Food, furniture and more at Dutch Valley
If you're driving toward Sugarcreek on scenic State Route 39, you'll discover a cluster of clapboard buildings known as Dutch Valley. Once a working farm owned by the Lorenz family, today it is an oasis of hospitality from which to enjoy Amish country. Along with the well-known Dutch Valley Restaurant and Carlisle Inn, the campus includes Dutch Valley Gifts and Dutch Valley Furniture.
Although currently home to a tasteful gift shop, Dutch Valley Gifts was once the humble home of livestock, hay and farm machinery. Today, Dutch Valley Gifts earns its keep by offering an elegant selection of fine gifts, easy-to-wear clothing, fashionable jewelry,
luxurious personal care items, and gracious accessories for home and garden. Tucked into glass-front hutches, stacked on shelves, arranged in beautiful tablescapes, and displayed gallery style on the walls, are hundreds of creative gift and decorating ideas.
With three floors of cozy rooms, nooks and crannies, lofts and corners to explore, you'll find a lot of shopping in one beautiful place like lamps, framed and matted art, and hand-painted pottery. Heritage Lace window treatments, high-quality leather goods, beautiful jewelry, and men's items perfect for the golfer, hunter, fisherman, gardener, or sports fan. Stationery, textiles, and dozens of romantic scented candles. Children's outfits, precious baby presents, and unusual toys. Even specialty foods, Amish Country souvenirs, and inspirational books are part of the collection.
Dutch Valley Furniture showcases nearly 40 different lines of high-quality, handcrafted, hardwood furnishings on two floors of inventive displays and imaginative room settings. Beautiful quilts and comforters with matching shams provide the perfect finishing touch for sturdy wood bedsteads crafted with simple lines and meticulous attention to detail. Delicate china lines the shelves of solid oak hutches, some with meticulous, traditional details like dove-tail drawer construction.
A source for more than just furniture, the shop has other surprises in store. Within its lovely room settings, you'll discover a wide variety of interesting home accessories - from framed mirrors to ceramic lamps, from kitchen clocks to custom curtains.
If you're intrigued by the idea of discovering beautiful, handmade Amish furniture or fine gifts inside renovated farm buildings, there's probably only one place in the world you can find it. A visit to Dutch Valley Gifts and Dutch Valley Furniture is truly a unique and inspiring shopping experience that you won't find anywhere else.
