- Many Amish homes have additions built onto them for the extended family. It is common for the grandparents/parents to live in an attached addition to the original house. Here we take a tour of a brand new dawdi haus added on to the original farm house.
Love it!! when you pan the camera, please slow down! that was a bit dizzying.
Thanks for reminding me. I tend to do that way too fast sometimes.
@LancoAmish I think you do it so people won't notice details that they're not supposed to. For example, what is the refrigerator and sewing machine powered by?
@@9983sp fridge is propane and sewing machine is air.
A beautiful house and what a sewing room? Any house with a sewing room like that is a winner. Thanks
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Greatly appreciated.
Probably for quilting! You need lots of room
@@sandrafrench6125 I love practical spaces in Amish homes. That cabinet and sewing/common area is lovely. The porch has my first love here, tho. Beautifully done!
I thought Amish didn’t have mirrors or electricity in their homes?
We just finished putting the roof on my back porch of my Dawdy haas here in Farmville Virginia this week so i can sit outside and watch the birds in the yard and the Hummingbirds. I'm all alone now since my wife passed away 2 years ago. But i adopted a little dog that is my great friend. I'm the last of our original "New Order" Amish community established in 1961 and i'm able to drive a vehicle for medical reasons and shopping and watch tv (Only for Church) and even use the internet with limitations and i garden with 2 large greenhouses and a field for row crops. We have Beachy Mennonites and Swartzentruber communities here as well as a few Hudderites that stay pretty well hidden from the public and rarely leave their farms except for medical emergencies. Life is good as we all await our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to remove his Church family from this sinful World.
Thank you for watching and sharing. God Bless.
Bless you all! What a great example you are in this messed up world. ❤
I'm curious to know more about your Amish group formed in 1961. It wasn't until recent years that I learned many Amish do not believe in being born again, but more so rely on following traditions to get to heaven.
Amen
What I love is knowing it will still be this clean in 10 years!
Seriously? Amish typically are very good housekeepers. Grandpa would have a DIL or granddaughter to clean if he couldn’t.
Absolutely, in my area anyway, they keep spotless homes.
Really nice idea that grandparents would have their own, gorgeous home, but still on family property.
My Amish grandparents would never have all those modern appliances. Wow. Guess new life has taken over. He will be sad.
It looks more like a Minonite home around here. Not Amish. They Amish are more conservative around our area
@mtnjhutch • I was surprised to see electric outlets, provision for a washing machine, and refrigerator.
@@yvonnetomenga5726 Confused here as well. Mennonite, assuming.
New order Amish. Where I lived in TN we had old order Mennonites. They didn’t have electricity or phones, drove buggies and wore homemade clothes. Now I live in Kentucky near some new order Amish. They have electricity and drive cars (but they’re all old). The women dress plain but the men wear simple store bought clothes and really just look like regular farmers around here.
i drive the amish i live in lancaster, some of these houses there building are crazy worth millions and they build them there selfs with there community contractors and it blows my mind what they can do
Beautiful homes indeed. Not just here but in Holmes County, Ohio and Northern Indiana. A viewer left a comment the other day on a farming video of mine and said the Amish were impoverished and filthy and were living like the poor in Appalachia. The guy is clueless.
It’s “their” not “there”…”themselves” not “there self”…where did you go to school ??
@@silviakeidel8187 who really gives a shit karen
@@silviakeidel8187 rude and unnecessary.
@@silviakeidel8187it's wild that we could all understand the comment anyway. Maybe you're better educated but your mama never taught you how to not be an ass.
I love it. The colors and space are beautiful. Wow, a sewing room.
I would love a sewing area like that to house my Bernina
Any color add to.Amish walls or cabinets are extremely rare
@@marilyncraig1582I was thinking that too, as well as many things that I thought unusual. Then I rethought that and remembered there are MASSIVE DIFFERENCES in the Amish and Mennonite groups.
@@nancydebiasio5273Absolutely.
I would ove this next to my daughter! That sewing space is awesome! I quilt so be perfect
This house is beautiful !the finishings are perfect, I would love a sewing room like that.
Nice to see a quality built home. Nice floor plan.
I live in North Wilmington, Delaware, and occasionally go to the Boothwynn Farmers Market. They sell some of their handmade furniture there. They do beautiful work, and it’s all hand done………blood, sweat, and tears go into every piece. I would love to own a few pieces, but they are soooo expensive (well worth every penny, though). They are good people…
Its veryexciting to see videos of my cousins family and farm a lot of memories linger from childhood to this day
I’ve always wondered what the inside of Amish houses look like and this one is beautiful! It looks well planned out. It must be nice for the older folks to know that they can age in place in their own home as they get older and not have to fear having to move to a facility like a lot of older folks I know.
