For all of you who are saying that this is not an Amish home, or it's "a new sect" of Amish.... I have many many friend in different plain groups. I have been in Mennonite homes, New Order Amish, Old Order Amish, Swartzentruber, and Old German Baptist Brethren homes. This looks very much like a new build home in an an home that is what most people would still call "Old Order Amish". New Order would have electric lights and telephones inside the home. Mennonites would even have computers and watch some educational movies on them. I even know some Mennonites who have internet. Please don't judge out of ignorance. There are many, many, many different Ordnugs who all have their own set of rules and allowances. Gas powered refrigerators, propane stoves, and running water are very very common, even in the more conservative areas. The heat would be a hot water boiler type of heat, not electric baseboards. It's fueled by an outdoor wood burning boiler.
So long as they believe in Jesus they can choose to live old fashioned or modern. I love those quilts but can't get one as I live in South Africa. If ever I go to America to an Amish town, I would love to buy a quilt❤🤗
Music drove me nuts. And I got the impression people who live an Amish life live a very old-fashioned way. Meaning no electricity, no indoor plumbing, way off the grid. More like horse and buggy days. There must be different levels of Amish living, so to speak? I also got the impression women don't get their hair done, no makeup, very much like the old days.
I'm curious as to the use of electrical baseboard heating, indoor plumbing, and the electric range oven there. I didn't think those things were typically in Amish homes. I've heard of some homes using types of solar power.... but NOT typical electricity.....
A beautiful home ! I love the hardwood floors.I have always envied the Amish for their way of life and their abilities.To take nothing and build something and make it work and enjoy it just has to be absolute happiness in accomplishment.I've read many books and watched documentaries and the Amish are just an amazing group of people.
This is Mennonites not Amish. Their is electrical power, lights and baseboard heaters. Get it right, why do people call Mennonites the Amish? Their are many cultural differences..
the appliances are likely propane. I think the home is beautiful! I have running water and it's from a well with a solar panel you can have the pump. and septic tank. the craftsmanship is amazing ..
I would admire the Amish much more if they weren't the biggest damned puppy millers in the country. And they treat their horses no better. Considering that, all their plain lifestyle amounts to is a mask to hide their total lack of humanity.
They don't have to be electric to be in any Amish home. They can both be LP gas powered, including the refrigerator. It's very commonly found in Amish areas.
There are amish that still do. This video shows more of a menonite life. The menonite church allows certain luxuries that the Old Order Amish don't. :)
Guess it depends on your point of view. Also depends on what's allowed in their particular community. Each community sets their own rules for living within certain parameters, called the "Ordnung." It's set by the Bishops, and can govern anything from what kind of buggies they can drive, to what colors are allowed for the clothing, the depth of the hems on women's dresses, the style of the "kapp" that the women wear, to whether they can have LP appliances in the kitchens, and everything else.
OOOHHH The canned goods look absolutely scrumptous! Yummy. Love the sheer vastness of the house. Getting into quilting. Hope I can make and teach my grand to have beautiful heirlooms to pass on. :-D Thanks for sharing this beauty! :-D
From time to time, people ask me, how can I know that I am saved? How can I really know that I have eternal life? That’s a really important question for every believer. If you don’t have a clear answer, you will live in insecurity and fear. That’s not God’s will for anyone! Some people will tell you that you can’t know for sure whether you have eternal life until the end of your life. How wrong they are! The apostle John says that the reason why he wrote about Jesus is, so that you may know that you have eternal life (1 John @, NIV.) We know that we have eternal life because God has promised it to those who have believed in Jesus (John @; John @). That declaration trumps every other objection we can throw up.
Wow they have running water. They are swartzentruber are they?? I live in Medina county Ohio and actually I just put a wood-burning stove in with an Amish guy today. The Amish around hereare so strict they don't even have running water in their home like that.
The shelves with all the glass jars look like a disaster waiting to happen that type of shelving if not installed propely will eventually pull free from the wall. I love the house,
Im curious what state county is this home in, is it specifically for tourist? I ask because ive lived in a very small town in upper WI along with the Amish and ive been in many of there homes and none look like this, infact new or old alost all the amish homes ive been inside look the same except for color choices even the furniture styles and set up per room are similar house to house. It is a very pretty home though =) thanks for sharing.
Ihold8stars yes it is for tours, they also have animals there you can feed , located in Walnut Creek Ohio, Walnutcreekfarmohio.com and I was privileged to help build this ranch;)
What about simplicity and modesty and lack of pride? I would consider this home to be luxurious, and extravagant. In New England this house would cost millions.
