Travelers who are interested in learning about the Amish might enjoy exploring the Nappanee, Indiana, area, where 2,500 Old Order Amish reside, make furniture, serve in specialty restaurants and create crafts. Nappanee also offers the McCormick Creek Golf Course, The Robert W. Callander Sportsplex and the Derksen Farm Wetland Area for outdoor enthusiasts. Visitors who enjoy the outdoors and prefer the amenities of home when they travel might want to consider renting a cabin in one of Nappanee's neighboring areas. Within two hours of Nappanee, travelers can find rustic accommodations.
Shipshewana Amish Country is located less than an hour from Nappanee and offers handmade Amish log cabin accommodations. Each non-smoking cabin provides free Wi-Fi, a porch swing, private bathroom and free continental breakfast Monday through Saturday. Cabins sleep up to four people with one or two beds.
Guests will be right in the heart of Amish Country, with furniture shops, crafters, frozen custard, restaurants and quilt stores nearby. The location is in close proximity to the Hostetler Antique Hudson Auto Museum, Wana Waves Water Park and the College Football Hall of Fame. Pets are permitted on-site but not inside the cabins (they can be kept in an outside cage or leashed outside).
