AMISH COUNTRY TIPS

Many Amish farm stands and shops close on Sundays, so plan your errands ahead.

You'll find both cash-only and honor-system farm stands, so bring small bills.

Buggies share the local roads, so give them extra room.

Please ask before photographing Amish neighbors.

GOOD TO KNOW

Events are welcome, with plenty of parking for your guests.

Guests may use the wood-burning fireplaces, but firewood is not supplied.

Route 23 runs past the property, so you may hear some road noise.

The restored barn is not available to guests.

KIDS, PETS, AND CHECK-IN

Kids are not just welcome, they are encouraged.

Pets are welcome for a small fee.

Check-in is at 4 PM, and checkout is at 11 AM.

Early check-in and late checkout are available for a small fee when there is no guest conflict.

YOUR HOSTS

We live in Honduras, where we run Legacy of Hope Foundation, a nonprofit caring for orphaned and vulnerable children and their families.

Hopewell Creek Farm is our way of sharing a place we love with travelers while supporting that work.

Every stay supports our charitable work, and so does the complimentary Legacy of Hope Coffee in the kitchen.

Our family lives nearby and is happy to help with local recommendations and anything you need during your stay.
