Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill 3501 Lexington Road, Harrodsburg, KY 40330

"This place was incredibly beautiful and well maintained. My husband and I spent our honeymoon night in the "Family Wash House". Our room was so charming and it had the perfect mix of old and modern. My only complaint is that the buildings were not easy to identify. The signs were small and the direction placcards were kind of vague. The staff was very friendly. The prices of the items at their gift shop were pretty high, with most of the goods claiming to be handmade. I wish we could have stayed longer and maybe taken a tour or something, but to do so would take a lot of money. We got the feeling that this place caters mostly to older adults with higher incomes. This place is pet friendly, but we saw many "dog piles" throughout the grounds. Please pick up after your animals!!!! Our room had its own thermostat, which I thought was pretty cool. They didn't have like those generic wall appliances which many hotels have. We would definitely love to go back to maybe ride the horses or something similar. Overall it wad a wonderful experience."

"We have been there twice. It is a very educational historical site. You can learn old trades, see the animals, how they built their buildings by using gravity and not nails. The place is filled with wonderful people who over working there and it shows! The second time we spent the night. The room was clean with a good bed and nicely decorated. The restaurant is like a five star restaurant. The food was hot, delicious and our server was great. Attentive, but not hovering. We will be going again for the experience and food."

"Shaker Village is a historic settlement and a great blessing to all of us who have had the privilege of visiting, lodging and or dining there. Katherine and I stayed at Shaker Village over four years ago, and we found ourselves coming back to Kentucky (10/2023) and on our last day, made an impromptu stop at Shaker Village to eat dinner. Reservations are definitely recommended. The tomatoes, celery soup was outstanding and definitely a five out of five stars. The soup of the day that Katherine has was a garlic mashed potato soup and we both thought it was exceptional. The creole shrimp was very good, but the type of spice and seasoning and broth was not my personal preference. I like more of a blackened shrimp with a Cajun spice and maybe no broth. The portion of shrimp was generous and they were at least jumbo in size! The ciabatta toast points were very good with the meal. We also have a beet salad and it was very refreshing and the sliced pear was a nice addition. They definitely could’ve used more beets though."

"My wife & I visited Shaker Village on a Tuesday and were there from 9 am to 5 pm and really enjoyed ourselves. We visited Welcome Center to buy our tickets and then took 10 am tour to introduce us to Shaker Village. Then we enjoyed a music presentation and then toured the village/farm/cemetery on our own. There are gift shops, a restaurant, bikes you can rent. Staff are very nice. At the end of the day we enjoyed a poultry parade and enjoyed feeding the ducks."

"We attended the harvest festival today and had so much fun. There was a great mix of things to do alot of which did not cost anything. My three year old grandson loved his first pony ride. The day was gorgeous and there were some great food trucks there I could go on and on. Will definitely attend next year."
