in May, I believe, and end in September or October of every year but check their website to confirm. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 94/250 total reviews in 2026 - 935 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 20 May 2026

We took our 10 and 12 year old grandchildren to this Amish Home, barn and school. We also had a…read morebuggy ride. our guide was Kate, a young Mennonite woman. The whole experience was fabulous! Kate was interesting, knowledgeable, and personable. She gave factual information and answered questions. The last room we saw (and smelled!) was the kitchen where we found a sweet Amish lady actually baking bread and cookies! For a reasonable price we enjoyed the most delicious cookies! Then, we toured the barn with and older Amish gentleman named Alvin. He showed us the farm animals and let the kids pet them. Unexpected fun included the kids helping chase 6 baby pigs that had escaped their pen! What fun! I can't recommend this whole experience enough! if you can, GO. AND to top that, it was very reasonable priced!!!

On our list for our first stop was Gnadenhutten State Memorial Park. The museum was closed but…read morethat's okay. Trying to stay on our budget I prefer not to go into a museum with admission fees plus there is signage along the park that gives you info needed. We strolled around the small park, looked into windows of the Meeting House, a cabin and the cemetery. Free to enjoy outside! A step back into history and story of the 90 Indians including women & children that was massacred.

This is a must see if you visit Gnadenhutten. The cemetery surrounding the museum and historical park is the oldest cemetery in Ohio. It's beautiful and I visit each time I go to this adorable village. We called John who's name was on the door and he was able to meet us at the museum. He is a wealth of information and the nicest man ever, not to mention he is the Mayor of Gnadenhutten. We walked around the museum and I was in awe of all the arrowheads that are displayed, they all were found within 15 miles of the museum. It's not a huge museum, but take your time reading things and watching the very informative movie playing. We were there for two hours and John was able to tell me apart of history that I didn't know. It's such a sad story about the 96 Christian unarmed Native American Indians massacred by Pennsylvania Militiamen. They killed Men, women and children and then burned the whole village down. This happened on March, 8 1782. Two children were able to escape, one was scalped but survived. They were able to tell the story to Moravia Missionaries. In 1798 missionary John Heckwelder returned to the site and collected all the bones he could find. He buried them all in on grave and that mound is roped off at the historical park. I can say hearing the story from John, it was so sad I found myself tearing up. The grounds are so beautiful and today they have the church and cooper house for you go into. They have all kinds of events throughout the year, I wish that I lived closer so I could attend them. In August they have Pioneer Days, the weekend after I left was Apple Butter Days. Thanksgiving through January 1 they have a Christian Indian drive-thru display. If you visit this museum and historical park, please leave a donation. We need this part of history to be displayed and to honor those who lost their lives. So the money helps keep this place going. They also need volunteers, my daughter is going to help out on her day off coming up. Thank you John, it was one of the highlights of my trip meeting you and learning about this time in history.

I have know this place for more than 75 or so years. It is always amazing! Mooney was an extremely…read moretalented man! And very pleasant. I remember him on a Sunday afternoon, sitting on his chair under the big old shade tree on the front lawn. He always greeted. He'd reach not his pocket and pull out a little block of wood and his knife. With 3 or four cuts, he made a pliers and gave it to me. Ive broken them and lost them over the years. I was skyways impressed with his train collection! All hand carved. Absolutely beautiful. Abd the button house! Amazing! I still hope to get back there some day.

I first visited the Warthern Museum over 30 years ago and have been back several times. Recently…read morewe had out-of-town relatives visiting and were looking for something to do. So, a trip to Amish country and then a side trip to the Warther Museum was the ticket. Earnest Warther was a master carver and he carved a wide array of amazing carvings - mostly of trains. The detail in his carvings is incredible. Warther was sel-taught and he actually made some of his own knives because he could not find what he needed in the stores. His craving and craftmanship is amazing. This is a MUST-SEE attraction in the Dover/New Philadelpha area. Allow at least 2 hours (longer if you have time) to thoroughly enjoy this museum.

