I visited Yoder's Amish Home in July 2025 with some friends…read more We took a guided tour of a traditional Amish home. The tour was about 1 hour and very detailed. We entered a house and were shown how the kitchen, living room, and bedrooms would have been set up. The male guide was very knowledgeable. Throughout parts of the tour though, many of us were getting hot and thirsty. The hoke we toured had no fans or air conditioning units installed just for the sake of the tour (even though I know that a traditional Amish home would not have had A/C). Complimentary water would have been a nice gesture. Nonetheless, we all powered through send finished the home tour. At the end of the tour, we were offered fresh baked goods to buy (cookies and bread). My favourite part of the tour was seeing how the kitchen looked and seeing the clothes that males and females wear. I also liked looking at a German or Pennsylvania Dutch Bible. The tour we got also included a barn tour but at the end of the home tour, everyone was hot didn't feel like entering a barn. I went to peak into the barn and saw some horses which was cool. Overall, this is a nice way to learn some history about Amish people in Ohio and in general. The price is reasonable and fair. Tours begin in May, I believe, and end in September or October of every year but check their website to confirm. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 94/250 total reviews in 2026 - 935 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 20 May 2026

We took our 10 and 12 year old grandchildren to this Amish Home, barn and school. We also had a…read morebuggy ride. our guide was Kate, a young Mennonite woman. The whole experience was fabulous! Kate was interesting, knowledgeable, and personable. She gave factual information and answered questions. The last room we saw (and smelled!) was the kitchen where we found a sweet Amish lady actually baking bread and cookies! For a reasonable price we enjoyed the most delicious cookies! Then, we toured the barn with and older Amish gentleman named Alvin. He showed us the farm animals and let the kids pet them. Unexpected fun included the kids helping chase 6 baby pigs that had escaped their pen! What fun! I can't recommend this whole experience enough! if you can, GO. AND to top that, it was very reasonable priced!!!

We enjoyed our afternoon at the Kingwood Center. The staff and docents we spoke with were friendly…read moreand knowledgeable. We especially appreciated Julie, the receptionist, rounding up some sandwiches for us (They're transitioning to a new food vendor, and the grab-and-go case was nearly empty when we arrived.). We brought our sandwiches out to the gardens, where there are many seating areas with nice views. The historic mansion is beautifully decorated, a window into how this wealthy industrialist lived in the last century. Pam, the docent at the front desk, was full of interesting stories about the family and the house. We were surprised to learn from her that the curtains at the front of the house were the originals from the 1920s. With high ceilings and huge windows, every room has a beautiful view, even the servants' areas. I found the kitchen especially interesting. If you plan to visit Kingwood with small children, I recommend saving the mansion for another day. The beautiful staircase (faux painted with a feather!) has a low railing and wide spaces between the balustrades. It would be easy for a child to slip through and fall to the terrazzo ground floor.

The trail around the lake is pretty and offers fun looks at the geese and ducks on the lake as well as the other local animals that might cross your path. The observation tower gives amazing views of the area to enjoy and the main building offers very interesting educational displays and activities. I'm also very fond of their indoor bird watching area. A great place to spend some time with nature. Highly recommended.

The theme this year revolves around Children's Christmas Story Books, so they asked for a book donation in lieu of admission.

My wife and I were in the area and looking for a winery. Google brought us to Dragonfly and we were…read morehappy it did. They have a lot of wine to choose from. Our favorite was the blackberry. We then ordered the blueberry and cream cheese dip and a flatbread pizza as well. Both terrific. We had a 16 year old young lady sing and play her guitar. It's so wonderful to meet ssuch talented people. We will be back soon. We took home a few bottles of wine to enjoy at home. Sean the owner told us of the history of the building and the area. We will have to come back and try the tea room with her granddaughter.

So this is a small town winery. There aren't many people in here right now but it's very loud. It…read moreretains a little bit of Country rustic charm but metal chairs on concrete are probably something that you want to keep in mind if that's going to affect people with bad backs or walking problems. This style of environment adds to the venture being loud... yes, this is an acoustic warning if you are inside (presumably the outside area is much more less ear splitting). During our visit there was only one employee working (perhaps owner???) He was trying to fill multiple roles so I can't fault him but the service was really rather slow as he was trying to be a cook a waiter a server as well as cashier. This is a small joint. Inexpensive as well as a flight of wine (three tastes) was only $7 Overall I think this is a solid three-star Winery. If you are in the area it is as good as any to stop in but not really exceptional nor worth the drive of say more than 20 minutes or so.

This was probably my favorite winery we stopped at on our trip to the area. Cute tasting room with…read moreoutdoor seating as well as an event space. They were going to have live music as well as a food truck in the evening but we had other plans. The winery offered samples for $1. Most of our group chose 4-6 wines to try so our table looked a bit crazy with all the glasses. The one downside was that the employee who helped us was relatively new and had us do our tastings from sweet to dry, instead of dry to sweet. She did say that she was trained this way but it threw me off. Luckily, the owner came in and we were able to ask some questions. When I questioned the thought process of going from sweet to dry - he quickly corrected our remaining samples and made a note to do some retraining. I enjoyed that this was a family owned winery. Even the kids were studying subjects in college to allow them to be part of the business as well. I loved the theme of time. Our group ended up leaving with several bottles and I would definitely recommend this winery to others.

It's a nice winery with a cozy feel, not too far off the beaten path…read more The wines are very good, plenty of choices. However, wish they offered more in the way food. They do have food trucks at times. Still, a couple more food choices wood be nice. Maybe some different chips and dips, veggie trays or flatbreads. Has a large upper room for special events, and a small patio but plenty of green space with tables, great for entertainment with a wooded area that has a fire pit. Just maybe a few more fire pits for the colder evenings.
