Ohio's Amish Country ~ Day 1

The drive into Amish Country in the fall is worth the trip alone. 



We tried our best to plan the getaway around the peak foliage times. The Discover Ohio website is a great resource for this. The site keeps track of Ohio's changing leaf colors. Click below to see Discover Ohio's Fall Color Report


We stayed at the "Whispering Pines" treehouse. Amazing home away from home while in Amish Country. For my full review Click Here



Hershberger's was a great place to start at. Farm animals, great food, and lots of shopping. See my full review here.



Where baby swiss cheese originated. Definitely a good stop to pick some up.

Took this picture next door to Chalet in the Valley (below). This picture perfectly demonstrates why we went to Amish Country in the fall. 



We ate at Chalet in the Valley. They are best known for their fondue and it was AMAZING!

Most of Amish Country is dry.  There's only a couple bars in reasonable driving distance. We visited a couple and definitely prefer Bags Sports Pub as seen above. We were able to chat with the locals here, watch some good games, and of course, have some beer! Great way to end Day 1 of our trip. For location and hours check out www.bagspub.com
