About this property

Lakes, Waterfall, Basketball Court: Family Getaway 5-7 bedrooms

Tucked into the rolling hills of Amish country, the newly-constructed Middlehaven offers an escape from the city and a chance to connect with the folks who matter most.

YOUR LARGE GROUP (& FIDO) ARE WELCOMED HERE
Middlehaven has room for everyone including:
✔️The Main House 5 bedrooms (sleeps 15)
✔️The Loft Apartment 1 bedroom (sleeps 6- addition cost $200/night)
✔️The Conservatory 1 bedroom (sleeps 2- additional cost $150/night)

For groups of 15 or less, The Main House offers 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, giving you ample space to spread out comfortably in English Cottage-style accommodations.

For groups of 16+, The Loft Apartment offers additional sleeping arrangements for up to 6 other people.

Want more privacy and romance? Add The Conservatory to your stay and get a private space with a king bed, double shower, and a soaking clawfoot tub for two. A stocked kitchenette and private deck easily make for slow mornings with coffee in hand.

The Loft and Conservatory are additional charges.

COME YOUNG & OLD—THERE’S FUN FOR EVERYONE

We’ve created a space for multiple generations to come together and unwind. Whether it’s meandering along concrete (and accessible) pathways or roasting s’mores around the campfire, Middlehaven is the place to put down the phones and connect.

The kids will love playing in the kid-friendly, gentle waterfall. And once they’re in bed? The grownups can take a relaxing dip in the 8-person hot tub.

A STOCKED KITCHEN- JUST LIKE YOURS

Middlehaven’s kitchens come stocked with ample essentials that make cooking up family-style meals simple. Whether it’s grilling steaks outside or pulling grandma’s famous casserole from the oven, you’ll find all you need to share memorable meals together.

Perfect getaway

The owners of this property have truly thought of everything to make your stay the most relaxing, most fun, most special! This was our second year spending NYE with extended family at Middlehaven, and it won’t be our last. Highlights: relaxing in the hot tub, walking the property with our dogs, air hockey and arcade game tournaments, talking around the huge table that fit all 12 of us.

This home was absolutely gorgeous, even better than the pictures. Everyone was extremely comfortable, there was plenty of space and the host provided everything we needed. She also included some extra little items that were a nice surprise. Each year my extended family gets away so we can all spend sometime together. This was BY FAR the best place we have stayed. I highly recommend staying here and look forward to returning. I

We gathered at Middlehaven and the Conservatory for an early family Christmas gathering. The property is beautiful! Rose is an excellent host and covers every detail. The rooms were decorated with Christmas charm, even the bedrooms. We will definitely be returning again. If you are looking for a place to create family memories, this is the place!!!!

Our stay was Perfect!

This was our 3rd stay at Middlehaven. It is rare we can get together with our 5 children and their families all at once in one spot. Middlehaven is perfect for our family to enjoy meals and all the wonderful amenities. I Love sitting back and watching my grown children interact with each other like no time has passed. Rose & her family knows what it takes to make our stay perfect. She is there every step of the way answering questions promptly and seeing that any needs are met. Thank You Rose, you are Very appreciated !

We had a fantastic stay! The home was absolutely gorgeous, spotless, and had the perfect amount of space and activities for everyone—from kids ages 3 to 12 to six adults. It was well-equipped and close to lots of local attractions, making it a great home base. Highly recommend!

Everything about Middlehaven and our host rose was 5 stars. I can’t say enough about this property. Rose knows how to make her guests feel welcome- from the chocolate chip cookies and smores to the dog supplies - everything was above and beyond. I’ve never stayed at a property that was so accommodating and stocked. She doesn’t just allow you to stay at her properties she tries to make sure you have everything you need and more. I would come to Dover just to stay at one of her properties. The house and grounds were exceptional!

What an amazing family vacation!

These folks think of everything you need and a whole bunch of things that you don’t need! 🤣 My grown children and small grandchildren all had plenty to do. The whole house was very clean and beautifully decorated. Everyone loved being together and had a great time! We’ll be back to Middlehaven for sure! 👍🏼 😍

Wonderful home for families

Middlehaven was everything it was meant to be. We have a large family (ages pre-born to 73) and everyone had their own space. We enjoyed family time of meals, games and relaxing. The children loved both ponds, the waterfall and the game room. Rose is an expert at thinking about all the needs of her guests. The cookies, tote bag, little surprise box, etc were all appreciated. Highly recommend this beautiful home! We will return! Thank you, Rose & Brian!
