Great, unique and traditional furniture and accessories. Mostly hand made by local Amish craftsman. Inventory changes frequently so check back often. They can be a little hard to find as gps wants to take you to a different location. Enter actual address or ask locals if you have a problem.

Very high quality items, but you'll definitely pay for it. Very expensive, but the selection and quality are the very top of of hill. Would definitely love to buy something here someday, when I can afford to.

Have purchased several pieces of furniture at Homestead. Now, I can't afford to walk in the door. Beautiful pieces but no longer in my price range. Beautiful showroom and friendly staff.
