About this property

Raber House · Sleep up to 9 on Main Street - Raber House

Like a trip to Grandma’s house, The Raber House is as close to the action as you can get. Park in your reserved spot, walk to all the shops and restaurants, drop your bags back at the house, shop some more. Sit on the front porch and watch the buggies go by.

Accommodates up to 9 guests, with a full Kitchen, Living Room, Dining Room, Game Room, three Bedrooms, two full Bathrooms, a Sleeper Sofa, Rear Deck with Charcoal Grill, and a Front Porch on Main Street.

Book today, while you still can!

The Raber House features a Front porch right on East Main Street (Route 39) where you can relax and watch the world go by.

The Living room has two comfy leather loungers, TV and a queen-sized sleeper-sofa. The Antique Oak Table that seats six sets off the Dining Room. The funky green Kitchen is fully stocked and equipped so you can enjoy making those special recipes found only in Amish Country.

Bedroom 1 has one full bed, Bedroom 2 contains a full bed and a twin bed, Bedroom 3 features a queen bed, a TV and private entrance to rear deck. Two full bathrooms, both with hair-dryers.

There is a Game Room, complete with cards, board games and puzzles on the Sunporch that seats six,

We also provide an Iron and ironing-board.

This is a single story home. Guests have access to the entire home. All rooms and amenities are available on one floor. We ask that guests steer clear of the basement.

We live just over the hill and are typically available if guests need anything. We can provide advice and recommendations, but we generally give guests space during their visits.

Bookend your day with two must-see stops in the heart of Berlin that are right across the street: Boyd & Wurthmann's Restaurant, where you'll find your new favorite breakfast, and Main Street Fudge and Popcorn, serving the best ice cream into the evening hours. The in-between is totally up to you!

We provide free reserved onsite parking, and there is also a large public lot adjacent to the property for extra cars or guests.

Each room is thoroughly sanitized after each check-out. You can be assured of sterilized accommodations, including bedding and linens.

Raber House Review

The house is an older house but very well maintained. It was very clean, well-stocked with necessities and comfortable. We had a girl's weekend, all of us are over 65, and it was perfect for us. Easy to find, in the heart of downtown Berlin within easy walking distance of the many stores and restaurants. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch people watching. The one recommendation is to replace the mattress in the small bedroom off the kitchen. There is a big dent in the middle of it, like the coils are broken. Otherwise, we highly recommend this place and would return again.

Family Amish Trip

We loved the location and charm of the Raber House. It felt like a visit to grandma's house. The home was clean, neat, and spacious. We loved the game room for building Legos and the front porch for watching traffic and buggies. Would definitely stay again and recommend it to others!

Girls Weekend

We booked this house because of location, the pictures make it seem like it has some really cute personality, however it needs renovations. The laminate flooring in the house is chipped and broken in places, the beds are all super uncomfortable and hard, the master(?) bedroom light flickered constantly like there was a short and the front door was impossible to get locked with no instructions on how to lock it back. There was dirt and grime on both porches, inside the house was dusty and really just needs a good wipe down and a good coat of paint. The back screen door was missing the glass and the screen so it’s just all open. We wanted to love this place because the owner was so sweet, making sure we knew where to go for anything in the area, and was communicative the whole time, but we won’t be returning to this house just due to the cleanliness.

Grandma's house

The location was good for shopping, etc. but the kitchen sink and the tub drained so low you could not use them. You could however use the shower in the other bathroom. If you are in the older age group, you may not like the floors, They are all uneven and you have to be very careful if you get up in the night to use the bathroom.

Great location

Sitting on the front porch was great, people watching and seeing the Amish buggies go by. I walked the streets everyday. I could shop and drop my packages off at the house.It was a convenient drive to buffets, plays, comedies,buggy rides, & touring farms. Also toured the Victorian House Museum in Millersburg. Fantastic. Very good price. Many things to see and do in Amish country. The house was clean and roomy. We had a wonderful week.

Weekend Getaway

Extremely convenient location to everything and very comfortable for a two family stay. Effortless check-in and check-out process. The only negative things I could say house is dated, kitchen drain was somewhat clogged and would suggest a new/clean kitchen scrubber after each stay.

In the heart of it all...

The location was nice and the house was well equipped. There were a few deficiencies that made the house less than good. Upon our arrival, the kitchen sink faucet would not shut off without toying with the alinement. Coffee maker was filled with water and the filter was filthy. There were empty water bottles under front bedroom and the thermostat was not properly mounted. Also, a big concern with kids...old house and lots of chipped paint; and for old folks no transition threshold at MBR door to hall and cracked vinyl floor tile is emerging. The house needs some work and it should be 'better than good' at that time.

Many reasons to stay at Raber House

The purpose of our stay was a girls trip for shopping and exploring the area. Raber House was a good choice for several reasons. The location of the property was the perfect hub as we could easily walk to our favorite shops and restaurants, then stop by the house for a break and to drop off purchases. As a guest of Raber House you have the best parking space in Berlin. As advertised, the home is older but is very clean, comfortable and well stocked. The front porch is a great place to relax in the evening after a busy day. Most importantly the hosts are first class. They communicated details clearly and thoroughly and seemed to really care that guests enjoy their stay.

Definitely would stay again

The location was perfect! The only things that would make the house perfect is adding more secure locks on the outer doors, adding a door on the basement so it doesn’t seem so creepy and adding a curtain to the inner door by the side door. I also don’t think the sheets were changed from the prior guests on one of the beds. The owners seemed great but we only communicated through email and they never replied to me to make sure they got our check out notice. We would definitely stay here again.
