Traveling, dining out, celebrating milestones—sharing new experiences as a family not only creates wonderful memories, but also brings everyone closer. The Carlisle Inn Sugarcreek and Dutch Valley Restaurant create a rural oasis at the gateway to Amish Country where family time really is quality time.

At the Family Table

Dutch Valley Restaurant is a perfect meeting place for family gatherings of all sizes and kinds, from weddings and reunions to a cousins’ lunch or a weeknight dinner. Reflecting the local traditions, we serve classic, made-from-scratch meals that beat fast food by a country mile. We appreciate the opportunity to provide good service and good value to local or traveling families. We offer:

• Delicious pies and desserts made and baked fresh daily at Dutch Valley Bakery;
• High-capacity spacious dining rooms and flexible seating, so even large extended families can be seated quickly;
• Efficient friendly service and an easygoing atmosphere
• Totally non-smoking, no-alcohol environment;
• Plenty of parking and full handicapped access

A Place to Reconnect

Carlisle Inn Sugarcreek is the perfect country getaway for families who want to relax and reconnect. It’s also ideal for families who appreciate value. Guests at the inn enjoy a level of quality, service, comfort, and amenities well beyond what you’d expect for the area and for the price.

Carlisle Inns are built to be gracious AND spacious. You won’t be cramped in our guest rooms, especially the executive suites and family suites—a lot of room for the price. Every guest room comes with a beautiful view of the countryside and a balcony or porch from which to enjoy it. Additional family-friendly features include wide hallways, clean rooms, soft carpet, triple sheets, a separate dressing room with an extra sink, and solid wooden doors to keep the noise inside (or out)—we know these are things Mom’s and Dad’s appreciate. For after sunset, each room includes cable TV and Internet access.

So Much to Share

In and around the inn, there’s much to see and do during family time. Take a splash in the all-season pool area, get some exercise, or play foos ball. Pick a cozy spot for a game of Monopoly, work on a jigsaw puzzle, sing around the piano, or talk by the fireplace.

Rock awhile on the porch or go for a walk around the complex to shop. Follow the smell of fresh cinnamon rolls to Dutch Valley Bakery, inside the restaurant front entrance, and buy some just-baked treats to bring back to your room. Or introduce the younger generation to some old-fashioned favorites like popcorn balls, chocolate covered marshmallows, and striped candy sticks at Dutch Valley Market.

Kids can find an interesting gadget, something to cuddle, or an accessory for their rooms in Dutch Valley Gifts and Furniture. Better yet, Dad can play with the kids in the pool while Mom does some serious shopping!

Everything about Amish Country encourages families to relax, reconnect, and make great memories. Whatever your definition of “quality family time,” Dutch Valley Restaurant and the Carlisle Inn can help you make the most of your time together in Sugarcreek.