Thanks for watching. They mostly all have certain similarities. A large kitchen open to a living area, an open floor plan if Church is held the home itself, a convenient sewing area, pantries, and lots of windows.
Beautiful house! I am surprised it isn't a ranch since it is for an older person. Love that the built in sewing machine is standard!
They are looking toward the future when the son and his family may be moving into this home and the farm is taken over by one of the children. Perhaps then the grandparents will be moved to a smaller flat.
The main floor has everything the grandparents need. Upstairs can be used for more nimble guests and storage that the grandkids can run up and down to get things for grandparents.
I didn’t think the amish used electricity.
@@lindaartz3297 it depends on what branch they belong to, here in my area we have both Amish and Mennonite and they are anywhere from no electricity to car driving.
@@JustGrannyB74
Thanks. I lived in Indiana for a while and none of the ones I saw drove or had electricity and my friends hired some Amish to build a barn and they were driven to the site and didn’t have phones or electricity but the Mennonite did. They did have very active businesses but they had a horse sale that we went to and were shocked at the condition of their horses.
Beautiful home. May God bless it, and may they prosper in all they do. Love from AZ-US 😊❤
That is an amazing house that they have built for the grandparents!!! Would love to live in a house like that.
Many skills can be learned from Amish methods..
Love all the windows. Blessings from God!!
Love the sewing/living room. The built in cabinets and sewing machine storage are great! A shower downstairs could maybe bw added later.
Yes I noticed that too. I would have put the shower downstairs. Hard to get into a tub as you get older. A lot safer too.
I love the window over the stove!
I love the idea if the Dawdi house but as a 78 year old, thats a lot of hoouse to take care of for and elderly housekeeper.I hope there is a bedroom or two downstairs so the elderly dont have to climb the stairs.All and all a beautiful home.After living with my Amish raised Mammi I can can attest that that rhat kouse will be spotless for many generations to come!
Beautiful home .
Looks like a lovely house, but I must say I believe I would enjoy it more if the camera weren’t swinging back-and-forth.
Thats a super big grandparent house
Beautiful home that will last for 100's of years
That's a Beautiful Dawdi Haus! 🌹 Lovely Video, Thank You for Sharing!!
Amish take very good care of they're own
yes they do. and there taxi drivers.
Wow that’s really nice. I hope Dawdi and his wife enjoy it for many years in good health.
Beautiful!
Ah such beautiful homes, such space, love it..... you are very blessed having all the space.... Happy home from little me in UK
You don't have any idea, how much work it takes to have a big house. In a few years I just want to live-in a tiny, house and léase the rest.
I used to drive a Brushy widower down to vist his widowed sister in law. He live in a little dawdi off the side of his widowed daughter in laws home. I'd drive his grandson home from work and I'd know if he wanted a lift because he'd be sitting on a tall chair watching out the front door window lol. I always wondered how long he had sat there waiting on us.
❤ Great workmanship. Beautiful home.
They are so talented and my wife would love the sewing room. I would just love to sit and look at the view😊
U should show us the barn where he standrd for 8 months . Great video
I live in rural Lancaster. I love it here!
A dog house for a grandpa! Ha ha Kenny climb the stairs? Can you get over the edge of the bathtub to take a bath? Can you get out of the bathtub after the bath? And whoever heard of an Amish house with the electricity? Has some of that knows nothing about your Amish community. It leaves me wondering. But I must say the buildings well fall out and well laid out except for the second floor. They should've put the shower in the downstairs bathroom instead of the second floor to allow for inability to climb the stairs to go to bed at night. Craftsmanship seems to be excellentand I like the hardwood floors. Thanks for sharing.
The vast majority of Amish in the 3 largest settlements have solar power in their home now. Amish become grandparents at a very early age. These were grandparents in their late 40’s. By the time they get too old to manage stairs their son will be moving into this house and the aged grandparents will more than likely be moving into a one level home. Many Amish live in multigenerational homes and they are always looking forward to the future needs of their families. If you have any other misconceptions that you want clarified I’m here to do that.
