Romance is the hallmark of Donna’s Premier Lodging, nestled in the heart of Ohio’s Amish County. Couples seeking a cozy getaway, celebration of a treasured wedding anniversary, or a honeymoon destination for the beginning of happily-ever-after will find that Donna’s signature hospitality and stunningly beautiful accommodations provide the experience they are longing for.
Innkeeper Donna Marie Schlabach is dedicated to providing the very best to each and every one of her guests. Donna’s Premier Lodging is far from a cookie-cutter lodging establishment. At Donna’s, visitors can choose their location: close to shopping and local attractions or in a secluded cabin in the woods. Roomy bridal suites feature luxury beds, bubbly Jacuzzis, inviting sitting areas in front of blazing fireplaces, and charming kitchenettes with complimentary goodies. Other guests may choose to enjoy their stay in a picturesque cottage, a rustic cabin with all the amenities, or a spacious villa. Each lodging choice features its own romantic and unique style, and is packed with special amenities, so you are sure to find something that fits the two of you perfectly.
The crème de la crème at Donna’s Premier Lodging is the renowned Romancing the Stone multi-leveled cedar cabin. The cabin was creatively designed and built into native rock to incorporate a lovely, naturally cascading waterfall. Where else can you have your own, private waterfall as a murmuring background for romance? Mood lighting and an alcove-tucked, heart shaped rose Jacuzzi will transport couples to another time and place. A curving wood staircase leads to a gorgeous fireplace set in stone, with a hickory mantel emblazoned with the words Romancing the Stone. Relax and share private moments cuddled up on the couch, and enjoy a snack of fruits and cookies, hot cocoa, popcorn, and sparkling cider in the full-sized kitchen. As dusk falls, escape to the loft to enjoy a view of the woods as you curl up on a billowy window seat, or retreat to the luxurious king-sized bed for a night of sweet dreams.
A stay at Donna’s Premier Lodging can be customized for the ultimate in pampering and romantic touches. In-room couple massages by a licensed therapist is a treat you will not want to miss. A full course breakfast in bed, sweetheart packages, balloon bouquets, spa packages that include Donna’s signature bathrobes, aromatic rose bouquets, gourmet chocolates, a sumptuous country breakfast, delightful picnic baskets packed with delicious lunches, and individually designed gift baskets can all be arranged by Donna’s staff.
Outdoor barbecue grills, gently swaying porch swings, DVD and CD stereo systems, cable TV, handcrafted cedar cabinetry, flickering candlelight, Amish Country Culture Tours, a special Sauna Suite, and even a billiards table in Cedar Cabin #6 can all be a part of your stay at Donna’s Premier Lodging. For those seeking the sublime, experience the ultimate in romance, Donna’s style – a carriage or wagon excursion at a local Amish farm or an unforgettably nostalgic sleigh ride across the snow-covered countryside.
Donna’s Premier Lodging is all about assisting you in making dreams come true. If you can dream it, they are committed to doing their very best to create the romantic experience you desire. After all, romance is what Donna’s is all about.
