The pretty little village of Walnut Creek is a natural gathering spot in Amish Country, attracting townsfolk and tourists alike. Der Dutchman Restaurant and Carlisle Inn are a big part of the community. We provide a friendly and warm welcome, beautiful rural surroundings, and a wholesome environment where church groups, local organizations, non-profits, and families can fellowship and feel well cared for. Our guests can expect:

• A clean, safe environment
• Friendly, efficient service
• Good value
• High standards for quality and consistency
• Non-smoking facilities
• No alcoholic beverages
• Ample free parking
• Full handicapped accessibility
• Activities and amenities for all ages

Whether your group has come to Walnut Creek for a retreat, a workshop, a special event, a family reunion, or some well-earned relaxation, you also can anticipate having a wonderful time together.

Gather around the table, to savor generous helpings of simple, home-style foods that are uniquely satisfying and increasingly hard to make at home. In keeping with the tradition of the family dinner table, groups can order their meals served family-style, so dishes are shared and passed. Or they can take advantage of our bountiful buffets that offer something to please every age and appetite.

Rest easy at the Inn, surrounded by a refreshing, safe, smoke- and alcohol-free environment that comes with its share of wonderful rewards. At our charming get-away, the emphasis is on comfort—triple sheets on the beds, wide open hallways and staircases, cozy nooks for a quiet chat or a quick catnap, and individual balconies and porches for taking in the beauty and serenity of the surrounding countryside.

Make the most of every minute, whether you’re here to relax or work together. Our meeting rooms accommodate groups from 5 to 300, with flexible seating arrangements and excellent audio/video capabilities. And we take care of the details, whether it’s making sure there’s a pen and paper at every seat or refreshments are at the ready. Knowing your needs are met, you can focus on your purpose with a positive frame of mind.

Enjoy abundant things to see and do during your quality time together. Within the Inn itself, you’ll discover delightful spots to gather for fun and fellowship. Play board games, read by the fireplace, or rock on the porch. Buy a ticket at the desk, head over to the hitching post, and see Walnut Creek the way the Amish do—from the seat of a custom-made, horse-drawn buggy. Best of all, there’s great shopping, delicious homemade food, and glorious countryside to explore right outside the Inn’s front door.
