I stayed at Shaker Village when I was driving across the country. It's an incredibly special place with a rich history, delightful and professional staff, and exceptional service. The rooms are located in original historical buildings that have been incredibly well maintained. The rooms are exceptionally clean, bathrooms are well stocked with towels, soaps, etc., and the beds and bedding are super comfy. Outside of the rooms, I can't say enough good things about the actual Village. The non-profit that runs the historic site have done an amazing job maintaining the grounds, gardens, and organic farm and animals. There's miles and miles of walking paths/trails to explore, daily events where you can learn about Shaker history, music, and life ways (all included in your reservation at no extra charge), and a restaurant that has three seatings per day (I didn't have time to catch one of the meals but other guests remarked on how delicious everything was, much of it sourced right from the farm on site). In the summer when I stayed there was free music under the big oak trees! It was heavenly. Although Shaker Village is a 7 hour drive from me, I fully intend on returning for a longer stay, and soon.

The Wi-fi can be pretty spotty but if you have cellular service, you'll have all the access you need.

If you like beautiful rolling hills, miles of trails across creeks and through woods, and staying in historic buildings, this is the place for you! We loved our time here, taking tours of the buildings, experiencing the small animal farm, taking long hikes, seeing waterfalls down at the Kentucky River, and eating farm to table cuisine at the inn. The rooms are simple, quaint and charming, clean and very comfortable. Outdoor fireplace are available for bonfires. If you have horses you can board them overnight and ride all the trails. An amazing place!

Many of the building exteriors are in need of repair.

Found this quaint village by accident, what fun it was. A Shaker village on 32 acres of farmland. Don't be surprised if you spend a bit of time exploring and reading their history as well as walking the pathways to see the animals, visit the shops, and to enjoy the restaurant. I forgot to ask about steps when I booked my room, I have knee issues and I struggled to get my suitcases up to my room. I found out later they would have helped me. The room was a delight from the hardwood floors, to the rugs, the windows overlooking the area as the sun set and the village lights came on, the antique furniture, the design of the room, even the locks on the doors. While walking some of the paths at dusk I discovered there were areas that had campfires set up! Did you ever find any of this at a place you just booked to get a good night's sleep?!

Stairs, my fault for not enquiring.

breakfast was decent, but a bit pricey. Also variety of choices was limited. We would like to come back to explore the property. The weather did not permit us to make use of the extensive trails. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The bath supplies and coffee were great! I also enjoyed reading a bit about the history of the village from the book that was provided in the room.

I had biscuits and sausage gravy. Not much sausage in the gravy. Had to pay extra to add fruit. Fruit was limited to grapes and strawberries. I expected more variety. Also seems that fruit should be included in this entrée selection. Regarding lodging: the noise from other guests just walking in the hallway and accessing their rooms transmitted easily into our room due to big gap under the door. Light from hallway was also coming into room under the door at night. We eventually laid pillows on the floor at the bottom of the door to block the light.

Quiet and close to where my family lives. The price was very affordable

I would have liked a bigger building with more room. The boiler was turned on so there was no AC which made it very stuffy and hot on 2nd floor. We stayed in Stone Building. We ended up with box fan and that helped alot. The fridge facility area was a small crawl hole looking space with nasty sink. The fact you had to put any fridge foods in a college sized cubicle was somewhat of a joke.

Peaceful, idyllic location loaded with history and period charm. Nice restaurant and wonderful gift shops. Friendly staff was informative and well organized.

Our room was so small that it was difficult to get around the bed. The bathtub drain was backed up. The windows were drafty so though we would return again, decided that winter wouldn't be the optimum season to do so.

Beautiful and peaceful location with comfortable rooms. The charm was in the historic setting. It is a good place if you want a quiet getaway.

The weekend breakfast buffet was good but not nearly as outstanding as it was in the past. It was a disappointment. Check in and directions were confusing. It took us a while to find out room.

Peaceful. Educational. Historical accommodations. Unique stay. Pleasant staff. Great tours. Easy booking online to find right room.

Only one thing…the bathroom, specifically tub and shower curtain, needed better cleaning. Appeared to be not just a one time miss but by discoloration in grout and on curtain, it is a regular problem.

Having museum on lower level, gift shop next to dining and local music was great. 30-acres of landscaped farmland with pigs, ducks and garden was a treat. Everyone was very nice and answered all questions.

Shower head was meant for children and not adults; it came to mid-chest (I'm 5'9"); there was no mentioned of this although must by historically correct given the building was built circa 1859

Breathtaking location and very serene! A bit of authentic time period artwork on the walls would have cozied up the space though. Felt a little sterile without it. Beautiful properties and historical buildings!! Would love to return!!

It smelled pretty musty and had rotted windowsills that were moldy. We understand its a very old place, but the windows definitely need quick restoration. They were so soft with moisture and rot that you could lightly press on the wooden frame around the glass and it would move. Not good at all, especially for health issues.
