Of course the lure of a simpler, rural life is calling you. The notion of sleigh bells on the road and tiny mom-and-pop stores overflowing with hand-made items is exactly the kind of attraction you need for your next vacation. Time for a visit to Ohio Amish Country.

For hundreds of years, these humble Christian traditionalists have maintained a way of life that offers them a unique cultural experience to share with tourists who visit their towns across Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania, and over a dozen other states. Over the last few decades, the Amish population in the United States has grown by 120%, further carrying on their foothold in simple living. Members don’t officially join the church until they are between 16 and 25 years of age, as the Amish believe that this baptism is a choice to be made by an individual for his or herself upon adulthood. So those who continue to reside in Amish Country are those for whom the commitment to the traditions is strong.

Every aspect of your Amish Country vacation will be cared for by hard-working hands who consider hospitality to be a special obligation, and every bed is made and breakfast is prepared with this kind of service. And when you’re ready to shop, every find is a timeless treasure, built by hands that meant for their work to last with pride, a nice change from the same-old same-old in our “modern world”.

Buggy ride tours are hosted by the local Amish, and they can be your tour guide to a close-up look at the attractions in town, protocols for visitors, and your guide will offer you a first-person account of the town’s rich history.

One of the perfect roads where the modern meets the Amish Country experience is in Millersburg, Ohio at The Barn Inn. This six-acre bed and breakfast is situated on what used to be a ninety-acre dairy farm in the heart of Ohio Amish Country. Or head for the Lancaster Farm Bed and Breakfast in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. No boutique is as unique as the various rooms you can nestle in while vacationing here. The fresh breath of air you take in Amish Country will renew and recharge you for your eventual return home from this relaxing vacation.
