Apparently, based on some of the other reviews, this hotel had been slipping under previous management. The water park has been closed. Now that Blue Gate has taken it over, they provide an extensive hot breakfast and are taking much better care of the hotel. Since the rooms were designed for families coming to the water park, the king bed... More

Visited the Amish Country Inn with my wife and our 2 sons ages 10 & 6. It was any easy 2 hour ride from Chicago. Overall the inn was clean, cozy, and family friendly. The attached water park (admission included with room) is small compared to Wisc Dell's water parks, but was fun for the kids. The buffet breakfast was... More

My mother-in-law booked a room for a gift for us, so we could visit the waterpark (which closes May 19 for good, and really was only for those under 12) and when we went to check-in, they told us there was a $20 charge for incidentals, and then wanted us to put in on our card. I don't understand why... More

Booked this hotel for a night stay over spring break. It was an experience all in its own. We had to wait 30 minutes to check in because they only had one person working the front desk. Then our room and everyone else for that matter was not ready, she was taking down cell phone numbers and would call when... More

This motel has a water park aimed at small children and is very family friendly. Besides the waterpark, they have a lovely full breakfast if you buy their package. You need to check and see their hours in the off season though. The rooms are spacious and even have bunks for 4 plus the sofa sleeps another two. We are... More

We arrived around 6pm and our room along with a lot of other guests was not ready. The feint desk staff was very rude and wouldn't give us a time for when the room would be available. A female manager finally appeared and said that she would return with a timeframe, but thar never happened. The lobby was full of... More

We stayed here for a weekend with my in-laws and all of their family. From the moment we arrived, until we headed for home, the staff here was very rude.