I have to say how programmed people have become about age! Since the Amish are very wise, and don’t let the pharmaceutical industry take over their lives and poison them, they stay healthy and live very long viable lives! Our country is probably one of the sickest countries in the world because of the Rockefeller medical system and pharmaceutical industry to keep us dependent on them for Money! Oh it gets way deeper which is what everyone in this country and world is going to learn very soon!!all is well! We are heading into the golden age and true sovereignty is ours! Enjoy what the Amish have for so many years! Make living free great again! Although we have never truly known freedom! No more depending on the government, really great days ahead of us all, if you choose! 🥰🌺☀️
We can learn a lot from the way others live. I’m enjoying watching all the way from Australia.
I never thought about such a flight of stairs for Seniors!
Many Amish homes are multigenerational. This will likely become the son’s part of the home when he retires from farming. The grandparents living here will likely move to a smaller apartment style home.
Exactly my thought too. Heck, I’m 58 and am hecka glad my house is one story. Well, if I could, I’d love a basement. I’d live down there!
There's a downstairs bedroom.
How do they sew without any electrify? Beautiful home but way too big for an elderly person!
@@PattyFlinn , compressed air powered sewing machines are quite prevalent in the large Amish communities as is solar power. So it isn’t uncommon for both electric and air sewing machines robe used.
Beautiful! Great video. Do a barn video please
Did I miss the drawing-room/living room? And clear glass in bathroom windows; is that normal? The larder looks amzing!
Many traditional Amish homes are wide open to accommodate Church. This home was built in that manner. The kitchen, dining, sewing, sitting area is one big room.
What a beautiful property.
My Amish have no running water, electricity, floors, painted walls, cabinets, etc. Theses are some fancy Amish.
Some Amish believe it is more “righteous” to race to the bottom. The Swartzentruber have shown that as the Mosey Mose split off and then the Andy Weaver from the Mosey Mose in their race to be more “traditional”. Pretty soon the Saturday bath will be seen as too progressive since in the 1700-1800’s a bath twice a year or less was common. There really isn’t any reason most Amish do what they do except tradition and then tradition only means back to a certain date.
My Amish here have painted walls, white, cabinets yes, wood floors which sparkle and shine and my farrier has a huge blue stove which warms and used for cooking. They also have a summer kitchen which is separate from the rest t of house to keep the heat contained with a lot of cross ventilation. They have an ice house for cold storage. Stays about 37 or below in their all year round, 12 in thick walls. And they have an outhouse
First time watcher from Australia. I liked your presentation but didn’t leave you a like this time. What will get you a like next time is at least giving the poor old Doggo a pat or a how ya doing buddy. Labrador’s especially are not any threat to any one and being kind is absolutely free. Thanks for your presentation.
Vicky was my neighbor for years. Vicky would have been all over me for half a day if I would have stopped and patted her head for half a second. 🙂 Vicky gets her allotment of my love when I have the time. Have a great day.
I love the fact that there's a place for the stove right in front of a window! That's a brilliant idea..wish mine was like that ❤
Until the grase gets all over the window
@@404hopenotfound Good point...never thought of it. I was thinking of smoke and odor going out the window 😂
Beautiful house and very spacious.....now for a flower and veg garden.....🙂
It's a beautiful house complete with a high-end sewing machine and a fridge with what appears to be ice making water supply (or was that a drain for the icebox?) and what looked like a thermostat. What I didn't see was a single power outlet anywhere even in the fridge area or wires in the joists downstairs.
Same here, and I did see electrical wires hooking up to the older farmhouse section (but no outlets in the new). So what gives?
I saw an electrical outlet in the mudroom I think.
@@Michele_6815 .. yes, for the washer.
@@Susan-t6i4l That's what I thought I saw. Better than hand washing overalls.
Would love to live in a house like that! Amish are remarkable craftsmen whatever they build, from a toy to a barn!!!!!😊❤
Beautiful place I love the country.
I would love to see more Amish home tours. Gardens and barns also.
Wow. A fine home. Well done, and thank you for sharing with us. No matter how far apart we think we are, it is amazing how much we are the same.
Thank you very much for watching and commenting. Both are appreciated greatly.
How I’d love that sewing room!
Beautiful! We have much we could learn from the Amish.
I love the Amish houses and they are beautiful ❤️
what a beautiful home to spend the latter years of your life..love the colors..thank you for sharing..Becca M
Thank you for watching!!!
Love it especially the big kitchen
It’s interesting to see they use electric appliances like washers, refrigerators and sewing machines now.
That must not be true Amish because they don't have any comforts.
And no dishwasher! And very little ceiling lighting
@@annafiorentin7120 New Order Amish use electricity. Old order and Swartzentruber do not.
Ttue, and I highly doubt either of these would let a videographer in to film.@sandramazer3387
Most use gas, notice no outlets
Very luxurious. Nothing spartan about it.
