By Jennifer Kneuss
Lodging in Berlin, Ohio, can sometimes be a rare commodity, especially during the peak of the tourist season. But for those who have discovered the hospitality of Zinck’s Family Inns, there are plenty of rooms and lots of friendly faces standing ready to make their trip to Ohio’s Amish Country unforgettable. Zinck’s Inn, Lodging on the Square, and The Carriage House all offer lovely accommodations for guests.
The flagship of the Zinck’s hospitality line is Zinck’s Inn of Berlin. This facility features a beautiful gathering room with spectacular views of the Amish countryside and a breakfast that goes way beyond continental. Delicious, locally made Amish baked goods are a centerpiece of the fresh foods made available to guests each morning. With king or queen sized beds, Jacuzzis, room refrigerators, cable TV and AC, the home-like atmosphere of Zinck’s Inn makes it a perfect place to begin each day while visiting Amish country. “People love to come here and meet in our gathering room. They love to sit here or sit on the porch and enjoy the views. We get a beautiful sunrise,” exclaimed Andrea Fowler, general manager, as she surveyed the popular hub of activity. Dinner, chocolate, flowers, and massages are available in the Sweet Escape packages now offered to those wanting an especially memorable experience.
Guests return to the inn again and again. “What keeps our guests coming is because we have a great, friendly staff…and people love the area.” Fowler is proud of the inn’s reputation for quality. “We’re known for our exceptionally clean rooms. We don’t have a lot of frills. We try to keep our rates competitive – we have a great staff –and we have a great breakfast.” The inn is just a short distance from the many shops of Berlin, with their legendary handcrafted heirlooms, including the ever-popular handmade Amish quilts.
Zinck’s also offers guests a pleasant stay at Lodging on the Square, located on Main Street in Berlin. There, standard rooms offer simple accommodations, queen-size beds, and Internet access. A deluxe room includes a king-size bed and a two person Jacuzzi for those looking for something special. Visitors step out the front door and are immediately immersed in the unique culture of this small community which displays the work of countless artisans.
A third option for guests is Zinck’s Carriage House, an architecturally pleasing hotel just two blocks from the bustling streets of Berlin, yet with the feeling of being in the countryside. With 10 distinctly different rooms, some with Jacuzzis, fireplaces, and decks, the Carriage House offers memorable lodging for the discriminating traveler.
