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.

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.
