Testimonials

Testimonials 

Our group LOVES The Rural Thimble as a scrapbooking retreat. It is truly the best place we stayed! It is very clean, small details have already been thought out for guests (from kitchen supplies to power cords in the main room), and it is located in a beautiful Amish Country. We love that you can unload with ease at the front door (no steps) and that there is at least one bedroom located on the man floor (for handicapped guests). Thanks for creating a special place for our annual fun!!