I’m surprised to see mirrors in an Amish home. It’s beautiful.
Mirrors have crept in! 🙂
Stunning home
So how is that fancy electronic sewing machine going to be powered?
Probably electricity, maybe solar. It could be either. They have different sects and some are more conservative than others. The ones here where I live in Pennsylvania have electricity hooked to the power grid, they all
have different standards in which they live.
This is gorgeous! Very interesting though, supposedly they don’t use electric BUT the sewing machine is definitely electric, electric for a washer/dryer hook up, central heating/ac cos i saw the thermostat in the sewing room but didn’t see electric for stove. Didn’t notice a single wall outlet in the rooms or kitchen. But a refrigerator? So they will use modern conveniences for these more important things it seems.
Propane
Fantastic. Love and Blessings to all.❤
Wow, I didn't know Amish people use washing machines and refrigerators. (We have a wringer washer off the grid and use propane for our fridge.)
Plus, there are two bathrooms, and that's a lot of space for a dawdi haus!
They don't they are not true Amish people.
If you notice the refrigerator has a gas line. Some Amish use propane for refrigerators. No overhead electric lights in this house, I saw an electric outlet. Some Amish use solar panels; the point is to not be hooked up to the grid. Some build houses with electric wiring installed in case they have to sell it to the "English" (meaning non-Amish), but don't hook up to the grid. Every Amish community is different, but the overriding concept is to enhance family life and community, and have nothing that distracts from it.
The sewing machine was modern and takes electricity?? I didn’t see any outlets but they must be there. I saw a thermostat but didn’t see heat runs. Water hook ups for washer? I’m so confused, especially seeing a work horse.
I must admit I'm envious.
I was really surprised to see the Bernina sewing machine. Not at all the machine I pictured in my head knowing that they sew all their own clothes. Very high quality. I understand that the Amish came from Switzerland so I guess it isn’t a surprise since the sewing machine is made in Switzerland.
My thought too. I said to myself.....daaaang a Bernina! I have seen them at the fabric store. $$$$
@@debbiel7736 Possibly income is earned from sewing clothing or quilting or other sewing crafts.
@@SandraCraigCraig I wasn't questioning where they get their income.
I have also heard these houses referred to as Granny flats.
That’s a lovely home. So smartly built of course!
they could do like the russians and built a mason fireplace for heating and cooking, called a petchka, which can also have a ledge above, below or off to the side for someone to sleep on in the winter where ambient/radiating heat keeps it warm. very efficient.
What a lovely house! Very well made and just gorgeous!
I was told that they didn't have electricity . But there was spots for electric washer and dryers and refrigerator.
Amish have been using solar power for many years. The only electric used (solar) in this home is for the washing machine. There is no dryer. The refrigerator is propane.
What about that Bernina sewing machine?
@@valerijohnson2839 , it has been modified to run on compressed air.
Very nice enjoyed your video. Have a great day.
Thank you!
Really nice super nice. Catered to the women. That's great!
Amazingly beautiful house!
What a wonderful house. Not luxurious but well worth living in. So much room and space for modern conveniences. How many people would be living in this addition? What would be the source of power for such a nice house?
Hello! Thanks for these videos, we love to see Amish farming and their love of the land and for animals. You're lucky to be able to video. Hey, we don't see and radiators, how do they heat their house? Thanks, Bob
Thank you for watching. This house has radiant floor heating with an outdoor wood furnace. A lot of new Amish houses are using radiant floor heat. Some use propane furnaces.
Except for those who have the puppy mills and the dogs live in horrible conditions.
Beautiful house with a wonderful sewing room! The only thing I would change is the location of the stove. Not a good idea to have a window right over it, especially if you want to open that window! New subscriber from Ohio here. My husband and I visit Lancaster County, PA about every year. We visit Ohio Amish Country several times a year because it's only a 3-hour drive from where we live next to Lake Erie. I can't believe I just saw this video today!
I was thinking the opposite about the window over the stove. I would like it to open so the heat from the oven could escape instead of making the house so warm.
Beautiful place!
What a lovely big home !
Beautiful! I love the colors. ❤️
Nice colors and flooring. I’d love to see a floor plan - it was too hard to figure out the actual layout and there were so many choppy walls.
Beautiful home. Went to one in PA, however, nothing electric at all, and no mirrors in the home.
Everything is Beautiful
Beautiful home.
This is beautiful . I could live in a house like this
My family’s from Bever Springs, Middleburg PA and they always said they wouldn’t associate with those Modern Amish in that area. Running water, Electricity and where’s the wood burning stoves???
