A clean and comfortable home close to downtown shops. So perfect for my family

We used the Walker Family Inn to accommodate our family members who were in town to celebrate our daughter’s wedding. We received the keys timely and were thrilled with the comfortable size of the home. Even better was the location—close proximity to the shops in town and those in the surrounding countryside. My family was so pleased and already planning for another stay in the future.

Excellent place for family gathering

My family get together on Labor Day weekend was accommodated wonderfully by staying at the Walker Family Inn. Kitchen dining area space was excellent for the family to gather for breakfast every morning. Love the labeling of drawers for utensils too. Patio and basement were excellent for spillover, games and gathering to chat. Lots of space and nice touches in the bedroom areas as well.

Returning Home

Came for a large extended family reunion just outside of Arthur. I found the Walker Family Inn and it was a perfect location and size for our families. Beautiful wood floors and cabinets, and nice touches of some antique furniture pieces. Melodi and Tanya were great hosts. Tanya went through the house with us, and both checked in via texts regularly. Highly recommended.

Excellent

My family and I stayed here June 2018. It was wonderful! Tanya and Melodi went out of their way to make sure that we were settled and had everything we needed! The house is FULLY furnished--if you need something, odds are they will have it! The entire house was spotless, and very comfortable. It truly felt like we were home away from home! My 3 children had a blast in the basement! I highly recommend the Walker Family Inn without any reservation!

A wonderful location, in the heart of Amish country.

The house was clean and comfortable. It was quite quaint and very much a home with a lot of personal effects. The games room was excellent with ping pong, pool, darts and table football (foosball) which the kids loved, along with the wifi! The real star of the house is its location, a short walk to the town centre, Amish shops and restaurants. We loved Yoder's, a large Amish restaurant which was a great place to meet people. The whole town was very friendly. Tanya was extremely helpful and very responsive to any queries and met us when we arrived. Overall we had a lovely stay for 2 nights and really enjoyed the house and location.

Perfect for us!

This was our third time staying in this house and it's just perfect! We host dinner for 30 two nights in a row for a high school track team and this is a great place for that! First of all the house is spotless! Second, Tanya is very friendly, accommodating and helpful. She helped my daughter and I unload a car full of pots and pans and groceries in very hot temperatures and did so with a smile on her face! Third, the basement has a pool table, ping pong and foos ball and the boys loved hanging out after dinner. We hope Tanya will continue to let us stay for years to come!

I could have sworn the rental said washer and dryer . To find it was a extra charge ??? Was I mistaken ? Or was that , listed ??otherwise everything was great . And very accommodating

Tanya enjoyed meeting you and discussing the many things to do in the area as well as fulfill some extra requests that you had. We hope we did everything possible to make your first VRBO stay perfect. We are sorry that we did not earn a 5 Star rating from you due to the washer/dryer. A washer/dryer is not in our list of amenities, and we apologize for any confusion.

Delightful!

This home is a delightful place to stay. I host a group of 25 high school students for dinner two nights in a row and they love hanging out here. There is a pool table, ping pong table, etc in the basement and plenty of room outside for some of them to hang out and eat and relax. The house it spotless, comfortable and spacious. The owners are very communicative and helpful. I have stayed here four times and plan on continuing our tradition.

Perfect place to stay for GIRLS TRIP

It was absolutely perfect. First off, let me say that I use VRBO quite frequently; I have never had better communication than what took place with these owners. We are 6 mature adult women who came to attend the Broom Festival and just have a weekend away. The house was just right for us. Everyone had their own bed, no need to double up. We made the bath and a half work well by rotating shower schedules. Living room cozy for all of us to sit around to chat, read or watch TV. Back yard is nice with a fire pit and plenty of chairs to sit around. It was delightful in the evening. This house had everything we needed it. Highly recommend this home for your GIRLS TRIPS or FAMILYS.

Host profile image
Tanya Walker and Melodi Walker McKeighan invite you to enjoy and explore our hometown where "You're a Stranger Only Once"! We feel very fortunate to have grown up in small town America and enjoy the many amenities our village has to offer. You can walk or bike ride within minutes to the fair, fireworks, restaurants, schools, parks and downtown. You can also relax on the back patio or play pool or ping pong in our basement rec room.

Built in 1951, we have called this "home" since 1968. It still retains it's beautiful woodwork, mid-century modern styling, arched doorways and many unique built-ins. Even though we don't currently live in Arthur, we come back many times throughout the year to visit friends, family and enjoy the festivals. It is and always will be "home"!
