If you are looking for a nice place where you relax and feel as though you are among friends, this just might be the place for you. We've stayed at fancier places. However, this is Amish Country. You expect down home comfort here, not five star resorts. And honestly, you'd be hard pressed to find nicer hosts.
It was a mini vacation for my birthday. Carol helped my husband make arrangements for some local wine and a very pretty floral arrangement. Carol and Doug were both involved in serving us breakfast and sat down with us to chat. We really appreciated Doug's kindness in helping get the snow off of our vehicle before we left.
While we were there, we stayed in one of the suites which had a queen bed, a tub/shower combo and a sitting room with two recliners and a wet bar and mini fridge. We couldn't resist peeking in the cottages before we left. Both are neat. We'd love to come back during warmer weather and try one out.

Hadn’t been here in over 6 years. Spent the weekend in one of the cottages and not disappointed. Doug and Carol were very friendly. Will definitely need to come back when it’s warm again to seat by the campfire under the stars. Winter thou, imparts it’s own beauty to the area.

We stay at the Garden Gate Get-A-Way Bed and Breakfast several times each year. We especially love the Millersburg Amish area. The locals are very friendly and the goods they sell are amazing! There is always something new to do - we love the auctions and festivals, and the kids love the farm tours and buggy rides. It's truly like stepping back into the past, to a simpler time. We always come home so relaxed, as if it were a few weeks away, instead of just a few days. The innkeepers, Herb and Carol Steffey, are very hospitable. They always let us know what's going on in the area and come up with great ideas for activities and meals. The meal in the Amish home will never be forgotten! Carol's breakfasts are world class, and the evening snacks around the campfire are always fun. We especially love staying in the new jacuzzi suite, but we've stayed in most of the rooms and they're all excellent. We would highly recommend the Garden Gate Get-A-Way without hesitation. It is far and away the best Bed and Breakfast we've ever stayed at.

We just came back from our trip to the Millersburg area and spent only 2 nights out of a planned 4 at Garden Gate Get-a-way. The website and internet pics are deceiving and information not accurate. It might have been at one time but not currently. Our room was much smaller than the pics led us to believe. There was Knick knack stuff all over that made surface space limited. I took everything and put it inside a crate with loose ceramic tiles on top of it that held the TV just to free up space. A fake potted tree sat in the corner taking up more space and needed major attention. Didn’t need to be there! Pest traps were in the corners. I’d think a pest control service would be much better! From dingy towels to a breakfast that totally let us down...frozen pancakes microwaved! A ham slice that was over microwaved and store bought cinnamon rolls. We’ve stayed at many B&B/Inns and this one really let us down. Oh and nightly campfires are advertised and our confirmation email said we could book a massage and I see the website talks about tour buses that leave from the Inn. We saw none of these things. The Innkeepers could have polished their appearance, too. It’s one thing to think you are making people feel like you’re part of their home but when you are paying for that hospitality, it really needs to be with your best foot forward and a step above.

Place needed some TLC outside and some in. Had problems with bathroom drain but nothing we couldn't deal with. Not having ac was a problem for us. We use it often even in cooler weather. Bed was soft, view was pretty, great location and great value. Dog was very cute. I am not saying it was bad just not for us.

We have been going to Garden Gate B&B for four years. It has truly become our "home away from home." The beauty and peacefulness of the countryside combined with the beautiful bed and breakfast is beyond compare. Each of the five rooms is decorated with a garden theme. The Briar Patch room was one of our favorites until we discovered the Rose Garden room, complete with a cozy fireplace and kingsized bed! The new Garden Gate suite is nothing less than a five star hotel room. Not only does it have a fireplace but a wonderful jucuzzi as well. All of the rooms have many special touches including plush towels, herbal bath salts, lotions, fresh water bottles for each guest and chocolates on your bed stand every night! A special sweet treat can be found each day in the common room for all guest to enjoy. Breakfast is wonderful each morning. We enjoy fresh fruit, homemade Amish bread, various kinds of muffins, egg casseroles and much more. The innkeepers are so very friendly and extremely knowledgable about the Amish Culture and the area all around. They offer many special packages that include tours and many even include dinner in an Amish home which we have done many times. One very unique feature about this bed and breakfast is the campfire every night. It is such fun to sit outside around the fire and talk with the guests and the innkeepers. Even if it is cold we bundle up and have the best time. This bed and breakfast is the most wonderful place to relax and get away from it all. We would highly recommend this to anyone who will be spending time in the Berlin/Millersburg of Ohio.