The…read moresetting alone--nestled in the rolling, scenic Amish countryside--creates a peaceful, unplugged atmosphere that's perfect for retreats, camps, or just getting away for a bit. But what really stood out to me was the overall experience: everything felt intentional, welcoming, and well cared for. The food is a highlight in its own right. You'll find a mix of traditional fare alongside some great local favorites, and it's clear they put thought into making meals both satisfying and enjoyable. On top of that, the staff is incredibly friendly and approachable--they go out of their way to make you feel at home. The camp director, Jon Casbohm, does a fantastic job leading the place, and it shows in both the culture and the quality of the experience. Even the camp store is impressive, stocked with sweatshirts, caps, mugs, and even some heavily discounted gear that's actually worth picking up. There's no shortage of things to do either. From horseback riding and zip lines to paintball and team-building activities, there's something for everyone. The water options are especially fun, with a giant swim area, a pond, and even a pool complete with a lazy river. A majority of the cabins have been renovated and are in great shape, and the house that another reviewer mentioned has also been updated, which really adds to the overall comfort. Skyview Ranch does a great job balancing adventure, relaxation, and quality, making it a place you'll want to come back to.

Don't let them put you on the bottom floor of the ranch house in the winter! The house is old and…read morethey obviously haven't updated the heating system. The upstairs controls the thermostat for downstairs so all you get on the bottom floor is a radiator that malfunctions and turns off in the middle of a 17 degree night. Every room was freezing. This place isn't equipped for all the winter retreats they hold. I can't believe people have gone here more than once. We had a fairly significant injury when a girl's horse ran her right into a low branch and pushed her off. She thought she dislocated her thumb so our youth pastor went to the first aid station to get a wrap. What a disappointing surprise when he found an empty room which looked like someone was squatting in it. Our youth pastor called and texted the guy in charge of the weekend (as requested by said guy in charge) because he thought maybe the retreat center would like to know. It's 3 days later and still no response. Our youth pastor was also seemingly avoided by Guy in Charge. Ok... And the food. Ugh. No vegetarian options unless you want to only eat cooked vegetables and salad all weekend. My husband tried the burger they were offering for lunch but the bun was so stale it was crunchy outside and inside- like a cracker. The pork offered for dinner was full of fat and gristle. 5 hours of free time and no staff around meant kids just had free reign and we the chaperones couldn't keep an eye on them all. All the summer activities on the lake (zip line, swing, trampoline) were out still on a semi-frozen lake. This proved too tempting for a couple 6th graders. Why wasn't that stuff put away. A broken sled on their "snake hill." so they're not currently using that because no snow and broken sled. No one actually made an announcement about this or put up something to keep people away from it. Just a camp full of danger. And as for the God part- the reason we went. Meh. The speaker had to fill an hour so it was just a lot of rambling and it was theologically questionable at best. Why did the camp tell him to fill so much time? 90 minutes of chapel plus 30 minutes of break out sessions with your own youth group for a bunch of teens. Are you kidding? Especially when the speaker has nothing to say. Too long. Anyway. This is getting too long. So TL:DR not impressed. This place will make you sick with how freezing it is and how late they require you to stay awake. Chapel itself didn't end till 10:00 and then evening activities would start. The people running the show were nice and creative but they had no idea what they were doing.

I have mixed feelings about our experience here. We had…read morenever been, just drove past on our way somewhere else and decided that it would be a fun place to try. We walked in and entered the room with all of the bottles for sale. I asked where they do tastings and the staff told us that is in the next room over. When we went in, I asked what we needed to do in order to taste. (there are large signs at the "bar" area that they do not do tastings at the bar). We were greeted with a "go over to one of the tables" but kind of with an attitude like we should have known better to just go over to a table instead of asking a question. Once we did visit a table, there is a list of wines on a paper and pens. You can taste as many as you want, but can only sample four at a time. Samples are 50 cents each. I enjoyed some of the dryer reds, but wasn't a fan of certain specialty ones (the dandelion one really intrigued me but both my husband and I disliked it). The person doing the sampling the day we were there didn't seem to like the fact that I was asking questions about the wine and the winery. There was a definite attitude. Maybe it is because we weren't regulars or seemed like we wouldn't buy or something. But it was definitely off putting. The staff in the front room were definitely much friendlier and accommodating. Overall, a fun stop, but not one I'd rush back to next time I'm in the area.
