Experience a simpler way of life in Lancaster, one of the centers of Amish life in the USA. Throughout the town, you can get a glimpse – or taste – of Amish life, making it one of the top spots to visit in Pennsylvania. An entire industry has sprung up around interest in Amish culture, and you can spend your days immersed in home-dining and farm experiences designed to educate you about this unique way of life. Many of these activities take place outdoors, and your pet is sure to receive a warm welcome. Here are some of the top pet-friendly hotels in Lancaster – bookable on Culture Trip.

1. Eden Resort and Suites, for a luxury stay

Set up shop with your dog in a pet-friendly villa at this swanky full-service resort, where four-legged family members (up to 80lb or 36kg) are always welcome. Eden lives up to its name with flower-lined indoor and outdoor pools, a whirlpool, a kids’ water park and an extensive recreation area packed with putting greens and ping-pong tables. Don’t want to leave your suite? Make full use of the kitchen and dining area for a pleasant night in. Alternatively, grab a roasted half-chicken at the on-site Arthur’s Terrace before heading to Encore Lounge for cocktails.

Take your pooch along to the live-music events that take over their parking lot on Wednesdays and Saturdays, or on an Amish buggy ride through Pennsylvania Dutch Country. Days here start the right way with an excellent hot breakfast buffet and refreshingly good coffee.

3. Amish Country Motel, to soak up Amish life

As the name suggests, this spot makes Amish observation its main draw. Nestled in a rural corner of town between rolling hills and farmland, the quaint hotel offers complimentary two-hour guided tours of Amish Country and bookable cornfield banquets. Hang out by the indoor and outdoor pools with your pup, or grab a roadside lounger to watch the horses and buggies roll by.
