A Family Adventure Full of Fun, Food, and Fresh Air
If you’re dreaming of a getaway full of hands-on fun, small-town charm, and peaceful countryside views, Amish Country, Ohio delivers it all. From petting zoos and farm tours to mini golf, hikes, and drive-in movies, this is a destination designed to help families slow down and reconnect.

Whether you’re staying in one of the family vacation rentals Amish Country is known for, or looking for family-friendly lodging in Sugarcreek, OH, you’ll find that every corner of this region welcomes kids, parents, and grandparents alike.

Day 1 – Check In, Unwind, and Play at Cabin Creek Golf
After settling into your cabin or game room vacation rental in Amish Country, start your trip with some lighthearted fun at Cabin Creek Golf — a local favorite for families. Play a round of mini golf, hit a few at the driving range, or challenge each other at the batting cages and sand volleyball court. When everyone’s ready to cool off, grab an ice cream from the snack stand before heading back to your lodge for a relaxed night in.
