The stay was great! The room was in the old Shaker Trustee building that had been converted into a hotel. I had a nice tour of the reconstructed Shaker village, got a brief but informative history of the Shaker movement, and their history at Pleasant Hill, Ky. Enjoyed a great dinner and breakfast at the restaurant in the hotel. It was a memorable experience, not just a stay along the way. Highly recommend this hotel if you’re looking to enjoy the hotel and the history.

The property itself is gorgeous and a great place to spend the day with family. To stay overnight, I wouldn’t say it’s the most family friendly. We were in a 2 room suite with a steep staircase in the middle of the room. The One room with a twin bed didn’t have a door, so we ended up having to have all of us in one room to ensure our toddler didn’t run out and down the steep staircase at night. The homes are older and don’t do much to help with noise, sorry to guests below. Surprised how well the AC worked on the 3rd floor. Unique history, cute shops and restaurant.

We reserved a double room. Upon assignment it was found 1/2 cleaned. There were no sheets on the beds, no towels, & the floors were dirty, so they reassigned us quickly to a king/twin room. That room was clean & just as pictured online. It would be a great place for a peaceful weekend stay. The surroundings are serene.

The walkways can be tricky, as can be the steps, due to the age of the property. Keep this in mind if there are stability concerns.

This property is like staying in Colonial Williamsburg. It is very old. The floors creek, the pipes sing in the night and there is little to stop any noise coming from other rooms. Beware the nails sticking out of the ancient hardwood floors! This is not very accessible if you have walking issues. Lots of uneven pathways. The drive out there is scary at night! Do not take the fastest route to get there from the airport- take the straightest way. But the place is exceptionally quiet and peaceful. It is beautiful and interesting from a historical point of view!

I really enjoyed Shaker Village very much. Staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Room was lovely and bed was fantastic. The only thing I would have liked is if I didn’t have to make reservations for meals. The food is wonderful! I just felt that because I was paying to stay there, I should have access to breakfast as an onsite patron. The other option would be to have a simple and minimal continental breakfast for those that can’t get seated at specific times. Again, wonderful experience.

The room was clean and adequate Just very old. You could not get to the sink in the bathroom unless you went all the way in and shut the door. Very small kind of like staying in an old dorm.
The area is literally in the middle of nowhere and very dark without good lighting at nite. No porch light to find your way at the front of the building either.
I know I sound critical which I don’t like to be. They are great people and the area is beautiful. However, I would most likely not stay again

This property is historic, and I understand that they can't change things because it takes away from the historic look, but the sidewalks are unsafe to walk on and limited between buildings. Where we stayed was old concrete steps in poor shape to get into the building. It was hard for us to lug our luggage up the steps. I wish I had known we wouldn't be on a ground floor, as I would have requested to be moved to a ground floor room or at least had someone young carry our suitcase up the stairs! The room was clean and had everything we needed in it. Small TV, but I don't care about watching TV. A/C was good. They keep all the buildings at around 66, so come with a sweater when you go inside any of the buildings. They had lovely merchandise in the gift shops. The staff was very friendly! Our food was good at the Trustees' Table. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the site, and I learned a lot about the Shakers that I didn't know. They were very innovative and forward thinkers.

My daughter, a student at a nearby University, and I, took a few hours to walk the property and enjoy dinner before returning her to campus. I then came back and stayed in one of the rooms. I was so very comfortable and enjoyed the views and peace of the absolute feeling of isolation of a time gone by. Good bed, an actual bedroom into the room, and excellent/beautiful surroundings. Loved it. I will stay a couple of day in the upcoming fall.

Stayed at the Shaker Village #6 East Family Brethren's Shop Room 549 (maybe 6 rooms in building) for 2 nights. Have stayed at Shaker quite a few times without incident but not in this room. I felt 3 light taps on my bare upper back and thought it was my wife trying to wake me. Too tired to answer, I ignored the tap but asked my wife later in the morning if she tried to wake me. Her answer was no. Nothing happened the second night. Will stay again.

Just an overnight stay w one meal. The meal was delicious, the service excellent. My server was head and shoulders above all others I interacted with in terms of ability to communicate with a guest and provide hospitality. Others communicated indifference to the guest experience or a modicum of cordiality. The dining room was uncomfortably hot although the server worked to remedy that. For reference I am 6'5 and 235 pounds. I realize the charm of the traditional furnishings, but I found the furniture in the dining hall and my guest room uncomfortably small. The bath mat and shower curtain in my room were both wet when I checked in. Disappointing. Apparently this is a popular overnight destination for people with kids 2 to 10. I would encourage the proprietors to lodge families with small children separately from adults w/o small children as much as possible. Maybe they already do that, but the buildings are such that any noise outside guest rooms is clearly audible in every guest room. I didn't find the noise of unattended children roaming the building I was placed in charming. Weather prevented me from exploring the grounds much but the property is stated as 3000 acres (!) and the stated mission around preservation/education/sustainablility/ecology seems admirable. I would dine there again, but if staying overnight would probably stay in a hotel off site. The programming/tours available sounded interesting.

Shaker Village provided a lot of rich history with plenty of exhibits and tours led by very knowledgeable guides. We loved the variety of activities available and even the space to roam freely and spend time with some of the animals as well.

The restaurant was hard to get a table at without a reservation, so they definitely recommend that. The food was okay, but we expected better for the price point. The yeast rolls though were the best bread I had ever had IN MY LIFE! I’d eat there again just for that! Management and service at the restaurant were very sweet, too.

As far as the dwellings, it was nice to see that dogs were allowed on the property, even though we left ours at home. The common areas of the dwellings, such as hallways and stairways were pretty dusty and had a lot of cobwebs, but the room itself was mostly clean. The corners and under the bed was dusty and even had a few dead bugs in webs.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. It’s what I would expect from a place focused on history and preservation.

We stayed overnight in the East Wash House. We had breakfast the next morning at The Trustees Table which was a buffet. After breakfast we walked around the village. We spent some time just walking around and going into the various buildings. We did the talk at The Meeting House which was interesting. It was very thought provoking to consider their celibate lifestyle and how the men & women were separated in all that they did. All in all it was an interesting experience and look at the past. We didn't agree with some of their doctrines. Overall it was a delightful look at their community and how they all worked together for the good of all.
