Review : Carlisle Inn Sugarcreek
Staycation at Carlisle Inns offers way to beat the pump The current economy is placing a damper on many summer travel plans this year, with sky-high gas prices, flight restrictions and cancellations and rising costs of just about everything. Everyone is making budget and living adjustments, but don't cut out your vacation plans just yet. You need a break from work, routine, daily life. You need a "staycation." And your destination could be Ohio's Amish Country. You'll create just as many memories as if you've spent thousands of dollars buying plane tickets or filling your gas tank. You won't break your budget, and there's a good chance your family fun meter will register high marks as well. Perhaps the best place to start is with a trip to one of the two beautiful Carlisle Inns. Dutchman Hospitality Group, owner of the Inns, operates the Dutch Valley campus in Sugarcreek with a Carlisle Inn as well as Dutch Valley Gifts, Dutch Valley Furniture and Dutch Valley Market; or you may opt to visit Walnut Creek, with a Carlisle Inn, Der Dutchman Restaurant and Carlisle Gifts to explore. From either base, you're in the thick of things. Research "Ohio's Amish Country" just as you would research a vacation hundreds of miles away. You'll be amazed at the area's Internet presence. Many websites contain links to other local attractions, and following the trail of information, you'll wander into places and experiences found only here in Northeast Ohio. If you have no access or experience with the Internet, visit or write the Chamber of Commerce for ideas for your new summer experience. Check the local tour companies, too -- they are in the business of knowing all about the area's activities. Need more ideas? Decide on your areas of interest, and -- unless it's skiing in the summer -- you'll find it here. We have everything from the fresh outdoors of state parks, intriguing art galleries and amazing murals, pampering spas, museums, fun local festivals, outdoor dramas, historic villages, to bird watching, treasure-hunt antiquing and flea markets, drama and music, spots for a cool-off swim and water sports, courses for scratch golfers and amateurs, tours of local culture and even hot air balloon rides! You'll uncover a wide range of options and events you didn't even know existed here in rural Ohio Amish Country. And then there are those moments that don't appear on any website, can't be scheduled by a Chamber of Commerce or paid for by any sum of money. If you are lucky enough, you'll catch a glimpse of a great blue heron in a watery spot near Sugarcreek. Or that moment when you connect with the real friendliness of a busy clerk in Berlin who has taken time to brighten your day. Or from atop Walnut Creek's hill you'll catch the wispy morning mists winding through the trees and farms of Goosebottom Valley while the early sun turns the skies pink. Or in the evening, watch the ever-changing colors of a flaming sunset. It's all there to discover, right in your own backyard. Visit www.dhgroup.com for more information. |
