There’s A Breathtaking Cabin Tucked Away Near This Indiana Town

It's no secret that Indiana is home to plenty of Amish country, and if there's a community that absolutely kills it at hospitality, it's them! The local Amish folks love sharing their culture with us English (read: non-Amish) folks, and there's no better place to experience it for yourself than the gorgeous small town of Shipshewana, Indiana. So, come out and explore - plus, I found what might just be the best cabin rental near Shipshewana, so there's no excuse not to stay a while! Check it out!

Shipshewana, Indiana, is a gorgeous small town that's proud of its Amish roots.

There are plenty of wonderful things to do while you're here. For example, if you're a fan of bargains, you'll definitely want to take at least half a day and explore the Shipshewana Flea Market.

Once you've killed some hours finding all the best bargains on things like Amish furniture, foods, and more, you can meander to one of the many nearby natural attractions to spend the rest of your day.

The St. Joseph River is gorgeous and it's less than a half-hour from town. Alternatively, you aren't terribly far from Lake Wawasee, either, which just so happens to be the largest natural lake in Indiana. Of course, after all this, you're sure to be tired - and I found the perfect place to get some rest!

This gorgeous little cabin is in the middle of a bunch of nothing, and it offers all the peace and quiet you could ever hope for.

Its name - Haven of Rest - is perfect. This stunning little escape from real life is smack-dab in the center of some serious acreage. It's got floor-to-ceiling windows, a fire pit, and luxurious vaulted ceilings, among other things.

It sleeps up to eight, so it's perfect for a family getaway - though, of course, you can always come solo for some self-care.

One thing that's important to note: this cabin does not have wifi. This is a getaway meant to be a real escape, so relax and unplug for a while. After all, there's plenty more to do.

The next day, you ought to look into some other must-see spots in Shipshewana, like the legendary old Menno Yoder Polygonal Barn.

Built in 1908, it's a fascinating glimpse into the history of this beautiful little town and the folks who have called it home. You might also want to go check out the Menno-Hof Museum to learn more.

Finally, if you need a little more of the great outdoors, you can't skip a visit to Shipshewana Lake Park.

This delightful little park in Indiana has a lake of its own, and it's definitely lovely enough to dip your toes in and cool off for the rest of the afternoon.
