Doc Dan and Mary began their lifelong commitment to Amish Country in 1967 when Daniel Miller accepted a call to come back and open a doctor's office in Walnut Creek. Raising four children and being the only physician for miles meant that life wasn't exactly relaxing for the Miller family. But a caring community and a peaceful setting helped. Building their first house "back in the woods" just below the Manor where their son and family still live, the Miller children could camp and play endlessly in the woods and creek. The children grew...and soon a tennis court with basketball hoops was added to keep the high school kids busy. But motorbikes and other fun things aside, Cindy, Bart, Eric and Heidi all remember a childhood both of fun AND work, like mending fences, mowing, hours of music lessons and other daily chores. By 1991, all of the children had moved from home with families of their own. Becoming involved with the Walnut Creek Der Dutchman restaurant and working with the company only deepened Dan and Mary's sense of gratitude and commitment to the area's business community, church, the Amish community and visitors who come to enjoy such a unique area. After selling some of the successful family businesses that were started by Mary's parents, the "house on the hill", now known as Miller Manor, was built in 1999, fulfilling a dream to live a still-busy retirement in the sunshine and breezes, to wake up everyday to a beautiful view, and to host family and friends when they all come home. Daniel and Mary were given an opportunity to relocate to Walnut Hills Retirement Community in 2015, where they continue to reside today. They continue to walk each morning and are active still in family businesses, church and the community. The decision was made by the family in 2015 to maintain the property as a vacation rental, in order to share the wonderful location and setting with others for family gatherings and more.
