This was one of the nicest hotels in this price range that I have ever stayed in. The people were sweet and kind. The rooms were clean as could be. And the place was quiet and really nicely appointed. They had homemade warm, chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies, waiting for guests upon their return each evening. Such a wonderful touch.

I have stayed at the Essenhaus several times and I’ve never been disappointed. The morning breakfast goes beyond your typical waffle machine. Food is fresh and delicious. Don’t pass up the fresh baked cookies in the lobby. Our room was immaculate and very good sized . The bed was comfy and my husband raved about the shower.

Very impressed with the Essenhaus and would recommend a stay here to anyone. The rooms were spacious, nicely appointed and superior to typical chain hotel rooms. The hallways and common areas were tastefully appointed as well, The entire property, inside and out, was immaculate. Walking/biking paths through the beautiful grounds led to the Pumpkinvine trail. Restaurant on site had an excellent buffet. There is also a bakery and shops on site. Swam in the pool and enjoyed the hot tub. Can't say enough good things about the Essenhaus and hope to return.

The room was very clean. Decor was beautiful while the carpet was clean it was faded and showing its tired. The hotel itself was gorgeous! We had an excellent stay. Absolutely loved the off season pricing as it truly helps us who are retired and on fixed incomes. The breakfast with the eggs, cheesy potatoes, fresh doughnuts were a real hit!

Good trip. We stayed there because of the indoor pool.... Which was closed while we were there. Then we got called several times in the middle of the night, by a ghost caller....hotel staff says they don't know why that happened. Really hope they get that ghost to stop prank calling

This was our first time here. Just passing through to pick up a camper. This property is beautiful! Very very well maintained. Very clean and well kept. May not be modern but everything is very nice and spotless! The grounds are gorgeous with ponds, a walking trail, even a covered bridge. There is an outdoor fire pit that we didn’t get a chance to use but very nice. The breakfast was very good. Waffles, scrambled eggs, sausage, cheesy has browns, cereal and all the normal stuff. Very big eating area. The hotel is beautifully decorated. The bed was firm and comfortable. Rooms were spacious, ours had a patio facing the pond. Nice staff. Would highly recommend!

First time staying here, was only here for one night. It was very clean and comfortable. The pool was open, unfortunately the hot tub was not functioning. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful and good. Lots and lots of places to sit outside of your room, choose comfortable cushion chairs or at tables to play games. Definitely will stay here again.
