Spend a Night in History
Mount Vernon, Ohio • Near Amish Country
This isn't just a place to sleep—you're booking an experience. The Antique Apartment is a fully-furnished turn-of-the-century rental in Amish Country, Ohio, filled with working antiques from the 1800s-1900s. Every item is authentic, functional, and yours to enjoy.
Type on genuine 1920s typewriters. Listen to jazz records on our Victrola talking machines. Tune into the golden age of radio with 1940s Motorola tube radios. Browse vintage books and postcards. This isn't decor you admire from a distance—you're living in history.
Guests routinely tell us: "This was like staying in a museum, but better because we could touch everything." The immersion factor, the Instagram-worthy photo opportunities, the novelty of using 100-year-old items, the storytelling woven into every piece—this is what sets us apart. We don't compete on price; we compete on being irreplaceable.
