Things to do in Amish Country.
A local guide to eating, shopping, and exploring around Berlin and Millersburg — all minutes from your Cricket Hill stay.
Holmes County is home to the largest Amish community in the world, and it rewards a slow pace. Here's how to make the most of a weekend — starting with the one show you can't miss, and with your treehouse or cabin as home base.
