There's a restaurant on site. Public spaces have free WiFi. Event space at this inn measures 25 square feet (2 square meters) and includes conference space. The business-friendly Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill also features gift shops/newsstands, a garden, and a picnic area. Self parking is free.
My daughter, a student at a nearby University, and I, took a few hours to walk the property and enjoy dinner before returning her to campus. I then came back and stayed in one of the rooms. I was so very comfortable and enjoyed the views and peace of the absolute feeling of isolation of a time gone by. Good bed, an actual bedroom into the room, and excellent/beautiful surroundings. Loved it. I will stay a couple of day in the upcoming fall.
Beautiful community. Buildings and land are well maintained and so picturesque. Information regarding buildings and Shaker culture is well displayed and very helpful. Staff giving lectures are very knowledgeable of the Shaker history. Their talks are very interesting. The restaurant's dinner servings are delicious. The restaurant staff is very attentive.
Was in town for a family visit. Have stayed here before and now make a pointe to always stay when in town. Beautiful grounds and historical dwellings for all to enjoy. Love that it is on a working farm with site provided food. So glad this is maintained, corporate rooms are just nothing to compare. Wildlife, farm animals, nature trails, events, etc....
Came to Danville to spend Valentine's day with my college student. Stayes at Shaker Village's East Family Dwelling. We had the 32 Queen beds room. The room is huge and lovely. It is so charming, full of characters, with a fire place (non-working) that brought you back in time. The view from the window was beautiful.
Stayed at the Shaker Village #6 East Family Brethren's Shop Room 549 (maybe 6 rooms in building) for 2 nights. Have stayed at Shaker quite a few times without incident but not in this room. I felt 3 light taps on my bare upper back and thought it was my wife trying to wake me. Too tired to answer, I ignored the tap but asked my wife later in the morning if she tried to wake me. Her answer was no. Nothing happened the second night. Will stay again.
Just an overnight stay w one meal. The meal was delicious, the service excellent. My server was head and shoulders above all others I interacted with in terms of ability to communicate with a guest and provide hospitality. Others communicated indifference to the guest experience or a modicum of cordiality. The dining room was uncomfortably hot although the server worked to remedy that. For reference I am 6'5 and 235 pounds. I realize the charm of the traditional furnishings, but I found the furniture in the dining hall and my guest room uncomfortably small. The bath mat and shower curtain in my room were both wet when I checked in. Disappointing. Apparently this is a popular overnight destination for people with kids 2 to 10. I would encourage the proprietors to lodge families with small children separately from adults w/o small children as much as possible. Maybe they already do that, but the buildings are such that any noise outside guest rooms is clearly audible in every guest room. I didn't find the noise of unattended children roaming the building I was placed in charming. Weather prevented me from exploring the grounds much but the property is stated as 3000 acres (!) and the stated mission around preservation/education/sustainablility/ecology seems admirable. I would dine there again, but if staying overnight would probably stay in a hotel off site. The programming/tours available sounded interesting.
Wonderful place to stay. Restaurant is great. Most the rooms in the building we stayed in were on the 2nd floor. If stairs are an issue, request a room on the 1st floor. Check in is at the welcome center. Looking forward to returning for another stay.
Great historical inn! The grounds are amazing. Dinner was delicious. The host at breakfast was snooty because we didnât have reservations on a Tuesday morning. Seriously?? Breakfast was very good too.
