Das Dutchman Essenhaus for Warm Hospitality

Heritage Trail Driving Tour

 

Das Dutchman Essenhaus has that warm hospitality that feels oh-so-cozy during the winter days!

Eat traditional Amish Country favorites at the Essenhaus restaurant, from the buffet or off the menu.  Over 30 varieties of made-from-scratch pies are available for dessert (or a break during the day!).

Take a brisk walk outside to the Village Shops, or over to the Essenhaus Inn, where you can stay overnight with all the amenities, including a complimentary breakfast.
