Enjoy amazing autumn activities at a quaint, family-owned farm in the countryside, then depart to a cabin escape surrounded by fall color splendor right on Deam Lake. When searching for "getaways near me in Indiana," we think that sounds pretty darn amazing! Check out this itinerary:
Tucked away in Bruceville, Indiana, you'll find a delightful little family farm. Apple Hill Orchard has seemingly endless acres of well-cared-for apple trees that are teeming with fresh apples in the fall.
Despite the farm's name, apples aren't the only crop grown here! Apple Hill Orchard is just as famous for its sweet, juicy, and delicious peaches. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything that's grown here!
Autumn is the time of year for apple picking, after a whole summer of watching these tasty fruits grow.
Apple Hill Orchard has tons of apple varieties that will blow you away. You probably had no idea that so many different kinds of apples even existed! Here, you'll find more than 40 varieties of apples. Apple season runs throughout the fall until roughly early November. Plan accordingly, but know that weather patterns can cause slight changes to the apple season each year.
Once you've picked all the juicy, crispy apples that your heart could ever hope for, don't head out just yet! There are some just-baked to-die-for goodies here, too!
From apple cider donuts to apple pies, there are so many mouth-wateringly perfect autumn desserts crafted here. These creations are crafted with love from fruit grown right on the farm, meaning they're as fresh as can be. Bring your sweet tooth, and be prepared to buy at least one of everything, because it's all that tempting!
After you've finished picking apples, there's still plenty of fun to be had. Head about two hours away and you'll hit some of the most beautiful fall foliage in Indiana at Deam Lake State Recreation Area.
Our favorite thing about Deam Lake State Recreation Area is that it's a phenomenal spot for fall camping. If you'd prefer something a little more luxurious, rent a cabin here. Can't you just imagine waking up in the morning surrounded by the gold, reds, and oranges of the nearby forest?
If you'd like to see the fall foliage at its peak, the best time to plan this weekend getaway in Indiana is likely within the month of October.
Mid-to-late September will still let you enjoy the cooler temperatures, but the leaves won't be at their most beautiful.
Doesn't this look like a magical fall getaway?! For more information about this apple orchard in Bruceville, Indiana, including hours of operation and a list of all the apple varieties available, check out the Apple Hill Orchard website or the Apple Hill Orchard Facebook page.
