Experience Dutchman Hospitality

“Personally, I think it was just about perfect.” — Jim W.

That’s just one of the ways guests of the Carlisle Inn Sugarcreek describe their stay at the well-appointed and homey 69-room hotel.

“It’s transforming. Every detail and every person contributes to this being a safe, joy-filled place to be. In today’s world, this is much needed and a true vacation.” — Kathleen H.

And the accolades go on.

“It was one of the most laid-back and peaceful places we’ve ever stayed, and it’s very clean.” — Thomas S.

And while the high praise of Dutchman Hospitality’s sensational guest accommodations on the Sugarcreek campus are appreciated by everyone on staff, they’re also rightly earned. As a former guest myself, I can tell you firsthand that no detail has been overlooked. From the scent of fresh-baked cookies and popcorn filling the air to the library of family-friendly games to play and the all-season pool, there is everything to love about the Carlisle Inn.

“Don’t forget about the free deluxe continental breakfast,” said Vicki VanNatta, public relations coordinator for Dutchman Hospitality.

And within steps of the Carlisle you’ll find Dutch Valley Restaurant, the eatery that launched an entire industry, a bakery, a gift shop, a market with fresh deli meats and cheese, and the Ohio Star Theater, where a packed schedule of family-friendly entertainment rounds out a visit to one of Amish Country’s premier destinations.

At a still-young 2 years old, the 514-seat Ohio Star Theater hosts everything from gospel and Christian musical groups to family-friendly comedians and Broadway-style productions.

Here’s a sample of what you can expect when you grab your ticket to the show this year:

“A Simple Sanctuary,” Friday, Aug. 23 through Saturday, Nov. 9 – New!

Melissa James has no choice but to flee. Pursued and living on the run, she finds desperate sanctuary in Amish Country. Part suspense, part romance, “A Simple Sanctuary” is a compelling story of love tested, the cost of freedom and the solace found in community.

“The Christmas Tree Ship,” Tuesday, Nov. 19 through Saturday, Dec. 28 – New!

New for the holiday season, “The Christmas Tree Ship” is a riveting tale inspired by a true story. Find out what happens when a ship, a storm and one family’s mission to rescue Christmas for their community come together.

“Every seat in our theater is a great one,” VanNatta said. “People who come to our shows have nothing but positive reviews. The beauty of our productions is they’re appropriate for anyone. Most people like to combine a stay at the Carlisle with dinner at Dutch Valley, followed by a show at the Ohio Star Theater.”
