Horsing Around In Amish Country

Check out the Holmes County Rails To Trails hiking, biking, walking & horseback riding path in Ohio's Amish Country! Bring your horse to our Amish Country B&B when you come to ride the Rails To Trails path. Rails to Trails is part of a National program where old railroad tracks are being pulled to create hiking, biking, walking, bird watching and horseback riding experiences. The Holmes County section is the only one in the USA where you might pass Amish buggies on your adventure! Our Amish neighbor has facilities to board your horse. They will provide grain, hay and water in your boarding fee, along with a place to park your horse trailer. While we're only 2 miles from Berlin, we are surrounded by farms and you can even ride your horse around the back roads of our B&B. This is your chance to ride the Trail, as well as explore Amish Country's cheese factories, bakeries, restaurants, shops, antiques, wineries, museums & more! We'll make it simple by packaging your room fee with the horse boarding fee and you only have to pay 1 time! For guests who don't own a horse, we can set up horseback riding at a near by stable. They will not let you take the horses out to the Rails To Trails path, however you will get to walk, trot and run the horses with an experienced guide in the beautiful rolling hills of Holmes County. Available year round.
