Staying overnight lets you enjoy the beauty of the Shaker village during the quiet hours in the evening and early morning, before the day trippers arrive -- the historic buildings are closed during these hours, but there are great opportunities for walking. Our room was in in the Trustees' Office building, which was very convenient since it also houses the... more

We rented the Tanyard House in September for 3 nights. Our group consisted of my mother and father, my husband and our 2 children aged 3 and 1. The house is huge and the children loved the extra space to run around in. The place was spotlessly clean, the beds comfy and the reproduction furniture unique. We ate at the... more

I've been a frequent visitor to Shaker Village for over 20 years. I love the place! It's my "getting away from it all" escape---very quiet, restful, renewing---and the food at their restaurant is excellent. For a long time I've wanted to reserve the Ministry House, and finally splurged---stayed there this Autumn. The Ministry House appears to be a quaint little... more

Excellent service from a friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are a delight - Shaker furniture throughout, clean and comfortable. It's a great experience to stay in one of these historic buildings. Don't miss the meals in the Trustee's Office dining room - outstanding! more

Shaker Village unto itself is loved, cared for and beloved by the good folk of Kentucky. And rightfully so... It has its virtues. The Ministry House specifically, as a rental, is not all it could be. The upside: You get your own house. The downsides: No heat downstairs, smoke fills the entire house if you one uses the treacherous fireplace,... more

Shaker Village is a one-of-a-kind experience. Beautiful and restorative. The Shaker hospitality always works its magic. We have visited three times now, twice for a weekend with other families. Everyone on the staff truly takes pride in this place, and with good reason. Costumed docents are knowledgeable and eager to tell you about the Shakers. The music in the meeting... more

The lodgings at Shakertown are excellent in every respect. By the time you check in all the crowds of the day are gone. You have the entire town for strolling at your leisure. The rooms are spacious with excellent facilities and plenteous towels. The entire setting is extremely quiet. You will have departed again before the crowds arrive. The dining... more

We visited the Louisville, Kentucky area to play tourist. We had read about Shaker Village here at Trip Advisor and decided to visit for the day. It was awesome! Our only regret is that we didn't plan to spend more time here. We didn't arrive until almost noon. It would have been more enjoyable if we arrived earlier in the... more

My wife and booked a one night stat over the weekend believing this would be a quiet place to stay after a days worth of hiking on their trails. There are several buildings on the property that house guests, so I'm not sure why they would put a couple in the same building where they were having a family reunion... more