We found this place doing a search on the internet - we were drawn to the bonfire lit every night as a gathering place for the guests. We've been back several times over the last few years, bringing friends when we can and will continue to go back. Herb and Carol Steffey are all about making their guests happy. The rooms are welcoming and comfortable and the breakfasts are always delicious - fresh fruits and yogurt, and yummy amish breads and muffins and Carol's special Sunday breakfast casserole is my favorite! We've participated in several of their murder mystery weekends. Herb and Carol plan every detail of the games, making them weekends to remember. Herb and Carol have also made it a point to learn all that they can about the Amish community around them. They are a great resource for learning about the Amish way of life and they make a special effort to find the best places to shop and even plan tours that take you directly into Amish homes and experience their way of life first hand. This is our "get a way" from the chaos and stress of our lives....

We sooo enjoy our annual stay with Herb and Carol at Garden Gate. Their hospitality is the Best!! They are so accommodating, for example - my husband has a special diet that he has to follow. Carol was very willing to provide a snack and breakfast to accommodate his diet. I call that going above and beyond for the inn keeper!! Kudos to the Steffeys!! We love the campfire in the evenings and enjoy the fellowship with the other guests. The campfire was the big draw for us! The rooms have always been very clean and decorated very nice. I always feel very much at home....home away from home, as they say! They are always very informed on what is going on in the area and the places to go and places to see. You will never be sorry that you stayed at Garden Gate Get-A-Way!! Some day I'm hoping that we can visit more than once a year. For us there is no other place to stay during our visit to Amish country.

This is a beautiful Bed and Breakfast with wonderful hosts. It's on a quiet corner with farmland surrounding it. Our hosts were great, our room was lovely, the gardens are beautiful, and breakfast was delicious. We enjoyed the bonfire in the evening. It is close to Berlin for shopping and eating. We would love to go back!

Dissatisfied with the level of service provided. We stayed here last Valentine's day and the service was good but this year it was not up to par.While the room was nice and cozy the customer service provided by the owner was rude and when we inquired about a late checkout she rudely told us no therefore we left an hour earlier on the day of checkout as a result of her rudeness.The room had not been cleaned while we were out nor was the trash taken out. Her overall demeanor was oft putting. We were looking for a place to share memories every Valentine's Day but unfortunately for us this is not the place to do that. We will definitely return to the Amish country again next year but will find other lodging.

Response from ohiobedandbreakfast, Owner at Garden Gate Get-A-Way Bed & Breakfast
Responded Feb 20, 2015
It appears that we had some miscommunication with this guest. On the first morning that breakfast was delivered at 10 by the request of this guest they were asked if they would like an earlier breakfast the 2nd morning of their stay since checkout was at 11 a.m. They asked if they could check out at 1 p.m. and I replied that I was sorry but I cannot do a 1 p.m. checkout. (The reason for this is that check-in is from 3-6 p.m. and there is no way that we can get everything cleaned and ready for the next guest with a check out so late). It is part of our daily schedule to go in every room/cottage and clean. This particular guest chose to stay in the cottage and we do not come in while the guest is there. They did call the innkeeper and request fresh towels. When we delivered the fresh towels we took the used linens and dirty dishes out. IF the guest ever left the property it was way after any cleaning staff had left for the day. The next morning we delivered a plated breakfast to the guests and 5 minutes later they left without eating anything. When we check guests in we tell them that we are available 24/7. A simple phone call or knock on the door would have brought the manager out to take care of any needs that the guests had. In addition there were no opportunities to be "rude" because the only communication with these guests were at check-in (where everything was fine and everyone was happy), check-out, and when breakfast was delivered). We can certainly understand how disappointed the guest was that the cottage did not get cleaned because when they checked out we saw where there were some accidents that wine had been spilled on the bed linens, down the kitchen cupboards, and some liquid was spilled all over the bathroom cupboards. Had we had the opportunity to enter the cottage if it had not been occupied we certainly would have changed the linens and washed up the spills. All of the other guest rooms and cottages were cleaned on Saturday except for this guest that never left.

We really don't consider our B&B to have a "basement". We have a 2 story home and the innkeepers occupy the 2nd story. Guests walk from their car along a brick-paved path in front of the 1st story where each guest room has a private entrance. Along that pathway we have a couple of porch swings, iron rockers, and flower gardens planted. Visit our website to see pictures of the rooms.
