Situated atop softly rolling hills, the 9-year-old country-Victorian inn is a quiet respite offering guests a spectacular view of Amish farms, grazing horses, flowering meadows, and winding lanes.

Within walking distance are shops galore along the main street of Berlin. Unique crafts, candles, furniture, quilts, and antiques delight visitors from all over the world.
Spring is breathtakingly beautiful at the Inn, presenting a brilliant array of tulips in a variety of colors.

The frame is filled with 700 "Tequila Sunrise" tulips which produce stunning 5" blooms in a colorful combination of peach and red-orange, along with a mixture of gold and red tulips. This vivid display graces the front entrance to the inn and shouts a happy welcome as guests arrive.
