Accomodations are plain. I had to drag my luggage up 3 flights of steep stairs - there was no elevator! There is no internet or cell phone access, or a simple soda machine. They'll tell you they can handle a corporate retreat but they can't. Your employees will be scattered across a few buildings. Employee socialization will be very limited.... more

We really enjoyed our visit to Shaker Village. It is amazing what they accomplished back then and how disciplined they were and how well they ran the village. We went in June and it was quiet warm and most of the buildings do not have AC. The buildings are well preserved and it was amazing to see how the village... more

A nice place to visit for any age. Those with lots of energy have plenty of space and freedom to roam freely. The pace is leisurely and the country setting is serene. You feel as if you've stepped back in time to the best there was to offer. The architecture is impressive and the inventiveness of the Shaker people is... more

We had the pleasure of staying at the Inn at Shaker Village for three nights recently while visiting Harrodsburg for a family wedding. While definitely not a luxurious resort-type accommodation, it was comfortable, clean, and appealing, and very reasonably priced. You give up some chain-hotel type amenities for the wonderful experience of staying in the bright, airy, beautifully designed historic... more

The only drawback to my trip to "Shakertown" was that I didn't have enough time there. I will definitely plan to return. I was fascinated by the history and blown away by all that was accomplished. I read in another review that the gift shop was pricey -- which it definitely was -- but the smaller gift shop at the... more

Your vacation experience depends more on your attitude than the actual accommodations. If you want to see what a dedicated nonprofit group can do to preserve an important part of history, then this is the place for you. The rooms are comfortable but they are, after all, located in historic buildings that have been restored to the 19th century conditions... more

I accidentally posted our review under the Shaker Village *HOTEL* category. I am reposting here because we enjoyed it so much, we want to encourage others to take the tour. We visited the Louisville, Kentucky area to play tourist. We had read about Shaker Village here at Trip Advisor and decided to visit for the day. It was awesome! Our... more

We had a wonderful visit to Pleasant Hill. The buildings and land are lovely and well-maintained. Exploring the village gives you the chance to learn about the Shaker lifestyle while experiencing the serenity and beauty that would have been part of their daily life. I enjoyed a quiet walk further up the lane to see the small graveyard. I highly... more

My wife and I have visited Shaker Village numerous times over the years, where we've enjoyed touring the restored village buildings, watching craftspeople at work, hiking some of the property's extensive trails, and staying overnight in one of the village buildings. We've thoroughly enjoyed all our visits and almost always manage to find something we've never discovered before (most recently... more