“Backwards” is the way some Amish here describe those there. The Amish there, just as everywhere, have had their differences among themselves. Families or groups of families will just move away rather than cause a Church split or the Church splits outright. Every Amish settlement thinks they are “doing it” right and that’s obviously impossible. Swartzentrubers think the Nebraska Amish ( white toppers) are way too modern. Amish, regardless of settlement” pretty much believe their way is best…and for their location and time they may be correct for their little slice of the world. One size doesn’t fit all in any world.
No outlets at all! I always wonder how they combatted the humidity and moisture in a beautiful house like that with no electricity
There was an outlet for the washer. I think one for the fridge. And that Bernina sewing machine doesn’t come with a treadle.
We live close to an Amish community and they would never be able to live in anything this modern with all of the modern conveniences.
I live in Lancaster County and have been in Amish homes. When did the Amish start using indoor plumbing and electric???? Never saw that before!!!
Thanks for watching. The electric is solar. I’ve never been in an Amish home in Lancaster County without indoor plumbing.
😮 lots of updated things. Why mirrors if they don’t use them and just cover? Sewing room I love, but is that an electric sewing machine? I thought grandparents homes were smaller. This is huge. Love it.
Thanks for watching and dropping a comment. Mirrors are pretty common as is solar power in many Amish homes in Lancaster County. Many grandparents still have children at home. In the future this home will more than likely be used by the next generation who is doing the farming now. At that time the grandparents may move to a smaller apartment like home.
Beautiful home. I didn’t think they were rich
Beautiful! I was surprised to see the outlet in the mudroom and the washer/dryer and fridge hookups. I wonder if they’ll use propane to power the appliances?
It also feels weird that you are posting videos about Amish life on TH-cam, since it seems opposed to their rules.
The washing machine is run by solar power. There is no dryer. The fridge is propane. The sewing machine is powered by compressed air.
Very nice, not at all what I expected.
Stunning.
Indoor plumbing, electric sewing machine, and refrigerator, thermostat (so interior heating). Huge with all hardwood flooring. Not what I was expecting
Thanks for watching. Many Amish homes have indoor plumbing now. That would include nearly all in Lancaster County. The sewing machine is run on air pressure much like commercial machines. Radiant floor heat from an outdoor wood furnace heats this house. Many new Amish home are being built with floor heat now…much safer. The only electric…from solar…in the house is for the washing machine…fridge is propane.
This home is not large compared to many Amish homes…3-4-5,000 square feet
I was surprised to see an electrical outlet in the washing room. Were those power lines outside leading to the house or was that a clothes line?
Thanks for watching. No power lines to this house. You did see an outlet for the washing machine and that is supplied by solar power.
I didn't see any ceiling fans or a/c units. Still, it's lovely
The only electricity into the home is from solar power to run the washing machine. All else is propane or runs on compressed air Blume the sewing machine. Thanks for watching.
I lived in Mount joy pa for 19 years the first place we lived was in half a house the other half was Amish they are great people my father in law still goes to see them I never really heard of doggie abortion until living there though
I just read up on doggie abortion as I never heard of it before. I am absolutely appalled of the actions of the Amish Community (particularly in the Lancaster Area) in their treatment of female dogs and their puppy farms. Disgraceful. In Ireland this Community would be heavily prosecuted and banned for life for having animals. Disgraceful conduct and people.
I'm not sure if you staged the viewing or not but Amish don't do mirrors. And it's highly unusual for a Dawdi house to have stairs because that is generally not the case. As they become very elderly being on one level is why they build those homes. So I'm not sure of the authenticity
Thanks for watching. Please don’t believe everything you read about the Amish. Many dawdi houses are multi story. Amish usually have large families and that means children are still at home when another child moves into the main house. These grandparents are in their 50’s and still have unmarried children. Have you seen the 3-4 part homes in the larger Amish settlements. They are multigenerational homes. Yes, as a person gets to be real elderly they may move into a “granny flat” but that doesn’t mean all dawdi houses are that way.
As far as mirrors go…I’ve never been in an Amish home…many! that didn’t have mirrors and family photos tucked away in drawers etc. I’ve taken many of those photos over the years.
Next time you’re in one of the large Amish communities, Lancaster, northern Indiana, Holmes County…look for large homes that have had additions built onto them. There may be 3 or more generations living in them.
Within 2 miles of my home I could show you a dozen multi story dawdi houses either as additions to the main home or standalone homes on the property. I can throw stones and hit 3 of them!
Wonderful house.
