Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caitlin D. Jul 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Our stay at Stillwater Retreat was so peaceful! I am so glad there was a shelf stocked with toddler toys as we only brought a couple of our 2 year olds favorite toys. Additional baby gear as well (pack n play, booster seat, toddler utensils, etc.). The coffee was a huge hit for my husband and I. The machine is so fancy, I was worried I wouldn’t know how to work it. Once it’s powered on, it walks through the steps and is self explanatory. We saw many birds and groundhogs by the pond. The fishing was great! Our 2 year old daughter caught two fish and oh was she proud of herself!! She loved jumping off the dock and swimming. The kayaks were great to have on site. My husband did utilize some of the fishing poles stocked in the shed but he did have to re-string them as they were pretty tangled. The swing was so much fun. All in all, this cabin was perfect for our family. Close to all of the Amish Country attractions but also a private oasis away from everything and everyone. ![On site kayaks!
