Meet Katie G., General Manager

Katie Gensemer, AmishView General Manager

What is your most memorable AmishView guest moment or interaction?

“A few summers ago, on a hot and super humid August morning, I was assisting our breakfast team with cleaning tables and delivering dirty dishes to the kitchen. It was a very busy day and I was hustling. A frequent guest of ours greeted me and we took a few minutes to connect. As we were parting ways, she opened her arms to give me a hug. Thanks to the high humidity, I was not presenting the façade of a serene and orderly general manager. Instead, rivulets of sweat were running down my temples. I was hot and sticky and my curls were becoming wild. I protested that I was not in an ideal condition for a hug. She waived my protests aside and gave me a hug saying that it was just so nice to see me and added compliments about the team. The gracious love from that action and the accompanying comments filled my heart and renewed my energy.”

What is your most memorable AmishView guest moment or interaction?

“My most memorable experience was when AmishView received the #1, 3-Star hotel in America by Trivago. We actually won this award two years in a row; however, the first year was really special.

For a small, independent hotel to have won such a major award two years in a row was a very special moment.”
