My sister and I researched dozens of B&B's while planning our trip out to Amish country. The Richmond house exceeded anything we had hoped to experience. The home's lovely period details made it more than just a place to sleep at night. The original door hinges and handles, the wood plank floors & deep window sills made me feel that I had gone back to an earlier time. Tim and Dolores were lovely hosts that visited with us each morning during breakfast to see where everyone was going for the day and served us dessert and coffee/tea every evening as guests gathered to visit in the living room to share stories of their lives or travels of the day. Dolores shared recipes and I have made one of the desserts that she made for us while we were there--it is now one of my favorites--simply called Pumpkin dessert. The breakfasts were warm and hearty and I loved eating at the large dining table with the other guests and learning of where others were traveling that day.
We experienced an unexpected snow storm that dropped about 4-6 inches and turned The Richmond House into a safe haven to return to. I was hoping the storm would continue and I would have to extend my stay there longer. My sister and I are planning a return trip within the next few years since we live out west. I truly can't imagine finding a better place to stay than The Richmond House.
