I recently stayed at Simple Pleasures Bed & Breakfast for a long weekend in Ohio Amish Country. My time there turned out to be far more than just another vacation but rather a life changing experience. From the minute I walked into Simple Pleasures B&B and met Carol Lee to the morning of my departure, I was surrounded by a peaceful and serine environment, breathtaking views of the rolling hillside and the warmth and kindness of humble people, both Amish and English. Carol's knowledge of the Amish and suggestions of places to visit were impressive and very helpful. Carol has a natural ability to make you feel like you've known her for many years although you have just met. Simple Pleasures B&B is warm, inviting and a perfect place to rejuvenate your spirit and re-energize your soul. Carol is a wonderful story teller and my only regret is that I would have had more time to sit and visit with her more. The high tea on the day of my arrival was the perfect start to a memorable weekend. My favorite part of the day was being greeted by Carol and waiting to see what delicious and beautifully prepared breakfasts she would serve. The food was incredible and just the perfect amount to start off each new day. I am not sure my review can accurately describe what a wonderful place Simple Pleasures B&B is but I have already made plans to return in the fall, and have recommended it to several friends and family. If you are looking for a place to stay where you can relax, feel pampered and learn about Ohio Amish Country you will not regret visiting Simple Pleasures Bed...
Read moreThe name says it all. It has three rooms plus a great room the also serves as the breakfast room. My contacts there were two Amish girls, one definitely a young teenager. They lived on the farm out back which was just beautiful. The rooms are fairly spacious and had Amish quilt on the bed and other things one might expect or visualize. They did have electricity and even tv, and a small microwave and refrigerator even though they cannot use those things themselves in their home. It even had wifi which surprised me. There is a gazebo out front and a deer farm in the back. Each day one of the girls makes a different breakfast. They are very accommodating if one has dietary issues, but the breakfast is very filling and delicious. The location of the B and B is in the middle of Amish country and anyplace can be reached in a half hour. The girls at prtty shy, but the prtty open about explains their way of life. Do not ask them to pose for pictures, btw. It violates...
Read moreWe spent a long weekend in Amish country. When looking for accomodations (B & B) I we found everything that looked interesting to be full up. "No room at the inn" all over again! One innkeeper,however, kindly recommended Simple Pleasures. Carol & Owen are a wonderful host/hostess. The inn (which is also their home) has three very comfortable rooms --- generous size, nice furnishings, and a very attractive common area for meals and relaxing. The location of the B & B is handy to all Amish country sights. The highlight was Carol's breakfasts. Delicious and beautiful! By the way, she is assisted by a lovely Amish girl with the cooking and cleaning --- and if you're interested, an evening meal can be arranged with this girl's family....at their home. Carol and Owen know the area and the people very well and are very helpful in planning the day's activities.||||All in all a wonderful time! We would highly recommend...