In the Midwest, this is a pretty mainstream typical, simple home. I've been in Amish homes there, and this is typical. There aren't decorations on walls, towels are plain, wood furniture not highly ornamental.... pretty Amish to me.
This house was also built by expert craftsman who don't build crap, or build "McMansions" - they build quality to last for many generations. Many are expert carpenters and furniture makers, by which they make their livelihood, since farming is so difficult to get into due to the shortage and cost of farmland in their areas. This is why they relocate sometimes, to find small farms they can work with horses.
I was Amish, and believe me, Amish peoples houses are never always all clean and tidy. And the bedrooms usually have more decorations. Amish people actually have way more decoration then some people think. And the blankets on the bed, while lots of Amish people don't have quilts. They buy their bed sheets and stuff. OK, that's all.
@ Marth Eicher I'm so sorry. I knew the Amish can be cruel to their ain folk. ie turning against them if they become *English*. I didn't know they're cruel to animals however. It just makes one realise just how hypocritical they truly are.Now I know why for eg in Return to Amish, they were so determined to become English.Poor Horses etc , & yet they claim to love God. I don't think God will be too happy towards them.
I long for a simple life such as that. Looking now for a home near Amish community so I can learn....not wanting to convert though. I love this home. It is so beautiful! Thanks for showing it to us!
this is a beautiful home and all I see are the bare necessities, is not filled with extras. I think their way of life is amazing but honestly it is about time to they make woman's work a bit easy, less back braking! I love this kitchen!
I understand that solar power generated electricity is now acceptable in some Amish homes. This may help us understand the presence of a thermostat and what are possibly electric baseboard heaters. (Although the heaters could be hot water type that use propane or wood fired boilers)
Yes, you are right. People who are making comments in many cases should be ASKING, not spouting off. Look people, they told you it was a NEW home. And my first readings of running water in Amish homes was for sanitation. Note that. Do you know how many Amish church districts there are??? If the leadership in your district or settlement says you can have these ammenities, then you get them as soon as you can sfford them. Or you get them built in when you build a house. Out here in the West, our non electric refrigerators run on propane. All my life I have heard of Servel propane fridges. Mennonites too have various allowances and restrictions. The next district north of us has different plain clothing. The next district south of us allows non internet computers. One of their ministers talks about his computer frequently, and I think it gives a wrong impression. Also, that district south of us has more dedicated peaceniks. We are pacifist too, but you cant talk with a couple of those southern district guys! Thank you for this tour. Please remind the viewers about closets, and that the family makes themselves scarce when allowing photography in their home. And I suppose they tidy up real good in preparation for photography, just as we would. People, remember the rules (ordnung) change by location and the severity or openness of the local leadership.
Wanda, I am very familiar with Old Order Amish in the Wisconsin/Minnesota region. There, they would not have brightly-colored quilts in their own homes, although they make them for tourists. The fabrics used would never have any print, either, as the one here on the quilt rack does. Quilts in their homes would be dark, solid colors, although the patterns are very lovely.
Kristyna Anderson the house is not staged, it is a business in Holmes County Ohio called the farm at walnut Creek, i know this because at the beginning of this process my dad and I helped build this ranch, and I've slept in this house, and the house was built simply to give customers a tour of a amish house ,and cook for special occasions, they are an exotic animal ranch that give tours, the owner also owns lazy 5 ranch in Mooresville NC, so why not use this theme in the center of amish country, Google it im sure they will gladly give you a tour and let you feed a animal or 2 :)
fridge is a bit much, running water i can kinda understand, but this home looks too modern to be Old Amish, could be Mennonite, or one of the New Amish sects
peggyt1243 ha ha easier?? plant the food, peel it up can it etc wash the cloths hang them out iron, feed teach and do your bible time I can go on and on it is hard back breaking work.
Are we talking about the same house here? The Amish are expert craftsmen and builders, so it's going to be the best. But I see no Jacuzzis, no extra gadgets in the kitchen, no his-and-her walk-in closets, no wet bar, nothing you would find in a typical million-dollar house in New England or elsewhere. This is a house built for a large family, and built to last.
Very modern home and nice decoration. But I expected something else. Amish home and Amish areas should be different. That's why I love Amish country. One time I visited Amish country in Canada I loved them . Because everything was different.
I see some electrical things in here I thought they could not have electricity
brettduffy19992 they are probably gas or propane operated.
They also have running water.
For all of you who are saying that this is not an Amish home, or it's "a new sect" of Amish.... I have many many friend in different plain groups.

Man I really wish I could meet u all, I think it's beautiful how u live life.
I got to see that house! Twice! It truly is awesome! I'm glad you are showing the world how awesome the house is! I want to live there

I love the bed and table coverings, very nice.
Interesting. I thought the Amish didn't have plumbing. Guess I learned something new. lol

I live very close to this house. and drive by it alot.
This is Mennonites not Amish. Their is electrical power, lights and baseboard heaters. Get it right, why do people call Mennonites the Amish? Their are many cultural differences..
Truly a beautiful home. What an honorable treasure of canned foods! The family must be so proud!
Love the quilt and bedsheets. Beautiful
Thank you Wanda for sharing this with us on You Tube! I have read many of your books and enjoy them very much!!
the appliances are likely propane. I think the home is beautiful! I have running water and it's from a well with a solar panel you can have the pump. and septic tank. the craftsmanship is amazing ..
That refrigerator looks electric

not many amish people r puppy millers

I see a beautiful homemade quilt and area rug. How do they use a sewing machine? I wondered if everything was hand-sewn?

Amish life ain't no different then the way my mother lived and she an she ain't amish
The Home looks absolutely Beautiful!!
The shelves with all the glass jars look like a disaster waiting to happen that type of shelving if not installed propely will eventually pull free from the wall. I love the house,
Background music too loud and annoying to enjoy the video. Sorry.
I thought amish had out houses see they fake as fuck.See my mother had a out house
Lmao there’s a 8k tv in every room in my house😂 weird comparing my house to yours
WONDERFUL HOME AND SO CLEAN LOVE IT GOD BLESS THEM
Electric Refrigerator baseboard heat this must be a very modern more liberal sect of the Amish
So beautiful and look at all the delicious looking can food. I love this home.
I enjoyed seeing this short video and I also enjoy reading your books!! Thank you for sharing!
neat and clean house. No pictures on the wall. It still has a lot of Germany today.
It doesn't look very Amish to me with modern bathrooms
Are the strict Amish allowed to knit and crochet?
might not seem so big when they get 16 kids.
Alex Donnett Oh Lord I can afford only one but sixteen I would become homeless!!
in uk only very wealthy people could afford house like this one
how do they run the fridge if they dont use electricity?
Yes
Very different from Amish homes I’ve been in
Im curious what state county is this home in, is it specifically for tourist?

Airconditioning spotted?
FAUX Amish...
Cut the damn music !
A beautiful home
wow that must be some rich amish people!!
They are highly skilled work hard believe in. cleanliness and order they take care of their things not slovenly like many in the world
Beautiful home.
this is a beautiful home and all I see are the bare necessities, is not filled with extras. I think their way of life is amazing but honestly it is about time to they make woman's work a bit easy, less back braking! I love this kitchen!

All I can afford is a 12x20 tiny house...
Is it for sale?
i just watched a video that showed gas powered fridges and appliances for amish no-electricity homes...cool
Wanda, I am very familiar with Old Order Amish in the Wisconsin/Minnesota region. There, they would not have brightly-colored quilts in their own homes, although they make them for tourists. The fabrics used would never have any print, either, as the one here on the quilt rack does. Quilts in their homes would be dark, solid colors, although the patterns are very lovely.
What does this have to do with amish people? Using wood? Does not look very 1800s to me.
they could be Mennonites. they are a little less strict about luxuries as the Amish.
Is this a home built by the Omish, or is it a home that was built "for" the Omish?
💗👍😘wow 😊🌲 LOVE from Germany. Angie 🌼 🌿
Very organize clean beatfule house .
very nice and thanks for sharing
Music Too Loud......can't understand you
Voglio abitare in questa casa. E bello!! I want to live in that house, it is beautiful!!

Conveniences**

great house!
nice home
Nice to meet you Mitt Romney!
BUCK MASTERSON 6363 Mitt Romney is mormon, he belongs to the mormon weirdos.
Music is irritating, commentary is useless and house looks staged. "Amish" has become a brand. Sells lots of books and furniture.
Kristyna Anderson the house is not staged, it is a business in Holmes County Ohio called the farm at walnut Creek, i know this because at the beginning of this process my dad and I helped build this ranch, and I've slept in this house, and the house was built simply to give customers a tour of a amish house ,and cook for special occasions, they are an exotic animal ranch that give tours, the owner also owns lazy 5 ranch in Mooresville NC, so why not use this theme in the center of amish country, Google it im sure they will gladly give you a tour and let you feed a animal or 2 :)
I thought Amish were not suppose to have modern consciences, like a fridge, toilet, electricity, etc.
?
fridge is a bit much, running water i can kinda understand, but this home looks too modern to be Old Amish, could be Mennonite, or one of the New Amish sects
thought amish didn't have plumbing?
The children's rooms are beautiful; not cluttered with a bunch of plastic toys. I am thrilled to see that life is easier for the women.
peggyt1243 ha ha easier?? plant the food, peel it up can it etc wash the cloths hang them out iron, feed teach and do your bible time I can go on and on it is hard back breaking work.
proudamerican57 Not easy for sure but easier than it used to be. The house has running water so no more trips to the well.
Easier is a relative term. Not easy but not as bad as it used to be.
peggyt1243
Life is easier for the women? Compared to what?
Are we talking about the same house here? The Amish are expert craftsmen and builders, so it's going to be the best.
